Start date at HMS Raleigh

[Davo72]

Hi, my son has his start date for HMS Raleigh for 28th October, 4 weeks on Monday, he has accepted his place via the Navy portal and given in his measurements for kit etc, he was told when the recruitment officer rang somebody would be in touch regarding PRNC, but he’s yet to hear anything..should he be contacting the recruitment office or wait? We still have no idea what Kit he needs to take with him

I would be contacting AFCO I had my PRNC date around 3 months before my start date also had kit list for PRNC and Phase1.

Yes he should be contacting the recruitment office.

Ok thanks, the whole recruitment process only took about 12 weeks, from first interview to offered place

Oh that's fast, sounds like he doesn't have to do the PRNC as they are trialling not doing it anymore.

What branch is he joining?

No, as an advanced apprentice Marine Engineer... he can’t cook

That’s fast I would get him to call them on Monday and see as they did do a trial where they stopped the PRNC but after speaking to staff at mines a few weeks ago they told me they have now stopped it as it didn’t go to plan and the percentage of people going to Raleigh and dropping out and failing the fitness and swim test was huge as they never got the shock at PRNC to go and train harder

Kit list for Recruit training

. he can’t cook

There were always a few like that after Cooks training, that excludes our very own @dapperdunn of course.

@Davo72

Any chance you could forward me a copy of the kit lists too? My family member is soon to have his PRNC at HMS Collingwood, and then off to HMS Raleigh, for phase 1 training.

He hasn’t received them yet. I’ve looked everywhere, but not able to find a definitive list.

Thanks

Tell him to contact his AFCO ASAP as they should’ve given 28 day notice for PRNC, but I’ve heard some people don’t do it as they are trialing the course to see if it’s worth fully investing money into it. I don’t know how true this is though so tell him to contact his AFCO just to be safe
