At the Navy Supply Corps School on Tuesday, Mar. 18, 2025, students enjoyed an enlightening tutorial in the mock Wardroom with Food Service Instructor Chris Nailon! Retired Master Chief Nailon guided them through the essentials of Wardroom etiquette aboard Naval vessels. From understanding the layout and seating arrangements to mastering the art of folding fancy napkins, the junior officers learned it all! They discovered the significance of the "Buck," the proper use of cutlery, and how to gracefully signal the end of a meal without a word. Beyond dining tips, they explored the Wardroom as a hub for building camaraderie among shipmates. Mr. Nailon encouraged them to engage with officers from all departments, emphasizing that the Wardroom is more than just a dining area — it's a space to connect and forge bonds that strengthen our Navy family.
