  9. Coming Aboard/Departing Ship • Coming on board • Stop at the top of the accommodation ladder or gangway, face the colors, render a salute, after which the officer of the deck should be saluted • After saluting the officer of the deck, say “I request permission to come aboard, sir.” • Departing the ship • Same salutes rendered in the opposite order • Before leaving, salute the officer of the deck and say, “I request permission to go ashore, sir.”

  10. Boat Etiquette • The junior always embarks first and disembarks last • When embarking, juniors always sit in the forward part of the boat

  11. Cleanliness • Maintain your spaces • Properly stow your gear • Personal effects should be put away, clothing hung in lockers, shoes placed in drawers, desks clean or neatly stowed

  12. Wardroom Etiquette • The wardroom is the officer’s seagoing home • Observe ordinary rules of propriety, common sense, good manners, etc… • Always remove your cover upon entering the wardroom • Never place it on a table • If out of uniform do not lounge around

  13. Be punctual for all meals • If an officer is late for a meal, an apology should be made to the senior officer at the table by stating, “Request permission to join the mess, sir.” • Never choose a place at the wardroom table until you are sure of seating arrangements (which seats are reserved for department heads, etc…) • All officers should remain standing until all guests and the senior member of the mess are seated

  14. Do not be boisterous or noisy in the wardroom • Do not loiter there during working hours • Be clear of the wardroom at least 30 minutes before the meal – allow the MS’s time to set up on time • Do not leave magazines or papers adrift, etc… • Do not sleep in the wardroom. Additionally, no feet on the furniture, etc.

  15. Clean up after yourself. The wardroom should always have a neat and orderly appearance. A messy wardroom reflects poorly upon the ship. • Always rise when the commanding officer, squadron commander, or a flag officer enters the wardroom, unless in the process of eating – then follow the lead of the senior member at the wardroom table. • Observe good table manners • A junior pursues the correct course by being the best listener in the mess; the senior officer, by setting the example in manners, consideration, and intelligent conversation.

  16. Grooming Standards • Follow fleet regulations

  17. Smoking • Forbidden in certain areas designated by the ship. • Typically have specifically designated smoking areas

  18. Fraternization • Unduly familiar relationship that does not respect differences in rank and grade, etc… • Examples: Dating, sexual intimacy, private business partnerships, etc… • Maintain thoroughly professional relationships AT ALL TIMES. • Social interaction with officers and enlisted personnel is expected and necessary. However, avoid fraternization at all costs.

  20. Other Do’s and Don’ts • Use proper titles when addressing personnel (CPOs and POs) • Exhibit competent and good military bearing AT ALL TIMES • Just because you’re off watch doesn’t mean you’re in the rack • Go to Nav briefs, pre-fire briefs, Sea and Anchor detail, watch UNREPS, etc… • This is your time to learn and ask questions

  21. Safety • If you try to go down a ladder without using the handrails, it may be your last trip • Read and heed all warning signs, alarms, and instructions • NEVER enter unmarked spaces or voids alone • Don’t turn valves, push buttons, or flip switches unless it is part of your watch duties and you’ve been trained and understand what you are doing. • If you don’t know what it is, don’t touch it.

  22. NEVER venture onto the weather-decks at night while underway or in heavy seas. • It could be your last time to do it. • Know how to get to your GQ station or first aid station in complete darkness. Know all the exits for emergency egress. Know your way to the weather-decks. • Know where your personal emergency gear is located (EEBD, Mark V gas masks, EAB). • In an emergency, a cool head and common sense will prevail.
