Just a reminder to practice your General Orders and your Sailor's Creed. You should know your orders by number not by order (1-11). It will be easier to memorize them in order to begin with, but once you are able to recite them you should be able to do so at random.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to hold drill due to COVID-19, however, ALL cadets should continue their studies as they normally would. Practice your General Orders and Sailor's Creed, work on coursework, challenge yourself to read excerpts from your Blue Jacket Manual, shine up your boots, etc. This includes PT, staying in shape is VERY important.

We look forward to regrouping and holding drill as soon as we are able.

Stay safe and we hope to see everyone soon.
