Drill Attendance Contact

Even though drill is mandatory, we understand there are circumstances when a Young Marine can not attend. School/family activities, illnesses, emergencies, etc. are all considered excused absences as long as we are notified in advance. In the past, Young Marines have been told to notify the Adjutant in the event they could not attend drill. In order to streamline our processes, we have set up a new contact email for drill attendance. Therefore, if a Young Marine will not be present at drill, please send an email to attendance@glcyoungmarines.org prior to the start of drill. We have provided the email link on every drill post on our calendar for your convenience.

Please note this email is to be used for drill attendance unless otherwise stated. Events such as parades, community service opportunities, etc. will have a different point of contact which will be noted when the event is posted on our website.

Text Messages

Regarding text messages, we ask that you no longer send a text message for drill/event attendance. We do not always know everyone’s phone numbers and it will help alleviate any confusion.

This policy has been added to our Resources page for future reference.
