Logistics
- Friday muster time is: 1400 (2:00 pm). Travel time is approximately 3.5 hours.
- Muster location is at our normal drill location at 185 Magee Ave, Stamford CT.
- A school early dismissal letter is linked below.
- Cost for this event is $75.00 per cadet.
- We will provide the transportation there and back.
- We will stop for dinner on the way there, typically at Wendy's after the half way point.
- As this is a military base only cadets and registered adults may attend.
- Uniform for travel is NWU Type III. Wear or pack NWU parka and fleece liner. You will need to pack your Dress Blue uniform for the personnel inspection competition.
- Sea Bag list: See link to document below. It will include dress blue uniform. Cadets will wear their NWU Type III for travel. One set of NWU is fine but if you want to add a second that's fine. Please review the attachment thoroughly. The first two pages are meant for easy print out as a checklist. The following pages have more detail so please read all the notes. Please pack conservative and comfortable civilian attire for Saturday night's social event.
- Bring your ID. You will need it to get on base. We have collect IDs and will continue to collect IDs prior to departure to make sure none are lost or misplaced. No wallets or purses are needed, just Sea Cadet IDs which we will keep safe. Cadets who are 18 should bring their state IDs if issued. The less unnecessary items brought means less chance of items being misplaced.
- Bring a canteen and belt. See on option on this Amazon list. Any similar item will do. Olive drab or black color is preferred. Many of you have this item from previous training.
- All cadets will have to bring their own linens or a sleeping bag and a pillow.
- Whether or not it's sunny, sunscreen is advisable.
- No cash is needed at Flagship. We will stop for food on Friday night at Wendy's before we arrive as no dinner will be provided Friday night. Cadets may bring a bag lunch for dinner if they prefer. This year we will pick up the tab for a reasonable size meal for every cadet attending. Cadets will not need cash but if they want to pick up an additional food item on Friday, no more than $10 cash is recommended. Credit or debit cards are also not needed and discouraged. No food is allowed in the barracks so don't bring any snacks. Cadets will receive 3 square meals on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. We do not stop on the way home for food on Sunday so we can get home as soon as possible. They will get a good lunch on Sunday before we leave.
- Cadets may bring a personal mobile phone for the ride up and back but they are not necessary. Once we arrive I will collect all the phones and secure them until we leave. I will contact all parents via email on Sunday when we return for an ETA. Optionally you can send the CO a text/message if email is not optimal for you and the CO will reply with an ETA back to base on Sunday. Do not bring any other electronics as they are prohibited in the barracks. Charging the phones for the trip back might be a challenge and I don't know if the school bus will have any type of charging options. Some charging cables and some battery backups to charge the phones enough to send a text or make a quick call on the way back, will be on hand.
- There will be little time to due homework so I encourage the cadets to get ahead on that front. Please let me know ahead of time if a cadet needs to do some studying on the way up and back and what they need to bring, as space will be limited with all the seabags on the bus.
- The Medical History form and the new COVID form must be up to date. If any cadet has prescription or over the counter medicine they are bringing, the Supplemental Medical form needs to be current. See the Administrative Officer to complete and/or review. All medicine needs to be in a sealable clear bag with the cadets name on it and directions for use of each medicine, even over the counter. A medical officer will be present at the event to administer the medicine. No self-administering is allowed.
- Meals (except Friday night) and berthing will be provided.
- On Saturday night, we will have some fun at the MWR Bowling Alley where pizza will be served and a DJ hired for dancing.
- Departure from Flagship will be Sunday around 1500 with an expected arrival back at 1900.
