Hi guys, I'm the gentleman that asked Bluebird if he would commission one for me.
First of all I just want to apologise if I have offended anyone by asking.
I've been searching for almost 3years, which I suppose if I had started it myself I could be halfway through, but time off in the Royal Navy is extremely hard to come by, with the sever dwindling number of ships, more commitments and the cutbacks on manpower. In my 8years as a member of the RN, I now have almost 1650 days at sea, which is almost 5 years without seeing land, let alone all the courses needed to be at a trained strength.
And with my low expertise in such a mammoth task, it would of taken a lot longer than I've ever thought.
If anybody would be interested then please please let me know, and we can work something out.
I've enjoyed watching all the videos, reading all the posts and analysing pictures of modern warships to see just what amazing jobs you guys do.
I'm at sea for the whole of June doing the following exercise, followed by Armed Forces Day 2014 spent in Cardiff. Here's a link
