Hi there,
Thanks for your question.
Hygiene for everyone, both men and women, is really important when deployed. It’s what keeps us healthy and allows us to continue doing our jobs.
You will always have access to water when on training or deployments and will always have opportunities to wash and keep clean. You will also be able to dispose of any sanitary products discreetly.
If you find that you are anxious about this, or you have any more questions when you start your training, there will generally be a female member of staff at your training establish you will be more that happy to talk to you about it and share some advice and experience.
Definitely don’t let it be something that puts you off applying as I have never found it to be an issue.
Katie
