Joining the navy.

[ummmm]

Someone we know is signing up for the navy. He reckons that if he signs up for 8 years he'll be paid a lump sum of 18k once he passes his 9 week training.

We think he's talking poo...

Does anyone know?

My eldest brother was in the RAF for 17 years and is about to get a similar payout.....he left many years ago now and this will be some sort of pension lump sum.
I doubt any of the forces would pay a new recruit that amount!
What if they all joined,did basic training,took the lump sum and left?

[leggionaire]

could it be 1800?

9 weeks at 200 per week ?

doesnt sound like an outrageous amount.

if he has no qualifications i assume hes no maths professor?a simple calculation error and an extra zero could easily explain it.
