What - Cadets will become familiar with the Ship’s routine and an overview of the Navy League Cadet Training Program.

Why - It is important to establish the routine for the cadets so they know what to expect when they arrive for training.

Expectations - At the end of this lesson, cadets will be more familiar with the training program, and will know where to look to find information regarding corps activities.

What are Standing and Routine Orders?

Standing Orders

• Issued by the Executive Officer and contains information and instructions on how the corps should operate (i.e. regular training night routine)

• Kept in ship’s office (administration)

• Assists the officers in how to go about their work
   

Routine Orders

• Issued by the Executive Officer and contains information and instructions for upcoming events (i.e. information for a weekend training activity)

• Posted for all to read

All members must read and understand these orders, or be briefed on them by their Divisional Officer

What is the Ship’s Routine?

A list of timings and events for the normal training night (Handout of corps training routine)

***Are there any questions?***

Tour of the Ship (Facilities)

The remainder of this period should be spent giving a tour of the facilities. Specific mention
should be given to the location of routine orders, all places where instruction is likely to take
place, office spaces, heads, out of bound areas, etc)

***Are there any questions***

CONCLUSION

Randomly ask cadets to identify locations throughout the facilities. Ensure each individual
understands the contents and location of Routine Orders.

If time permits, have the cadets travel in pairs to a selected location. Once there, ask them to
pick up a specific item and return to you. A scavenger hunt serves the purpose, however, extra
time will be necessary to complete the activity.

TESTING

Cadets will be expected to follow the corps training routine without assistance. This is an
ongoing evaluation for all cadets.
