Plan of the Day 18 April 2022

Drill: Monday, 18 April 2022.
Time: 1900.
Uniform: Official Physical Training Uniform.
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 for the official semi-annual Physical Readiness Test (PRT). Uniform is PTU (see picture). For those new cadets that do not have the PTU yet, bring "gym clothing" to run in. Bring any type of sweats as it might be chilly as we are warming up for the PRT. Bring a towel and a bottle of water.
2. I do not have a fixed schedule yet for Monday and hope to be there but as usual the XO and LPO/DPO will take charge of the drill if I'm not there.
3. Stamford Fire Fighters will be on hand to train the firefighting team for Flagship. Training will start as early as 1800 to take advantage of sunlight. Those doing firefighting training will conduct the PRT later in the drill. If you are on the team please reach out to your squad leaders and let them know if you can arrive early so we can firm up the start time fore the fire fighter.
4. Time permitting we will continue practice for Flagship Competition. Bring your IDs as we will collect them and keep them safe until Flagship. If you have misplaced your ID please inform your chain of command as this will be the last day to order a new one to arrive in time for Flagship.
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 if you have not already.  At this time only the primary parent/guardian can have an account. A users guide is available as a link below.   
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.

​​This week in Naval History

• 18 April 1942 - The Doolittle Raid begins with 16 Army Air Force B-25 bombers launching earlier than expected from USS Hornet (CV 8), approximately 650 miles off Japan, after being spotted by enemy ships. It is the first attack by the U.S. of the Japanese mainland since Pearl Harbor. Most of the 16 B-25s, each with a five-man crew, attack the Tokyo area, with a few hitting Nagoya. Embarrassed, the Japanese revise plans and six weeks later attack the American carrier group near Midway sooner than expected.
• 18 April 2009 - USS Stockdale (DDG 106) is commissioned at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, Calif. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is named after Vice Adm. James B. Stockdale.
