Howdy Marines, Staff, Young Marines, Recruits & Our Parents!

We have a Young Marine Drill this Saturday, July 13th, 2024 

  All Young Marines are to arrive in P.T. gear, bring your utilities on a hanger.  Recruits are to arrive in Utilities, Boots and Red National T-Shirt.  If your recruit does not have Utilities or boots, Blue Jeans and Sports shoes are acceptable.  Please check local weather the day before and dress accordingly.  

We will be performing a split schedule in the morning.  Remember to contact Gunny Bell if your Young Marine / Recruit is going to miss drill.  Unexcused absences will eliminate the possibility for earning the Perfect Attendance Ribbon and failure to attend two drills prior to an encampment will eliminate your Young Marines opportunity to attend said encampment.

More to Follow!

Remember to E-Mail or Text me if your Young Marine or Recruit is going to miss YM Drill.  This will constitute an Excused Absence for the Perfect Attendance Award if not over 3 Excused Absences.  Also Remember, Your Young Marine Needs to be in Attendance at least 2 Drills prior to any Field Trip or Encampment in order to accompany the Young Marines on scheduled Field Trips or Encampments.

Recruits, in addition to this requirement, will be qualified by Registered Adults as to ability to act properly as a Young Marine!
