Can you post a timeline with regard your application?
It may well help identify issues that can be addressed for yourself and indeed others that follow. It's easy to point fingers generically but it would be ridiculous to suggests we don't make preventable errors, so all constructive feedack is very much appreciated.
One thing I would state is that for the first time I can ever recall we seem to have a surplus of Warfare Officer applicants and nowhere to employ them after they join...apart from perhaps using them to fill gapped ACLO billets which are increasingly common.
There have been significant software issues from November last year and certainly in my area, during this period, we've not had a Commissioned Officer (ACLO) in post for longer periods than they have actually had one in post....and it looks like this will be the case next year also with gapped billets aplenty.
I sat the entry test in april 2017, failed by one point for officer. resat in august 2017 and passed by much more.
medical october passed, fitness test november passed (my local nuffield have the wrong times on file so i had to run it two minutes quicker. didnt question it at the time as i was nervous, i mentioned it to the afco and they just said you should be able to do it as fast as you can anyway but that could be fail or pass for some applicants!)
conducted the careers discussions in december and january. (had to travel up to london from pompey for these as there was no on in the pompey afco to do these? the home of the royal navy supposedly!
been waiting since then for an AIB date. ive even been given age waivers for the next two intakes as im now 25 soon to be 26. i heard almost nothing from the RN between february and july when i was asked for all my gcse degree certificates etc then got a call a month after i submitted them to say my gcse certifcates were the wrong ones and i had to request them from my school (which i left nine years prior!)
so its been a long road. my aib is next month so now preparing.
