Serial056: Attendance/ Accountability Commanding Officer
SERIAL 056 US Naval Sea Cadet Corps Portsmouth Naval Shipyard 36 Jady Hill Ave. Exeter, N.H. 03833 MEMORANDUM From: Commanding Officer, Atlantic Seabee Battalion, N.S.C.C To: All Cadets, Parents Date: 01 Nov 00 Subj: Attendance/ Accountability Cadets, I would like to reemphasize our policy on attendance. If you are unable to attend a drill for any reason, you MUST contact your next in command or your squad leader. If this fails you may then call your unit Lead Cadet and if this fails you may then call the OSS. If all of that does not work, you may call the Command phone listed on your POM. If you do call that number, you will be held accountable for using the chain of command. You have all received the chain of command structure by now and should know who to contact. This is the company format that you will use to resolve issues you may have. If you use this structure, you will be allowed to make up the drill. If you do not, you will be marked as an unexcused absence and you will not be able to make up the drill. You are supposed to drill 48 times a year. You are allowed to miss 25% of them. Missing drills can affect you promotion status in the unit. The program is here for you to among other things help to teach you accountability for your self and responsibility for the people under you. We require you, as the Cadets, to act on your own. If you have any issues that need to be resolved, we expect that you try to take care of them yourself. Your parents are not the individuals that joined the unit, you are. When you need an item from supply, you should go through the chain of command to get it. If you are not going to make a drill or are going to be late, you should go through the chain of command to make sure the proper people get this information. We also have a lot of new Cadets in the unit, the senior Cadets should be helping the new Cadets learn the structure. Look to your fellow Cadets for help, they are a great resource. I hope my point is understood. I also wont to reiterate that all the officers and instructors are here for you and to help you, but you must also do your part. V/R LT Sean C. Norton Commanding Officer, ACB-011, USNSCC
