No, you are not allowed to take your cars to HMS Raleigh.

 

ok thanks for that any one know anything rregarding the other question?

 

Approximately 60 divided into two classes.

 

Just to help out, thats 30 to a class.

 

assuming they are divided equally..... :roll:

 

As said expect 50 to 60 to join HMS raleigh, of which approx 10 to 12 may be divers (from what I have heard).

New Entry trainees are not allowed to take any vehicles with them to Raleigh. However when you move on to phase 2 training you can normally take your own car/bike.

And you don't need to bring your own water.

 

.....can I bring my own oxygen ?.

 

Check your Raleigh list young man! :lol:

And bring flippers, 3 cherries, half a bottle of tequila and a slice of Victoria sponge.

Don't ask, you'll find out when you get to phase 1. :wink:

 

I wouldn't. There are a lot of oxygen thieves at Raleigh :lol:

 

:roll:

My brother warned me about those crazy oxygen thieves. Luckily he packed an extra bag full of it.

 

This may sound a bit incongruous of me, but I don't care what you say, come phase 2 i'll be doing aircraft engineering, and I'm definitely going to take WD40 and some duct tape. One for jammed stuffed, one for broken stuff, dedication's what you need, if you wanna be a record breaaakkeerr, oooh yeea :strong:

 

Oh I know plenty of people who would go mad at someone calling fins "flippers" and that divers don't breathe oxygen!! Have I just bitten?? :lol:

 

Yes

 

The class sizes are being reduced next term so there will be approx 50 newbies each week

 

Any particular reason? With the AFCO doors being beaten down by potential recruits are we struggling to get them through Raleigh?
