I have been told by one of the people from my local AFCO office that for the role I have applied for in the Subs that the waiting list is around two months.I do understand that there can be a significant wait between initial application and setting foot inside Raleigh,
Warfare Specialist TacticalDo you mind me asking what role?
She made it out to be both. She did say that the Submarine Service would take me on very quickly due to them being so short on recruits she said it may be 2 weeks or 2 months after my tests are all done.Is that two months including the tests, fitness tests, interview etc or two months after those have taken place?
Great fish and chips. Terrible beach.@pompeyexpat I quite like living in helensburgh, it's a lovely town, the married patch is really good community is great and scenery around here is beautiful![]()
Can't say the beach we have here in my town is any better. At least we can see ships berthed up next to Dunfirmline as well as the Forth Road/Rail Bridge. Adding to that we see lots of Merchant ships sailing up and down every day. Due to a rather controversial oil plant close to us we can no longer smell the salty sea air.It's hardly a golden Sandy beach but never the less is a beautiful view from my living rooms and bedroom looking out at the sea and a nice walk along the front to the park in the sun is a damn sight better than walking past brick buildings and litter on the floor and a horrible murky canal in the town I used to live In haha
Good luck to you however it goes fella!For just now I wouldn't be moving out my home town (about 50mins drive from Helensburgh) as I am the main bread winner and will be for a while.
It makes sense financially to stay here and keep my LO in school, having family around to help with childcare as I work.
Perhaps in the future it may be possible to relocate and reduce my teaching hours/work supply, leaving me clear for childcare and we rely more on OHs wage (obviously if we get married too) and rent our home out.
