The first piece of cake is always traditionally given to the guest of honor, the second to the oldest Sailor present. Upon receiving the second piece of cake, the oldest Sailor will in turn pass it on to the youngest Sailor signifying the passing of experience and knowledge from the old to the young. The Hospital Corps celebrated their 117th birthday this year.
