Suffolk County, NY, May 3, 2006- Last summer over 3,000 young men and women, ages 14-17, found adventure and training through the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
On shore and afloat, cadets explored possible careers in the Navy and Coast Guard through varied training programs and activities. Throughout this adventure, they developed a greater sense of citizenship, responsibility, leadership skills and self-discipline; the core objectives of the Sea Cadet program.
The core values aid these young people as they proceed in their educational careers, by teaching the discipline required to succeed in school. The Cadet program enforces this concept by requiring minimum grades of their Cadets. Failure to maintain these grades limits their continued participation in the program.
Sponsored by the U.S. Navy League, the Department of the Navy and Coast Guard, the Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a federally chartered youth training organization. The program is open to all young Americans regardless of race, color, creed or sex.
Sea Cadet training helps young people to make an intelligent decision about choosing a career, whether it is in the military or civilian life.
Should the Cadet decide the military life is the correct choice, advancement in the Naval Sea Cadet Corps can mean enlistment at advanced pay grades in the Navy or Coast Guard. Approximately 70 percent of all Navy Sea Cadets completing the Cadet program enter the armed forces.
The Naval Sea Cadet Corps program needs qualified adults to be role models and provide guidance and leadership to these young people so the program can continue to grow. If you would like to help or if you have a son or daughter that you feel may benefit from the program, contact:
