I went through Raleigh as a skinny 16 yr old back in 1997. I found it hard at the time but the thought of letting my family down who were so proud of me kept me going until passing out successfully - my division won the honour to walk out as the guard of our passing out parade (Pellew div)! From there joined HMS Boxer on her final deployment 9 months in the Middle East & Far East. After that went on to more deployments one in the Caribbean was amazing. I look back on my naval career with a mixture of happiness, pride & character building. For all the people either thinking of or are about to join - make sure your fitness levels are as high as possible, take on a mature & respectful attitude as you will need plenty of these attributes and more going through your initial training. GOOD LUCK & ADVANCE BRITANNIA 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I remember the training for damage repair.... bloody cold and this was before all the Health and safety nonsense was around ..... the north Atlantic was not going to be kind, so neither were the trainers !! lol best decision ever. Took redundancy 7 tears later (Options for change) Biggest mistake (for the government) and joined the Fire Brigade and just retired !!! life has a path laid out for you ...... the first steps are the most important and you cant go wrong with the RN !!!

When you join the RFA you only do trade training there is no military training or ‘basic training’ you’ll go to Raleigh for a week to pick up kit, Id card and do health and safety before moving onto trade training. RFA are civilian, RN are military.

Yes, all people regardless of role have to be fit and healthy to join.. It should have said on the website your entry requirements.. If this scares you instead of motivates you, you might want to rethink your choices. Instead of saying “I’m not fit” and “do I have to do this” You should be saying “I’m not currently at this standard but will get myself to a good level”

I hate to say it, but the gravy's basic training looks a lot harder than what we done in the Royal Air Force, I went through in 1990 and it was nowhere as bad as this looked. The WOKE RAF would be even easier to pass out in 2024, breakfast in bed every morning. no shouting or swearing. I have even seen that they no longer have to do bed packs. A total shame in my eyes.

Are ye ready for this. I joined in August 1966 February 67,,,I accepted a discharge,,,services no longer required. I petitioned Capt white for two months, meeting him every Friday morning to request a discharge. He finally understood that a 16 yr old kid from Ireland could not live on £3 per week,. 17 year olds got £8.10 shilling a week. On my money I could not even keep my kit clean. Added to that was the chief petty officer responsible for class 946,,,he was a raving alcoholic,,,drunk 24/7. Capn White ,,,saw the light. If I was young again,,,I would join in a flash,,,the benefits now are super.
