During the post-inspection debriefing, LCDR Cox told the division basically the same thing he's been saying the past 4 years -- we can compete against anyone in the region in regards to personnel inspection, or any other area, BUT the division must have 25 Sea Cadets to compete. As you can see, the area needing the most improvement is recruiting/retention. We need an ALL HANDS effort to make the unit grow. Remember, you earn a Recruiting Incentive Ribbon for each cadet you bring aboard. Middle school age is ideal, as we increase the number of NSCC cadets almost immediately, yet they will have several years to go in the division. DON'T JUST BRING SOMEONE IN FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING BODIES -- if they don't stay, it won't help us or them. Be honest about the program, and if they're not interested, don't browbeat them into coming -- but help the unit grow!!
Again, THE C.O. IS VERY HAPPY!!! BRAVO ZULU to all of you!!!
