While FW is absolutely correct in what he says for most candiates there are, as usual, exceptions for really outstanding aspirants.
I know one who was not actually considering a career in the RN but who met Commodore SouthWest at a function and came away with his card and an instruction to 'call my office Monday'. The AFCO interview followed on Wednesday and AIB 6 months later. Although they were offered a commision in the RN they chose the RAF instead.
Do not rely on this however as it is not the norm.
