military readiness of the graduates.
Subsequently,
the Commander of the Royal Navy of Oman, the chief guest, distributed

of loyalty, proclaimed the call of support, and chanted three times for His
Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, the Supreme Commander. The Royal Army of Oman
Music Band then played the salute of honor, after which the column commander
stepped forward to request permission from the chief guest to dismiss the
parade ground, whereupon the column of graduates passed in front of the main
dais in quick march, and the music band performed various musical and military
compositions.
The
occasion was attended by a number of senior officers of the Sultan’s Armed
Forces, a number of officers, non-commissioned officers, and personnel of the
Royal Army of Oman, as well as a number of parents of the graduates.
