Hello, just to let you know that there is a comment on our breaking news section from the Minister of the Armed Forces, on the response to the Royal Anglian parade through Luton on Wednesday, which may be of interest to you.

The NFF is excited to announce that at close of play today we will be uploading our new website to this address.

The process will take up to 24 hours; please bear with us during the transition period as you may experience difficulties accessing the website and message boards.

Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy the new website!

Hi
I am a new Navy mum. My son also started at Raleigh on 9th February. We had a very emotional send off at Paddington Station on Sunday 8th Feb. Simon is 19 but I do still worry. He is very happy though and thoroughly enjoying himself. Really proud of him and looking foward to passing out, maybe we will meet then Julie.
