specific, the Royal military sponsor some applicants to earn a level, yet once you flunk or fail they're going to ask for the investment returned. existence interior the army (for me besides!) is a sturdy one, is is amazingly annoying paintings, yet on a similar time very useful, I spent 22 years as an Officer and reached the rank of Commander in basic terms in the previous retirement. The RN is a existence selection, you will meet multiple new and different human beings. consistent with the place your deployment is afects what the day after day existence is like. I spent 8 years onboard a minesweeper with a collection of 36, and it replaced right into a lighter ecosystem. the guidance is annoying, and so are the AIBs ( Admiralty Interview boards) they're going to look into wether or not you're RN officer cloth. in case you desire greater suggestion in this and so on PM or email me. to furnish you reliable floor for transforming into a member of the RN and finding out greater with reference to the existence, connect your community Sea Cadet unit.

I received a very comprehensive letter from the Ministry of Defence back in 1986 when I enquired about my father's career in the Royal Navy.
I had no idea when he went in nor when he finished.
The letter gave me full details of his date of birth (which I knew) where he was born, his date of joining 7th Feb 1922 and his service number.
They also gave me details of all the ships on which he served, where they were bound and dates of voyages.
The address of the MOD at that time was
Ministry of Defence CS[R] 2a
Bourne Avenue, Hayes, Middlesex. UB3 1RF Tel: 01-573 3831 Ext. 341. The gentleman who sent me the letter was D. Roberts, for Departmental Record Officer (Archives)
