Third and fourth Stage - THE INTERVIEW

SO the third and fourth stage of becoming a Mine Clearance Diver

(3rd stage)EYE test-- which has to be done at a Independant eye clinic on your own time and money but get it back in a few weeks. i had passed my eye test with flying colors which you have to bring the form to the interview.

THE INTERVIEW
I went for my interview in the Plymouth AFCO branch on the 1st of sept 2009 at 12:15. I went in brand new suit, tie, and polished shoes (make the best impression I guess). Again as with the psychometric test you have to revise for your interview as they are going to ask you about your certain trade (MCD – Mine clearance Diver and other subjects such as:


• YOU, obviously
• Family
• Why you are joining
• Financial
• Where the RN are in the world, and why
• Current affairs
• Current and future equipment
• Command structure
• Recent and future developments
• Some background on different areas within the Navy, such as Marines, FAA


With most of the subjects you can find what you need from the royal navy main website. Also help from http://www.warshipsifr.com/index.html which is news of all military movements.


The interview is on a one to one basis with one of the recruitment officers, and you will be asked questions on each subject, don’t give one word answers show that you have revised and that you really want to be part of the trade you are applying for. Remember this is your time to show you really want this.
After the interview is over the recruitment officer will tell you there and then if you have passed or not.
Thankfully I had passed mine and was told I would be hearing from the office on the date of my full divers medical.
One week later I had my medical booked for the 29th sept 2009 at 14:00.
Let’s hope I’m FIT and HEALTHY!!!!!!!
