Submariner 'Golden Hello'

Hello, I applied to join the R.N in 2010, at that point in time the 'Golden Hello' was being advertised as an incentive for people to join the silent service. However, now in 2012 i have received my joining date, and the 'Golden Hello' is no longer being advertised. Does anyone on the forum know if the 'Golden Hello' will still be paid to people like myself? Cheers.

 

Yes it is, once you qualify and get your dolphins obviously. And it is still advertised.....http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/Careers/Explore-Opportunities/Job-Finder/Roles/~/media/Files/CNR-PDFs/Pay.pdf

 

Mercenary lot nowadays aint they?

 

Some years ago under Defence cuts the Golden rivet and the Hello Sailor were combined to give the Golden hello, you will be issued with some KY jelly and a lippy in a colour of your choice.
