With federal funding to offset cadet and escort messing and berthing costs once again available for 2004, program growth continues. The NSCC looks for additional training opportunities to offer our growing numbers of NSCC/NLCC cadets. Specifically, expanded one week or two week (or even longer) summer training opportunities are desired. While military training onboard bases, stations, and ships, continues to be of first preference in accordance with our program goal of making cadets aware of the prestige of military careers and also to increase advancement potential for those who join, we are not restricted to only that training. Our other goals are:
  • Develop interest and skills in basic seamanship and seagoing skills.
  • Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral character and principles.
  • Demonstrate value of alcohol, drug and gang free lifestyle.

One and two week training courses that support any of these goals are desired. If you have any ideas or recommendations, call NSCC NHQ Capt Nyland or 1SG Bunting. We need your help, and remember, messing and berthing will be covered and this applies to both NSCC and NLCC training.
