  • Secretly patrolling the world's seas. And keeping an eye on ships and other submarines.
    As a submariner you will be living and working in an extraordinary, covert environment. Where you'll be part of a close-knit community where lives literally depend on your ability to work as part of a team, safely and with great attention to detail.

    This is the closest thing I have to an unfulfilled ambition. I tried to join as an officer out of uni but didn’t make the cut (I think I would now I’m older and more experienced) and I was too proud after that failure to join as a rating. Twenty years later I wish I’d had the self-confidence to brush that off and gone in at the bottom, esp now I’ve seen another friend of mine pass out at Dartmouth after doing 15 years as a rating first. Oh well. All of life is a story of regrets.

    themostintelligent1 That stems from simple numbers. The Royal Navy will soon only have seven subs, all of the Astute class. Superb boats, truly next-generation, with the captains and crews to handle them well. Only seven boats though. They *have* to do the business *every time*. That's why the Captain and crew are recruited and trained to the exacting standards that they are. There was a good documentary on British TV about 4 years ago, showing part of the Perisher course, and a USN Officer was taking part, alongside four RN Officers. The American passed, in the end, one of the British didn't, and was sent packing. The Perisher is a very, very harsh school.

    Living next to the training range for British and other NATO underwater weapons means I grew up watching submarines cruising past my home and tying up on the pier 30 seconds from my house. I never gave it a thought about how amazing they were until I was a teen and went to work at BUTEC in Kyle of Lochalsh….my home. As a female born in the late 70s, I wouldn’t have been allowed to serve on one and as it was, Wrens were only just being allowed to go to sea when I considered joining the RN. My job meant that even as a shy 17 year old I was lucky enough to get to go for jollies on minesweepers, (Sandown Class were here for showing off to the Saudi navy), Seaking helicopters and plenty of RMAS vessels. I never got the chance to go to sea for a day on a sub though and I understand why etc, but I wish I could’ve. I felt terrible for the poor crew of HMS Astute when it grounded at Kyleakin. I was driving into Kyle that morning and thought I was tripping balls……but plenty of other vessels have ended up caught on hidden sandbars round here and it’s got some terribly fast racing currents, so it’s easy done I guess. The amount of people who came up from down south with tv cameras and made such a fuss made me feel terrible for the crew.

      I'll be honest, if I had my time again, I'd go that route too. However, as a lad, I had my head too far up my own backside to realise it was an option, so I say go for it. We had a next-door neighbour when I was growing up, he was a CPO on Boats, always spoke highly of the life. Only downside being that if you are married or have other strong commitments onshore, it can be a real strain. Many Submariners end up getting divorced. For a young person with no real ties though? A great start to a career. Decent money, and not much chance to spend it while you're at sea.

      Not as bad as you think mate, an engineering technician gets paid £23000 a year at the start, not much but they also get paid £1200 for each month their on patrol on top of the £23000, which incidentally can increase to around £80000 a year as you progress. Combine that with the fact that your not paying for food, utilities mortgage (or rent) for around 25-50% of the year when your submerged, I’d say it’s actually pretty decent all things considered
      EDIT:
      I’ve run the numbers, accounting for tax and assuming that you get paid the minimum £23,000 per year with the 1200 extra per month on patrol with a patrol of 6 months you’d earn £30200 gross, factoring in tax you’d get a take home pay of £24558 per year, current average living costs in the UK accounting for average rent is £1519 per month (you only pay this for 6 months) this give a final amount of £15444 to play around with after tax and after living costs. That’s a hell of a lot, I know I’ve made some erroneous assumptions to make these calculations, mainly that the money is all there so to speak but I’d say it’s a pretty good estimate
