Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Very unhelpful with info I was after, as was HMS Sultan, HMS Nelson, and Portsmouth dockyard.

Negative experience: Royal Navy training establishment. Food is worst across any bases I've been too. Full of people who don't know how to control themselves when giving some form of management status aka bellends.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic day out, the shows were amazing put on by everyone involved, my 14 year old son actually enjoyed himself lol Well done to all the navy personnel for keeping our country safe. Looking forward to the next one.. X

Fantastic experience: Brilliant day. Think more viewing seats and food and drink outlets would if made the day better, but we enjoyed the day anyway.

Fantastic experience: Great open day celebrations fantastic day out. Looking forward to next year. The Punch and Judy show had the children shouting and enjoying the show, and the adults loved it just as much. Bouncy castles, Round abouts. Magic shows. Balloon modelling. Plenty of other stalls to look at too. Just a great experience. Well done H.M.S. Collingwood.

Fantastic experience: Field gun day is a great time

Fantastic experience: Turned me from a boy to a man Excellent training establishment in 1959

Negative experience: Lack of anything useful on Base, no hot water, no heating

Negative experience: Absolutely dire conditions, ships company have no heating, no washing facilities & no water (taps, toilets, washing machines, showers, the lot). People are having to relieve themselves in the car parks or against the walls as they are faced with a 15 minute walk to the next available facility, some cabins are polluted by the smell if 2 day-old jobbies as there was no notice of the water being turned off & no alternative accommodation offered. This, sadly, is an annual occurrence due to the poor maintenance & lack of investment in the decades old infrastructure. The two positives seen this year are the reduction in rat infestation, & the lack of large scale water leaks. However, the mouldy, stained carpets do little to convey this

Fantastic experience: Artificer training est. excellent.

Fantastic experience: Great place and good to all recruitment

Negative experience: I heat this school
