Royal Navy waiting list
Discussion
Remember, it's a 5 part interview that will feel more like an interrogation! 
Parts 1 - 4 are essentially all about you ie; Who are you/where are you from/schooling and education/favourite and worst subjects/proudest and least proud moments of your life/postions of responsibility and so on.
Part 5. Your job, and the wider Navy.
Basic Training - Where and How Long?
Specialist Training - Where and How Long?
Types of ship you can expect to serve on?
Naval Bases (not many left)
How Long is your contract?
Fitness regime at the moment?
How will you cope with seperation from family?
Financial responsibility.
Those lists are only an idea of what you may be asked, but they should help.
Remember to turn up in a suit and in good time, phone the office if you are likely to be late, it is always appreciated.
And good luck!

Thanks. I only have GCSE's, so hopefully that won't go against me. However I don't need other qualifications for the role I'm trying out for. I've been revising the RN like a bugger for weeks!Parts 1 - 4 are essentially all about you ie; Who are you/where are you from/schooling and education/favourite and worst subjects/proudest and least proud moments of your life/postions of responsibility and so on.

A colleague passed his fitness a few weeks ago, thinks he'll be in by the end of the year. I'm not sure what area he's applied for.
What are his chances ,all things being equal? (Not great by the sound of previous posts!~)
Depends entirely on what job he's going for tbh.What are his chances ,all things being equal? (Not great by the sound of previous posts!~)

Remember, most jobs in the RN don't require any formal quals, yours included. Even the engineering trades don't require them, just the ability to score well at the RT and to do well in training.

Good on yer mate. Take your time with the Security Check to make sure it's done properly. It'll take around 3 months to go through, thanks to the marvellous efficiency of the Defence Vetting Agency
Thanks, did it all tonight. Man that was a lot of questions! Now just a waiting game I guess.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
