Plan of the Day 22 March 2021

We will drill in person Monday, 22 March at 1900. Uniform is Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I.

Please remember that this week's drill will be in person. We will open with quarters at 1900 so please arrive early. We will have to take everyones temperature before you get out of your vehicle. Also, as we did in the fall, we have to fill out attestation and intake forms. See below to download the forms so you can fill out ahead of your arrival. Regardless we will have forms available on your arrival  If you are driving yourself you must have your parent/guardian sign before you leave home. If you are 18 you can sign your own forms.

As we will have to update forms in your records that require signatures so I ask the parents to stay in their vehicle and come inside, when called, to sign forms before they leave. We may manage the the flow of the paperwork and give the option of some parents to return during the second half of the drill. Regardless all cadets will go home with uncompleted paperwork to return next week. For parents, please visit our annual inspection page for information and to download forms to fill out ahead of time if able.

Parents also check the new Parents Page on Homeport. It's in the "Training" menu.

Again the uniform is NWU Type I. Bring your parka and fleece liner. We will stay outside most of the drill so the parka or fleece liner will come in handy if the weather gets chilly. If your uniform no longer fits, bring it in to exchange. You may wear casual clothing instead. We will try to accommodate as many uniform updates as possible. For the new cadets without uniforms, wear casual clothing appropriate to the forecast temperature. All cadets will wear masks. The following tasks will be accomplished:
