Cadet Notes
- Drill: No drill on 7 November following Stamford Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony. We will drill Mondays the rest of the month.
- PRT: Our fall Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is past and each cadet must ensure they take or retake the PRT. This is required for advancement and advanced training.
- Veterans Day Parade: We will march in the Stamford Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, 6 November. This is an all-hands effort. Maximum participation is paramount to show our support to veterans and the city of Stamford. Visit our parade event webpage for updates.
- Swim Meet: The meet which normally is in November conflicts with the Veterans Day parade so we will not attend.
- Basket Brigade: Scheduled for Saturday 19 November. Community service hours to assist needy veterans and families during Thanksgiving.
- Wreaths Across America: We will place wreaths at graves of veterans on Saturday 17 December at Union Bedford Cemetery. This is also a fundraising event. Please see the Wreaths page.
- Advanced Training: Many of you are interested in winter training. Keep checking for opportunities on Quarterdeck. Listings are starting to appear on Quarterdeck. Winter training guidance has been released and should be read in its entirety.
- Advancement: Check Quarterdeck often to see your progress toward the next rank.
