NSCC VOLLRATH DIVISION

USNSCC VOLLRATH DIVISION has been busy lately! The new recruits are in full-swing working on basic military requirements (BMR) to attend boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Station, IL, this June. Cadets completed their physical readiness tests (PRT) at last drill and must pass physical readiness in sit ups, push-ups, the mile run, sit and reach, and the shuttle run. Cadets who already went through boot camp last year are planning to attend advanced trainings in several different states over the summer. The cadets will be holding a brat fry/car wash at Blattner's Piggly Wiggly in Sheboygan Falls on Saturday, 26 MAY 2012 from 0900 to 1500. Proceeds go toward sending cadets to boot camp and advanced training. The next drill is 05-06 MAY 2012 at the Cascade Elementary School.

For more information about the unit and getting your child or yourself

 involved, please contact Inst. Laura Garofalo at 920.980.6400 or email legarofalo@rocketmail.com.
