Plan of the Day 11 April 2022

Drill: Monday, 11 April 2022.
Time: 1900.
Uniform: NWU Type III.
Always check the Plan of the Day and Plan of the Month links for last minute information and full details. New in the POM are new May events.

1. We will drill at DEALEY Division. Uniform NWU Type III. Be prepared to be outside even if cold. Bring your parka/fleece.
2. I have to work again (sorry) this Monday. The XO and LPO will take charge of the drill.
3. We will practice for Flagship Competition. Please fill out and bring in the Flagship Liability Form of not done already. This is the last drill to confirm attendance.
4. PRT is on 18 April. Also we will have Stamford Fire Fighters on site to help with the Flagship Fire Fighting Competition prior to the PRT.
5. Training opportunities are populating through the list accessible via Quarterdeck and the new parent portal. Recruit Training (Sea Cadet Boot Camp) and League Cadet Orientation (League Cadet Boot Camp) offerings are few at this time. But... Our local Sea Cadet Boot Camp will be 1-9 July at Cape Cod, MA (same place as Flagship) and League Cadet Boot Camp will be 25 Jun - 2 July in Niantic CT. The listings are not available yet to register but flag those dates if your cadet can attend at that time as it is recommended as their primary choice. I understand that summer plans are complex and if those dates don't work, we will help you find a training that works.
6. Parents, the new parent portal is live. Register at here.  At this time only the primary parent/guardian can have an account. A users guide is attached.   
7. Seniors, another NSCC scholarship is available: CAPT Henry J. Nyland USN (ret.) Career and Technical Education Scholarship. See quarterdeck "News and Info" tile for information. Application link here. Application Deadline: Midnight (PST) May 15th, 2022.
8. Please review the Sea Cadet Blog including the Rudder Post. They contain the latest information of all Sea Cadet news and event as well as our DEALEY Blog.
