Hi I'd like to thank all service personnel for the works you do and for the sacrifices you ansd your families make, I am nothing but a military enthusiast but support you fully. I've come across a rather good book on the Gulf War which tells the real story behind Bravo Two Zero. I'm selling this boo...

Hi I'm new to this forum, I was wondering about the modern Royal Navy, what is the time between signing up and actually getting onto a vessel for duty? How much of naval life in general is spent on a vessel, I presume the navy has widened its remit with helicopters and onshore departments.

Thanks.
