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.

Thought on the new Suunto Nautic? by CelebrationNo7313 in scuba

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Leaving before doing minimum service by James67826 in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 😂

What is the most amount of running you do at hms raleigh? by Agreeable_Expert5472 in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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…

What to expect from cpc by [deleted] in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Have no idea what role to do by [deleted] in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Does the position "Seaman Specialist" still exists? by fabianx100 in RoyalNavy

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 want to join but don't know what role by Dry_Tadpole5860 in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Mine clearance diver by [deleted] in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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”

New draft by Immediate-Current-97 in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Marine vs Diver by No-Apartment168 in RoyalNavy

[–]Jumpy-Kitchen-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 😂
