Commanding officers may take this action without the concurrence of National Headquarters. An entry will be made on the NSCC Record of Advancement (NSCADM 009) stating the reason for disenrollment, and the NSCC Record of Advancement (NSCADM 009) is to be forwarded to National Headquarters. 1411.3 The appointments of officers and midshipmen who willfully fail to comply with NSCC Uniform Regulations will be revoked by the NSCC Executive Director.
