Minister for Defence Simon Coveney T.D. accompanied by the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces Lieutenant General Conor O'Boyle attended the Commissioning Ceremony of ten new Officers at the Naval Base, Haulbowline, Cork on Thursday, 04th September 2014. This was a very important and proud day for the members of the 52nd Naval Service Cadet Class as they are awarded their Presidential Commissions, representing the successful culmination of two years intensive military and nautical training. The ten Cadets completed a very demanding, challenging and rewarding course of basic officer training including diverse subjects such as navigation, seamanship, leadership, communications, marine engineering and naval warfare, while a strategic studies course was completed at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. They also completed sea time experience across the Naval Service fleet and studies at the National Maritime College of Ireland. The Cadets, now Officers were from counties: Wicklow, Wexford, Cork, Clare, Dublin, Carlow and Monaghan. In a departure from tradition, two of the newly commissioned cadets will not receive their first salute as an officer from the Master at Arms but from their fathers who are Non Commissioned Officers in the Defence Forces.
