Announcements

Uniform: Every drill weekend you must bring dungarees, PT Gear and BDU's. We often will be wearing BDU's, so they must be complete and up to regulations!

Unit: Recruiting is most important at this time....we have our new home and we need to double our numbers. Remember that if anyone recruits 2 cadets that stay at least one year you will be awarded 1 free training from NHQ. Recruiting can also gain you a ribbon. If you have ideas on gaining cadets, send them to the XO or CO.

Recruiting: Do you enjoy spending time with friends? Do you like sharing stories of your adventures with Sea Cadets? Why not invite them to the next drill? Have them check our website at www.westmiseacadets.org. If there is interest pass the name along to ENS Troyer or LTJG Troyer or email recruit@westmiseacadets.org. RECRUIT! RECRUIT! RECRUIT!

Communication: Please take care to check your email. There are often emails sent that are important! If you are not receiving emails from the XO and/or CO, please make contact to correct the issue.

UNIFORM NOTE: YOU MUST WEAR THE UNIFORM OF THE DAY. Also note that wearing of Sea Cadet uniforms outside of drill weekends and Sea Cadet Training is not authorized unless approved by the CO.

ADMIN UPDATE: Turn in paperwork and money before Sunday 1200. Don’t forget to check the date on your ID card – renew well in advance. You must have a current ID Card to drill and attend any Sea Cadet Event or Training! If you have a yearly school or sports physical please bring in a copy for your records.

DONATIONS NEEDED: Shoe boxes are still needed!! West Michigan Division can always use supporters…know anyone willing to donate money, time, effort? Send them our way!

POM

The plan of the month contains official information.

Failure to comply or not be aware of the information it contains is considered to be failure to obey a direct order from the commanding officer. Saying "I don't know" wont work.

Each cadet is given a copy of the POM at the end of each drill. If a cadet is absent, the POM is mailed to their home.

Each cadet should also give the POM to their parents so they can also know what's going on. Parents need this information in order to make plans and help you. They cannot do that if they don't have the information.

CHAIN OF COMMAND: If the occasion should arise that you have an emergency, question, or can’t make it to drill or other activities, please contact someone. Remember to use the proper chain of command! That is to contact your ALPO first, and then LPO, and then the training officer and then XO – there is never a reason to contact the CO unless it’s a dire emergency!!!
