Royal Navy Questions

Post by Geordie_Navy »

Alright, just registered on this forum this evening and have a few questions regarding entry into the Royal Navy.

I have visited my careers office and spoke briefly about joining up as a CIS(communication, information specialist) and they mentioned the requirements for joining etc.

I am interested in joining for the simple fact of making a difference and being able to travel the world.

My first question relates to the humanitarian side. I know the royal navy helped out alot during the time of various hurricanes in the Caribbean and was wondering what would be a good trade in the navy if i wanted to help with disaster relief etc?

I guess all personnel would be called upon when visiting a port.

Also, in your opinion, what is the best trade in the navy?

hope you guys/ladies can help

cheers

Hello canny lad - I noticed your 'bum p'

How did you get past that Royal Marine Recruiter then ?

He got me - 1956 - that's when Gateshead still had a football team !

Someone will be by to help out on your questions -

I reckon that the best job is Admiral

And - in my day the majority of disasters were CAUSED by the Navy . . .

take care,
Trog

Geordie try this site: http://www.navy-net.co.uk/cpgn2/index.php?prevtheme=RN

You should get a better/quicker response on there as it's a site mainly for serving Navy bods.

as a person onboard say a frigate in the carribean islands offering distaster releif for the islands, you will most probably get stuck in whatever job your doing onboard there only 180 people on a frigate so you could be part of the heavy lifting team, first aid team, pumping an flooding...the list is endless mate last distaster excerise i did i was part of the boats crew ferrying ships crew and stores ashore forthe relief effort.

hope that helps

I'm William, I just wanted to ask...I keep hearing the Royal Navy is majorly downsizing...? Is it true, because I thought the RN was getting brand new Ships etc...

The Navy is getting new ships, however, they wont be getting the same number of hulls as we have today.
