Wish I'd applied during my service. Spent 20 years as a skimmer. I think showing people around whilst they are in basic training might help recruit submariners and eliminate any concerns they may have.

Remember Lads and Ladies there are only two types of subs in The Royal Navy those that can evade surface ships and those that get sunk by surface ships :D

Meanwhile the Kriegsmarine losing 783 submarines during the Battle of the Atlantic

@@Vodaph0ne Wrong, in the Royal Navy there are "Boats" and Targets, submarines have always been boats for at least the last 80 years and from 1953 I know as I spent a day in a boat at sea in the Med, the boat was HMS Trenchant a T Class sub. I was 10 years old and my brother who was 13 went the day before me. Trenchant was tied up along side HMS Forth in Malta at the time and our father was CPO on the boat. 😀

@@Bawdsey64 lol obviously it's right as I was talking about the stealth of submarines

@@Bawdsey64 Sounds like you have a very cool naval history

Update its all good intake for the 4th anyone else on that one here z

@@williamloftus5830 I was meant to go in the 20th July a few months ago and would've passed out last week but my medical failed since my father's heart condition

@@itwiistaa8375 awww yeah thats so crap. What role did you apply for

Not doubt you’ll be taxed on that by about 4K tho

@@seanjohn5236 you dont get taxed on the 5k it there to give you incentive to join so it tax free

I was thinking the very same thing bro, when I was on Boats our pay was run out by week three and the only way u could afford a beer on Jollies was when the Can man or Coxswain handed you some subbies.

@vonster ward Yep no Pussers for this new generation of Mariners.

@@scotty193 really, I spent a good half hour trying to find if that tradition had been quashed...bit of a shame

Past the point of caring. He’s getting paid a shit load so fuck looking ally no one on civvi side gives a shit.

@Chris M Best of luck with your application and thanks for giving great advice - you beat us to it!

Open days at the moment are less likely due to COVID-19, but if you follow us on Facebook and check out the Events section we will be hosting virtual events in the near future that will give you more information about joining, HMS Raleigh, and you get the chance to ask any questions you have.

@@RoyalNavyRecruitment thanks

Think there is an undergraduate scheme ..allowing you to join up as a leading hand on the Vboat subs ....which is just crazy ....

Hi Connor, there are some roles in the Submarine Service which don't require any qualifications, and some which have A-Level/college or degree requirements. Best thing to do if you're interested is take a look at our Role Finder: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/role-finder If you're interested in the Submarine Service, apply the filter under 'Division' and you'll be shown all our submariner roles at a glance as well as the qualifications you need for each.

T boat rating here, I treasure my Dolphin's, I worked damn hard to earn them. Some of the best years of my young life were spent nowhere, doing nothing 🤣.

My uncle was a submariner on the P&O classes Fred niblett when he left he was a chief

@@xxinfamyyyxx Your comment "Nowhere doing nothing" is very apt. Maybe the Ministry of Defence will release the details of the missions and surveillances we did undercover one day. I think people would be very surprised. Best wishes Joe.

@@timebandit9469 I don't really see that happening but something are in the public domain that shed some light on what we did. It's part of the mystery of the silent service coming home and denying going anywhere. We knew what we did and were proud of what we accomplished.

How did you get on?

No

@@harrisonkey698 I hope the heads are well heated. Too much cold makes for a sick crew.

@@myeflatley1150 I watched a documentary on a submarine. Within days of their journey all 7 toilets on board broke down for 5 hours. Also when you are on a sub, you dont leave until the journey is over unless you have to evac for either medical or mechanical reasons

You could stand in the tunnel when the reactor is at full power if you like. Not so much as being steamed like in a sauna, consider it like being microwaved!!
