TCSPA Notes to Parents: Our Military Ball is considered drill time. It will count toward the Cadets 75% attendance record. We will have a number of VIP guests, so make sure the cadets uniforms are ship-shape, and their behavior is top notch! Staff/adults are $20 ($25 at the door), cadets and MIDN are $15, & the max for any immediate family will be $55. For all cadets who attended Sep. drill, it's free. If any parent or cadet is not receiving the monthly POM or other emails, contact LTJG Miller at gsmillermn@outlook.com Recruiting Drive - We are looking to add 20 new cadets to the unit and we need your help!

Prospective Cadets can either visit for a drill weekend or attend a briefing as their "first step". Briefings are held the FIRST Tuesday of every month (1900-2100) at the drill center.
