ing the Fleet ១១ midshipmen - ROYAL NAVAL VOLUNTEER Last September, among certain expedients to increase the num- bers of sub-lieutenants, it Was necessary to reduce the period
these spent by
cadets in the training cruiser from three terms to two. The longer period is now to be restored.
"Surgn. Lt.-Cary.-R. B. Roberts. M.B. Ch.B.. D.P.H, to Victory (July 21).
A new fleet order states that for the present, however, the Arst term will be spent in H.M.S. Ex- cellent, gunnery, school, where the cadets will be accommodated In
HLM.8. Erebus, turret drillship, and instructed "on similar lines to the batches sent to that ship In January and May, 1937. The second and third terms will be spent in the Vindictive. the nor mal cruises being undertaken. Officers will continue to "spend two years at sea as midshipmen. The additional period spent under training as cadets will de- lay the promotion of the officers concerned to midshipmen, acting sub-lieutenant and sub-leutenant. Since,
however, the reduced periods under training do not affect the date of promotion to leutenant textra time being spent as sub-lleutenant corresponding to the shorter time as cadet) this promotion will not be affected by the change now ordered. The
