Hmmm - not sure we'll be able to operate two - or even one and a half

as for "Not sure we really want to aim for people who "didn't like school" or "exam results weren't great" I totally agree but you can only select from the volunteers - and right now the Navy isn't exactly a career aspiration for many young people

in the past you could alwys flog the "see the world" story but these days they can go anywhere on their own bat

best to emphasise the technical training they get I think - the RN and the RAF have a real edge over the Army in that regard
