Rhode Island Young Marines will resume our regular drill schedule July 8th, 2020. With the current health situation in mind we will be following certain new guidelines. 

Everyone attending drill or entering the building will be required to have their temperature taken with a no contact thermometer. Staff, parents, children and visitors with no exceptions. Anyone showing signs of a fever will be denied entry. Parents, please DO NOT drop off your children and leave without making sure that they can gain entrance.

The office will not be used for drop off and pickup. Everyone attending should drive around to the back of the building and enter through the roll up door and proceed directly to the drill deck. Using the drill deck will enable the Young Marines to maintain social distancing. This is also where the Young Marines will be dismissed after drill. Parents can remain in their cars lined up behind the building and we will release the Young Marines directly to their cars.

All PT will be conducted outside so all Recruits and Young Marines should arrive in their PT gear with their water bottle and their notebook, guidebook and pens/pencils in their backpack. Anyone arriving without a water bottle will be sent home. It may be hot outside so hydration is important.

There will be classes held on the drill deck and in various classrooms when necessary using social distancing. 

With the Governors current mandatory mask order expired there will be no masks required as long as social distancing is maintained. Staff will make every effort to make sure that social distancing is maintained. If you are more comfortable having your Young Marine/Recruit wear a mask please make sure that they bring it to drill and are properly instructed on how to keep the mask clean.

Please respond to this message to let us know that you have received it and will be attending. If you have any questions prior to the start of drill, please feel free to message UC Fabiano or XO Hamilton through the TeamReach app or by clicking the Contact Us button above.
