I may well be joining the navy after the new year and looking to go in as a marine engineer. Obviously i have to choose between ships and boats.
At the moment the boats are more appealing due to money
I have some questions about "Life" on the sub which on the face of it are silly questions so apologies if they are.
1) When on the sub in the mess or bunk area are there power sockets which can be used? (Can you use your own laptop while on board or use a power socket to charge an electric shaver for example)
2) I understand fresh water is looked after on a sub, i.e not wasted. Are you able to have a shower everyday or are their set times when water is directed to showers.
3) Part III training, i understand you try and do this when off watch, is it paper based or pc/laptop based?
4) What is the atmosphere like on the sub, is it hot and sweaty? cold? room temperature
Those are the questions for now, told you they are probably stupid but cant find the answers anywhere else
