NSCC Edward Benfold Division

All Hands,

Here is a list of what you should bring to all drills, unless otherwise noted in a POD (Plan Of the Day) or a separate communication.

• Weather Appropriate PT (Physical Training) Gear.

• Lunch. If needed, label and place in refrigerator before drill begins.

• Plenty of water.

• All assignments from the BMR manual, whether completed or not. The lessons that we cover in the classroom portion of the drill will be dictated by what most cadets have not completed. I strongly recommend that you have these assignments in a 3-ring binder so you can carry them easily. If you have the entire BMR manual printed, you can bring that as well.

• The dress of the drill is almost always NWUs. When we do anything sloppy (like paint recycling), we will have you wear other clothes from now on. Since we will almost always be marching, a coat to wear over the NWUs, or your Navy turtleneck may be appropriate. Additionally, thick-cushioned, over the calf boot socks are a must. If your boots are too big, wear two pairs of socks. No blisters :)

See you Saturday morning at 0845.
