I've tried to find a list of the Recognition Flags that he Divisions can earn but have had no luck. I know my son's Division (150) has earned all four flags along with two pennants. Anyone have any gouge?
You need to be a member of Navy Dads to add comments!
Athletic and scholastic are pretty self explanatory; PT and academics. Star is the compartment flag...the one they get for inspections. The pennants just mean they earned the flag more than once...they get a little pennant to go on the top of the flag. (You'll see them at graduation). There are three phase, but I can't remember the names of them. I think CART, MCA, and the final phase. Pennant for Phase means they're in the final phase...it lets FQA know "Hey, these guys have been here a while and they're almost Sailors...watch them even closer for mess ups" lol and then the Pennant for Independent Steaming means they can march to and from different places without an RDC present.
Then there is the Hall of Fame Flag. This is the “mother” of all flags. This is an overall average of everything done in BC.
This is cool info about flags, listed on the RTC site:
FLAGS: Hall of Fame Flag- Overall average of 4.70 or higher. Must have earned all evaluation flags (including subsequent awards). CNO Honor Division Flag- Overall average of 4.50 or higher. Must have earned at least ONE flag in each evaluated area. Battle "E" Flag- Overall average of 4.35 or higher. Must have earned at least ONE flag in each evaluated area. Compartment Readiness (STAR) Flag- Awarded for obtaining a 4.0 average in compartment cleanliness, locker inspections and bunk make up inspections. Drill Flag- Awarded for receiving a 4.0 or higher on drill assessment. Physical Fitness (A) Flag- Awarded for receiving a 3.50 on first physical assessment and a 4.0 or higher on second assessment. Scholastic (S) Flag- Awarded to divisions which receive a minimum of 4.0 on academic test. Captain's Cup Olympics Flag- Awarded to the division who wins most events during Olympic Competition. Special Flags- Carried by ceremonial units (900's) or sponsored divisions. Personal Flag- Flag which is designed by the division.
