Parent Group Announcement

HELLO PARENTS!

It's that time of year again!!!

We'll be entering a busy season soon, with events such as the Armed Forces Week Opening Day Ceremony, War of 1812 Ceremony, and lots of fun and rewarding experiences for our cadets and leaguers!

And we'd like to welcome new cadets to join in these experiences.

We can always use an extra hand at these events, helping to promote our program and making these events a success.

We'll be contacting parents who have previously submitted a Parent Support/Volunteer Questionnaire to see if you are still interested in helping out.

Any amount of time you can spend with us organizing, preparing and assisting in events is greatly appreciated.

You may contact me at 675-2370, or noraa987@verizon.net

Another Note to ALL PARENTS

Parents,

To the extent that it is possible, we will have qualified medical personnel aboard for overnight drills. We will need documentation for any medications to be administered during drill. Please use form NSCTNG025 to accompany any prescription medication that your child will bring with them. This form requires a doctor’s signature. Immediately upon reporting, medication and proper paperwork must be turned over to the commanding officer or his designee by the parent or guardian. Any cadet found in possession of medication; prescription or otherwise, will be subject to disciplinary action. Parents are required to recover any remaining medication or containers before your cadet are dismissed. These are the regulations that we are directed to follow and we will make all reasonable accommodations; within our power, to see that your child is cared for. Thank you for your cooperation, and if you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me.

LT John D. O’Neil

Commanding Officer

The Sullivans Division USNSCC

Important issues that need to be Addressed.

This is another overview of many important points that need to be reviewed.

Medications/ Drug Awareness – We can not dispense medications on a regular basis. However; We must be aware if any cadet is on a medication. Cadets can not have medication in their possession at any time.

If your child requires this you need to contact LT O'Neil prior to drill.

Attendance –This is part of Commitment – If the cadet requires an excused absence they must use their chain of command prior to drill.

Medical Forms – (NSCADM 020 Medical History, NSCADM 021 Medical Exam) – on the Division website: www.sullivansdivisionusnscc.org

Uniforms –This is part of Honor- Appearance should be impeccable. No stains or wrinkles. Correct lengths, sizes, shoes shined. No missing parts at any function – especially at Parades/Memorials.

Changes in Contact Information – It is imperitive that you notify your OIC as soon as you have any changes in contact information so they inturn can notify the Admin Officer as soon as possible.

ID Card – Cadets should have this on their person at all times during drill weekends and always know where it is when not at drill.
If a Cadet comes to Drill without his/her ID especially at the NOSC they will be Denied entry into the NOSC and their parent(s) will be called to come back and pick them up.
