It’s time to re-enroll for this year
Double check the back of your ID Card. If you are within 2 months of reenrolling,
see Instructor Cheryl Turner or Instructor Maci McGraw about
renewing your enrollment. Re-enrollment fees for existing cadets for the 2010-
2011 year are still only $100 and haven’t gone up in nearly 10 years.
The following Navy Leaguers need to have their ID cards renewed:
Gabriel Avila Steve Gutierrez Mackenzie Myhlhousen
Karissa Voldberg Cynthia Duke
The following Sea Cadets need to have their ID cards renewed:

Cadets who let their enrollments expire are not allowed to participate in drill
activities until their fees are paid and are subject to being dropped from the
program. Don’t let this happen to you!
