Go for it mate!
Keep pushing in basic and keep a smile on your face.
Do they still do the Dartmoor exercise finishing a the Plume of Feathers pub?

Best thing about the navy is the opportunity. I had my "papers raised" for officer candidate (upper yardman) at Raleigh, and subsequently was only a junior rate for two years before walking through the gates at BRNC for officer basic. So it can be done if you work for it.
Good luck mate.

They do the Dartmoor exercise still, not sure about what goes on there as it's in week seven.

Training going well. Very tiring though and physically/mentally very tough, I've already lost a fair bit of weight and I'm getting fitter. I can't belive how fast time is flying by. The days are long but the week goes so quickly! Weekends are spent catching up with kit and on Sunday morning we go to church. Good and bad days, lot's of admin and powerpoint presentations in the first couple of weeks. I get homesick now and again, especially when you see people who are with their families passing out, but think I made the right choice. About to go into week three.
