Plan of the Day 5 April 2021

4/5/2021

We will drill in person Monday, 5 April at 1900. Uniform is Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I or Type III.

This week's drill will be in person. We will keep with the current format and start immediately with some Flagship event practice while we still have light. We will plan on formal quarters at 2040 at the end of drill. Same intake procedures a last week. 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. Please ensure your parent/guardian signs the 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.

We will continue to review records and ask parents to come in at the beginning or end of drill to sign required forms. If you took home forms last week please have them signed before you come to drill. For parents, please visit our annual inspection page for information and to download forms to fill out ahead of time if able.

We have to finalize Flagship participation today as we have to send in the roster and pay for the participants. All Flagship forms need to complete tonight as well. Visit our Flagship page for more information. The date is Saturday 24 April. Muster will be at the Division as early as 0600, be prepared. I advertised the cost per cadet at $30.00 verbally but may have indicated in writing elsewhere that it was $35.00. I apologize for the confusion and will make it official at $30.00 regardless of what is written before. Anyone who paid $35 and what's a refund, please let me know.

The April POM should be available by the end of the day.

Again the uniform is NWU. Bring your parka or fleece liner as it may be chilly and windy and we will primarily be outdoors. If your uniform no longer fits, bring it in to exchange, this includes Dress Whites as we will need them in May. We will try to accommodate as many uniform updates as possible but will take care of the new recruits first. 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:
