I invite you to visit our "About Us" page to see the history of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps and see what you can get out of joining the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps, either as a cadet or as an adult leader.

I would like to take a minute to tell you about the Liberty (AGTR-5) Division; we are located at the United States Armed Forces Reserve Center, Amityville, Long Island, NY. Our Division was Commissioned on 9 November 2002 after a year of tough preparation and training. and our training opportunities are better now than ever. The Liberty (AGTR-5) Division takes its name from the American intelligence ship USS Liberty (AGTR-5). During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died and 172 were wounded. The Commanding Officer, Captain William Loren McGonagle, received the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty during the attack. We have some very big shoes to fill and fill them we will.

This Web site fulfills two primary functions; first as a medium for the Liberty (AGTR-5) Division and the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps; and secondly, as a memorial to the USS Liberty and the thirty-four fine young men who gave their lives on 8 June 1967, gallantly defending her from destruction.

The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a fine organization with units operating in every part of the Continental United States and its Territories. Within these units you will find the finest of America's youth and without doubt, tomorrow's leaders. Opportunities for personal and professional development abound in the Corps. I encourage those of you who are up to the challenge to join America's finest youth organization today.

We're waiting to hear from you.
