I got a message from someone asking me if I had received a list of things to bring or something telling us what to wear while we are there. So for the benefit of everyone, I thought I would write about it here.
I was not told anything about what to wear. I did not get a list either. I was told that I should bring a couple of copies of my CV/Resume even though you technically are not required to bring it.
I have the daily schedule for the whole week. It shows every time, location and event that will take place for the whole week.
From what I can see from the schedule and from looking at pictures that others have posted from previous NOABs, I would suggest that we bring two to three different dress outfits (ie suits or at least shirts, ties and dress pants). There is dinner every night in the Dining Hall, but on Thursday night, I gather that there is a more dressed up and formal dinner in the Wardroom. There will be group photos on Monday at 1300. It appears that they are breaking us into groups (1st and 2nd Port Watch groups and 1st and 2nd Stbd Watch are the names they have for the groups). There will be different sittings for the MOST and for Board Interviews and certain tours too. We are on HMCS Regina on Tuesday from 0800 to 1430.
All in all, I am thinking that two to three dress outfits and the rest of the time it would be appropriate to wear business casual.
On Sunday, we have dinner at 1700 - 1800 and then there is a Meet and Greet from 1800 - 2000.
I hope this helps everyone. And if there is someone reading this who knows that I have made a mistake on anything, please correct me so we get things right.
Thanks,
Rob
