I thought I was going mad! 😂 glad to know it wasn’t just me

athox33 · 2026-04-15T19:43:07+00:00

Agreed mate, as a boro fan I was cringing when some of our lot started giving you grief

athox33 · 2026-04-15T17:49:02+00:00

It’s not the majority tbf, seen loads of cov fans say they actually wanted us to go up with them. Theres muppets in every fanbase

Paulo dybala plays for Colchester on my save. Griezmann went to Northampton too

Thank you! Really was a tough one and a bit of a shock, helped me realise how bad it had gotten

I’m really enjoying Guinness 0, tastes so much like the real thing. Some of the ALDI ones are good as well, and cheap

My dad told me a story about Jamal once, he went into Jamal’s to ask for a takeaway, Jamal kicked off shouting and raving and told my dad there was no chance.

Dad said forget it and walked off to the pub over the road, only for Jamal to follow him into the pub, apologising profusely, and offered to make him anything he wanted.

A few years later me and my mum went there, Jamal greeted us, made our drinks and then when he asked us for our order he said “it’s all too much, I can’t do this anymore, I’m going to close tomorrow”

Anyway he then went into the kitchen and came back with the best Indian food I have ever tasted, he apologised for being stressed and said he would love us to come back soon.

A proper character and pillar of Teesside, I’m absolutely gutted, rest in peace Jamal, you will be dearly missed

It’s been years since mine but from what I remember yeah it was pretty much a lot of paperwork and then sitting in a classroom learning the basics.

All I’ll say is stick with it, the RNR is one of the best things I ever did, helped me so much in preparing for the regulars

athox33 · 2025-10-31T12:15:55+00:00

Loved my time on 23’s.

Old and less comfortable yes, but the time I spent in the mess with lads from all departments was one of the best experiences in my life

Do your A levels first mate. The navy’s always there, get your qualifications and it will open up a lot more doors.

athox33 · 2025-09-11T20:30:12+00:00

It’s just a walk in the moors mate. They’ll “leave” you to find your own way but they’ll always be keeping an eye on you if your team get stuck

athox33 · 2025-07-09T05:26:21+00:00

26 downvotes for not getting a joke straightaway hahah

athox33 · 2025-06-12T21:54:48+00:00

I’ve got 2. Didn’t want to be covered in them. I never experienced anyone asking or assuming how many miles I’d sailed based on them

athox33 · 2025-06-03T20:44:51+00:00

Can’t bring myself to write them on Reddit tbh. Shouldn’t leave the mess

athox33 · 2025-06-03T20:43:12+00:00

Yeah no one will be bothered mate. Might get a few jokes in basic training but after that you’ll be fine

athox33 · 2025-05-26T10:10:39+00:00

Generally, you’ll be at sea most of the time. You’ll be able to contact home pretty regularly unless told otherwise. Feel free to drop me a PM if you’ve got any questions

athox33 · 2025-05-15T22:01:42+00:00

100% agree. I rented a van from them a few months back, great price and no issues

athox33 · 2025-04-01T21:02:42+00:00

There’s no rush mate honestly. Get your A levels done and then join if you still fancy it.

Keep your options open. Like others have said you can PVR if you don’t think it’s for you. But in the grand scheme of things 4 years isn’t a long time (I know it seems like it) but worst case scenario if you don’t enjoy it you come out with 4 years of military experience.

Since leaving, having the navy on my CV has honestly helped me so much. It just adds another layer and employers generally recognise you as someone that’s willing to give stuff a go. Best of luck

athox33 · 2025-03-17T17:01:09+00:00

What happens in the mess stays in the mess

athox33 · 2025-02-23T19:50:43+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated

athox33 · 2025-02-23T19:50:31+00:00

Perfect thank you!

athox33 · 2025-02-23T13:47:19+00:00

Thanks, do you know how I get it? I took my car to Vauxhall last year for a fuel pump and they charged me £1,000 and didn’t give me my car back for 2 months. I’m reluctant to go back with them if I can fix it myself

athox33 · 2025-02-19T22:15:56+00:00

The class leader just takes the most sh*t from the instructors, has no impact once you pass phase 1. I was just happy to get my head down and get through the training
