This Tuesday is a Commanding Officers Parade. What does that mean? A Commanding Officer Parade is a formal parade where the Commanding Officer inspects the Ships' Company just like we would during our quarterly Inspection Parades. We also perform a March Past, an Advance in Review Order, and General Salute. These are all things you learned and practiced during the Onboard. Most of the time, it is only the Commanding Officer inspecting the Ships Company but there are times where other guests may also be invited to partake. Make sure that you dress and act appropriately. It also means that we wear our formal Service Dress Uniforms (No. 1) consisting of:
Most of the New Entry (NE) Cadets had their Service Dress (No. 1) Uniforms issued to them at the General Training Onboard last weekend. If you are a New Entry (NE) and you did not come to the Onboard, you will have to follow the following dress standards:
Those of you without Service Dress (No. 1) Uniforms, during Stand Easy, you may see Stores to get fitted for your Service Dress (No. 1) Uniform as you should have attended the Onboard. Do not go to Stores at the beginning of the night or after the Parade. After the parade, there will be regular training so be sure to bring your notebooks and pens or pencils for note taking. Remember that the things you learn in Training may be on your Promotions exams. |
