ONCE SOMETHING HAS BEEN POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE, ALL CADETS ARE CONSIDERED OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED AND RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING ALL INFORMATION AND FOLLOWING ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

  • AURORA CADET PICTURED IN 2010 NSCC ANNUAL REPORT:  Former Aurora Division cadet PO3 Taylor Ryberg is pictured on page 11 of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps Annual Report (PDF file). She is the 3rd cadet from the left in the photo from Culinary Arts training.

  • DIVISION COMMUNICATIONS:  There have been issues with some not receiving important communications from the unit. Aurora Division uses e-mail lists (called DISTRO lists in the military) to keep its membership informed of important events, policies, etc. Sometimes these messages get mislabelled spam by YOUR e-mail or internet service provider. I have used quite a number of different providers over the years (AOL, Juno, G-mail, Hotmail, Outlook (at work), SBC, AT&T, etc.) and the one thing they all have in common is that while their spam filters generally work reasonably well (some are more sensitive than others), they ALL will occasionally deliver spam to your inbox that should have been filtered out, and ALL will occasionally deliver non-spam that should have gone to your inbox to your spam or junk mail folder. So you all should go to your e-mail box, and check your settings to make sure that you've enabled a spam or junk mail folder (i.e. don't let it just automatically delete everything IT thinks is spam). Then get into the habit of regularly checking your spam or junk mail folder to look for legitimate mail that should have gone to your inbox. The list messages from the unit will be easy to spot; the subject line always starts with the list name in brackets, i.e. [Aurora Sea Cadets All Hands], [Aurora Sea Cadets Parents], [Aurora Sea Cadets Ward Room], etc. If you find one of those in your spam or junk mail folder, select it and click on the Not Spam button (or whatever your e-mail provider calls it). If you have the option, add the list to your whitelist (the list of people you're telling your provider to always accept mail from), but that's not foolproof as I not uncommonly find messages from people I've whitelisted in my spam or junk e-mail folder, and messages from people I blacklisted in my inbox.
