That...and I think engineers do phase 2 training at Collingwood. Weapons engineers at least, I know my own specialisation does phase 2 at Sultan which is right next door. There might be other roles who train phase two there as well. Makes sense to send us there since we can do both phases without getting shifted about too much. Don’t know how training will differ between Raleigh and Collingwood.Can I ask did I read somewhere that they are going to do basic training at HMS Collingwood next year? Why will that be? Will that mean they can push more recruits for to reduce waiting times as it would seem?
More recruits and to spread the load. Raleigh will have one class per accommodation block instead of four during the present pandemic.Can I ask did I read somewhere that they are going to do basic training at HMS Collingwood next year?

You'll probably go to Tal-Y-Bont in the Brecon Beacons as I did during Phase 2 at Collingwood but don't quote me.I’ve actually been wondering how training at Collingwood might differ from Raleigh. I mean what happens when it comes to exercises like Piers Cellars, do the Collingwood classes commute or do you just miss them entirely? Do you still go out to Dartmoor?
Erm, Brecon or Dartmoor?? Difficult choice..You'll probably go to Tal-Y-Bont in the Brecon Beacons as I did during Phase 2 at Collingwood but don't quote me.
I never did Dartmoor as I didn't join up at Raleigh.

Na, they’re both equally as horrible in winter.
