Sorry I obviously have caused offence where none was intended. It doesn't sound like you will have a problem with the entry tests. Best of luck.

I'm not wanting to be rude mate, but if you really are serious about joining the navy you need to start making a bit more of an effort. When you went to the AFCO they must have given you a booklet with all the different trades/jobs in. When you go for interview you will be expected to have learnt ...

I can tell you that comms tech is one of the highest percentage requirements - think its 85 or 90%. You need to ask the AFCO they give you the info if you ask the right questions! Not sure that they would lower the requirement for the subs - just means they would be more likely to pass you through ...

Sorry slightly off topic but I am going for my entry test in a few weeks and getting a bit worried. My mate failed the aptitude test and he said he found it hard. How did you guys find it? How gruelling was the interview?

sorry in wrong group!!
