Pwdrin said:Ye I understand what you are saying. But I have been wanting to join the RN for while, I then decided that I will join the NHS or something. Mainly because I wanted to be a pilot and knew there was no hope.
I am commited and want to be on the sea but I feel that my life will have to be put on hold and don't know if im, ready. I've been thinking about joining and find it so hard as I'm in a real realationshop and everything right now.
I also want to be able to settle down that's why Log officer as a career it gives me skills I can take outside the RN

Just out of interest, why Swansea Met and not University of Wales Swansea?
Pwdrin said:Ok guys so what your all really saying is if you have to think about the future your not ready for the RN?
I went to the office when I was 15, nealy 3 years ago. Sat the tests and failed by one mark in english. This was the first job I ever went for so it knocked me down so much (Was 16 at this time).
Now I am thinking about joining and the future and I'm not commited? Did no1 else have to think before joining?

Pwdrin said:I know its 24/7 and i havent said im not willing to go on a ship. I am willing actually think i'd rather it, but that doesn't mean I'll always want to be onboard. I might want to go ashore and get some exp of how that works. Having the chance to go home on the weekend would be a great, but if i get to go home for a week every few months, im fine with that.
