Alrite mate,
You have made the right choice. Use the search tool in the top left and you should get everything you need. As for the 32 weeks it is pure hell or so i have heard.
good luck

Also if you check out the offical website by clickling on the royal navy logo at the bottom of every page you should get some good information from there. Sorry about the double post my computer is crap.

1) Punctuation: Makes your posts a lot easier to read - more likely to get answers.
2) Search Button: Wealth of info available. Most questions (not all) have been asked before.
3) Stickys at the top of the forum: PRMC Diary by Gipper stands out but they are all really useful.
Hope your application goes well.
MM (Tom, also 16

More like around 37 weeks because of the 3 weeks off in the summer and the 2 weeks off at xmas. All paid. How great is that!

Well I posted for an information pack and they rang me the next day! Now thats what I call service. They have now arranged for me to come down and watch some videos on the 15th of June in Newcastle. I think they will be very pro RM and biased but alot will still be truth, and just good to watch.
Little things like this, set the navy away from the army in my estimations. Even the website is better.
Please do not take this as a flame, just my opinion at the minute.
