Royal Navy's NEWEST officers pass out at BRNC Dartmouth

[@andrewmallard2301]

Congratulations to all those being commissioned and to the Ukrainian officer, returning to defend his home.

[@G_de_Coligny]

Yes one more n4zi for mother Russia to use for target practice !

[@fordpopular8792]

WELL DONE, Our beloved country needs you badly

[@williameade5503]

Congratulations I do miss the naval college

[@UK_Cobra]

I thought the title meant passed out, due to heat wave, ie fainted. Sorry, not a naval person, but congratulations to everyone there, proud of you all.

[@mihalich7740]

Не извиняйтесь за то, что вы не являетесь моряком (военным моряком) и не принадлежите к морской профессии. Проверьте, что человек не может принимать на себя вину (пусть и просто - как фигуру речи, фигурально выражаясь) за то, что ему не случилось в его жизни ступить на палубу военного корабля будучи при этом в военно-морской форме. Скажу вам больше: далеко не всем удаётся даже родиться рядом с морем и вырасти на его берегу. Вот поэтому тут не может быть никакой вины (даже умозрительной).

[@julesmarwell8023]

Looking foreward to the future when some of you will train with our, Royal Australian Navy. God bless you all and may God bless our beloved Elizabeth

[@ENGBriseB]

Well done Men and Women congrats from the UK it's a great life you have chosen. May you make the very best of decisions in your future. GL all.

[@ULHIS]

And they all passed out in the heat.

[@roguekenshi6934]

When it’s so hot you mistake the title for literally ‘passing out’

[@banshee107]

…that’s what I was waiting for lol

[@Itchyknee88]

Many congratulations, I’m sure you’ll do our country proud, and especially to the Ukrainian lad, I hope the training and experience will serve him well in his service of his country. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@Aeronaut1975]

Congratulations!

[@chrishalstead4405]

Lovely to watch the future of the Navy passing into these young hands

[@mihalich7740]

Yes!

[@terencericketts8017]

Congratulations to all the officers who passed out ,all the very best for your Future in the Royal Navy ⚓️

02:10 - Hello to Mrs. Sarah Ellen Oakley! I'm very glad to see you, Mrs. Oakley, in this new for me and celebrate for you, Captain, official video. Good and Excellent new Navy Officers - and Good Job for You personaly, Mrs. Captain of Stone Frigate! (Smile)

Question: "You're close-hauled on the port tack, beating up the channel with a north-easterly wind blowing strong, with Dover bearing north two miles. The wind veers four points, taking you flat aback. What do you do, sir?"

[@MustafaAliTalks]

Not sure. What’s the answer?

You Look out the widow to see if the french fire boat is coming to your rescue.

[@rashidahmad7830]

Good luck to the newly commissioned officers. They are the future of the RN. A lot of expectation on them from the senior service that has a history of over 350 years. Hope they live up to it.

[@liammcgrath2306]

Midshipman Paddy McGrath, is my little brother

[@musasabir779]

Wow! A very nice and amazing mate.

Big up Paddy McGrath 🇬🇧☘️

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

Congratulations. I know it's a little late, but it's still no less meaningful.

[@Hal-kj2mc]

Superb, well done all. Best navy in the world bar non.

[@davericketts9101]

Agreed but just a tragedy to me, that the Royal Navy is now so tiny. The number of ships we have is truly pathetic.

[@ShaunRoberts1]

Nothing better than the British armed forces tradition 👌

[@thomism1016]

Hmmm 🤔. Do nursing Officer Cadets do the full course?

[@olilea5522]

yes

Importantly I hope they have filled those quotas, I mean we don’t want the best of the best, what we want is some boxes ticked. It’s the 21st century way.🙄🙄

[@sunrayisdown1690]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😉 Not with the Tories !

[@graemef6852]

Wow, 29 weeks training and they can't even march in step with each other! Also I note how "woke" it all is now, and as for the "compressed" parade because it's to hot, really! Is this really what navy officers are today?

[@davericketts9101]

Let`s hope it isn`t a hot day when the Russians decide to attack. God help us. In 1976, I was at HMS Daedalus in Lee-On-Solent and we stood in a guard of honour, out on the airfield apron, waiting for the Sultan of Oman to arrive for a visit. Needless to say, it was a rather warm day but it didn`t change any of the arrangements.

[@almac2598]

@@davericketts9101 Finished my Tiffy Training there in Summer '76. I do remember one very hot Friday afternoon Divisions that summer when there was a holdup with the Officer taking the salute. We were stood easy and the only time I ever heard 'Off Jackets' was given. Not an easy task for those in the square rig of the day. Also, there were a number of those in fore and aft rig whose shirts seemed to lack sleeves, had slits up the back etc. It took about 30 secs for the order 'On Jackets' to be given and we stood sweating for the next 20 mins or so.

[@davericketts9101]

@@almac2598 Nice to know we were there at the same time. Happy days for me 👍

[@allybally0021]

I'm sure there are the best of young people amongst them and I congratulate them ....but you are correct they are going into a woke organisation that does not give me much confidence they will preserve the traditions and values.

[@allybally0021]

@@composimmonite3918 The opposite...I mean they recruit on skin color identity and not competence. Woke policies are full of hate based on race.

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Great people: no boats. Sadface

[@mcmustangno1567]

More admirals than ships, officers are the last thing needed. The only positive here is the Ukrainian passing out.

[@davey2363]

Paddy McGrath; speaking from a script…..a compressed ceremony because of the heat……the modern weak, wet and woke face of the Royal Navy. It’s very sad indeed.

[@MrHeadSet1]

Down vote I didn't see anybody pass out.

[@jon1801]

How many were gender neutral? How many identified as a carrot?😊

[@MrDK0010]

None, move on.

I noticed far too much diversity

[@olilea5522]

I don’t mean to sound rude but English military seems so disorganized nowadays.

How many would be worthy of even fastening Lord Nelson’s shoes though . Probably not one

[@kevg3320]

What have you done that qualifies you to make that assumption? Just curious.

[@kevg3320]

@@ElBoxeo1 So, you haven't actually served but read some stuff, and that somehow qualifies you to judge and predict the future. Seems legit.

[@richardwinfield6739]

Since the "forces" are going "woke" it's no wonder we can't even man what's left of the Navy .

[@jimwalsh8520]

Well done but some elocution would help. Onelad sai really appy, what happened to the H? Another used the glottal stop onstead of pronouncing his T`s and another said haitch and not aitch. Gosh English in the RN, try and be like the Army and RAF you barnacled fish heads

[@olilea5522]

its called having an accent, not everyone should sound the same. that's like middle school level english. also pretty sure the army and RAF also have different accents

[@SteamboatWilley]

The days of officers all being upper class public schoolboys are long gone.

[@stebrad123]

​@@SteamboatWilleywhen i was in the navy all the officers were upper class toffs. Seems to have changed these days.
