Hopefully Soleil will come back to confirm. I'm not an engineering graduate, but I have a physics degree and AIB have confirmed it is acceptable.Sterling_Stirling said:older_joiner said:Funnily enough this is the role I want and in the process of applying for, but I haven't had my SIFT yet and it's not due until next month, so I am somewhat dubious that I could get my AIB done before January (although it should be noted that I'm willing to try).
Ring the number mate, by the sounds of Sol's post you could be fast tracked through sift and AIB.

I have a thing about queue jumping, but if there's the possibility to get in for January I'm willing to push the issue (and indeed ring the number in this case).
edit- I also don't want to ring the number and when asked about how I got the number and how did I know there was a urgent call for engineering graduates for AIB in January, my response is 'some guy off the rum ration forum said so' (I know Soleil is a recruiter, no offense intended).

I am a recruiter for the RN and RM, we had a memo that came out saying that if we had any WE officer candidates then they should be processed as quickly as possible for the entry in Jan 2011.
"As you are aware, WE Officers currently stand as our No1 recruiting priority and hence the requirement to see if we can get candidates through AIB up to 15 Dec 10."
I don't know where Soleil got her number from, she is not a recruiter, but is a good source of normally correct information.

RobW said:I'm starting in the January 2011 intake with the weapons engineer role. Is it possible to switch to weapon engineer (submariner) part way through BRNC?
I am presuming there will be plenty of opportunity to volunteer? lol.
