Navy Day 2017 4th december

When We Celebrate Navy Day

each 12 months – the 4th of december – is discovered as army day through the indian army.

inside the indian army – the navy day celebrations truly make bigger throughout the entire week wherein the navy day falls – and this week is referred to as the military week.

the military week celebrations are held mainly at mumbai – and on a smaller scale in other naval stations like visakhapatnam, kochi, goa etc – and in landlocked new delhi too.

in mumbai – the navy week celebrations culminate with “beating the retreat” ceremony at gateway of india – and the grand finale is the wonderful military ball at the quit of the week on saturday.

at some point of the navy week the army attempts to show off its competencies to the civilian public with the aid of holding a sequence of combat demonstrations, live presentations, parade drills and events like band live shows.

once in a while – naval households, army veterans and distinguished residents are taken out for an afternoon at sea to study “save window” sporting activities which show salient aspects of the military at sea.

in a nutshell – as some distance as the military is involved – the intention of military day and army week is to show off the army to civilian residents (and vips/vvips)


army day and army week – a sailor’s attitude

this took place a few years in the past – in the 1970’s.

some weeks before army week – duties had been allocated to diverse ships – and our ship became required to present the “continuity drill” display to be held on the gateway of india

the sailors on our ship started their drill exercise one month earlier – and they practised very difficult at least twice a day – even when the deliver became at sea.

as army day approached – the sailors rehearsed day and night time for the “continuity drill” show to be held on the gateway of india throughout military week.

a “continuity drill” is a most unique and hard parade drill because the complete parade drill sequence and moves are to be completed with none phrases of command.

this is why it requires rigorous exercise and repeated rehearsals before it can be perfected.

the sailors were practising with out destroy for over a month – all through running hours – and also in off-operating hours – consisting of on sundays and holidays – in order to ideal the continuity drill.

the sailors’ long hours of painstaking efforts paid off.

the “continuity drill” event changed into a splendid success.

the navy pinnacle brass congratulated our captain at the brilliant overall performance of our ship’s sailors.

after the event – i got here throughout one in all my newly recruited sailors who had taken component in the continuity drill.
