- Watch as we take you around HMS Raleigh at Torpoint in Cornwall, where Naval Ratings are put through their paces for 10 weeks as they go through their basic training. Want to learn more about the Royal Navy? Head to our website www.royalnavy....
I went through Raleigh as a skinny 16 yr old back in 1997. I found it hard at the time but the thought of letting my family down who were so proud of me kept me going until passing out successfully - my division won the honour to walk out as the guard of our passing out parade (Pellew div)! From there joined HMS Boxer on her final deployment 9 months in the Middle East & Far East. After that went on to more deployments one in the Caribbean was amazing. I look back on my naval career with a mixture of happiness, pride & character building. For all the people either thinking of or are about to join - make sure your fitness levels are as high as possible, take on a mature & respectful attitude as you will need plenty of these attributes and more going through your initial training. GOOD LUCK & ADVANCE BRITANNIA 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm currently at Raleigh and it's been enjoyable, hard at times yes but it's more enjoyable than hard.
Edit: Passed out 30/03/23!
Cheers dits
Congratulations!!!🎉
Well done
RN or RFA?
@@williambartlett1054 RN.
Currently about to enter my 5th week. Genuinely enjoying it, better than I expected. Don't miss home at all!
I thought you were dead?
How was the experience overall?
@@gstar9109 amazing, it pushes you to mould yourself new limits but not enough to break you. Personal highlight was MTU week, hated dartmoor cause the weather was shite, but definitely enjoyed the overall challenge of Raleigh
@@kurtcobain3426do they really have to shave their heads
Sprog
That locker is twice the size of mine. Drake 19 1983. The greatest band of men ever to pass out of Raleigh 😊
Went through Raleigh as a 16 year old in 1998. Shock to the system, instructors were bastards back then. Hope it’s changed a bit
Was ships company here, 81 - 83, 85 - 86, 90 - 92 and 94 - 95 in the sickbay,when I left from here after completing my 22 yrs. Obviously the training curriculum has changed but it had whenever I return. Did my basic training at HMS Ganges in 73.
Hope to be joining soon! Busy getting fit then going to submit my application! Love videos like these that show some insight into the Royal Navy.
'I' hope to be .... good grammar is essential.
How's it going now
@@Janus-fn2uzI know your just winding him up military humour 🤣are you serving or out the mob now so
Went through Raleigh in 85. Some things have certainly changed others less so. I enjoyed it.
Did my training at HMS RALEIGH IN 1965 in those days 16 weeks basic training, had a great time with the activities and meeting new people, all the best to those under training at moment and those wishing to join ⚓️
Did mine in 65 jerricoe div.
Went through in 1988 as a young 17 year old. In Anson Division. It made me and stayed with me for life. At the time it was hell , but I was remade and it was right.
Was there in 90, very similar but changed a lot, wish I was 18 again, looks a lot better but I still enjoyed it back then, passing out was a great experience
I went through Raleigh in 1977 Benbow and walker as a junior seaman then back in 1982 working as a firefighter in the damage school and would do it all again now, gunner for ever
I first went to Raleigh in 1967 . The best thing I ever did was join the Navy.
my uncle went to st.vincent when he was 15 he had to go for a year and a bit to do basic training in the 1960s left after 23 years reaching the rank of chief petty officer
Incredible Royal Navy hope to join the team of marines commandoes for the next recruitment.
Worked for Commodore Brokenshire. Built the submarine museum for him. I was a WSM.
I was one of last recruits at Ganges . 1972 . it was hell on earth . for a 15 year old it was brutal . a hell of a lot better nowadays .
Left Raleigh couple of days ago 🙌 I will be joining sultan soon
Nelson, aye?
In the process of joining now. Just on my medical. Cant wait
How is it !?
How did you managed to join
changed a lot since September 1966
I went through RNR basic at Raleigh ten years ago. It gives you a sense of purpose and direction. It's tough, but rally round each other and you will get there!
Nothinf like the Raleigh I joined in 1953 all wooden huts only recognised the drill hall and parade ground.
Vanders my man ✊🏻 holding it down from the cover of magazines to a video. A start writer in the making
big man himself
alright Calpol
Went here back in 2021 but only for 1 week. I’ll be back soon!
Hope to be starting there very soon.
I’m going on Monday
@@Rc-xd8ji good luck mate
@@JMPICTUREPRODUCTIONS cheers buddy
I'll also be there soon. Currently up to the fitness test which is the 2.4k treadmill run
@@Davide_media yea good luck with that mate hope all goes well
Typo in the onscreen title!
Takes me back.... wow, joining at 18 in 1990 The Royal Navy was my making ! I remember the training for damage repair.... bloody cold and this was before all the Health and safety nonsense was around ..... the north Atlantic was not going to be kind, so neither were the trainers !! lol best decision ever. Took redundancy 7 tears later (Options for change) Biggest mistake (for the government) and joined the Fire Brigade and just retired !!! life has a path laid out for you ...... the first steps are the most important and you cant go wrong with the RN !!!
R.I.P HMS Cornwall (The fighting Ice Cream) F99 !!!
@@laptopfiremanI was onboard 87 - 90, took her out of build, commissioned by Diana, in Falmouth April 88, have a photo of me and her in sickbay, without a doubt the best 3 years of my 22,😊 went to Ganges.. outside from Raleigh
my sons going on the 27th 😃
I've applied can't wait
Drake Division October 92, seems like yesterday!
Big changes since I was there in 1957 .
Flashback to 1978!
Looked cold outside there lads
I was there in 1990, noticed in the opening credits, raleigh was spelt wrong... 😮
Spelled, ..ironically.
Looks like Navy is ahead Isaac as ALWAYS smart .They did not rule and make an Empire on fighter jets.
A good friend of mine is an aircraft handler, i dont know how he got through Raleigh
I'm joining HMS Raleigh in a few months, anyways what is the best way to prep myself for the IMF sessions, I can do the run quite happily at 12 mins, at CPC I was blowing out my arse after the 20 mins IMF taster, so what is the most effective way to build up strength and stamina I guess for the IMF sessions
Looking forward to sultans accommodation tour
Ah Memories! Walker 40/04
I think at Royal Navy concerts get good ratings.
Stay strong strong englang ❤❤🎉
Im thinking of joining as a cyber operative do all recruits go through the same training or is it bespoke depending on that you want to go into?
Gould 22/03 for the win
Just about to take my interview before the fitness test. Any tips?
How did it go?
is there posible to join a filipino
Drake 46 2000-2001
What's the difference when training for the Royal Navy and the Royal fleet auxiliary?
One is less strict.
When you join the RFA you only do trade training there is no military training or ‘basic training’ you’ll go to Raleigh for a week to pick up kit, Id card and do health and safety before moving onto trade training. RFA are civilian, RN are military.
Can i join if i'm colombian?
No you have to be British
If you have commonwealth citizen ship, a dual British National citizenship or are a citizen of the uk or Ireland you can join.
@@Imjusteloise :) i'm happy with read that
NAFFI looks bigger.
GO ON VANDERS 😂🤣
I hated every second of basic training 🤣
Shame they spelt Raleigh "Raliegh" in the opening titles. Somebody needs to resit their NAMET ! :)
I've just been going through my late fathers papers and found out he was here in 1941.
Looks good but Politcal correctness has shown its head. Fighting a gas controlled fire at the fire school is not realistic when you have oil...plastic etc type fires on a ship. 😂😅
Looks like good fun …. However What’s the point of the navy when we are getting invaded across the Chanel every day ….
Also builds you as a person and tbh britain has the best royal navy
Trust me it’s not fun
@@copyer9088softy
I've applied as a Medical Assistant. I'm not fit...do I have to do all of this as well. This scares me to be honest. 😩
Yes, all people regardless of role have to be fit and healthy to join..
It should have said on the website your entry requirements..
If this scares you instead of motivates you, you might want to rethink your choices.
Instead of saying “I’m not fit” and “do I have to do this”
You should be saying
“I’m not currently at this standard but will get myself to a good level”
Yes, it's the navy, it's military, you have to be fit to be in the military.
I don’t want to join
oh my he is cute
Stop spamming me with ads
I hate to say it, but the gravy's basic training looks a lot harder than what we done in the Royal Air Force, I went through in 1990 and it was nowhere as bad as this looked. The WOKE RAF would be even easier to pass out in 2024, breakfast in bed every morning. no shouting or swearing. I have even seen that they no longer have to do bed packs. A total shame in my eyes.
Far too many women wannabee men in the mob now since I served me time. They're nowt but a hindrance to jack as they always need help from blokes.
Are ye ready for this. I joined in August 1966 February 67,,,I accepted a discharge,,,services no longer required. I petitioned Capt white for two months, meeting him every Friday morning to request a discharge. He finally understood that a 16 yr old kid from Ireland could not live on £3 per week,. 17 year olds got £8.10 shilling a week. On my money I could not even keep my kit clean. Added to that was the chief petty officer responsible for class 946,,,he was a raving alcoholic,,,drunk 24/7. Capn White ,,,saw the light. If I was young again,,,I would join in a flash,,,the benefits now are super.
God yes I’d forgotten 3 pounds a week ! Bloody awful
will i get the Golden Rivet
