  • New Cadet Handbook
    NEW CADET HANDBOOK WELCOME ABOARD 1 Welcome Aboard!!!! You are joining one of the finest youth organizations in the Nation, The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC). The NSCC or just Sea Cadets is actually two programs The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is for American youth ages 13-17 that have a desire to learn about the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Sea Cadets are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to wear Navy uniforms appropriately marked with the Sea Cadet Corps insignia. The objectives of the Sea Cadet program are to introduce youth to naval life, to develop in them a sense of pride, patriotism, courage, and self- reliance, and to maintain an environment free of drugs and gangs. The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) is for boys and girls, at least 10 but not yet 14 years old, who are interested in the sea and ships, and our nation’s seagoing services. The Navy League program is designed to introduce young people to maritime and military life, and to prepare them for later entrance into the Naval Sea Cadet Corps. This Handbook will help guide you into the unit. Again WELCOME ABOARD!!!! 2 Your Unit Your unit of the Sea Cadets is called the AMERICAN VETERANS DIVISION. Sea Cadet units are divided into three types: • DIVISIONS – NSCC Divisions train primarily in the field of seamanship. • SQUADRONS – NSCC Squadrons train primarily in the field of Aviation. • BATTALIONS – NSCC Battalions train primarily in the field of Naval Construction. While a unit may train primarily in one field of the Navy, its cadets do receive cross training in other fields.

U.S. Coast Guard Photo, Courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command By Michael Kern Program Assistant, National History Day 1 “The point was that we on the scene knew for sure that we could substitute machines for lives and that if we could plague and smother the enemy with an unbearable weight of machinery in the months to follow, hundreds of thousands of our young men whose expectancy of survival would otherwise have been small could someday walk again through their own front doors.” - Ernie Pyle, Brave Men 2 What is National History Day? National History Day is a non-profit organization which promotes history education for secondary and elementary education students. The program has grown into a national program since its humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio in 1974. Today over half a million students participate in National History Day each year, encouraged by thousands of dedicated teachers. Students select a historical topic related to a theme chosen each year. They conduct primary and secondary research on their chosen topic through libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and interviews. Students analyze and interpret their sources before presenting their work in original papers, exhibits, documentaries, websites, or performances. Students enter their projects in contests held each spring at the local, state, and national level where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. The program culminates in the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest, held on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park each June.

I can state without reservation that few colleges offer you the combination of such a highly respected academic degree with a strong, hands-on practical component (including Summer Sea Terms onboard our training ship Empire State VI), the opportunity to obtain a Merchant Marine officer’s license, a commission in the armed services if you choose, and the unsurpassed leadership opportunities availavle in the Regiment of Cadets. Indeed few such opportunities in life allow you to grow so rapidly and develop both leadership and technical competencies, which are in high demand in today’s globally integrated and complex environment.
