Did you know the Royal Navy is growing by 3,000 sailors over the next three years? To meet the additional demand for freshly-trained men and women, HMS Collingwood is turning 500 civilians into sailors this year - the first time in decades it has trained raw recruits. It is providing initial military training alongside HMS Raleigh, the RN's principal establishment for new-entry recruits - which has also raised its output. 👀 http://ow.ly/K6eY50DepEz | Royal Navy
