NSCC INFORMATION LETTER 5-00 (CHANGE TWO)

1. This is change two to the 2000 NSCC/NLCC summer training schedule promulgated ref (a). It is in two parts; additional notes as immediately follow, and a complete reprint of the summer training schedule itself. This reprint is at encl (1) and is a complete update of encl (3) to ref (a).

Remove and discard original encl (3) to ref (a) and replace it with encl (1) to this letter. This is the newly revised summer training schedule with all previous updates and changes incorporated. It is the same as is currently posted on the NSCC resources page at:

- resources.seacadets.org or www.seacadets.org/resources.

All of the appropriate and relevant changes from refs (b) and (c) have been incorporated into this change. General Training Guidelines, Coast Guard opportunities, and other notes and reference information for this summer's training contained in the original schedule, ref (a), at encls (1) and (2) still apply. Additional notes are as follow.

• Additional general notes, add these to encl (1) ref (a), Section 15, miscellaneous notes:
  
  
  • For the FAA all ground schools, Section 9, there is a need for adult escorts for each class, classes are in the training schedule at encl (3). Escorting adults can take the instruction at minimal to no cost in return for escorting duties. This is a great deal for any adult aspiring to fly! Call Judge Colby if interested at (703) 549-7722.
    
    
  • For all cadets and adults with orders to POLA, Amphibious Operations, Basic and Advanced Airman, Port Operations and the International/Canada East Exchange staying at the Naval Station Norfolk Youth Barracks, B-30:
    
    
    • The phone number is (757) 444-4642
      
      
    • The mailing address is:
      
      
      • Cadet/Officer Name
      • TWT Title (POLA, AMPHIB OPS, BASIC OR ADV AIRMAN, PORT OPS, INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE)
      • PMB #341
      • 8401 Hampton Blvd. Suite 7
      • Norfolk, VA 23505-1018
        
        
  • Insurance information on the top back of the NSC-22 or blocks 8a, b, c, and d on the new NSCTNG 001 and 002 . We have asked all parents and unit CO's to include this information on requests for training authority prior to sending to the COTC or NHQ. The reason is because any COTC or other adult escort who is unfortunate enough to have to accompany any cadet to the hospital is going to be asked about family insurance. This is not intended to be a show stopper for any cadet, because we do have our own NSCC accident insurance for each properly enrolled cadet. If cadet families don't provide the health insurance information, the request for training authority can still be approved and forwarded by the COTC . The intent here is help the COTC and the cadet if a hospital visit is necessary, not to preclude training.

2. And please, remember and remind everyone it is the responsibility of the parent and the unit to ensure all arrangements have been made to get cadets to the training site. It is not the COTC responsibility to arrange shuttles, van service, etc. to and from local airports distant from training sites. Some COTC's have done this and they are to be applauded. While they have gone above and beyond, you must remember, it is still not their responsibility. Also appreciate that this service or consideration even if the COTC desired, probably couldn't be accomplished at the larger training evolutions, because of overwhelming logistical problems. So, remember where the responsibility lies and plan accordingly. Even though this is on the NSC-22, it deserves re-emphasis. Additional reminders are as follow:

• Reminder, when using the new NSCTNG 001 and/or 002, don't forget to fill in blocks 1 a, b, and 2. Just because they're next to the NHQ only block, doesn't mean they don't need to be filled in!
  
  
• ID Cards, ID Cards, ID Cards. Once again, we are seeing too many requests for training authority arrive with either an expired ID card, or an ID card that will expire before training end date. Please, make it a unit evolution! Have everyone pull out their ID card and look at it. If the expiration date falls before training end date, you must renew the ID card before orders can be cut. We cannot cut orders across dates not covered by an ID card. It's an insurance thing and there are no waivers. So please, double check those ID card dates! Officers and cadets both!
  
  
• NSCADM 007, ENROLLMENTS. Too many submissions with unexplainable math/dollar amount errors! Please double check all your math. Enrollment fees are explained on the back of the form ; read carefully and double check your figures!
