Can't really help with your eye test mate. Either you'll pass or you wont, it's as simple as that, so there's no point worrying too much.

As for the interview, just relax and be yourself. Answer the questions honestly, play up any sporting achievements(they love that) and tell them you've done some manual work or diy before. Make out you're pretty independent and you'll be fine. It also helps if you know things like how long your 1st phase training is going to be(9 weeks for you), what your pvr options are and how long 2nd phase is going to be in your trade. Basic stuff really.

Like ReadyEddie says, the questions are all basic and easy enough to answer. They asked me about some of the different ships in the surface fleet and there roles. Family and social circles is another area that gets covered but again, nothing to worry about.

My eye site is quite poor and I also wear contact lenses all the time. I made the 3rd of the 3 standards and that was enough to get me the branch I was after (Marine Engineering). You can wear lenses when your in but are required to have a pair of glasses as well.
