RN Warfare Officer

[oldtrespasser]

Our daughter (17) has her first interview this coming Friday. She wants to join as a Warfare Officer. She really wants to command a ship, but she can hardly say that at interview. Any information on what is required 'on the job' as a warfare officer would be much appreciated. Times in the RN have changed since I was a gun layer on submarines!

...She really wants to command a ship, but she can hardly say that at interview.....

No reason not to, it's a worthy ambition and the reason most warfaries are in the branch.

Anyway, there is plenty on the site discussing it, but she should take all of it with a pinch of salt and recognise that in the timeframe she might be in contention for command much will have changed.
