THE WORD IS PASSED 1 , if i33tiairuf', ' 1- ,., '41 3? CAPTAIN AZER DIRECTS I From the top of the ladder ' . . .Through the chain of Command. ROCS had that term pounded into their heads for the entire six weeks by their instructors who strove to impress upon the future ensigns that everything in the Navy must either come down or go up through the proper channels. Every order issued during the I952 ROC session started at the top of the ladder-in some department-and reached the individual ROCS only after coming down through channels. Conversely, any request by a ROC also had to pass through channels before any action would be taken. Most of the orders were, of course, military in nature. Thus, they originated in the office of Commander Keene or Lt. Com- mander Borders. These orders were then passed on to the regimental staff which, in turn, passed them to the various battalion staffs. The Individual ROCS finally got the word when the battalion adiutants read the Orders of the Day dur- ing the different battalion formations. It was alla part of instilling the ROCS with a proper military bearing. I x . fiix t R ' I I CR I , ff R o . . 49 : a ' l 6 ox SQ .
