Royal Navy Passing Out Parade (1985) Part 1

[richardvp1]

In the words of my old PO, what the flying f**k is going on!! This is no passing out parade. It's bleedin' shambles!!!!!!

[cooking23]

that officer is a knob, needs to practice his speech

[juggernautwhale]

[steve4770]

[lejeune1000]

beautiful ceremony!!!!!!!!!!

[TashkentFox]

I was born exactly 5 years and a day after this.

[ALSHARPTON69]

The Ladies of the Royal Naval Reserve all look like professional models

[ivanjelical]

They weren't RNR they were WRENS as was

[bigrider2806]

@ivanjelical that what they still should be , wrens ! bloody pc world !

[costateguise]

@ALSHARPTON69 ...wouldn't say all :s

[JoRowlingRocks]

That speech is very similar to the one that was read out at my brother's passing out parade last Friday =P Fisgard 02 Starboard Class! Funny how things stay so similar!

[TASigs]

fucking bum-bandits

not to mention the sprogs shuffling aound

[ZombieDavidBowie]

numpty

[neilbrown100]

How come their white fronts were black back then?

[ivanjelical]

It was winter dress we wore navy blue sweaters instead of white fronts, I'm not sure if thats changed now.

[beastatlay]

Also: excellent drill compared to the gash we see these days...well done to all those young matelots!

[thomas9919]

Your an idiot. My big brother passed out august of last year and I can tell you from personal experience, it certainly wasn't a load of 'gash' as you put it. Your glory days may be over my friend, but ours aren't.

[chunder123]

to some people this kind of thing is meaningless.

[ssbn03]

Who cares?

[vallancem]

not to my family-thanks

[ConCon75]

my dad passed out in 85. XD

[thatkidinthegreenhat]

I really wish the British Empire was still here. Hopefully the Royal Navy will become a blue water navy soon.

[amci06042]

Royal Navy is still Blue Water Navy. Not as great as before but still blue water capable. Still on the top 5 Navies in the world.

[ConfederateTanker1]

Do you no who is on the top 5 navy list besides the U.S. and the U.K.?

[amci06042]

Some may argue but here it is: US, Russia, UK, Japan and France

[ConfederateTanker1]

thanks

[TheBDO]

Russia would come first.

[lexalolsicnh]

british isnt the bigest navy. but its the most skilled and highly trained.

[65476546]

well the Canadian Army is the best trained in the world

[Wannabetrixters]

we where talking about navy, and the best soldiers in the world (in amount of training) is the royal marines.

[65476546]

no the Canadian Armed Forces are better than the damn royal marines. do some research

[65476546]

thats where you're wrong, the Canadian armed forces are the best trained not the Royal Marines

[Wannabetrixters]

Canadian special forces might better than the royal marines but not the army. no army is better than the royal marines. there are bigger armies. but not better armies. there are bigger navy's than the RN but not better navy's.

[65476546]

Joint Task Forces (JTF2) not Canadian special forces

[fayik123]

you think so do you? HAve you seen these videos in youtube of british forces fooling around and just treating the military like it is some kind of dodge. This isnt a proffesional military. THey are just pissing around on these videos like the some practical joke.

[bigmarv1986]

who do you think you are? we are professional in the navy and maybe why some of the lads make funny videos is a thing called morale.

im in the navy and its a bit shit when you are at sea for months on end and when some of the lads make a funny vid it boosts morale.

the lads what i serve with would happily do anything for this country.

[Sizzle3003]

LOL CANADIAN ARMY BEST?!?!?! LOL!!!!

[beastatlay]

The RN has been a "blue water" navy for the last 600 years. Do you think the likes of Drake, Raleigh and Frobisher spent their time splashing about in the bathtub making battleship noises?

The charts used by the USN, and every other navy on the planet, were plotted by the hydrographers of the Royal Navy over hundreds of years.

[Krylov79]

I was Cunningham 40 Revenge Squadron 1996, indoor passing out parade....

[matelot95]

wet weather routine eh?

[ivanjelical]

very wet!

[B0RCA]

Awsome

[ivanjelical]

You can see my squad come into view at 1.10mins and just see me at the end of a row

[ivanjelical]

We Are Drake 43 class, Revenge Squadron
