National Naval Reunion 2004 March

comet65 · 2nd August 2004, 02:36

Considering more than half the people who post in the ANZAC forums are in the RAN/ANC, most of you would know that the National Naval Reunion 2004 is on. On Saturday the 7th of August, the NNR2004 March will take place. I was wondering . . .

1. What cadet units will be there?
2. What you are doing?
3. Can we do anything special?
4. What uniform are you wearing?

CONDAMINE will be there....at the front...well some of them will be anyway

Bubblehead · 2nd August 2004, 03:07

Units Attending:
TS CONDAMINE, TS SYDNEY, TS SIRIUS, NUSHIP KANIMBLA, TS NEPEAN, TS HAWKESBURY.

Uniform for staff is W2, Uniform for Cadets is W7 (this is black pants, white shirt, black tie, utility jacket with rank badges on the sleeve & SMN sri or ANC Flashes, rate & cuff rate badges sewn on).

The ANC contingent (stand fast 3 cadets from CONDAMINE) is marching behind the RAN & RANR Uniformed Contingent and in front of the non uniformed contingents. AB Cheng will be carrying the Colour with LS Sebbens & AB Janes carrying the Banner at the front of the Parade.

Cadets for some reason are to muster in the city at 0745 for a 0900 step off (I am betting the march won't step off until 0930ish). Then there is a Commemorative Ceremony at the War Memorial commencing at 1300 concluding at 1345. There is a possibility that cadets will be able to have a tour over HMAS BALLARAT at Wharf 8 between the March and the commemorative ceremony.

oooo... look at me... all fancy with the Colour... this means i have to have my uniform squared away doesn't it?

Bubblehead · 2nd August 2004, 04:24

Yep.... but then it should be squared away anyway.... and you better have you hair in a proper neat bun.

*runs around looking for uniform* and my hair can be neat... with lots and lots of hair gel, and possibly drenching it beforehand...

Bubblehead · 2nd August 2004, 06:00

Uniform is hanging up on the door to the spare room

funkyfairy · 2nd August 2004, 19:18

And lots and lots of bobby pins and a hair net or 2

I'm sure you've got your own, but I have hair spray and gel too at home

comet65 · 2nd August 2004, 20:03

My hair is twice the length it was on ACT in January, so I'll have to put it in a bun. None of our cadets have their rank sewn onto their jackets, sorry! But its good to see that we are going, I don't think I've seen ANYONE from another units on any cadet stuff since ACT in January.

Can we have a NEPEAN banner?

Margaret Allen · 2nd August 2004, 20:13

How about a hair cut, Dean??

comet65 · 2nd August 2004, 20:20

No no no, the band wouldn't like that.

Lettie · 2nd August 2004, 22:21

we commissioned HMAS BALLARAT it's pretty cơol... it was a full ceremonial sunset ceremony, i was a car dơor opener for all the dignitaries (sp?) right in the miđdle of the parade... nice and shmick!

Bub · 2nd August 2004, 23:44

What is BALLARAT? a FFG?

funkyfairy · 2nd August 2004, 23:51

I missed out on the HMAS YARRA commissioning because I was in the car on my way to a friend's place on the Central Coast and he wouldn't let me out of the car..dammit...

Oh and BALLARAT is an ANZAC

Bubblehead · 3rd August 2004, 00:29

yeah Bub.... BALLARAT is the younger sister to TE KAHA and TE MANA

hartleymartin · 3rd August 2004, 00:35

Ranks on sleeves. I think that only our WSC has rank on his arms at the moment, because we had a supply of PO's insignia. I'll still be wearing my LS SRIs that day, because I can't get my hands on a suitable rank badge.

Just a little note, the Australian Army Cadet Band Sydney will be performing there, and there are bound to be quite a number of the Nasho's Association there too. If you see an army band with one sailor in the drum corps, you know that it is me!

No-one is wearing those collars on their Utility Jackets? Good!

Bubblehead · 3rd August 2004, 00:42

The Army Cadet band is playing????????? Since When??????????????

The Royal Australian Navy Band is playing for the March. Why would we get an Army Cadet band to play at a Naval Reunion when we have the finest military band in the southern hemisphere playing?

Don't make any sense to me...... hmmmm can't see them in the order of parade either. *shrugs*

stefcheng · 3rd August 2004, 07:47

maybe really, they are playing with lego on the side... lego is sooo cool!! hehe

hartleymartin · 3rd August 2004, 12:04

There was an open offer to uniformed bands before the RAN band confirmed that they were marching. Can't they get away with it - I mean, there is almost always a sailor in the ranks in that band!

comet65 · 3rd August 2004, 23:53

I think its pretty stupid that the pongos are playing, navy dummer or not, its a NAVY thing. I'm all for tri-service, but this is the National NAVAL Reunion, not some joint service BS.
