Activity: Recruit Training Location: Texas Tactical | | What to bring | | | CO Message | - All required forms must be completed prior to your departing on Friday evening. - A $200 nonrefundable due is payable prior to the beginning of the training on Friday evening. This covers food, uniforms, and other items which are provided, and the children get to keep! The purpose is for New Young Marines to complete the first weekend of 4, that will be dedicated to teaching them the skills to be Successful in the Young Marine Program. This is a requirement for all Young Marines. The recruit training, while nothing approaching a real “Boot Camp” that our armed forces have, is still an immersion study for the boys and girls that are attending. The course can be challenging for younger children who have not previously been away from home overnight. Children sometimes express a desire to quit, similar to those attending a new football camp or dance class. We urge that you encourage your child to strive, and excel! For years many youth have enjoyed the pride of accomplishment they have in completing Young Marine Recruit Training. At the end of the first weekend you may notice a positive improvement in your child’s bearing and conduct. |
June 5-6, 2010 Unit Trip (TENTATIVE) & Fund Raiser
| | Activity | Time: TBD Activity: Unit Trip (TENTATIVE) Location: Galveston, TX | | What to bring | Young Marines Uniform: Cammies, Ribbons, all gear that has been issues, and PT Gear Meals: $5 for an MRE or a lunch Hydration: Bring Water! Other: None
| | CO Message | We’re in work on a trip in the early part of this summer. Tentatively, we’ll be going down to Galveston the weekend of 5 June for a couple of tours and staying the night on either a battleship, or a submarine. Fundraising efforts have already started. Dana Landers and her husband, Austin, also our newest staff member, have taken the lead in this. Hat’s off for the good work! We had a good fundraiser at the haunted house this last October. The new fund raiser will be breakfasts at Applebee's. The first one will be 20 Feb. We’ll have to help serve the breakfast for 2 hours on the morning of the 20th. We can do this several times. Even though the recruit training will be taking place on the same weekends, we can still do both. The goal is to have the trip paid for so no one will have to pay anything.
