  • 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.

    • @carmina776
      @carmina776 4 роки тому +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.

    • @iainstewart9844
      @iainstewart9844 Місяць тому

      Dartmouth is where junior officers START their training. Graduates, doctors, nurses etc enter with seniority according to their experience hence one and two ringers in the same squad. Their course will probably be about 12 weeks and there is little time for Parade Training.
      In the old days much more time devoted to initial training there. Cost cutting hit all the Armed Forces and, in 2019, parts of the College were too dangerous to enter.
