due to injury or illness.

will notify their chain of command prior to 1700 the day before excusal. If the
Cadet does not notify chain of command the day prior they have 48 hours to
send their doctor’s note to SGT Shehan at willian.a.shehan.mil@mail.mil, or bring
the note to the office. Battalion leadership will then inform Company leadership
upon SGT Shehan’s approval of received Doctor’s note. Failure to submit official
note will result in an unexcused absence.

forced to participate.

home.
