1.    COMMANDING OFFICER’S CORNER:
A. A NOTE TO ALL HANDS, PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THE CHANGE IN ARRIVAL TIME FOR FRIDAY
   NIGHTS, IT IS NOW 2000 VICE 1900. THIS SHOULD ALLOW ALL CADETS TO BE ON TIME FOR THE
   DRILL WEEKEND. ALL HANDS ARE TO REPORT IN THEIR DRESS UNIFORMS.

B. ATTENTION ALL HANDS: TOP HATTERS SQUADRON WILL BE CONDUCTING OUR ANNUAL PRT AND
   SWIM QUALS DURING THE APRIL/MAY DRILL WEEKEND. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MAXIMUM
   ATTENDANCE FOR THIS DRILL WEEKEND, SO WE WON’T HAVE TO DO A MAKE-UP PRT OR SWIM
   QUALS.

C. PLEASE NOTE: THE NAVY’S OFFICIAL SHIFT TO THE SUMMER UNIFORM TAKES PLACE AT 0001 ON
   MONDAY, 09 APRIL 2012.


2.     BASE ACCESS THROUGH GATE 3A:
You no longer need to go to the Pass and ID Office, just go to Gate 3A of the Naval Station and inform the Sentry
who you are and where you are going and your Vehicle Pass will be at the Gate for you. This should eliminate
any problems with getting your Cadet to B-30 on Friday Night and picking them up on Sunday Afternoon. The
Pass is good for the entire weekend once issued by Gate 3A. Gate 3A is the ONLY Gate at the Naval Station
that has these Passes.

unauthorized items are found in the procession of any cadet, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.

5.       REQUIRED ITEMS:
All hands are to bring PT Gear, Bathing Suits (MUST BE NAVY BLUE OR BLACK), Top Hatters Squadron
T-Shirt, homework, military courses, toiletries, shower shoes, towel, a padlock, water bottle/canteen,
notebook, Sleeping Bags, POM, as well as ALL UNIFORMS ISSUED TO THEM. Cadets not having these
items may be required to buy them at their own expense. ALL HANDS MUST HAVE THEIR SEABAGS,
GARMENT BAGS, AND ANY OTHER BAGS, PROPERLY STENCILED OR LABELED WITH YOUR NAME ON
IT!!!

6.       BEHAVIOR:
Cadets are reminded that talking, skylarking (horseplay), hazing or other disturbances will not be tolerated.
Any cadet found violating this policy will be given Extra Military Instruction (EMI) or sent home depending on
the frequency and/or severity of the disturbance.

7.        MEDICAL NOTE:
Any Cadet who is taking prescription drugs must check-in with the Squadron Medical Assistant. Your medication
