Anchors Aweigh
Stand Navy out to sea,
Fight our battle cry;
We’ll never change our course,
So vicious foe steer shy, y, y, y;
Roll out the T.N.T.;
Anchors aweigh;
Sail on to victory,
and sink their bones to Davy Jones hooray! Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores.
We sail at break of day, day, day, day.
Through our last night ashore.
Drink to the foam.
Until we meet once more.
Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.
Ooh, rah, ___ (Division #)
Go Navy!
Smooth Sailing

Honor
“I will bear true faith and allegiance…”
Accordingly, we will:
-Conduct ourselves in the highest ethical manner in all
relationships with seniors, peers, and subordinates;
-Be honest and truthful in our dealings with each other,
and with those outside the Navy;
-Be willing to make honest recommendations and to
accept those recommendations from junior personnel;
-Encourage new ideas and deliver the bad news, even
when it is unpopular;
-Abide by an uncompromising code of integrity, taking
responsibility for our actions and keeping our word;
-Fulfill or exceed our legal and ethical responsibilities
in our public and personal lives 24 hours a day. Illegal
or improper behavior or even the appearance of such
behavior will not be tolerated. We are accountable for
our professional and personal behavior. We will be
mindful of the privilege we have to serve our fellow
Americans
-
Courage
“I will support and defend…” Accordingly, we will:
-Have courage to meet the demands of our profession
and the mission when it is hazardous, demanding, or
otherwise difficult;
-Make decisions in the best interest of the Navy and the
nation without regard to personal consequences;
-Meet these challenges while adhering to a higher
standard of personal conduct and decency;
-Be loyal to our nation by ensuring the resources
entrusted to us are used in an honest, careful, and
efficient way. Courage is the value that gives us
the moral and mental strength to do what is right
even in the face of personal or professional adversity
-
Commitment
“I will obey the orders…” Accordingly, we will:
-Demand respect up and down the chain of command;
-Care for the safety, professional, personal, and spiritual
well-being of our people;
-Show respect toward all people without regard to race,
religion, or gender;
-Treat each individual with human dignity;
-Be committed to positive change and constant
improvement;
-Exhibit the highest degree of moral character, technical
excellence, quality, and competence in what we have been
trained to do. The day-to-day duty of every Navy man and
woman is to work together as a team to improve the quality
of our work, our people and ourselves. Your decision to
become part of a proud organization with a rich,
time-honored tradition is one of the most important you will
ever make. You’ll be a member of a team that functions only
as well as its people perform their duties and work toward
common goals
-
Attention is the most basic of all military positions. When
you stand at Attention you are indicating that you are
alert and ready to receive instructions. When called to
Attention you will bring the heel of your left foot to the
heel of your right foot. At Attention, you stand straight
with your heels together. Your feet will form a 45-degree
angle and your head and body will be erect, hips and
shoulders level, and your chest will be lifted. Your arms
will hang naturally with your thumbs aligned with the
seam of your trousers or skirt. Your fingers will be joined
and allowed to curl naturally. Your legs will be straight,
but do not lock your knees. Your head and eyes should
be directed forward. Your mouth should be closed and
your chin should be tucked in slightly.
-
The command “Parade Rest” is only given when the
formation is at attention. In a single movement, bring your
left foot out to shoulder width and join your hands, right over
left, palms facing away from your body, at the small of your
back.
-
At Ease
When given the command “At Ease” you may relax and move about. While at ease your right foot must remain in place. While in this position you are not allowed to talk
-
Fall Out/Fall In
This command is not the same as Dismissed. “Fall Out” means you are free to break ranks, but you must remain nearby. When given the command “Fall In” return to your place in ranks and come to Attention.
-
Uncover
Some ceremonies and inspections will require you to
remove your cover. The command “Uncover Two” is used to
direct this action. When you hear the command “Uncover”,
raise your hand as you would during the hand salute
but grab the brim of your cover instead of touching your
forehead. When you hear the command “Two” lift your hat a
bit to avoid messing up your hair and then return your hand
to your side in a direct manner. Do not use a sweeping
gesture that is exaggerated. On the command “Cover”,
grasp your hat with both hands and place it firmly on your
head. Drop your left hand, leaving your right hand holding
the brim of the cover until you hear the command “Two”.
You may now drop your right hand to your side
-
Right or Left Face
“Right (left) Face”. At the command “Face”
slightly raise the left heel and right toe. Face the right,
turning on the right heel, putting pressure on the ball of the
foot and holding the left leg straight. Then place the left foot
smartly beside the right one.
-
On the command “Dress Right, Dress”, all division members
except the right flank member turn their heads and look
and align themselves to the right. At the same time, each
division member except the flank member lifts their arm
shoulder high (normal interval), or places their left hand
on their hip (close interval). The right flank member holds
position (stands fast) and looks to the front. The other
division members use the right flank member as a guide
and take short steps as necessary to align themselves
and to achieve the proper interval. Once the alignment is
complete, division members hold their position until the
“Ready, Front” command is given. At this time, division
members snap back to the Attention position.
-
Allignment
The leader has the choice of two commands when he or
she wants the members to align themselves with each
other. The first, “Dress Right, Dress” (normal interval) aligns
members at arm’s length while the second, “At a Close
Interval, Dress Right, Dress” cuts the distance between
members in half.
-
Command: “About Face”. At the command, place the toe
of the right foot about half-foot to the rear and slightly to
the left of the left heel without moving the left foot. Put the
weight of the body mainly on the heel of the left foot, right
leg strait. Then turn to the rear, moving to the right on the
left heel and the ball of the right foot. Place the right heel
beside the left to complete the movement.
