What we do:

After enrolling in the program, all Sea Cadets must attend a mandatory recruit training session after spending some time with the regional or local unit to get prepared. The preparation phase allows cadets time and opportunity to learn up basic military rules, regulations, and to ensure they know how to train properly to meet or exceed minimum physical fitness standard.

The curriculum of this recruit training is approved by the U.S. Navy and standardized at all training sites. Cadets receive 106 hours of instruction, with a focus on the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment. Both tone and tenor of instruction are modeled after the Navy’s recruit training. These training sessions are taught at the Navy’s Recruit Training Command, at other naval bases or stations and at regional recruit training sites using other military bases or host resources.

After successful completion of recruit training, Sea Cadets may choose from a wide variety of advanced training opportunities that are nationally advertised by USNSCC headquarters.

Some examples of arranged events and advanced training include:

Seabee and SEAL Challenges
Ship Visits
Field Operations
Field Medical
Basic Medical
Advanced Medical
STEM - Lego
STEM - Submarine Model Build and Competition
SCUBA

Culinary Arts
Photo Journalism
Leadership - Petty Officer Training
Sailing
Special Operations
International Exchange Program

Color Guards For Special Events (Veterans Day, 4th of July Parade, Memorial Day, etc.)

Why we do it:

At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Navy League of the United States established the USNSCC in 1962 to "create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of American youth".

Today's U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps continues to further the image of our maritime services by adhering to a standardized training program designed to:

Develop an interest and ability in seamanship and seagoing skills
Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet
Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-free, drug-free and gang-free lifestyle
Expose cadets to the prestige of public service and a variety of career paths through hands-on training with our nation's armed services
