Greetings Scouse.

Have 'done the boards' so to speak.

Normally a panel of 4 to 5, with one ossifer in charge.

Depends on what you are applying for, but normal routine is to ask about where you have served, what are you doing now etc. Then questions 'out of the blue' to see if you can think on your feet, what your opinions are on a variety of subjects. They are basically looking to see if you are a 'good egg'.

As for tips, the normal stuff - look them in the eye, be honest and don't undersell yourself - good luck.
