your dolphins

[future_ET(MES)]

odd question, but when is it exactly that you're awarded your dolphins? as submarine school lasts only another 10 weeks after 8 weeks of basic, and that seemed too short a time to be turned into one of Gods chosen few.

While to go yet, not until you complete part 3 training at sea.

You will need to do your Part 3 on your first boat as well before you get them. In my day that was at least 3 months more.

Ohhh I had to down 6 pints of beer, each with a depth charger in, holding the dolphins. At the end of downing each one I had to catch the dolphins in my teeth!

This was watched by the whole bar at Drake, considering I'd had a fair few JD n cokes before hang, it went well :lol:

Yep, got mine! Along with a nifty hangover!

He said dolphins, not brown wings :lol: :lol: :twisted:

 

[Always_a_Civvy]

Surely Rosie is trying to earn her Golden Wings... but not if she cannot master Factortame... :twisted:

Got to ask, what is an ET(MES). Is it an E(TM), E(IS), ME(SM). I am guessing you mean ET(ME(SM)) If so you will do usually SMQ dry in Faslane or Devonport - next you will do your SMQ wet and then you will get your dolphins. SMQ dry lasts a bunch of weeks - about 8 I think and then qualification at sea another 6 - 8. Then when you do that you will go straight and do your Cat D watchkeeping etc....
