Strange, or perhaps refreshing, that 2 people can watch the same program and come away with opposing opinions. I felt desperately sorry for the Subby PWO-to-be. She had the nous to get a degree, a commission in the Royal Navy and survive x weeks at BRNC only to find her professional training as dull as a wet Wednesday in Skegness. I am sure she’ll be a loss to the service.
INW - have you been asleep for the last fifteen years? All school-leavers get a degree these days. It's no longer just for grammar and public school kids!
Baby warfare officers do a term at BRNC, fourteen weeks at sea, and another term back at BRNC, so I'm surprised she found life as a watchkeeper such a shock.
