Petty Officer Murphy

Boy, it seems like it's been a long time since we've had one of those living here!

This January marks Sean's 3rd full year as a Royal Canadian Sea Cadet, and tonight at semi-annual review, he was promoted to Petty Officer, second class. The nice thing is that Sean could theoretically be in cadets another 4 years, so he has the chance to move really far up the rankings!

Here are some pictures of tonight's event. I focused mainly on the guard, so you don't really get a good idea of what the whole corps is like. Sorry : )
Here is the Guard before entering the gym. Sean tried hard to not smile but failed : )
Here is the Guard marching. John Gammeter is the DPO.
