| OFFICER & STAFF NOTES - Commanding Officer - This has been an unusual month and its time we got back on track and to the business at hand. We have a lot of awesome events planned, as well as some work to do. Some HEAVY work. I know we are all capable and its definitely time to step up and get to a great summer, get earning our operating income for the year, and endure some hard work and have some great trainings and incentive events and tours mixed in! The Lilac Parade is a great place for everyone to shine and I expect everyone to look their best! This is why I have called for inspection on the 17th in blues. SEE YOU THERE~! - LTJG MORRIS, CO Executive Officer- I am quite concerned about the participation this month regarding the Poppy Donation Fundraiser. We have limited personnel contributing and this needs to be fixed ASAP! We will discuss this on the 17th to see if we can’t fix it. There is an incentive tour of the airport slated for those who participate. This is a simple way for us to raise money for the unit and keep out of pocket expenses to a minimum. The American Legion has called on our help and we need to give it to them. I DO know this; this will not happen for HOOPFEST! All of us will be participating! Does it not beat doing car washes every other weekend? We need to work on this immediately! - LTJG DAVIS - XO Operations Officer - There's no end to the opportunities in the Sea Cadets, but no one is able (or expected) to do everything that is offered. Cadets and their families are encouraged to carefully plan and coordinate calendars, set priorities, and participate as much as able. The unit can't survive without consistent participation from all hands, but that doesn't mean any cadet needs to spend ALL weekend at Hoopfest (for example). On the other hand, we also anticipate that all cadets would sign up for a minimum of one Hoopfest session, though we know there will be a few who can't do any. We encourage families to find the best pace for their cadet's involvement, a pace that will promote consistent, reliable participation and prevent burnout. As a reminder, the staff is always ready to promote cadet academic success (school). Cadet attendance and participation in drill and other events is a benefit to the cadet, but the participation of cadets is also essential to the unit's success. Because the unit needs the cadets participating, the officers and instructors offer study time during drill, and other services, to help cadets re- establish academic traction. If a cadet is having trouble with grades, we ask that the cadet or parent notify a staff member so support can be provided at drill. This is far superior to cadets missing drill and events, which means the missing cadet's obligations need to be handled by others. Please talk to me or other staff members if you have questions about this. - INST TURCOTT - OPS Training Officer - The summer trainings have been posted. Have a look at http://compass.seacadets. org/ and communicate with me as soon as possible - you know the process - follow your chain of command. It looks like a GREAT set of opportunities this summer. Keep after the coursework, earn the money you need, and be ready! - INST HILLMAN, TRAINING Supply Officer - Please ensure that if you were awarded a ribbon or appurtenance, that you come see me to get it. New supplies are in and there should be no reason any cadet is missing a uniform item or ribbon. We will be shifting to Summer Uniforms at May and June Drill! BE READY! - ENS HARVEY - SUPPLY |
