SEA CADET OATH

“I promise to serve God, honor our flag, abide by the Naval Sea Cadet Corps regulations and carry out the orders of the officers appointed over me, and so conduct myself as to be a credit to myself, my unit, the Naval

Page 18: BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE TRAINING MANUAL Name

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Shoe Shine. Dirt and other debris can easily embed into leather. Therefore, your shoes or boots need to be cleaned before polishing. Use a damp cloth to remove excess dirt and debris. To polish your shoes effectively, always remove the shoelaces from your shoe before you start polishing your shoes. This is the best way to get to clean the tongue of the shoe and avoid staining the laces. Shoe polish or creams should be applied evenly with a brush or soft cloth. Once the polish has properly dried, simply buff to a brilliant shine using a natural bristle brush. Note: it is important to use a separate brush and cloth for applying and buffing different colored shoes. Patent leather shoes should be cleaned with a damp cloth and buffed with a dry cloth. Hair: Male: Hair will be neat, clean and present a well-groomed appearance. Hair above the ears and around the neck shall be tapered from the lower natural hairline upwards at least 3/4 inch and outward no greater than 3/4 inch to blend with the hairstyle. Hair on the back of the neck may not touch the collar. The “blocked neckline” is permitted as long as a tapered appearance is maintained. Hair shall be no longer than 4 inches and groomed so that it does not touch the ears or collar, extend below the eyebrows when headgear is removed, show below the front edge of the headgear, nor interfere with the proper wearing of military headgear. Bulk of the hair shall not exceed 2 inches. Bulk is defined as the distance that the mass of hair protrudes from the scalp when groomed (as opposed to the length of the hair). Hair coloring must look natural and complement the individual. Faddish styles and outrageous multicolored hair are not authorized. The primary consideration remains a neatly groomed appearance for the hairstyle and the type of hair that the individual has, with 4 inches length and 2-inch bulk the maximum under any circumstances.

12

Page 19: BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE TRAINING MANUAL Name

FEMALE Hair will be clean and neatly arranged. 1) No outrageously multicolored or faddish hairstyles, to include shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline), or have designs cut or braided into the hair. 2) Hair coloring must look natural and complement the individual. Haircuts and styles shall present a balanced appearance. Lopsided and extremely asymmetrical styles are not authorized. 3) Ponytails, pigtails, widely spaced individual hanging locks, and braids, which protrude from the head, are not authorized. 4) Multiple braids are authorized. Braided hairstyles shall be conservative and conform to the guidelines listed herein. When a hairstyle of multiple braids is worn, braids shall be of uniform dimensions, small in diameter (approx. 1/4 inch), and tightly interwoven to present a neat, professional, well-groomed appearance. Foreign material (i.e., beads, decorative items) shall not be braided into the hair. Short hair may be braided in symmetrical fore-and-aft rows (cornrowing), which minimize scalp exposure. Cornrow ends shall not protrude from the head, and shall be secured only with inconspicuous rubber bands that match the color of the hair. 5) Appropriateness of a hairstyle shall also be judged by its appearance when headgear is worn. All headgear shall fit snugly and comfortably around the largest part of the head without distortion or excessive gaps. Hair shall not show from under the front of the brim of the combination hat, garrison cap, ball caps, or 8-point utility covers. Hairstyles which do not allow headgear to be worn in this manner, or which interfere with the proper wear of protective masks or equipment are prohibited. 6) When in uniform, the hair may touch, but not fall below a horizontal line level with the lower edge of the back of the collar. With jumper uniforms, hair may extend a maximum of 1 ½ inches below the top of the jumper collar.

BASIC WATCHSTANDING

During a ship’s entire commissioned life, it will always have Sailors on watch. There are probably more than a hundred types of watches, depending on the ship or station. Whatever type of watch, the watch stander must devote full attention to it. The ship’s organization and the watches manned by its personnel keep the ship running smoothly 24 hours a day. Watches vary, of course, depending on both the type of ship and whether the ship is underway or in port.

Even when the ship is moored in port and receiving hotel services (utilities such as steam, water, and electricity) from the pier or another ship, it is necessary to maintain a watch for communications, security, and safety.

HOW TO STAND WATCH

on the Quarterdeck

Always be in the proper uniform for standing watch on the Quarterdeck The proper uniform is always published in the Plan of the Day/Month. Report 15 minutes before shift and take charge of the Quarterdeck only when all special instructions and pass-on information is clearly understood. Exchange salutes with your relief and say: “I am ready to relieve you.” The off going watch stander will say: “I am ready to be relieved.” The oncoming watch then will say: “I relieve you.” The off going watch stander will reply and say: “I stand relieved.” A record of who assumes the watch is made in the logbook. The logbook is then signed by the off going watch to show who just completed the watch.

CROSSING THE QUARTERDECK When a Sea Cadet crosses the Quarterdeck when arriving, the cadet must salute the flag, then salute the senior watch stander and “Request permission to come aboard.” If the cadet is late for morning muster, their name is recorded in the logbook and a note is made to the Administrative officer to inform them of the tardy cadet. When a Sea Cadet crosses the Quarterdeck to depart, they must salute the senior watch stander first, and “Request permission to go ashore.” When permission is granted, drop salute, face the flag and render a sharp salute.

FLAG ETIQUETTE

The National Ensign is raised every morning at 0800 on all naval shore stations and ships. It is raised smartly and quickly to the sound of the bugle call “To the colors” and is lowered slowly to every night at sunset to the bugle call “retreat.”

Special care should be taken that no part of the flag touches the ground. The Flag is then carefully folded into the shape of a tri-cornered hat, emblematic of the hats worn by colonial soldiers during the war for Independence. In the folding, the red and white stripes are finally wrapped into the blue, as the light of day vanishes into the darkness of night. This custom of special folding is reserved for the United States Flag alone.

How to fold the Flag

Step 1

To properly fold the Flag, begin by holding it waist-high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground.

Step 2

Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely.

Step 3

Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside.

23

Page 32: BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE TRAINING MANUAL Name

Step 4

Make a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open (top) edge of the flag.

Step 5

Turn the outer (end) point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle.

Step 6

The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner.

Step 7

When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.
