Military Drill:

            Military drill is an integral part of every midshipman's experience at Leonard Hall.  The purposes of military drill include:

Moving a unit from one place to another in a standard (uniform) manner.

Teaching discipline by instilling habits of precision and automatic response to orders and commands.

Increasing the confidence of midshipmen through the exercise of command by giving proper commands and by the control of drilling midshipmen.

Building morale by developing a team spirit and unit pride.

Giving midshipmen the opportunity to handle drill rifles.

Understanding and correctly executing the basic drill positions and movements are a necessary part of military life.  Leonard Hall's drill curriculum focuses on developing personal skill and coordination, building team skills, leadership, and self-discipline.  Midshipmen learn the manual-of-arms with the rifle, and marching techniques and close-order drill with and without arms.

High School Naval Program (Naval Science):

In addition to drill and marching, high school students receive academic instruction in the following:

Naval orientation.

The Nation and the Navy.

Naval history.

Leadership.

Navigation.

Maritime geography.

Oceanography.

Basic seamanship.

Ship construction and damage control.

Naval ships, aircraft, and weapons.

Naval operations, communications, and intelligence.

Middle School Naval Program:

The middle school students receive fundamental orientation into Naval customs, traditions, and leadership along with their drill classes.  The Leonard Hall environment stresses leadership, and military protocol, courtesy, and appearance.

Competitives:

A long-standing tradition of Leonard Hall is intramural squad drill competition, called Competitives.  Three times a year (Fall, Winter and Spring) Leonard Hall formally conducts a ceremonial personnel inspection and drill competition.  This is an opportunity for the midshipmen to demonstrate their acquired skills to their peers, faculty, parents, and the public.  Leonard Hall's Navy sponsor participates in these evolutions by providing inspectors, judges, and sometimes facilities at the local Naval Air Station.

Military Performance Record:

A record is maintained of each Midshipman's military achievements and disciplinary documents.  A midshipman and his or her parents/guardian may examine the record on the secure part of the school home page, to be available during the school year. The record is used for promotion boards, referral/expulsion proceedings, or consideration for special programs.

Battalion Organization

1. General:

Leonard Hall's student body is organized with a student Battalion Commander and Executive Officer, Staff Officers, Company Commanders (one each for high school and middle school), Platoon Leaders, and Squad Leaders.  Midshipmen may also participate in the color guard or drill team.

 B.    Uniform and Grooming Standards

Uniform Regulations and Standards:

General:  The uniform is an important element in the morale, pride, discipline and effectiveness of the program at Leonard Hall.  It is vitally important for midshipmen to maintain a high standard of dress and personal appearance - the key elements are neatness, cleanliness, bearing, and image.  Because Leonard Hall students are easily identified as a result of the uniform, the highest of standards must be maintained at all times.  The uniform may be worn by midshipmen on special occasions outside the school but normally shall only be worn in school or on school-related functions and while going to and from school.  It is inappropriate to wear the uniform, or parts of the uniform otherwise.  Uniform articles are not to be worn with civilian clothing.  All midshipmen are required to wear the uniform during the school day and may only 'change out' into civilian clothes with permission of the Battalion Director or Commodore.

            The military uniform is a symbol of the nation's defense forces.  It projects an image which reflects not only on the wearer, but also on the school.  The word "uniform" is derived from two Latin words: 'unus' and 'forma,' which mean "one form."  Thus the word "uniform" suggests a distinctive form of dress.  In ancient times military dress acquired a certain degree of sameness which over the centuries may have changed in design but remained the same in concept.  Thus, we can assign the origin of the military uniform to an early date in western civilization.

            The uniform worn by Leonard Hall Naval Academy Midshipmen is the same as that worn by active duty Navy personnel, with a few exceptions.  Midshipmen do not wear commissioned officer rank insignia, sleeve braid, or enlisted cloth shoulder insignia; they do wear insignia which designates them as Leonard Hall students. Our students are obligated to wear the uniform properly and proudly, and in so doing, uphold the dignity of the Navy, Leonard Hall, fellow midshipmen, and themselves.

            Grooming standards are based on several elements, including neatness, cleanliness, safety, military image, and appearance.  The standards set forth below are reasonable, enforceable, and ensure that midshipmen personal appearance reflects favorably on Leonard Hall Naval Academy.  Parents as well as students are obligated to support these standards.  Correct grooming and cleanliness are integral parts of the military persona and reflect the honor accorded anyone wearing the uniform.

            Uniforms shall be kept clean, with all devices and insignia bright and free from tarnish and corrosion.  Shoes shall be kept in good condition and polished.

            Covers are required outdoors except when ordered to uncover, or during religious services which are not associated with a military ceremony.  While the cap is not normally worn indoors, it may be required during Competitives or special ceremonies.

Wearing of the Uniform: 

            While in the Leonard Hall uniform, midshipmen are not official members of the United States Navy. Anyone impersonating a member of the Navy is committing a Federal crime and will be appropriately disciplined by Leonard Hall, if not the Federal Government.  Overall, the tenets of the U.S. Navy uniform regulations, as modified by this Handbook, control the wear and use of the uniform.

            Summer uniforms will be worn from the first day of each new school year until a date in the fall designated by the Commodore, at which time midshipmen will switch to winter uniforms.  Students will return to the summer uniform in the Spring at a date designated by the Commodore.

            The 'day' or working uniform is worn daily to classes, and the dress blue uniform is worn at special occasions as determined by the Battalion Director or Commodore.

            Only uniform items prescribed in this handbook and the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) Field Manual, sold in the Ship's Store or Navy Exchange, or authorized by the Battalion Director may be worn.  Specific modifications to Leonard Hall uniforms may be authorized by the Battalion Director for the drill team or performing units (e.g., helmets, ascots, etc.).  While Leonard Hall emulates the NJROTC, the school is not Navy-certified and does not follow each and every one of their uniform regulations.)  Uniformed midshipmen may not participate during or in connection with political activities, private employment, or commercial interests that imply official sponsorship of the activity or interest, or at any other occasion when wearing the uniform would discredit Leonard Hall Naval Academy or the Navy.  Questions regarding the appropriateness of wearing the Leonard Hall uniform should be addressed to the Battalion Director.

Tag-Day (Civilian) Clothes: 

Occasionally students are authorized to wear Tag-Day clothing to school or to school functions.  The Commodore will announce the event and will specify the type of clothing permitted (normally BDU or P.E. uniforms).  If civilian clothing is authorized, apparel or jewelry with language or depictions that are vulgar, offensive in terms of any reference to sex, race, national origin or religion, discriminatory, or obscene or that promote or depict weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, drug paraphernalia, violence, or gang symbols are prohibited.   Clothing should fit, be neat and clean, and conform to standards of safety, decency, and good taste.  Clothing that exposes cleavage, private parts, the midriff, or undergarments or that is sexually provocative is prohibited.  Examples include, but are not limited to: sagging or low-cut pants, low-cut necklines that show cleavage, tube tops, halter tops, backless blouses or blouses with only ties in the back, clothing constructed of see-through materials, spiked hair, 'Goth' clothing, open-toe shoes, sandals, flip-flops, or heels.
