⚓️ 🫡 Commanding Officer’s Rounds🫡 ⚓️

This week, new entry officers took part in the Commanding Officer’s Rounds.

During rounds, the Commanding Officer inspected cabins, communal areas and recreation spaces, assessing the cleanliness, presentation, material condition and overall preparedness of College accommodation.

The pride and attention to detail displayed by trainees reflected the strong standards upheld at the Royal Australian Naval College and the Navy; and is another important milestone in preparing for life at sea. ⚓️🇦🇺

⚓️ Anzac Day ⚓️

HMAS Creswell, the Royal Australian Naval College, and NEOC 77 trainees proudly represented the Royal Australian Navy across a number of local South Coast services.

The day began with a moving Dawn Service, setting the tone for reflection and remembrance.

For NEOC 77, this marked their first Anzac Day; an important milestone in their service. Our officers demonstrated professionalism, respect, and quiet reflection throughout. Their conduct was a credit to themselves, the College, and the enduring legacy of those who have served before them.

We extend our sincere thanks to the many friends and family members who travelled to share in this important day. Your support made the occasion all the more meaningful for our New Entry Officers.
