Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center
Forty-nine sailors promoted at Lovell FHCC “frocking” ceremony
Forty-nine sailors from the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center were promoted to their next rank during a “frocking” ceremony Dec. 12.
Leadership at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center promoted 49 sailors in a “frocking” ceremony for non-commissioned officers today.
Frocking is a process of wearing an assumed rank prior to their official promotion. When selected for promotion, but awaiting a “line number” to pin on the new rank, a commander can allow a sailor to assume the new rank early. While the sailor’s pay isn’t updated until their promotional line number is actually released, the ceremony honors them with the wearing of a higher rank.
