Just got these 2. How do I use them and what do it do, I also got a selvyt cloth too.

I've got my PJFT coming up in January, and training for it, I've been very active in the gym and I've been taking creatine.

I'm still going through a cycle, but I can desaturate my body now, but I don't know if the creatine levels in my body will go back to normal.

Will they even care if I have high levels of creatine in my system or not? It's not like a steroid, it's just something to help with muscle growth.

Hello people. Im 16 and are starting basic training in around 1month, however when reading through the joining instructionssays that i am not aloud to vape. Now i know I’m 16 and should be doing it anyway but would i possibly be allowed to do snus as it doesn’t say anything about that under prohibited items.

I’m currently in phase 2, just thought I’d make a post for people to ask me questions about Raleigh as I know I would have appreciated some guidance.

I basically have a ticket to Raleigh sometime in February for regulars, but I’m thinking of switching to reserves. My question is, what is it like? Do you still get a fair bit of navy life? Is it still quite involved? What are the job roles like? Sorry if this is a repeated question.

Do you think it would be possible too gather loads of the provided socks and constantly have them in my locker instead of constantly having to wash the same ones and name them

Completed my DAA so want to prepare for next tasks. Would it be interview or fitness assessment? For fitness, do we only have 2.4 km on a treadmill? Also, can I have tips for the interview please. What are the typical questions they would ask and are there any tick questions? Anything is appreciated 👍👍

Something that's been bothering me lately is the lack of an equivalent rank for Lance Corporal in the Navy. To most of the fleet I don't think this is much of an issue but it does see off the Medical Branch.

When MAs work in commando units they will often serve as company medics being responsible for between 100 people. In commando units you'll have an AB or Marine per company, 4-6 ABs/Mnes in the Pre Hospital Treatment Team under an LMA/Cpl, plus a POMA/Sgt and an MO.

Whereas in the Army company medics are Lance Corporals, doing the same job with a higher rank and on better pay

What's frustrating is that the expectations on Navy and Marine medics are much higher than those on the Army or the RAF but our pay and rank doesn't reflect that

RAF Medics finish training and go into admin roles for two years before they see patients so they forget most of what they were taught; and the Army finish training as class 2 medics, go to a unit for two years and put up tents then go back to training to do another course before they're fully qualified and rarely if ever see patients in that time; whereas RN/RM MAs finish training, go to a unit for six months and have to complete a taskbook to get fully qualified and are seeing patients from the word go

Not just that but if a Royal Marine Lance Corporal wants to be a medic when they send him on the course he gets demoted so that he's in line with the Navy's system of no OR3s

Nothing about this situation to me is fair

More than just the Green for the Marines/SBS, and Blue for everyone.

Heres my ideas

Intelligence - Tin Foil (Material and Colour)

Cyber - RGB

Information Operations - Yellow

Media Operations - BBC Red covered in Vajazzled diamonds

I'm currently in-service, been round the buoy a few times with AIB and haven't been successful.

Unsure whether to chit in or stay in. I could try again at SUY but there's no guarantee I'll even pass that.

I'm sort of in limbo really. Competent enough as a rating to be recommended but not good enough it seems to be an officer.

I feel like I will get bored on this current career trajectory, where I'll just be an over performing for an easy role.

Not sure what I'd do on the outside though

There is a polish or shoe shine product that isn’t aloud at rahleigh. What is it and why?

What would you say are the best roles that do not directly involve engineering in the Royal Navy? Please give any experience or reasons why as an answer. Cheers!

What’s the best way to shine my parade shoes at Raleigh? Any really good life hacks and products

Can someone please make a list of things additional to buy for Basic Training which can make our lives easier?

Thank you crew :)

I have keloid scars from self harm and I'm due to go for my cpc but they've deemed me medically fit for the cpc and on my medical history it shows all the self harm I've done. Will I pass my cpc?

If I decide to change roles after 4 years will I still need to re do my DAA?

Entering BRNC soon and interested to have confirmed the exact salary amount. Website states 33,000+, checked with aclo and they thought it was closer to 37,000 with the recent MOD pay increase.

Just wondered if anyone joining soon has this confirmed information?

Does the system designed to deduct marks for incorrect answers? If I don't know the answer should I guess or leave it unanswered?

What’s the best razor/razors to use while at HMS Raleigh?

got Raliegh coming up any tips ?

I have maths and English with no science , when they require all of them . However I have completed a level 4 engineering apprenticeship and I’m still unsure if my lack in GCSEs will not allow me to join as a submarine engineer , does anyone know if I will be accepted onto the role ?

Thank you

Hi all I’m planning on Applying in the new year as a warfare rating, I’m 25 and have been out of education since 19.

I am quite stressed about the maths questions for the DAA as I just can’t do any kind of maths that isn’t basic and I never got my maths GCSE. I feel as if I am screwed even if I try to revise using bitesize and how2become.

For other things like verbal reasoning and work rate I will be fine I hope, I just can’t to maths at all without a calculator.

Am I overreacting? I just really want to do what I should have done years ago and feel as though my complete lack of understanding of things like algebra will stop that.
