Golf Tournament 2016

Friday, June 17, 2016 thank you, the Pvt Shutt Detachment Golf Tournament is one of our major fundraisers for the Detachment. The annual cost to keep the Detachment operating is greatly assisted by the tournament. This includes electric, gas, trash and insurance. It also helps in allowing us to have our two major open houses, Memorial Day and the Marine Corps Birthday. It also helps us do what we can to service our area Veterans.

Please consider sponsoring a Tee or a Hole, maybe in memory of a loved one. It is a great way to support the Detachment. If you are interested in golfing and / or sponsoring please find more information here and return it to the Detachment.

Sea Cadet Training

Operation Red Coast training was completed this weekend and a large reason for it's success was due to the contribution of the six instructors from the Shutt detachment. The 50 cadets attending the training received professional instruction on boarding and raiding enemy vessels using the new Miles II M4 weapons and the MP7 weapons provided by our instructor group. ... In fact, in time for the Marine Corps Birthday, and new award for our detachment for our Detachment's assistance.
