Naval Cadets are appointed to the Cadet Training Ship of the RoyalNavy for at least 12 months.

During the period of 12 months instruction, a Naval Cadet is subjectgenerally to the same regulations as Naval Cadets, R.N. He will be regardedas on probation and may be required to be withdrawn at any time if, in theopinion of the Minister (1) he fails to reach a satisfactory standard; or (2)his conduct is unsatisfactory; or (3) he is considered unsuitable for the NavalService.

r The instruction of Naval Cadets comprises seamanship, signals, naviga-\ .on, pilotage, gunnery, torpedo, and engineering.

Seagoing training is given in the seagoing tender attached to the TrainingShip.

6. During the last three months in the Training Ship, Naval Cadets wUIbe permitted to volunteer to specialize in engineering and will be selected tospecialize in this Branch, according to the requirements of the Service. TheCadets selected to specialize in Engineeering will, after leaving the TrainingShip, be sent to the Royal Naval Engineering College, Keyham, England, toattend a course which will last in all 4 years, divided into 12 terms. The first11 terms (three and two-thirds years) will be spent at Keyham, and the finalterm in H.M.S. Vernon.

Officers undergoing the Keyham course will adv,ance in rank correspond-ingly with contemporary executive officers. . .

/

The Midshipmen selected to specialize in engineering will separate, finally,from Executive Officers, and, though remaining in the Military Branch, willforego all right to subsequent reversion to Deck duties, and to Militarycommand.

46

Cadets who do not specialize in engineering, on being :;tdvanced to Midshipman, will continue to receive training with corresponding Officers of the

. Royal Navy until they have passed their examinations for promotion to therank of Lieutenant.

After passing for the rank of Lieutenant, they may be required to serveeither as General Service Officers, or to specialize in Gunnery, Torpedo, Navigation or other special branch. As far as possible Officers selected for specialservice will be allowed to choose the Branch in which they will specialize,subject to the proviso that all branches are satisfactorily filled.

7. After passing the necessary examinations on completing 12 months' I

instruction, Naval Cadets attain Midshipman's rank in their Branch of theService, and, from this point, come under the ordinary regulations for Officer_4of the RC.N. ....

They continue to serve with the Royal Navy for several years in battIe- \ships, battle cruisers, or cruisers, usually in the Mediterranean or Atlantic 1Fleet.

Subsequently, after taking up appointments in Canada in Sub-Lieutenant's or Lieutenant's rank, they perform approximately a third of their servicewith the Royal Navy, and two-thirds of their service in His MajestY'd Canadian ships.

The regulations for promotion of Officers of the Royal 'canadian Navyare the same as those for promotion of Officers of the Royal Navy.

8. Cadets.n whilst serving in the Training Shil!, will receive the leavegranted to Cadets, RN., at the end of each term-usually four weeks approximately at Christmas, Easter, and in the summer.

The travelling expenses of Cadets proceeding on leave are chargeable totheir parents. Advance of the expenses will be made by the AccountantOfficer of the Training Ship, will be charged to the Cadet, and will be payableout of the private allowance made to the Cadet by his parents.

After leaving the Training Ship they receive the leave authorized for oth~rOfficers of the RC.N. whilst on Foreign Service, viz., 30 day,s a year.

Visit Ie Canada for leave.-Free transportation to Canada to visit theirhomes for leave is granted after two years or more service with the RoyNavy. The granting of leave depends, of course, upon the service, etc., :which their ships are employed, but it is probable that Naval Cadets will be \able to visit their homes in Canada about 2! years after entering the Navy. '

9. Particulars of the expenses for preliminary training at the RoyalMilitary College, Kingston, may be obtained from the Commandant of thatInstitution. .

The expenses probably devolving upon the parents of Naval Cadets areas follows:-

(i) Travelling expenses in connection with examination for entry in theRC.N.-The most economical arrangements possible will be made, and it isnot anticipated that such expenseb will be great.

(ii) Transporlatian when proceeding on leave-not covered by the allowances referred to in paragraphs 4 and 8 above.

(iii) Uniform.-Must be supplied by the parent at his own expense.

A list of the outfit required will be forwarded to the paJ'ent of each Cadetwhose entry is approved.

47

Its cost is about $325, and additional uniform necessary on promotion toMidshipman after 12 months' service is about $100 extra.

On reaching the rank of Sub-Lieutenant, an Officer is required to providehimself with the uniform of a Commissioned Officer, and parents should beprepared to assist t.heir son to the extent of about $250 on his promotion toCommissioned rank at about 21 years of age. .

(iv) Private Allowance.-Parents will be required to make on behalf of theCadet a private allowance at the rate of $250 per annum, from the time 0 fjoining the Naval Service until he reaches the rank of Midshipman (i.e., forapproximately 12 months).

This allowance will be utilized to provide for all necessaries incidental tothe Cadet's training, e.g., purchase of books, entertainment, etc., and will, in·AO way be a personal allowance to the Cadet himself.

Private allowance, together with the Cadet's pay of 25c. a day, and th {'allowance for messing, should normally be sufficient to meet his expenses othe Jthan clothing, travell.ing expenses, and expenses when on leave, but should thi 15

not be the case, the deficit, which would probably be of small amount, would

Ibe chargeable to the parent. .

General.-Parents may authorize their sons to receive additional privateallowance whilst in the Training Ship for sightseeing, personal purchases

. ashore, etc. ($5 a month is suggested).

It is undesirable that young Officers should have the control of large sumsof money, and arrangements call be made for travellint; expenses and anymoney which may be required for any special circumstances, to be advancedby the Accountant Officer of the Officer's Ship, with the authority of theCommanding Officer, and recovered from the parent.

On promotion to Sub-Lieutenant, an Officer should be able, with reasonable economy, to meet all his expenses, out of his pay.

10. Cadets will be paid 25c. a day from the date of entry until theybecome Midshipmen, after which date they will receive pay and allowancesof Officers of corresponding rank in the Royal Canadian Navy.
