• SEAL TRAINING NORVA. The departure date is scheduled for July 23rd which is Monday so that cadets can participate in the annual SEAL reunion that is scheduled for that previous weekend This is as the end of their training. Cadets who have to leave at the end of training on Friday evening, 20 July due to other obligations, may do so. Advise COTC well in advance.
  
  
• FOR THOSE TRAVELING VIA COMMERCIAL CARRIERS: We follow the recommendations of the Navy/Naval Reserve with regard to travel in uniform or civilian clothes. Current recommendations are that service personnel traveling commercial carrier, travel in civilian clothes. Accordingly, it is recommended that cadets as well, travel in civilian clothes, if traveling via commercial carrier.
  
  
• U.S. COAST GUARD TRAINING. Some of the very best training available continues to be with the U.S. Coast Guard, and particularly aboard buoy tenders. Buoy tenders in the major rivers of the U.S. are standing by to have cadets come aboard this summer, but these opportunities are as locally arranged. So….. Unit CO's and cadets are encouraged to continue their already outstanding work with local USCG assets to make local training with the USCG happen.

d. For those cadets who wish to train with the Young Marines, they require completion of the forms at encl (2). First call NHQ Capt Nyland for quota, then please include them with your request when you submit your request for training authority, NSCTNG001.

3. 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 the local airports distant from the training sites. Some COTC's have done this and the 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 that larger training evolutions, because of overwhelming logistical problems. So, remember where the responsibility lies and plan accordingly.
