Subs info

[JimB]

I'm currently a phase 2 trainee ME. I'm surface but thinking of going subs as I'm from Glasgow to be based at faslane. Another reason is I do not what to do 9 months at sea. I know certaihn subs do 3 months on but I was wondering what A and T boats do? Any information would be great

Jim, just an idea, but if you are in Sultan, why not look around for a sundodger or two and just ask them? You'll probably get a better answer from asking a few of them.

Faslavatory is great if you come from nearby - I'm from the Burg!

And it's boats - you get subs in a famous sandwich chain!

also get subbies when away.
also the info your are after is not really for open forum.

For a phase 2 trainee at Sultan to be asking this question on and open forum beggars belief. There will be a plethora of information available to you at Sultan.

Speak to anyone at ETICC or any Submariner on course and I'm sure they'll give you a sensible and un-biased opinion...

Seriously, you are in the best place for information of this kind; go to ETICC, knock on the door and ask the question!

Rutherford block has submariners in it. Follow your nose...

Well he is trying to become a stoker GS where for thought and planning not really required, if he wants to change to SM, he had better book his ideas up.

Close enough for Government work.

Now he knows where he should be its up to him
Good luck

But arguably closer to Alverstoke...maybe.

As long as its not Fareham, that would be the wrong parade ground

And asking it in Current Affairs FFS. It isn't making the news.
