ANNUAL INSPECTION 27-28 FEBRUARY -- MANDATORY ATTENDANCE FOR ALL HANDS:  February’s drill is our Annual Inspection and attendance is mandatory. Additionally, Cadets that have fallen below the 70% attendance rule will be dropped at February’s drill.

 

bullet

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  Coronado Battalion/Training Ship Bora Bora are two of the largest units in our region. With a unit this size help is always needed to run efficiently. No special skills needed nor time limits or having to formally become an officer just a desire to help one of the best units in the Nation. Please contact the CO for more information.

RE-ENROLLMENTS DUE THIS WEEKEND:    To enroll in a training, your ID card must be valid through the end of the training. The following cadets’ enrollments will come due between now and when summer training occurs. To avoid possible delays in getting you an approved slot at a desired training, we urge you to re-enroll early. For example, if Cadet Smith’s enrollment expires in June 2010, and the Smiths decided to re-enroll the Cadet in March 2010, then Cadet Smith’s enrollment expiration is now June of 2011.

INFORMING OF INTENT TO ATTEND DRILL:  At 1800, the Monday prior to drill, the LPOs are required to notify BATCOM the status of all personnel and if they will be in attendance. In order for this to work Cadets must contact their Squad Leaders BY 1800 ON SUNDAY! Often times it is the Squad Leader contacting their squad. Cadets need to plan accordingly; if you are not going to home on the Sunday before drill or will not be able to call at that time...then call earlier! Or call the day even week before the reporting requirement.

 

bullet

DRILL WEEKEND CHECK IN PROCESS:  Effective immediately, the following reporting procedures are now in effect:

bullet

Leadership cadets report in at 0700.

bullet

Cadets report at 0715 and report to the Quarterdeck, present ID card, salute, and “request permission to come aboard"

bullet

Once permission is obtained, report to one of the 2 tables (Battalion or Training Ship), pay drill fees and turn in medications, coursework, and any other documentation you were required to bring.

 

bullet

COURSEWORK STATUS:  Sea Cadets must turn in at least one assignment per drill (2 for BMR) and League Cadets must turn in three lessons. FAX your assignments to 619-532-9243 and they will be graded before drill. If you are missing course work, please e-mail the Training Officer at nscctraining@coronadobattalion.org.
