Chaos is led by the Mass Committee, a group democratically elected by the members of the Mass (with the exception of station rooms) but usually approved by the commander or RSM. The unit commander has veto power over the mess, and any changes or events must have his approval. The commander is left in any mess (because they all belong to him legally), but it is often seen as an abuse of power, inappropriate behavior, or a disruption of command for a commander to drink in a low-level mess unless invited on special occasions. Members of the Canadian Forces are usually welcome at any mess in their respective rank group, regardless of the element; Thus, a regimental sergeant of an infantry battalion is welcome in a mass of chiefs and masters (regardless of the rivalries between the services). Staff of a different grade (unless otherwise specified below) must request permission to participate; This may be granted by the Chairman of the Show Committee, his representative or the high-ranking member present. The German Navy calls its fairs fairs, with the distinction Offiziermesse. Land fairs are also called officers` masses. Confusion in the Canadian Armed Forces generally follows the British model (see United Kingdom below), from which most traditions are derived. The ground rules for establishing and managing chaos are contained in the King`s Orders and Regulations[1] and the Canadian Forces Administrative Orders.

[2] Mess dress is the military term for formal evening dress worn to Mass or other formal occasions. It is also known as a measuring kit. Mass dress would be worn on occasions requiring a white tie or a black tie.

In most U.S. Navy coastal installations, galleys (formerly known as enlisted dining rooms in the 1970s and early 1980s) provide sailors (and, where appropriate, recruited marines) ashore and, optionally, recruited sailors) aboard ships while in the port of these facilities. Officers may use these facilities if they have the status of „duty officer“ (e.g.

Squadron Service Officer, Command Officer, etc.) under the pretext of „inspection/sampling“ of the mess. Mrs. Vivian had barely spoken when the small high-pitched vibration of her doorbell could be heard in the hallway. Most bases and stations have three fairs (officers, non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers, as well as younger ranks). Many of these facilities have tenant units (such as air squadrons, army regiments, etc.) that also have their own fairs. All of Her Majesty`s Canadian ships have three chaos on board; this extends to Naval Reserve divisions and other naval coastal installations with the title HMCS (see Stone Frigate). Due to limited budgets and dwindling revenues, many Chaos have been forced to close or merge: for example, at CFS St. John`s, the junior chaos of the Newfoundland Militia District, whose members have moved to the lower ranks of the station; The station`s officers` mess and officers` and sergeants` fair later merged. The root of the confusion is the Old French mes, „portion of food“ (cf. modern French mets), derived from the Latin verb mittere, meaning „to send“ and „fix“ (cf.

modern French mettre), the original meaning being „a course of a meal put on the table“; cf. also the modern Italian portata with the same meaning, past participle of portare. This sense of disorder, which appeared in English in the 13th century, was often used especially for cooked or liquid dishes, as in the „mess of pottage“ (porridge or soup) or the Eton mess. Then they all stood up in unison and began to move around the furniture towards the room, Goliath followed him. The United States Coast Guard follows the U.S. Navy model for brass installations on water and on land in terms of galleys demarcation for Petty Officer First Class (E-6) and below, Chief Petty Officer mess for Chief Petty Officer (E-7) to Petty Officers (E-9), and station rooms for officers. The only exception is that due to its small size, there are very few Coast Guard clubs aboard the Coast Guard and those that do exist are generally „bare-handed“ facilities. But instead he opted for a very visible affair with a music hall star. In the U.S. Marine Corps, shore-based restaurants are commonly referred to as „kitchens“ or „chow rooms.“ When embarked on warships, Marines and non-commissioned officers with the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) and below use the same decks as sailors at the rank of Sergeant First Class (E-6) and below, while Staff Sergeants with the rank of Artillery Sergeant (E-7) and above eat their meals at Chief Petty Officer Mass (CPO). Separate clubs of non-commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers and officers continue to exist at Marine Corps coastal facilities, modelled on the Navy, CPO and officer clubs. Chaos (also known as the measurement bridge aboard ships) is a designated area where military personnel socialize, eat, and (in some cases) live.

The term is also used to refer to groups of military personnel belonging to separate fairs, such as the officers` mess, the chief petty officer`s fair, and the recruited mess. In some civilian societies, this military use has been extended to the meal arrangements of other disciplined services such as the fire brigade and the police. In a naval or military installation, there is usually two or three chaos: as in the United Kingdom, Canadian chaos is led by the Mass Committee, a group democratically elected by the members of chaos. One exception is warships, where the chairman of junior ranks is appointed by the commander. The members of the committee are generally the same as those of their British counterparts, with the addition of special representatives for issues such as sport, housing, morals, etc. These positions are usually set forth in the Mass Constitution, which establishes statutes, regulations, and guidelines for things such as the conduct of mass assemblies, associated memberships, dress codes in chaos, or chaos reserved by civil organizations. Chaos members vote on the constitution and all amendments. When you join the military, you will get to know the showroom, also known as the fair. There is often a separate area for officers, known as the officers` mess. The term comes from an ancient sense of disorder, „eating for a meal.“ In the officers` mess and the JCO club, there is also the rank of Havildar Mess. A Havildar Mess is a Senior Sergeant who manages and executes the day-to-day activities of the fair/club.

At sea, aboard warships, the brass is always separated, E-6 and below using the ship`s measuring decks, E-7 to E-9 using the ship`s CPO chaos, and the officers being part of the station space. Some large ships (e.g., aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships) may also include a first-class display for E-6, usually a separate dining room adjacent to the decks. This is seen as a chance for future CPOs to learn how to be part of a mess before entering the CPO chaos, often referred to as the „goat closet“. Recruited staff usually receive all meals at a seemingly free cost, but actually subsidize their meals by losing their basic subsistence allowance (BAS), also known as „suburban rations“, although chief masters may also have a mess buy-in or a monthly measurement bill equivalent to the BAS. For ships with Marine Corps embarked personnel, non-commissioned officers of the E-7, E-8 and E-9 classes will also be part of the CPO mess. Officers retain their BAS, a lump sum allowance that is much lower than the grade amount paid to recruited staff; However, they have to pay for all their meals while swimming out of pocket. This is usually a mess that „joins“ as a member of the agent mess and usually has a monthly counting bill or buys meals using some sort of debit card. The governor went upstairs and found Juan de Messa in the hall.

All members of the Canadian Armed Forces, whether Regular Force or Reserve, must belong to a mess and are designated as regular members of their respective mess. Although they are generally owned by the federal government, Chaos has been ordered to comply with legal laws regarding the minimum drinking age in their province. For example, an 18-year-old soldier is legally allowed to consume alcohol in chaos in Quebec, but not in Ontario, where the legal age is 19.
