December 9-10, 2023 Drill took place at the Great Lakes Naval Base.
We started the Drill with the dress uniform inspection in anticipation of next month's annual inspection and winter training.
Sea Cadets proceeded to work on their next medical curriculum topic: First Aid for Severe Trauma. League cadet's curriculum for the day included Mental Health.
On Sunday, Sea Cadets covered Mental Health, while the league cadets concentrated on Gastrointestinal (GI) System activities.
In the afternoon, the unit recruits practiced assembling their seabag in preparation for the winter training.
At the end of the drill, the unit had a Christmas party with a White Elephant Gift Exchange.
GOOD LUCK TO THOSE ATTENDING WINTER TRAINING
Thank you for a great drill! Good luck to those of you going to winter training. We have cadets going to Illinois, Louisiana, and Ohio this month. As a commanding officer, I hope not to hear from the training commander while cadets are there. Please remember that you are representing yourself, your unit, and your region at every moment while there.
