The Corps is stood down (NO cadets) for drum training, competition teams and regular training on Sunday 13 October for the Thanksgiving weekend. Online training (Google Classroom) is also stood down for this week.Cadets who are behind in their lesson submissions should take the opportunity to “catch up”. Training will resume on Sunday 20 October.
If your cadet has not already done so, please encourage them to accept their rank classroom invitation and complete the first 4 assignments. It is too easy to fall behind and much harder to catch up when promotions are imminent.
