SPRING TRIP INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CADETS

1. Bishop Kenny NJROTC Orientation Trip Itinerary
April 26 – 28, 2013
Cadet,
This year we are taking a three day trip to visit the University of South Florida, MacDill Air Force
Base, The Tampa Aquarium, and Busch Gardens. You will need enough spending money for your
meals (except breakfast) and incidentals. We think this will be a very enjoyable and rewarding trip.
You will be representing Bishop Kenny High School and our NJROTC program so we expect you to
dress conservatively and act accordingly (as I know they will). On Friday you will need to wear your
NJROTC Khaki Cargo Pants with Yellow Navy PT shirt and comfortable shoes (NO sandals/flip flops
etc.) and you will need your ID card. On Saturday and Sunday you will be allowed to wear
jeans/slacks/ Red BK NJROTC T-shirt and comfortable shoes. Note: Pants with belt loops
requires a belt.

2. Cadets,
This year we are taking a three day trip visit The University of South Florida, MacDill Air Force Base,
The Tampa Aquarium, and Busch Gardens. The only meals that will be provided are breakfast on Saturday
and Sunday morning so make sure you bring enough spending money for your other meals and incidentals.
You will be representing Bishop Kenny High School and our NJROTC program so the Master Chief and I
expect you to be on your best behavior. Dress conservatively (nothing too tight or too short). All male
cadets will be expected to meet our NJROTC grooming standards. (i.e. haircuts and shaves). We expect you
to be respectful to everyone, leave your hotel room in the same condition that you found it, and have a good
time. You will be responsible for paying for ANY damage to the hotel rooms, so no “horsing” around. You are
not allowed to leave your hotel room after curfew unless an emergency exists and/or escorted by one of our
chaperones. Also, you are never allowed to leave your hotel room unless completely dressed (i.e., no going to
breakfast in your pajamas). Curfew / Lights Out at 11:00 p.m. each night (no extraneous noise coming from
your room).
The Chaperones for this trip, in addition to the Master Chief, will be Mrs. Maribel Pumarejo Mrs. Susan
Hawley, and Mrs. Kris Lucey. Follow their instructions at all times! Nothing else will be tolerated! At NO
time will you travel around in groups of less than three people. At NO time will boys be in a girl’s room and
vice versa (unless accompanied by one of our chaperones).
Lastly, the bus will remain clean at all times. Trash bags will be distributed and used. If you violate
this or any of the other rules, you will spend the remainder of the trip with the Master Chief. He
particularly like the shows at Busch Gardens and although he’d like your company, I think you will have a much
better time on the rides—so don’t break our rules!
Dress for Friday. NJROTC Khaki Cargo Pants & Yellow Navy PT shirt and a pair of comfortable shoes
/ tennis shoes (NO Flip Flops, Sandals, Clogs, open toed or backless shoes) and you will need your ID card.
Dress for Saturday & Sunday. Either Slacks or a nice pair of Jeans (i.e., a pair without any holes
etc.); Red NJROTC T-Shirt Saturday & Collared Shirt (Sunday), windbreaker (optional) and a pair of
comfortable shoes / tennis shoes (NO Flip Flops, Sandals, Clogs, open toed or backless shoes). This is a
safety issue, especially at Busch Gardens.
Additional Items to Bring: Toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, a razor and shaving cream (for
male cadets who shave), windbreaker, a couple pairs of socks, underwear / shorts / gym shorts to sleep in etc.
Cell Phone and charger. If you require any medications make sure you bring them, along with a note from
your parents about the medication and the frequency of use. School Books for homework (10 hours on bus
there and back).
It is tradition that when we return to school after a trip all Freshman Cadets remain on the bus to
ensure that all the trash is picked up and removed and that nothing is left behind. No “whining” as next year
this responsibility will go to the new freshman class.
