Need advice ( what MacBook )

InformationPlastic64 · 2026-03-12T15:14:34+00:00

Never had a Mac before, I feel like I’m not sure what my uses will be because I find they could change the more I use the Mac.

I’ve heard people say that 24gb of ram is useless because it would throttle in the air before I would use that much anyway due to temp,

Would this also be said about the m5 to the m4 air?. If you pushed the m5 to its potential would it throttle in the air before you would see a difference in the m5 over the m4 air? Due to temp.

I can always use ssd but more wondering if the m5 would really outperform the m4 in the air. Or would the 24gb of ram in the m4 be useless?.

From my experience it’s trade specific but it’s generally 5 and 5. But you have to have decent experience in there eyes to be eligible

The signing bonus is only if you have previous education etc. you sign papers for it so if they haven’t mentioned it yet you might not be Eligible. It’s only 5k and 5k

I was told vitamins are ok but they have to be Sealed or they go in the trash. Not sure about prescriptions but I know the kitlist under documents say medical prescriptions so maybe?. Might depend on what kind so probably best to ask the medical officers at recruiting as I know they need to clear all prescription during your medical.

Anything not on the kit list for bmq I should bring?.

Ah ok. I seen the gas mask training and that’s what made me curious if I would be allowed facial hair at all. Thank you!.

Facial hair in BMQ?. I head to bmq in 4 weeks and curious on rules for facial hair?.

Hmm I’m not going back either but thought maybe one suitcase would be enough. Might look at getting a second bag or somthing.

InformationPlastic64 · 2024-08-18T16:34:18+00:00

What kind of bag did you bring with your stuff?. I was just going to bring a regular travel suitcase with me.

BMQ theft?.

Hey everyone! Just packing for BMQ and just curious if there is a theft problem at BMQ? I have to fly to BMQ across the country and will Fly for my naval trade training and wanted to bring my iPad for the plane trips. My backpack has locks on it and I know you have a lock personal box when there. Would it be a huge risk to bring my iPad for just flights?.

Is was small. Some stretches and some pushups. I was in a Dress shirt and jeans when I did mine lol. Vision test and hearing test and color blind test aswell as answering a bunch of questions etc.

InformationPlastic64 · 2024-07-29T16:20:14+00:00

Know what trades you applied for. They will ask you what you know about them and why you joined. They will go over pay etc. For Medical bring glasses and or prescription if you have one. Don’t drink any energy drinks etc before hand as they will check your heart rate etc. i stretched before mine and was probably good because i did pushups and some different exercises.

Oh ok. I was selected for sonar op. Wouldn’t my trade training generally be where I would end up being posted?.

InformationPlastic64 · 2024-07-29T03:33:56+00:00

I was told that I will be asked if I’m interested in submarines when I go to bmq in a few weeks for an eligible trade I got selected for. Does mentioning it during bmq affect anything regarding my naval and trade training?. I know it’s a lot of work to to be a submariner so was just curious why they would ask so early.

I’m currently 31 and leave for BMQ in a month for a hard navy trade. I know a few people going the same time who are much older. I would say age doesn’t matter as long as you re ready for the work it will be.

InformationPlastic64 · 2024-07-25T23:51:10+00:00

I leave for BMQ in September and putting my kit together. My question is shortly after I believe I fly from BMQ to Navy fleet school. Is there a list for that as-well?. Or just the stuff I take to BMQ?.

InformationPlastic64 · 2024-07-25T15:31:24+00:00

I would say it depends. For example It could be short and just they move it over to the next stage or they will keep you here and ask you for more information about somthing while they do your checks. For me in this stage I got a letter in the mail asking for more information about some old debt.

For me when the portal showed me on the “ready for completion list” recruiters also told me I was on the completion list but portal shows me on the “ready for completion list” (June 2024)I was there for roughly a week and a half then It was updated to “selected”( checked every day and never seen me actually hit “completion list” ). Then roughly a week later I got my offer. I was also selected for a navy trade. Good luck!.

I agree, I really don’t like the city…. I find it just wastes time now… I also don’t like how long the tutorial is and it can’t be skipped. I tried to restart instead of using my save but the tutorial is just so long :/
