The Game

[Subdeacon Joe]

I have a question about The Game.  

In the pregame a Midshipman led out a squad of Cadets, and a Cadet led out a squad of Midshipmen.  The Midshipman and Cadet exchanged salutes and handshakes,  then the squads did a right face and marched around to stand on their proper side.

What is that all about?

(Yes, I know that I made a hash of the terms)

OK...found out on a FB forum that it's the "Prisoner Exchange. "
