Just a quick question, do you get paid able rate wage when you've passed basic or when you've passed basic & trade training. Cheers.

Graduated with a 2:2 hins degree in Sports Science with Psychology in '05 & in all honesty it hasn't benefited me at all career wise. Spent years looking for jobs which my degree might help me with but with no success. Just passed selection for the fire brigade, I'm not saying having a degree didn't ...

That sounds promising & far more financially rewarding. Southampton was where I done my degree funnily enough (New College formally LSU - Archers Rd - some great memories!!!!!)

JCAP3,

If you going to do a degree I would seriously think about reconsidering your choice of course. I'm a Sports Science graduate of 5 years & have yet to find a career as a result of my degree & neither have many that I was studying with. We were even told by the head of dept. in our final ...

Hi o.j.m.,

I notice, from reading this thread, that you've been accepted into the fire service. I have also been accepted into my local fire service (South Wales). There are recruit courses timetabled for Sept & Jan, but I won't know until 2 months before, which course I'll be on & they've said ...

Not sure about UK law mate but over here you would definatley know if you've had a criminal conviction recorded against you. The judge or your lawyer would make it very clear to you that its been recorded. Over here speeding is not a criminal conviction.

Cheers pal, yeah, just found out it's a ...

Slightly off the subject here I know but I was wondering if any of you guys could help. I was caught speeding on a motorway a couple of years back & the case was dealt with by a court, although I did not have to attend, where I received £350 fine 4 penalty points. Would this class as a criminal ...

As i visit Arrse alot - REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, that makes me feel abit better. I'm not sure on the exact scores needed to be honest, but I think it has been mentioned before on one of the previous threads. Don't quote me, but if I'm not mistaken, I think the initial test is out of 120 & you need 80+, as I said I'm not 100%, and I'm not ...

Apologies OMSSMretd, if I had known it wasn't directed at me I would never have reacted in that way, so sorry about that. Alright Derrenfixxxer, I like you are very interested in the AET trade. I've actually done the initial written test because originally I was going to have a crack at RM. Since ...

Skimmer tw£t ??, not sure I follow pal. If you haven't got anything helpful to say, don't say anything at all.

I was wondering if you know anything about the Air Engineer Technician (AET) trade ??. I am keen to know if the promtional opportunities are actually as good as they make out on the RN website, as it says you can be selected for fast track promotion to petty officer within this trade & that even if ...

Congrats & all the best for your forthcoming RT

Awesome scores & 28 - fair play!!!!!!!!!!. That'll give alot of older people motivation to go for it, who may have been doubting themselves because of their age. Did the younger candidates treat you the same ?? & any other older candidates on your course ??
