In a momentous occasion this evening, Clydebank Sea Cadets had the privilege of witnessing the promotion of their esteemed Commanding Officer, Nadine Daly, from Sub-Lieutenant to Lieutenant. This impressive milestone stands as a testament to Nadine's unwavering dedication and steadfast commitment to cadet delivery.
Nadine's promotion comes as no surprise to those who have had the privilege of working alongside her. Her leadership has been exemplary, guiding and inspiring both staff and cadets alike. As a recipient of the prestigious Capt. Roddie Casement RN sword, awarded to the highest performing commanding officer in the UK, Nadine's promotion further solidifies her reputation as an outstanding leader within the Sea Cadet community.
Proudly officiating the ceremony was our Executive Officer (XO), PO(SCC) Rowan Daly, who had the honour of presenting Nadine with her new epaulettes. The event was a moment of celebration for the entire unit, as both staff and cadets came together to extend their heartfelt congratulations to Lieutenant Daly.
Nadine's promotion serves as an inspiration to all, demonstrating the rewards of hard work, dedication, and a genuine passion for serving the cadets. As she continues to lead with integrity and enthusiasm, the Clydebank Sea Cadets community looks forward to the continued growth and success under her leadership.In the midst of celebrations for Commanding Officer Nadine's promotion to Lieutenant, a light-hearted tradition has emerged at Clydebank Sea Cadets. An amusing bounty was placed - not of gold or silver, but of sweets - for any cadets (or staff!) who inadvertently slip up and addressed Lieutenant Daly by her previous rank.
On behalf of staff and cadets alike, we wish to convey our sincerest congratulations to Lieutenant Nadine Daly. Her promotion is a well-deserved recognition of her exceptional leadership and commitment to the cadets, and we are honoured to serve under her command.
