Coronado Battalion

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.

WINTER UNIFORM CHANGE INSPECTION:  Cadets are required to bring their Winter dress uniform for inspection this month. This will allow our supply office to ensure fit and availability. This is very important due to the offsite activity in October. Parents expect calls if your cadet does not bring this.

RE-ENROLLMENTS COMING UP:    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, and the Smiths decided to re-enroll the Cadet in March, then Cadet Smith’s enrollment expiration is now June of 2009.

INFORMING OF INTENT TO ATTEND DRILL:  At 1800, the Sunday prior to drill, the LPOs are required to notify the Chain of Command the status of all personnel and if they will be in attendance. In order for this to work Cadets must contact their Squad Leaders! 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. If you are unsure as to who your Squad Leader is or are unsure on the phone number; then visit the website; click on Chain of Command, then click on the link for the PDF password protected Squad List with phone numbers. You will be prompted for the password which is on the back of your ID card (UNIT NAME CODE). If you have not been issued an ID, please contact the CO. Let's have a perfect reporting this month!

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

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.
