Hey Sailing is your unit H.M.C.S Chippawa in Winnipeg and if it is then what is your rank? Just curious because I was interested in joining.

Sailing Instructor said:2B is the only rig upon which nametags & undress ribbons are worn. (I think this was a mishap in dress instructions.)
The navy's & army's port should be passed to the left any way you wish. Perhaps the most important rule is that toasts mustn't be drunk with water (unless you want someone to drown, in which case it's perfectly acceptable).
ctjj.stevenson said:Actually, it is acceptable to toast with water nowadays because the Canadian Forces are not permitted to make you drink if you do not want to. My former Commanding Officer doesn't drink, and therefore she has always toasted with water.
I guess that you are correct about 2B being the only uniform that does not allow name tags
Sailing Instructor said:And, hence, persons keep drowning. It does not need to be liquor for a toast, just not water. The army has permitted water toasts for a long while as drowning is not such a problem for them.

It's a naval supersition, perhaps not shared by other elements
