Mandatory Fundraising for Calendar Year 2012
It's been decided again that we will have just two (2) mandatory fundraisers scheduled for 2012. The first will be See's Candies. This fundraiser will begin 12/10/11 and run through 3/31/12. The YMs will be required to sell 4 boxes of candy (24 candy bars per box) or do a "buy-out" of $80. [Recruits from PLT 33112 will also be participating in this fundraiser and they will have to sell their 4 boxes or buy-out.] The second will be the fireworks tent, which is scheduled for the last week of June through July 4, 2012. The YMs will be required to each work 7 hours in or at the tent (YMs younger than 16 are not allowed in the fireworks tent so will have duties outside the tent). There is no "buy-out" on the fireworks tent. The hours will need to be worked.

Unit Phone Number
Should you need to call in and re-listen to a message, our phone number is 424-242-5296. An easy way to remember this is to think of it as 42 42 42 LCYM. We will also use this automated system to quickly and conveniently convey messages if drill and/or a Wednesday Study Night has been cancelled. Many of you have experienced the unit calling tree and listened to Mr. Hildebrant talk about the upcoming drill and everything going on. We are hopeful this will increase the amount of parents "getting the word" and being aware of upcoming activities and events. Much of what we pass has already been passed via email and/or unit website so many of you are pretty cognizant of what's going on. However, the message isn't always going to be regurgitated information. We need families to listen to the entire message because you just never know what will be on the message! Mr. Hildebrant receives a report from the company after every call cycle and can see specifically who is only listening to a partial message.

Winter Weather Wear Regulations
Field jackets are authorized. They are the preferred "winter coat" for the children. Field jackets need patches sewn on them in the exact same format that they have on their cammie blouses (though we do let them wear the field jacket if they've got an order in for patches and haven't received the patches yet). But to be in regulation, the patches all have to be on the field jacket. [NO PATCHES on Goretex field jackets. It breaks the integrity of the jacket.] Grey or red sweatshirts are authorized for layering warmth UNDER BOTH the red National tee and cammie blouse. These are the ONLY colors authorized by the CO/XO. Black gloves are authorized. School coats are not authorized. If your YM doesn't own their own field jacket, there are field jackets for "check out" in our Supply closet. Check in with Mrs. Martin if your YM needs to "check one out" for a drill or an event. She can be reached at supply{at}lcym.org or 360-891-7746. LCYMDir_10

More About Us

About the Young Marines
Chester

The Young Marines is the official youth program of the Marine Corps League. Founded in 1958 to promote the mental, moral and physical development of young Americans, the Young Marines offer a variety of activities specifically designed to develop greater self-esteem, discipline and self-confidence in its members.

Character building is one of the most important objectives of the Young Marine program, and all of its activities emphasize the importance of honesty, courage, respect, loyalty, dependability, and a sense of devotion to God, country, community and family.

In July of 1993, the United States Marine Corps officially designated the Young Marines program as “the focal organization for fulfilling its participation in the Department of Defense’s drug demand reduction activities.”

Young Marines make a pledge to maintain a drug free lifestyle and are encouraged to influence family, friends, and schoolmates to share this commitment.
