NSCC ACTION LETTER 2-01

1. Purpose. The purpose of this action letter is to update and clarify the procedures for adult enrollment/promotion guidelines. The introduction of the new Adult/Cadet Registration Forms is hereby promulgated with this action letter. Additional pen and ink changes are listed in paragraph 4 and should be annotated where applicable in the manual.

2. Background. Reference (a) included a flow chart outlining the new promotion policy for all adults that went into effect on 1 January 2001. At the same time, the promotion board waiver policy was revised. The general policy is that there will be no waivers and the new guidelines were to be adhered to. However, it is also recognized that there will be exceptional circumstances. Under these circumstances waivers will be entertained only with the full support of the chain of command. This chart was also intended as a guide for units to follow when enrolling new adults. Reference (b) highlighted procedures units need to follow for general unit administrative procedures.

3. Discussion. Unit CO's are to ensure they read and fully understand all procedures. In addition they are to ensure the designated individual within the unit to process enrollment/promotion paperwork fully understands the procedures to follow when submitting paperwork to NHQ. Enrollment/promotion paperwork submitted in error will be returned to the unit for correction. This delays the enrollment/promotion process and causes additional work for all concerned.

4. Action.

1. Please cross out Chapter Two, NSCC/NLCC Administration Manual from the bottom of page 2-1 through page 3-1. The complete rewrite is at enclosure 3.
   
   
2. Insert enclosure 2, NSCADM 006 Adult Leader Registration Form in the Appendix. This form supercedes NSCADM 007 (12/99).
   
   
3. Insert enclosure 3, NSCADM 007 Cadet Registration Form. This form supercedes NSCADM 007 (12/99).
   
   
4. Change all references to Request for Training Authority (NSC-22) to NSCTNG 001(Cadet) and NSCTNG 002(Adult). Insert a copy of each in the Appendix. These forms are available for downloading from the Sea Cadet Resource Page.
   
   
5. Page 1-3, Add to paragraph D: Enrollment Fees: 6. Computation for High School Seniors: Partial year enrollments are acceptable only for highly motivated cadets who are in their senior year. When figuring the partial fee, prorate the administrative fee at $2.50 a month, multiply that number by the number of months the extension is for and add that to the full accident insurance premium of $4.75 (the accident insurance premium is NOT prorated). Use the following formula:

$2.50 x (Number of Months)=(Total Prorated Admin Fee) + $4.75 = (Partial Registration Fee)

5. Cancellation. This action letter remains effective until incorporated in the NSCC/NLCC Administration Manual.
