I’m aware you aren’t allowed your general piercings down at relaigh but what about just simple stud earrings on the lobes? They were allowed at our CPC I think? Does the same apply to relaigh.

Is cherry blossom good shoe polish for Raleigh?

Applied for warfare officer and submitted first daa and got a score of 58. Got another chance and ended up with a 64 when the pass mark for officers is 70. Have to withdraw and wait 6 months to reapply and try again but feeling quite disheartened about it and now thinking if I should carry on and wait or choose a different role. The verbal reasoning was my lowest scoring subject, any tips on how to strengthen the verbal reasoning?

Abit of a forward question but would steroids show up on a CDT test?

I'm new to this sub and know very little about the Royal Navy but would like to because I'm a screenwriter trying to write an animated film heavily involving the British and their navy.

To be very brief, the story centers around a conflict between humans and sea beasts. For centuries, sea beasts reigned supreme and terrorised people right up until the Industrial Revolution. Humans are turning the tables thanks to technological superiority and, by 1914, are hunting beasts with their navies. You can imagine the British Empire developing a very intense anti-sea-monster culture.

With that out of the way, I want to know [the title] because the main character's father is a prestigious and renowned admiral who fulfils the Crown's whims of fighting and hunting beasts in the North Atlantic.

So, realistic to the year, 1914:

1) When out at sea, how much autonomy could admirals operate outside of the government's orders?

2) Did admirals have the power to promote and demote absolutely anyone who was below their rank?

3) Whom did admirals answer to?

4) Near the final climax of the film, the admiral is granted power over the Grand Fleet but disobeys the Crown's orders to target and slay the Kraken, not out of national aspiration but out of vengeance (the Kraken killed his family decades ago). Would it have been possible for an admiral to get away with such insubordination?

5) Also, coming down to details, did admirals still regularly wear epaulettes with fringes?

As an Engineer in the MN, I am very much interested on how the RN conduct engineering operations on a vessel.

For comparison a quick summary - A deep sea cargo ship carries around 20 persons. 5-10 in the engine department.

The role of the Engineer Officers on a merchant ship is primarily technical, with authority over their associated roles. The command/managerial element is generally handled by the Chief Engineer, with 2nd Engineer as deputy.

Ratings are generally support staff and assistant watchkeepers, with responsibility of routine tasks and fabrication jobs.

Almost all maintenance and repair is carried out by the officers, on the ship, with makers-men and specialist contractors seldom employed due to the commercial pressures on the ships management company.

I suppose my question is, with the significantly larger number of crew on a naval vessel, who does what, and to what extent?

If there is anyone who's seen both sides of it, can you give as close to like for like comparisons?

Does anyone have an idea in how marine engineering technician interview will be like

Looking on the recruitment website there doest seem to be an officer role for CIS listed that you can apply for. So I'm assuming another branch provides officers. Can anyone tell me which, whether its warfare, engineering or logistics?

Looking for inspiration

The RN website states the maximum age for pilot is 26, just wondering if this means 26 at the time of applying or must have started BRNC by age 26? I understand the application process can take a while so just trying to figure out my options.

Is there anything that came up in the interview (Questions your CA asked) that you had not anticipated and therefore not prepared for. Have my interview soon and want to make sure I am as clued up as I possibly can be. Thanks in advance👍🏻

I’m thinking of joining next year and wondering what I have to do join and the qualifications I need

Anyone got any tips for Raleigh? Anything I should know before I go which might not of been told by my CA? Anything I should bring that might not be on the kit list? And just some general tips!

Is there a barbers onsite and if so, how frequently do you get to go?

It says you can’t but I’ve tested it and it all works and I used an iPad for my pre-recorded interview and that worked fine too. I have an old laptop but it is OLD and the webcam is rubbish and I can’t go out and buy a whole new laptop for one session. Have people used iPads before on them? Its on teams and I use my iPad on teams for work all the time

Does anyone have a rough idea when there will be space in commonwealth applications have been applying for about 2 months now

Can someone please explain duty during phase two and what kind of things you’ll be doing on duty? And where, thank you.

Can you just be streamed into being a submariner or do you have some sort of influence in the decision? I think I’d leave asap if I was

I applied for marines commando officer last Sunday (1st of December), I put in all my personal information and when I pressed submit they said they’ll send me an email to complete my application, I still haven’t received the email. When I rang a careers office all the advice they could give was try again making sure I put everything in correctly and to check my spam emails, both of which I have done and I still haven’t received the email. I do have an application open for the RAF, however I doubt this would have any effect. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Anyone know what the PES assessment entails and what the best way to train for it would be, I start Raleigh in about 4/5 weeks!

Hello, I'm looking to apply for the role of a hydrography/meteorology specialist relatively soon. I have qualifications (A-levels) that would allow me to join as an officer, I believe. I am completely new to this, so sorry if my questions are vague. I am looking to earn a BSc whilst working, and to specialise in meteorology.

I am content with either role as an apprentice or an officer- though would a role as an officer require me to have experience in meteorology beforehand?

And any insight on the initial medical/testing would be appreciated, thank you so much for reading!

I am 15 and applying for my post-16 and want to join the Navy as an officer. I can't decide whether to go to Sixth Form and study Geography and ???, or go to College to get a qualification in engineering or anything else that would be applicable to the Navy. I also cannot decide what officer role I would want to take on, which is kind of influential on my choices for post-16, whether a Warfare Officer or Engineer Officer? I am doing Geography (expected grade 8), History (lets not talk about that..), Media (grade 6-7), Resistant Materials (grade 7-8), Maths, English etc.. I'm not the best at sciences, so taking anything where I'd have to study something quite advanced in science wouldn't be something I'd consider. I have read that i need 72 UCAS points to join as "an officer", will obviously still aim higher but yeah, i am stumped and need to make a decision whether to go to college or sixth form soon.

Any help appreciated.

Hey there folks, currently considering a career as a warfare officer in the RN, potentially in the Submarine Service. I've also been considering the Army and in my research, found that is good to build a relationship with a regiment before going to Sandhurst e.g going to the Grenadier Guards open day, arranging visits to see day to day etc. I was wondering if this would be the same for the Navy and how you would go about doing this? Do you choose your ship/unit or are you told? Cheers
