Royal Navy Mine Clearance Diver Training

[wardy2294]

HELP: would a padi open water qualification help me get in atall? and what is the applicant:job ratio, i.e. haw hard is it to get in assuming i'm fit enough?

Just wondering because i wouldn't imagine that there is very high demand for mine clearance divers, but i'm seriously considering it. :)

[suziemays2k]

If you have to ask how fit you need to be to be a RNCD then you ain't fit enough. Fuck off

[mrcatohead]

other than the physical stuff is there anything else i should do to start preparing for the cdat?

[sprinter223]

alright mate. i've considering branch transfering and one of the options i've been given is RN Diver. How much phys does the course contaIn and how fit should you be before trying for initial selection? Cheers

[Skaterdude4321]

nice!

[multironburgundy]

Hi say if you were doing engineering in the navy for five years after your service is up could you sign up as a navy diver thanks.

[multironburgundy]

say if i did five years engineering in the navy as a engineer once that's done could i then sign up to do 5 years as a navy diver thanks.

[LLOYDIE710]

[tumzy187]

I want to be a diver but I don't want to dive in that water it looks so cold can't they do the training in the Caribbean?

[SuperHaag]

@tumzy187 No they can't.. too expensive, don't become a diver if you don't like cold water!

[craigisheree]

[craigisheree]

[SuperMrgs]

how meny people get throo on avrig cos i have my hart set on this

[pompeygirlGA]

my Dad was chief diver in the RN,he taught mine clearance at Horsea Island

[middlevin]

why does british always copy usa? england is always below usa

[pompeygirlGA]

check your history

[Ultimagnet]

you're SO fucking stupid. Guess who's economy is far stronger? I find that funny because America's major currency intake is through the stock market.

Did you know that America was a penal colony during early settlement? meaning that YOU were the trash that England did not want on their land. Enjoy Your independence that you got through the help of the french. Which is a massive fail because you didn't even achieve independence on your OWN

England towers over you, you American fuck-whit

[rapsace]

@Ultimagnet nice 1

[Ultimagnet]

modern history... best class i ever took for ammo against fuck whits like him.

[imurjesus1]

@Ultimagnet im tired of all the people saying america sucks this and that, i agree the stock market is bad and everything, but if america is not even affecting you, why bring up the subject i mean i'm american does that make me a bad person? just saying that when you say that your implying that all americans are horrible...

[MrTBAL]

@Ultimagnet England?, think you mean Britain.

[ches1212]

cunt

[Thompsyzoombla]

Lol middlevin i find you hilarious because you do know that the Royal Navy is the best Navy in the world and that is fact my friend.

[middlevin]

ur navy dont have ground troops, usa have navy seals and this video shows your navy needs air under water unlike usa navy

[Thompsyzoombla]

So the Royal Navy don't have ground troops, how do you explain the Royal Marines? One of the best fighting services in the world. Your making an arse of yourself i advise you shut up before you totally fuck yourself up, yes?

[rapsace]

@Thompsyzoombla nice 1 lmao yup... im joining the navy or royal marines :D

[rapsace]

@middlevin omg lol ur such a fuckin twat navy seals are like a special force.. correct my if im wrong... and navy seals use air underwater too u fool

[bigasspanda]

dude, the nave have the royal marine commandos, troops deployed from ships. and recognised as one of the best fighting forces in the world. correct me if im wrong. and i may be. but wernt the navy seals were based around the royal marines?

[marctb1]

@bigasspanda you are completely right. I am doing my certificate of the watch at the moment, and am almost done on the long path of becoming a warfare officer

[disfunctionalemokid]

@middlevin u fuckin dipshit haha the rn no ground troops lmao so u never heard of royal marines sbs and navy medics ur real twat u just made america look stupid lol

[TheUSCam]

Is that in Loch Fyne? The perishers stomping ground? I did a course at HMS Vernon way back in time so that we would be compatible with the RN on clearance duties. SSBN-631 was my duty ship at the time. Loch Fyne and Loch Long were our final work-up areas. Two SBS guys drowned doing tower exits on that shift.

Love the vid brother.

[TheUSCam]

Oh yeah, on the SBS guys, sure was a shame at the time. Oxygen toxicity claimed them, we were on rebreathers but they simply fucked it up..Training,eh?

[SuperHaag]

@middlevin I think everyone needs air underwater...

[Heebobhijihopotitus]

@middlevin USA is always below England??? lol The british Forces would use your troops as puppets if they wanted to all you pussys have is nukes thats why u fat ass yanks are always gobbing of because you know if theres war you will just nuke

[shyslop15]

I have just passed my RT. I want to become a MCD but have been told im looking at about a 2year wait.

[ishredderi]

fuckin faggot.

[daz523]

IM on my baby mcd course now and thats correct its 2 year waiting ..... if you want it you will wait!

[MarkCooper1]

Hi there, i am thinking about joining the mine clearance training course in the UK with the RN. Is it a good course? I have some recreational diving experience and i am trained to dive to 40 metres. Thanks for any advice!

[ihatecheese1]

hey man i wanna do the same but when i went to the recruiting office the guy said theres a 2 year waiting list. as its uber popular and a very small division. if anyone knows differently please tell me lol.

[Ultimagnet]

not a lot of people get through unfortunately, the course is VERY hard... ive just applied for ground defence officer, so i am quite excited, but if your into diving, just become a reservist and do the naval diver course.

[VicMeggaTone]

Look guys i know a load of good lads all ex RN clearance divers, a few got a short term job when they de-mobbed Rock Hopping inshore off the kent coast. Yes one guy has a successful Diving company, but if ya wanna earn you need to do the Sat diving on rigs and the RN don't do that. Y PS Nip down to Temeraire and tell them your views, Ha

[0Valkrie0]

nothin on the aussie clearance divers

[VicMeggaTone]

the PT branch is the elite

[shellratt]

thats why ur trying to tap people from a diving video. u keep to ur rope tricks!lol

[imnotover18haha]

PT's are a bunch of puffs

[hordichuck]

was thinking of transferring over from the royal marines, would i have to go through a bog standrd up at 5.30 and get thrashed all day course such as the commando course again?? do you get civi qualifications? cheers for any input

[shellratt]

u would be going through the standard diving course which means ull b up at 7ish and arriving at the island at 8. ull finish 4 mon/wed/fri, and ull b night diving on tues/thurs. day consists of alot of phys and alot of diving as u expect. ull also be going away a few time while on the 6month course. hope that helps.

[hordichuck]

cheers mate was hoping there might be a back door..........ny civi quals that could lead to commercial diving career after the forces?

[shellratt]

u can convert ur diving course to civvy quals but ull have to do that urself. doesnt cost much thought. i think it converts to btec rescue diver or something near that. hope that helps.

[bond123466675]

anyone know the  reguirements for the pre aquaint course???

and also anyone got a rough fitness programme to train by ??

[bboy122]

hey im 14 starting too do this with the sea scuts just too show the kinda thing you gotta do cant wait

[joshandkelly8989]

was that swenny i saw there???? i was on PQC 149

[willinilli]

i can see where you coming from, but people are generally aware of the risk, we all watch the news...it just doesnt really register in their minds untill the danger is clear to see.

[fayik123]

Its easy to have that attitude but maybe the poor guy who spends the rest of his life in a wheelchair with requring 24hr a day care assistance may see it differently. Imagine needing care for the rest of you're life from a young age. This has happened to many people through this stupid illegal war

[AllPro6242]

what song

[nissan1usa]

linkin park. theres a remix with Jayz

[fayik123]

Recruitment offices should be more honest and show photos of injured personel and the sort of things that could happend to you if you enlist.

[diver1paul]

wow i never realised navy divers kept it all a secret. where did you find this information out? have you told any one? or is it just the voices in your head again? the navy divers i have met have been fit hansome and suntanned, no injuries at all. odd.

[willinilli]

fayik125, for god sake you can get injured putting on your trousers in the morning. people know what they are getting into. besides, no danger = no fun

[fayik123]

oh yeah sure, but you should always ensure you wear maximum amount of protection and leave no areas of you're body exposed or vulnerable.

[fayik123]

how often have naval craft been struck by naval mines or remote controlled watermines lately. they never mention this kind of thing in the media. IT obviously goes on. In general do personel get injured often by mine strikes

[beannie2108]

alrite looks good im lookin at goin in like an jsut out of curiousty i no you have to be extremely fit to get in but how cum u must have so much upper body strenght. thanks.

[rossco225]

going into 2 be a clearance diver in RN so is the cousre hard and do u have to be build like a brick shit house (fit). Thanks Ross

[shellratt]

its a hard course with lots of upperbody work. make sure u can pull ur own weight, ur gonna need 2. good luck with it and dont give up what every they throw at u.

[babsaloops]

hey mate am finkin of goin for the diving??? but would i see any action???

[VicMeggaTone]

Get real, Try the best RN PTI

[hordichuck]

yeah cheers easy. clearly marines and navy divers are the only decent jobs in the navy

[ConCon75]
