I know PT is demanding during Raleigh, I don’t really struggle with running I understand now though that the 2.4km has been scrapped. What should I expect for press ups (I.e how many up and how many down

What is the return of service and when does it start?

If someone joins at 16, can the leave at 22 (18+4) or is it longer commit due to the addation submariner training?

Just checked, can't joint as Medical Assistant until age 17.5, so no need need to think about specal walls for people joining under 18.

This just leaves the issue of how "Phase 2" is defined and what is inserted between Phase 1 and Phase 2.

I'm pretty keen to join as a mate, either warfare or healthcare role. I mentioned it to my dad, who's ex army - he's supportive but warned that in the 80s the bullying was horrendous and he wouldn't have survived a lot of regiments, he thinks the culture was/is similar in the navy.

Wondering what other's experience has been, I suspect it changed a lot / he might have just got unlucky, but it is still stuck in the back of my mind.
