@@elliottmargerion9607 Yeah its a great decision I've been in for about 6 months now, about half way through my phase 2 i would recommend to anyone to join just make sure you join the right branch for you. unfortunately i think because of covid there is going to be a much slower recruitment process as so many more people are going to want to join from losing there jobs and the process it self is very slow, took me about 11 months to start basic training after signing up but keep at it im sure you'll get in.
I failed my interview today. But I’m only 15 (16 in a month) so I’ve got loads of time to do college and then re-apply. Being an Air Engineering Technician is still the job I’m going for and I’m just going to keep trying. If you’re not accepted the first time and you still want to do it afterwards just go for it. That’s the best advice I can give.
@@estoyvolviendo3511 I’m now in the RAF haha wow completely forgot about this. Just completed my basic training in the RAF. I failed in the Navy because of my lack of preparation for the interview but I’m glad as it wasn’t entirely for me. But my advice still stands so go for it.
I have a long lineage of military with my dad in the navy grandad in the army further back idk besides they were militant I get consistent A’s and am in a program getting in to St. Andrews uni and it’s looking extremely plausible but I think maybe after uni I’ll join some kind of military my dad was navy and loved it so this is the first one I think of and it’s becoming a plan rather than an option
Thank you so much this is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve got my tests coming up soon. A bit worried but hopefully I’ll smash it. I’m getting a bit old now so I need to serve my country before it’s too late for me
You forgot to mention The Initiation ceremony as a jnr In 1979 I was a new entry recruit at the age of 15 welcomed by boots in a pillow case and bars of soap In a sock during my first night .......Did not like that one bit until I found out the following week I got to run downstairs and and do the same thing to the following new recruits lol
Kinda late comment but, my eyesight is normal with glasses but without them its really shit. Would I be able to become a Warfare Specialist, or would I fail the medical?
Good video. It says the role I'm applying for is upto the age of 39. Will I be thrown out after I'm 39. Currently im contemplating it. I'm 28 now but I wanted to stay in as long as possible.
No, it means you need to attend training by the age of 39, for example, RAF & Navy Pilot you need to attend training before your 25th birthday as you learn easier from a younger age. You will see pilots a lot older than 25! The short answer to your question, no you won't be 'thrown out' at 39.
I’m pretty sure you can, as long as they’re making your vision 100%. I need glasses for long distance but I’m applying for the navy soon. Thinking of getting the LASIK surgery, it sounds quite practical.
How was or how is CIS as that’s what I’ve applied for I liked the sound of the variety of different communications to do but I would love to hear from someone who is actually CIS
Im CIS well kinda, im in Phase 2 ATM becoming a CIS and so far its been great there are two different types of CIS there is SPEC and TECH unfortunately you don't get to pick and because there is such a shortage of SPECs at the moment you'll most likely be a SPEC.
What tips could you give me to pass my 1.5 mile run. I got my NSRT on Monday and hopefully will pass. I should do getting 50 percent on everything will improve will spend all day remembering the answers. How long will it be before I go to HMS Raleigh
Hey man, recently passed my pjft. I definitely recommend running/jogging as often as possible, road or treadmill is fine. When completing the test on treadmill, I personally ran set speeds until certain distances (e.g 10mph until 1st mile, then 11mph until 1.25mile). Also, dont try and run fast to begin with as you’ll tire yourself. Hope this helps and good luck! ⚓️
I enjoyed this till the crap at the end about wearing Ann Summers underwear.... the suppressed giggle showed a very childish and immature individual, HMS Raliegh training is supposed to eradicate that type of behaviour, seems to have failed with this one! Hope he's grown up a bit since this video was uploaded.
When I joined The Royal Navy In 1979 the Basic Training Period was Initiated to break you ....then mould you Into what The Navy wants .....I was shocked at the ann summers bit .....what we did for recreation was kick the hell out of the Tiffs from HMS Fisgard across the road from HMS Raliegh at Diamond Lill's Night Club on Union Street lol
Lost my job cos of Covid, I’m 17 and I have nothing going for me at all, I’ve decided I’m gonna stop feeling sorry for my self and sign up
Mate i'm 26 and in the same position, Good luck if you do!
I'm 28 and going for pilot. 1 in a million chance I know but fingers crossed. Good luck lads
I’ve just applied to hope you all pass the application process

When you cant swim lol
Great video, really needed this inspiration.
I have my recruitment test in 6 days, but the fitness test is what I've been worrying about.
Fitness test is easy. Don’t worry
How did it go? And how long does it take from Raleigh to actually starting your job on the ship preferably as a marine engineer?
Leoisirrelevant u pass

I’ve currently split with my mrs that I had been going out with for all most five years signing up to do her proud and to make my self a better person
Aw that’s sweet
Dont do it for anyone other than yourself Harry. Good luck in your application. I served 20 years and miss it.

Good man Jamie well done
Waiting for face to face medical taking a long time passed everything
You got an entry date yet?

Can you still join the royal navy if you have glasses?
You can and you can't it depends on the strength of the glasses the only way to find out is to go and ask or find out at the medical
I’m pretty sure you can, as long as they’re making your vision 100%. I need glasses for long distance but I’m applying for the navy soon. Thinking of getting the LASIK surgery, it sounds quite practical.
What position/branch do you initially apply for?
Great video
I have hearing aids does that effect the hearing test
You will not pass the medical.
How was or how is CIS as that’s what I’ve applied for I liked the sound of the variety of different communications to do but I would love to hear from someone who is actually CIS
I want to do the same role
Tommy Brookes I’m currently going through the joining process awaiting to do my medical examination how about yourself
Darren McCulloch I’m currently still 15 but I can apply in September
Im CIS well kinda, im in Phase 2 ATM becoming a CIS and so far its been great there are two different types of CIS there is SPEC and TECH unfortunately you don't get to pick and because there is such a shortage of SPECs at the moment you'll most likely be a SPEC.
@@GoujonBoy what does a SPEC do differently to a TECH?
Good luck fella
What’s with the echo?
Are you still in the navy now ?
