Royal Navy School

The recruits are at the halfway-point in the ten week course, so training ramps up to the next level. Cara struggles to lead her team, whilst Callum finds it hard to grasp what it is to be in the Navy.

This edition focuses on the women of Cornwell Division as they go through exactly the same training as the men, coming up against HMS Raleigh's toughest physical test in the notorious `Stretcher Run'. Seventeen-year-old recruit Rachel Fletcher sees the NAvy as her big chance to turn things around and make a new life for herself, while 19-year-old Thailand-born Saowalak Choptham inadvertently breaks Raleigh's `no touch' rule after kissing her boyfriend on base and finds her career left hanging by a thread
