DRILLS

Drills  

Every unit is required to conduct a specific number of drills each year.  The James M Hannan Division drills on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.   Drills are often suspended during the month of July, when cadets are out at training.  Drill days are occasionally changed due to holidays.  Drill dates are listed on the Unit's calendar.
​
Drills begin and end on time.  Parents are asked to have their cadets there on time and pick up their cadet within 10 minutes of the scheduled end of drill.  Parents are discouraged from picking up cadets early and disrupting the discipline of the drill routine. However, parents are always welcome to observe drills and final muster. The Commanding Officer (CO) is usually available at the end of each drill to talk with parents.

What to Bring  

Each NSCC/NLCC unit has its own unique drill routine. Cadets should always wear the appropriate uniform of the day and carry their cadet ID card.  The unit’s officers and instructors will establish any other requirements for meals, snacks, special equipment or course material. This type of information is communicated through the Plan of the Day. 

Plan of the Day  

​Every good team must know how to communicate. The way that our officers communicate with parents and cadets before each drill is through the Plan of the Day (POD). The POD provides the drill's schedule, appropriate uniforms and a list of any special requirements or other pertinent information for activities and events. 

It is very important that parents and cadets read the POD as soon as it is received.  There is no excuse for not knowing the information contained in the POD.  If a POD is not provided, parents should contact the unit’s Commanding Officer or other designated representative.   The POD is also available on the website and Connect Facebook page.
   
  Attendance  

Attendance at drills is one of the Annual Inspection criteria for each unit, so cadets are required to attend 75% of the unit’s regular drills.  See the unit’s Commanding Officer to discuss needs for excused absences.

The cadet or parent should submit an Absence form more than 48 hours in advance.  If less than 48 hours call the Executive Officer (XO) or other official as designated by the CO when it is necessary to miss a drill. If the XO is unavailable, the chain of command should be followed until someone is reached.
