Summer Training

Most training takes place during summer months after school is out.  The first training all Sea Cadets receive is NSCC Recruit Training, better known as boot camp. This is a scaled down version of the Navy's boot camp. For approximately two-weeks cadets are instructed by active and reserve military personnel and Sea Cadet officers in military drill and discipline, physical fitness, seamanship, shipboard safety, first aid, naval history, and leadership.

After cadets have successfully completed boot camp, they can then take part in advanced training in a number of different fields. Some of the training avaliable to Sea Cadets includes the following:

• TRAINING SCHOOLS
  • AIRMAN TRAINING (BASIC & ADVANCED)
  • AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TRAINING
  • FAA GROUND SCHOOL
  • CULINARY ARTS TRAINING
  • MEDICAL TRAINING (GENERAL, FIELD, SURGICAL & DENTAL TECH)
  • FIREFIGHTING TRAINING
  • PHOTO JOURNALISM TRAINING

 Navy League Cadets can attend a one week orientation similar to the Sea Cadet boot camp.  They are then eligible to attend an advanced training which may focus on a specialty such as aviation.  Navy League cadets can train aboard Navy and Coast Guard ships during daylight hours.
