COMMANDER'S CORNERThe Commanding Officer of the Tri-City Young Marines is Mr. Jeff Carlyle. He has been involved with the Young Marines Program for many years. Hello Young Marines and Recruits. Welcome to 2012! You can see on the first page of the newsletter just some of the things that we accomplished throughout 2011, and I hope we can stay active this year. It is time for all those that are eligible to let me know what SPACES program you would like to apply for. All the SPACES are very competitive and if you don’t let me know right away, there will be no spot for you. General eligibility is that you must have been a Young Marine for at least 1 year and completed all of your required training. That includes passing 2 PFT’s, being present on all DDR training, and must have been promoted at least once. There are other requirements for the specific programs, such as age and rank. You can look all these up on the National web site. We have rescheduled the next Recruit weekend to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, January 20, 21, and 22, 2012. Recruits should report in at 1800 hours on that day, and NCO’s should be there at 1700 hours. The required equipment list is the same list that was used for the first Boot-Camp weekend. Because of the postponement of our second Boot-Camp weekend, we have had to postpone the graduation date of these Recruits. The new graduation date is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 18th. You will receive more information on it when we get closer to that date. Carry on, Jeff Carlyle Commanding Officer Tri-City Young Marines |
