I keep thinkin... its making me think more and more about going for it.

The open sea, the life, the comradeship, the travel...

I've got the fitness and the education.

I could join the officer corp straight away.

What you think? Should I shut the **** up?

Im frightened i'll hit 40 and regret not going for it

go for it son then set sail straight for Argentina and start the Falklands part 2. Seriously though go for it, If you don't like it leave but better knowing than spending your older years regretting it

i think your right Dugg mate and i respect your view more than anybodys.

Maybe i should visit a careers advice bureau sometimes soon.

One thing though - you think i'll miss out on some of the piss ups if i'm joining the officers instead of the ratings?!

Out of all the armed forces the Navy is the best, there's no sea warfare anymore, so you're pretty safe, you travel the world, but I'm guessing you're away from home a lot more than you would be in the RAF, or just Army. The navy or the army is something I'm thinking about joining in the future, but I've got some ****ing about to do for a few years before I make a decision like that.

There is a roll in which i'd be the ships writer. Record logs, write important letters...reports, issue notices.

I may not type like a saint on here, but I have a high level of English, which I'd enjoy using. Failing that... i'd just enjoy being at sea.

That sounds pretty boring to me tbh. Writing? I guess there isn't much glamour with being in the navy. You would be surrounded by sea all the time which I can imagine would bore you to death after a few months.

Good luck though mate. :kiss:

:O ****. Now thats living. They said at the RAF career in Preston when I went there. They told me that you get paid as well to be in another country and flight pay on top of your wages hahah. Plenty of money to piss about with all over the world. Doing **** all. When ya signing up? Thats enough encouragement ya need. Better pay, all around the world, and easier work.

I meant boring job just writing **** up. But, rest would be awesome.

I think on the ship...most jobs would be boring. It's quite industrial. I like boats as sad as it sounds.

I don't know. In the morning, i'll talk myself out of it, as much as i've talked myself into it tonight.

Yeah it does sound a lot like that.

You would think in like 3 weeks when ya break up for summer. **** the navy and relax for 6 weeks lol. You should go to the careers place and tell them your intereste dand they will help you out loads and motivated me a lot. They are pretty sound as well not the like huge harsh people ya see on the flms.

Depends on what ship your on, If your put on a type 23 Frigate or above they all have gyms.

Do it mate. You will live your whole life regretting it. I know a few lads who have been in, or stil are in the forces. The places they have been, and strong friendships they have formed make me envious sometimes. If I could stand being away from booze I'd do it myself.

Sign up pal, and good luck.
