U is for Uniform in ABC Wednesday

Wikipedia defines Uniform like this:
A uniform is a set of standard clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity. Modern uniforms are worn by armed forces and paramilitary organisations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons. In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in some of their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects.
Below I have collected some pictures captured of Nordic Naval Cadets at an arrangement that coincided with the Tall Ship's Races in Bergen this year.

Swedish cadets at attention.

Even the future Naval officers can turn a corner...

Today's post is part of the the third round of ABC Wednesday. The founder, Denise Nesbitt, has changed the rules to make the system more practical. There is now a no-comment blog where you can post a copy or short version of your post with a link-back to your original post for the full version and comments. Scanning through this no-comment blog will give you lots of Utilitarian Us. She has also set up a site where you can log on via Mr. Linky if you want to do that.
