  • After many weeks of hard labour, these men and women finally walk up the steps of the Dartmouth Britannia Royal Naval College and become Royal Navy Officers.
    Also a very touching speech by the Second Sea Lord!
    I thought I would start my first naval video the right way, as I live in the heart of the Royal Navy, do expect to see tanks but also naval content! I sincerely hope you enjoy this video!

      BRNC doesn't have an 'academy uniform' so to speak. All uniforms worn, be it the daily working dress or the No.1 dress uniforms are the same as the wider navy. All Officer Cadets wear the dress uniform of a Midshipman (the first commisioned rank) with white tabs on the arms until their pass out parade for which they are removed. Those who have come from the non-commissoned rates (known as Upper-Yardmen) will pass out with rank of Sub-Lieutenant.

    It worries me that although the RN may be growing "in terms of tonnage" it is declining in terms of numbers of combatants and in terms of combat effectiveness.

    That's the way these parades should be done - with Auld Lang Syne at the end. The Royal Air Force do the same thing with a march up the steps and Auld Lang Syne too. So does Army officer training at Sandhurst College.

    • @carmina776
      @carmina776 4 года назад +5

      Fully qualified doctors become medical officers in the British Armed Forces and pass out in all of the services at the nato rank of OF-2 or higher depending on their medical experience and qualifications. I presume the young lady was either a fully qualified GP or a registrar in a hospital speciality to have passed out at OF-3.
