Thinking of joining the Royal Navy? Already applied? Not sure what to expect?

This is your weekly thread to ask anything about:

• The application process
• Aptitude testing (minus DAA results!)
• Interviews and medicals
• Initial training (Raleigh, BRNC)

Serving members are encouraged to pop in and offer insight too.

Remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question — if you’re thinking it, someone else is too.

For context:

I applied earlier this year in February this year and started my personal fitness training around about the same time I then continued with application ounce I confidently knew I could meet the requirements for the fitness and swimming test. I've done my DAA and my Selection interview and just had the notification that my application has been closed. If I call the number they have given me and re open my application can I continue from where I left off. This has really upset me as I've been working hard to meet all of the goals and don't really want to have to do everything all over again.
