can i just say i know friends who joined as a seaman specialist and its bloody fun and enjoyed every minuete of it so please trust me when i say it these people sound and make it look boring
Basically the role really depends on what ship you end up being drafted on. For example I was on the aircraft carrier (QE) so I spend the majority of the time cleaning flats (compartments) since there is so much real estate to look after. On a daily basis on other ships you’ll do upper deck maintenance through the day ie, painting, maintaining life jackets, rope maintenance (more complex than it sounds). You’ll also do plenty of seamanship evolutions when required i.e launching the sea boat, RAS, entering and leaving harbour (specials). What the advert barely covers is work on the bridge which there is a lot of. This includes acting as lookout, Helmsmen (steering the ship), visual signaling(flashing light and flags), and also tactical commutations with other ships over the headset (fleetwork) this advert barely covers all the tactical side of what sea specs have do which shocks most new recruits when they get to phase 2 training. It’s more complex then you think and some people do end up failing phase 2 because of it but obviously with the right attitude you’ll be sound. A considerable amount of time is spend learning morse code and being able to read flashing light as well as learning how to correctly communicate to other ships via headset.Hope this helps soz it’s so long winded. Let me know if you need any more info 👍
@wackjack8 all naval personnel are trained as soldiers first during basic training. As a Seaman Specialist you will have to guard the ship whilst it is at port.
Hello Dennis. You've been at Raleigh for 2 weeks now. How are you getting on? Has it cracked up to be all you thought it would? Is the Seaman branch still divided into 3 Specialist branches or has all that changed ie Radar operator, TAS & Gunnery? Good luck & I hope you get to see the world, it's a great life if you choose to make a life-long career out of it. Or just a very good piss up for a few years, if that is all you want!
Oh dear... old oppos. They really do give those hooks to bloody anyone these days..... All that needs to top it off is Scouse Redfern and Pete the Meat and the full set's there. As for 'only join because they're not smart enough to be engineers' well mate, you stay below deck during maintenance periods and change engines; we'd be in the pub. Don't let the door get you on the way out, eh?
Just wondering you hear the girl say there trained in weapons so would they be trained in using the SA80 assault rifle? Is just the royal marines who use them? Or do other navy personel use them too? appreciate if someone could clear this up thanks
Have my interview date in 3 weeks time for this, already passed the psychometric tests... interview, medical, fitness tests.... then around 32 weeks of waiting :/
I start phase 1, July 13th 2020. And then have another 10 months of phase 2, 3 days after finishing phase 1😬😬. Your comment was 7 years ago. What's this role like from your perspective?
I've applied to the royal navy as a seaman specialist, I have my recruitment test on the 23rd of July, please could people give me any tips for the test and and other information!!! Thankyou!
i am 25 years old and i have been interested in joining up with the Royal navy as a seaman specialist for a few years now. i work a boring 8 to 5 and i am just getting no where in life and i want to see the world! My only downfall about signing up is 1. getting shot ( though being in the navy is probably safer than walking in the strets of glasgow at 2am ) and 2. I am a type 1 diabetic. my question is - as a "controlled" diabetic - can i still join up if i decide its what i want to do?
I admire what they do but as being a bit immature what she said at the start was extremely funny. I am a seaman specialist and it's extremely hands on
i'm off to Raleigh in 6 weeks, been waiting 4 years to join as a seaman specialist. I cannot wait and watching this vid has me even more exited. :-)
Dennis Robinson is this what career you do now then, if so how’s it going ?
@@petergriffen5422 I take it he's still not doing it lol
Just passed my recruitment test for sea spec, medical next 🇬🇧
how did it go?
@@leytonwoolley1630Failed the swallow examination
can i just say i know friends who joined as a seaman specialist and its bloody fun and enjoyed every minuete of it so please trust me when i say it these people sound and make it look boring
also its very hands on wich is why i like this
High calibre machine guns. That's all it says about them on the job description.
Seen that on the site a few hours after i posted it - bit gutted but i totally understand the reason why.
Being a seaman specialist myself I have to say this video is very misleading 🙄
How
How would you describe what it's really like? I'm interested in joining in the future so I'm interested in what a they would actually do.
How is it misleading, what do you actually do coz I'm interested in becoming one

Vyrion Nauta You actually Pilot it..

I was a civilian seaman specialist for several years. I worked at a p*rno shop. Can I put that experience down on my resume when applying?
How do you become part of the boarding team
Apply for it
@MrSailorjack I'm a qualified marine engineer and I'm going in as a Seaman spec, so I fail to see your point...

Hi I am just wondering - which is the best job to have in the navy if you want to progress to become a Captain later?
You cant be serious
Semen specialist?🤔
The irony of picking a lesbian (at least looking like one) to talk about being a "hands on, seamen specialist" is priceless.
do seaman specialists get to shoot the 30mm?
WillL it literally says in the video
19th of may? @dennisrobinson
💀 Dead
Or you could be a real man, and join the army!
Yeah alright
