Thanks pal this will please the wife!

Thanks for the reply matey. Tis true I am a busy little bee at the mo, hopefully this means I get a big chunk of stuff out of the way then have an enjoyable few years before we decide on extending the family!

Wifey is going to love it if I don't at least get the wekends off but hey ho we must all ...

How often will I get to go home during my phase 2 training? I have been accepted as an AET and understand that the 8 weeks basic is pretty much 24/7 but what about phase 2? Will I get weekends free whilst at HMS Sultan or even get to go home in the evenings?

I ask not because I am worried about not ...

yeah but define obese. If you use the BMI system then most of the England rugby team would be classed as obese so thats hardly a fair test of fitness.

Well my tests and interview are all done now. I passed my interview with flying colours and scored 110 on the aptitude test.

My medical is coming next.....

Worried i might get told to bugger off and lose some weight.

Any advice on crash dieting?

read the f***ing questions?

Any idea if the medical and interview are on the same day as the tests normally or fo the come later?

Yeah it is interesting. Might be that the recruiter has certain quotas to push through for certain ratings so he's trying to streamline you into the ones which need the most manpower, doubt it though. If you find out nationality requirements have changed in regards to especially sub ratings give me ...

Thats very interesting, the nationality requirements I have been given are completely different to those, I shall have to speak to the careers advisor when I go for my aptitude test as my origional 2 choices were CT and WE Tiff Submariner but was told that due to my duel nationality I couldnt apply ...

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 ...

AET Taff? Thats what I put as my first choice on my application. So you never know we may train together.

I got my date through today, March 24th for my testing.

Try the mensa website or any IQ measuring website. Also try practicing logic puzzles and other such things such as Su Doku. Logic puzzle books can be bought from Waterstones and other good bookshops.

Just a quick question here. Is it pssible to represent the Armed forces in Martial Arts competitions? I know that there are Ship boxing teams and inter service Rugby but can an individual represent the aervices at a less traditional sport such as Karate, Judo or freestyle wrestling?

Bumcakes!

Oh well I'm hapy to do my bit no matter the job.





Then again I intend on impressing so much at my interveiw/aptitude that they will have no choice to put me in as an Admiral!

No problem mate, if anything you sure showed passion for the job!
