I just recently applied to be a Warfare Officer (Submariner) in Her Majestys Royal Navy.

I have a formal interview and a selection exam end of this month before I can even think of going to the Admiralty Interview Board...anyways I digress.

-0.25 is nothing in an eye. Yet thats how much I'm out by in my left. Yet I can be a Royal Marine or a RM Officer. I did a year in the Reserve Infantry and I can safely say you need ebtter eyesight as a slogger then an officer onbaord a submarine.

A very Big, Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot on that one.

Don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out.

A very good friend of mine's cousin is an officer aboard one of your nuclear boats. He stayed at my friend's place in Canada for two weeks one summer. The man had the most disgusting appalling foot odour I have ever had the misfortune to breathe in. It was so bad that they had to replace the carpet in the room he stayed in AND the carpet in the hallway leading to the bathroom after he left.

I felt very sorry for anyone who had to serve on a sub with him.
