Heya folks....

[OliCad]

Hi there people. I'm Oliver and I'm living at present in Dundee, Scotland. I've been unemployed since Xmas 2002 through my own choice and I now want to join the Royal Navy for a few reasons.

I have a one year old daughter that I want to have a decent start in life be it with an absent father with me away at sea. But I guess it's part of the price to pay.

I hope that I can pass the first 3 weeks of the initial training cos I guess that's the make or break period! If I make it to the interview at week three with a positive attitude, then that'll be me happy for a fair few years.

Anyway, I look forward to possibly seeing some of you guys around.

Oliver.

Welcome OliCad

So what job do you wish to take up in the Navy ?

[OliCad]

I wanted submariners but as I'm not too keen on the looks of the Dive Tank, and I didn't have good enuff qualifications, I'm doing Operator Mechanic - Comms.
Somewhere along the lines of Muppet!

I'm goin in to the navy to start my basic on the 8th of september. Going in as an artificer....

Cant wait, you are right about the week three thing, if I make it to there I will be ok.

There's an interview in week three where you get asked if you're happy and I fifgure that if I've managed to keep up to speed (excuse the pun) then I'll feel ok and not get any probs. But I think I gotta get used to being told what to do! That'll be one of my biggest weaknesses.
