On September 10, 1962, Congress chartered The Naval Sea Cadet Corp. Since then, units all over the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam have been providing Cadets with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, build character and become productive citizens, in a drug and alcohol free environment.
Honor, Courage and Commitment is the Navy’s motto, the adult volunteers strive to teach these ideals, along with practical naval knowledge. Cadets and League Cadets are taught naval history, basic seaman skills, and marching commands. The Cadets are given the opportunity to advance in rank, and earn ribbons like actual naval members, through naval course work and advanced training offered by the Cadet Corp.
The Cadets can participate in advanced trainings such as Airman, Culinary Arts, Judge Advocate General (JAG), Fire Fighting, Marksmanship, Music, Seamanship and even SEAL Training to name just a few. They can earn the opportunity to participate in a foreign exchange program, as well as the opportunity to check out either the Naval or the Coast Guard Academies. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps also provides the opportunity to earn college scholarships.
While participation in the Sea Cadet Corps in no way obligates participants to serve in the Navy, those that choose to enlist in the Armed Forces might be eligible to earn an advanced pay grade bases on their Sea Cadet performance.
If you are interested in receiving more information, please contact our unit, or visit one of our regularly scheduled meetings, the Cadets and adult volunteers would be happy to answer any questions.
