Hi
I have a POC I June so I’m learning as much as I can about...well everything.
Anyway what I wanted to ask is whether you will be expected to have learnt the pennant numbers for the ships e.g. F99 -HMS Cornwall.
I realise this question could be a bit of a wah but I’ve got the time therefore I could learn them.
Anyway I would rather ask and look stupid here.
Any suggestions about what I should be learning about ships anyway?
Thanks

You sure it's the Corps you're joining, not the Boat Spotters Club?
Seriously, the Corps have little to do with naval vessels, although I've never done a POC I doubt you have to know anything more than the very basics about Bulwark, Albion and Ocean - in fact I'd be surprised if you have to know any more than their names and LPD/LPH.
Just waiting for someone to pop up and tell me I'm talking out me arse now...

By the time you pass out the Royal Navy will not have any ships,
So don't worry about it
Oh,
They may have one left.

I've done all that off by heart and was thinking, "its can't be that easy". I'm learning as much as i can because i've got the time and it can't hurt.druadan wrote: Seriously, the Corps have little to do with naval vessels, although I've never done a POC I doubt you have to know anything more than the very basics about Bulwark, Albion and Ocean - in fact I'd be surprised if you have to know any more than their names and LPD/LPH.
Perhaps it would seem a little on the nerdy side to know all of that.
Thanks anyway.

And again already done it. Thinking about it i am probably sorted when comes to ships. And that was the last thing i was thinking about so i guess i'm done. Just go to keep myself as fit as f@#k.
Looks like we'll be down at Lympstone at the same time jonno. If you have your PRMC on the 5th and i have my POC on the 4th.
No doubt we will be kept apart though. Shame, no chance for a natter.
Best of luck to you.
