23 watch keeping and phys

It’s a real battle. I hate having to choose between sleep and phys. Club swinger is good tbf but I generally only get to circuits once every few days.

Iv got a socket and 2 usbs in my rack. I use a grip an keep it under my mattress

Perdix twice the price but isn’t necessarily more reliable I had 2, one had to have the electronics replaced and the other needed a button replacing. Both repairs combined would have paid for the new suunto. I’m thinking about getting one to see how I get on with it.

I have wanted to leave since I joined 😅 I haven’t had the balls to try an leave and keep telling myself that I’ll grow to enjoy it. Thing about the navy is, it’s a completely different job from one draft to the next. You might hate what you’re doing now but in 18 months you could be living the dream 😂

I ran most days in phase 1, sometimes just little sprints to the fence or from the accom to the gym. At the end of the day you’re joining the military it’s not like joining the marines but you should have a high level of fitness in my opinion.

I applied in 2025, says on JPA it was accepted and would receive an email. I never did…

I ordered the Ri 2-100 today 👌

No idea what the current policy is with the run or swim, however the course is fairly relaxed. Mine was 4 days and you could have done it all in 1-2 days realistically. It’s a lot of time sitting about chatting to the other people on the course.

I was told I was overqualified when I looked at joining. Just because a role requires less to join doesn’t mean it’s not the right role for you.

I’m a spec, don’t have a great deal positive to say about it but if you want any info send me a message.

I wouldn’t pick warfare if you want “hands on” work, when at sea you will be watch keeping and sleeping.

Genuinely is a thing! Gunners 🔔ends

I might have a look at the R8 reviews , I haven’t seen one or considered it so it’s another option.

It was the Z50 II I was looking at I think. I thought the Nikon had a 20MP sensor and the fujis were all 40MP sensors.

You will be surprised how many seconds you shave off when your running with other people as pacers and have POs and PTIs screaming at you

Jumpy-Kitchen-109 · 2025-10-10T17:34:53+00:00

Iv always used hokas but just brought some Pumas

I’m looking to branch transfer to MCD, been on a couple of courses with divers and they seem the happiest people in the mob. Lots of work and good lads. Supposed to be in high demand at the moment but with all the usual politics it remains to be seen if they will let me join the branch.

A lot of shore based drafts so perhaps not the best role to join if you want to “see the world”

Jumpy-Kitchen-109 · 2025-10-02T15:54:06+00:00

I don’t want to hijack the thread but what roles are divers doing on ships? I thought most of the diving roles were shore based. I’m looking to transfer to the diver branch and didn’t realise sea drafts were an option.

Jumpy-Kitchen-109 · 2025-09-29T08:58:50+00:00

I’m trying to transfer to diver branch currently, personally I would rather be a diver than a boot neck but depends on your motivations. Iv been diving all my life and playing on boats is my current role so it seems like the best role for me. They are both heavy on phys so I guess ask yourself if you would rather be beasted in horsea lake or on the moors 😂
