WHOLE ANSWER
What do you understand about the training you will undergo?
Starting at BRNC with basic training for 30wks. First half is militarisation with ABLE assessment. Upon completion the second half is marinisation with a 3 week initial sea acquaint and culminates in the big maritime assessed leadership exercise on the river Dart. After passing MARL i will pass out before returning to BRNC to act as college seniors where I will take a division and handle any welfare issues there may be whilst working towards my OOW task book in prep for my first complement on a ff/dd. Beyond that I hope to continue my professional development to become a PWO and work my war up to take command of my own warship.
