New career!
#1
So, tomorrow marks the start of a new career for me!

I'm joining the Royal Navy as a submariner marine engineer. This has all come about to fast and I cannot believe I'm about to start phase 1 tomorrow.

I'm genuinely really excited, but nervous as hell!

Beats my old job in retail massively though.

I guess the main point of this post is if anyone has done the same or can offer some advice for me, it'd really help Smile

Well done, I did the same with the Army many years ago, training is hard but I enjoyed it :-) Only advice I can offer is stick at it even when things get really tough. All about team work.

Quite a few people have said phase 1 is really hard and to just keep your head down, but on the contrast people have said it's a good laugh and nowhere near as bad as everyone makes out, I guess I'll work that one out for myself.

My uncle was a submariner and loved it by all accounts. Yes, there are bound to be tough times going through training but once you're done it should be great.

All the best.

It's all perceptive though Callum...for example, what I might find really difficult, you might find a good laugh! No point worrying about what it might be like from other peoples experiences - wait till you're there and make your own decision. Good luck. Smile
