		Having managed to get through the interview, the RFA sent me to the National Sea Training College in Gravesend where about 160 of us were introduced to what life at sea was going to be all about.
		During the three months I spent on RFA Fort Austin the junior deck ratings onboard were looked after by a Petty Officer trainer who taught us all, after obtaining our steering tickets, the finer art of seamanship like bosun chairs and stages and of course wire splicing.
		My first ship as an SG1B was RFA Tidespring and I ended up spending seven very enjoyable months onboard, which to this day is the longest I have ever done on a ship.
