When did that happen?
I guess the surgery was a success then

Thanks for the welcomes.

Training is going well. Just trying to fit the training program given to me by my AFCO around my Job. Easier said than done at the moment. Thinking about reducing to part time hours.

I have my Recruit Test this Friday so fingers crossed and I should be fine.

Does anyone know what/if any documents the Navy will accept instead of a National Insurance Card?

Many Thanks,

Colin.

Psychometric Test: 06/06/08

You don't need the actual card (it's just there to remind you of your number, not an official document) , just the number, which should be on your payslip or P60.

Passed the Psychometric Test. I have to admit there was some maths I had never seen in my life!

Interview is on the 30/06/08 Really looking forward to it, it seams so much more real now! Revising the Corp information and getting my fitness tuned in. My estimated PRMC date is September if all goes well. Anyone else hoping to share the same month?

[sn0rlax]

well done for passing the test bud! Im currently going through application and its looking i may be on a PRMC in september too maybe?

[justin-T]

yes i am suppose to be going in sometime in september soon, congrats on passing all that you have so far, i am just coming up to my interview and it is in london, then im hopefully going to go further into it all and be in soon

[justin-T]

ok just had an phone call and i have my interview on the 17th June, i'm hoping to pass this, the person i spoke to said i should research some things, can anyone help me out here..?

[MrC]

It's basically everything thats in the book the provide. Things such as;

How 3cdo Brigade is made up, they generally only expect you to know the 3 Commando Units, perhaps FPGRM and were each is located.

Current and recent deployments (conflict and training deployments)

VC winners

Equipment and weapons used by the RM etc.

It's not too hard, a large bit of the interview will be about you, motivation, family etc. Good luck and welcome to the site.

[justin-T]

ok thanks a lot this will help me greatly, i wish to know more what the vc winners are. as i cant seem to find anything about it all.

[misterpurple]

Learn the Commando tests and times as well mate. Good luck.
