U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps

The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is a federally chartered nonprofit civilian youth training organization for young people, ages 13
through 17, sponsored by the Navy League of the United States
(NLUS) and supported by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
Included under the NSCC umbrella is the Navy League Cadet Corps
(NLCC), a junior program for youth ages 11 to 13. Goals of both
the Cadet programs follow:
To develop an interest and ability in basic seamanship and seagoing skills;
To instill the virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles
in each Cadet;
To demonstrate the value of an alcohol-free, drug-free, and gangfree lifestyle;
To make each Cadet aware of the prestige of a military career and
increase the advancement potential of those who serve.

CHAIRMANS MESSAGE

All Ahead Full!

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps continues to be a dynamic and inspirational Youth
Program. As the new Chairman and a long-time member of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet
Board of Directors, I continue to be amazed at the steady growth of a most unique youth
development program. Each year we report events, personal interest stories and cadet unit
achievements that are absolutely awe-inspiring. Our strong supporters in Congress, the
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Maritime Administration all share our pride of these
young cadets achievements. With dauntless enthusiasm we move forward to meet the
challenges in the coming year ALL AHEAD FULL in 2011!
With great pride we report another full year of growth. Our Sea Cadet enrollment has
grown every month for the past 26 months! Our goal for 2010 was 10,000 members. We
sprinted past that objective, closing the year with 10,549 members! We are underway,
making way to achieve our 2011 goal of 11,000 members. The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet
Corps is one of a few youth development programs run by volunteers that can report consistent growth we are also the only International Sea Cadet organization that has grown in
membership the past several years.
This past fall we hosted the International Sea Cadet Association Conference at Navy League Headquarters in Arlington,
Virginia. The annual conference was attended by representatives of 14 countries with whom we have Sea Cadet exchange programs. The Association has grown significantly since we last hosted the event in 1999. The attending countries reported operating support budgets ranging from very small to very large. Regardless of the degree of support each country provided, it was
clear those who participate in cadet exchanges with the United States consider our program to be the very best. Equally clear was
that the cadets we send to other countries are considered to be the best of the best every year we receive numerous accolades
regarding our cadets training and professionalism.
Training in 2010 surpassed other years in courses available, cadet attendance, and qualifications achieved. This happened in
spite of having fewer funds to spend per cadet. Our program initiated efficiency improvements but still provided high quality
training for our cadets. A review of the training highlights enclosed in the report will reflect we had the right stuff in 2010.
Our training curriculum expanded efforts to improve the cadets knowledge of traditional maritime subject matter as well as the
Naval and Coast Guard academies and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. Additionally, we had our
largest Christmas training period ever. This was only possible because of our committed adult volunteers and the strong support
by our Sea Services leadership. We also significantly expanded local unit training due to the major funding assistance of an
anonymous donor. We anticipate continued growth in 2011 for local training as a result of these contributions. Local training
significantly adds to unit recruiting and retention efforts.
Bottom line 2010 was an outstanding year for our Sea Cadet program because of the incredibly generous contributions, both
in time and money, of many committed people. We look forward to 2011 being another outstanding year. We will measure
progress carefully by assessing the quality of each program delivered and will adjust in real-time if improvements can be made.
The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps volunteers and staff will continue to provide strong oversight to derive the maximum benefit
from every dollar spent. We will strive to grow the program by working closely with Congress and our Sea Services Leadership
to allow more youth the opportunity to participate in a positive, character-building experience as a United States Naval Sea Cadet.
All the best,

R.W. Hollstein

At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Navy League

of the United States established the Naval Sea Cadet Corps in
1958 to "create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of
American youth." On September 10, 1962, the U.S. Congress
federally chartered the Naval Sea Cadet Corps under Public
Law 87-655 as a non-profit civilian youth training organization
for young people, ages 13 through 17. A National Board of
Directors, whose Chairman may also serve as the National Vice
President of the Navy League for Youth Programs, establishes
NSCC policy and management guidance for operation and
administration. A Vice-Chairman of the Board serves also as the
Corps National President. A full-time Executive Director and
small staff in Arlington, VA, administers NSCCs day-to-day
operations. These professionals work with volunteer Regional
Directors, unit commanding officers, and local sponsors. They
also collaborate with Navy League councils and other civic, or
patriotic organizations, and with local school systems.
NSCC Objectives
Develop an interest and skill in seamanship and seagoing subjects.
Develop an appreciation for our Navy's history, customs, traditions,
and its significant role in national defense.
Develop positive qualities of patriotism, courage, self-reliance, confidence, pride in our nation and other attributes which contribute to
development of strong moral character, good citizenship traits and a
drug-free, alcohol-free and gang-free lifestyle.
Present the advantages and prestige of a military career.
Under the Cadet Corps umbrella is the Navy League Cadet Corps
(NLCC), a youth program for children ages 11 through 13. While it is
not part of the federal charter provided by Congress, the NLCC is
sponsored by the Navy League of the United States.
6

The NLCC was established "...to give young people mental,

moral, and physical training through the medium of naval and other
instruction, with the objective of developing principles of patriotism
and good citizenship, instilling in them a sense of duty, discipline,
self-respect, self-confidence, and a respect for others.
Benefits
Naval Sea Cadets experience a unique opportunity for personal
growth, development of self-esteem and self-confidence. Their participation in a variety of activities within a safe, alcohol-free, drug-free,
and gang-free environment provides a positive alternative to other
less favorable temptations. The Cadet Corps introduces young people
to nautical skills, to maritime services, and to a military life style. The
program provides the young Cadet the opportunity to experience selfreliance early on, while introducing this Cadet to discipline without
any obligation to join a branch of the Armed Forces. The young
Cadet realizes the commitment required and routinely excels within
the Navy and Coast Guard environments.
Naval Sea Cadets receive first-hand knowledge of what life in the
Navy or Coast Guard is like. This realization ensures the likelihood of
success in military service. For example, Cadets may experience limited travel abroad and in Canada, as well as the opportunity to board
Navy and Coast Guard ships, craft and aircraft. These young people
may also participate in shore activities ranging from training as a student at a Navy hospital to learning the fundamentals of aviation maintenance at a Naval Air Station.
The opportunity to compete for college scholarships is particularly
significant. Since 1975, 244 Cadets have received financial assistance
in continuing their education in a chosen career field at college. In
this regard, over 12% of the Naval Academy midshipmen are former
Sea Cadets. These Cadets are not included in the group getting a
financial scholarship.
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps

Activities
Naval Sea Cadets pursue a variety of activities including classroom,
practical and hands-on training as well as field trips, orientation visits to military installations, and cruises on Navy and Coast Guard
ships and small craft. They also participate in a variety of community and civic events.
The majority of Sea Cadet training and activities occur year
round at a local training or "drill" site. Often this may be a military
installation or base, a military operational support center, a local
school, civic hall, or sponsor-provided building. During the summer,
activities move from the local training site and involve recruit training (boot camp), and advanced training of choice, which includes
a variety of training opportunities depending on the Cadets previous
experience and desires.
Senior Leadership
Volunteer Naval Sea Cadet Corps officers and instructors furnish
senior leadership for the program. They willingly contribute their
time and effort to serve America's youth. The Cadet Corps programs
succeed because of their dedicated, active participation and commitment to the principles upon which the Corps was founded.
Cadet Corps officers are appointed from the civilian sector or
from active, reserve or retired military status. All are required to take
orientation, intermediate, and advanced Officer Professional
Development courses to increase their management and youth leadership skills. Appointment as an officer in the Sea Cadet Corps does
not, in itself, confer any official military rank. However, a Navystyle uniform, bearing NSCC insignia, is authorized and worn. Cadet
Corps officers receive no pay and only minimal allowances to attend
development courses. In conjunction with carrying out training duty
orders, they also derive some benefits from limited use of military
facilities and space available travel arrangements.

Training
Local Training
Local training, held at the units drill site, includes a variety of activities supervised by qualified Sea Cadet Corps Officers and instructors,
as well as Navy, Coast Guard, Marine and other service member
instructors.
Cadets receive classroom and hands on practical instruction in
basic military requirements, military drill, water and small boat safety, personal core values, social amenities, drug/alcohol avoidance,
cultural relations, Naval history, Naval customs and traditions, and
nautical skills. Training may be held onboard ships, small boats or
aircraft, depending upon platform availability, as well as onboard military bases and stations. In their training, Cadets also learn about and
are exposed to a wide variety of civilian and military career opportunities through field trips and educational tours.
Special presentations by military and civilian officials, as well as
attendance at special briefings and events throughout the local area,
augment the local training. Cadets are also encouraged, and scheduled, to participate in civic activities and events to include parades,
social work, and community projects - all part of the whole person
training concept.
For all Naval Sea Cadets the training during the first several
months is at their local training site, and focuses on general orientation to, and familiarization with, the entire Naval Sea Cadet program.
It also prepares them for their first major away-from-home training
event, the two-weeks recruit training, which all Sea Cadets must successfully complete.
The Navy League Cadet Corps training program teaches younger
Cadets the virtues of personal neatness, loyalty, obedience, courtesy,
dependability and a sense of responsibility for shipmates. In accordance with a Navy-orientated syllabus, this education prepares them
for the higher level of training they will receive as Naval Sea Cadets.

Summer Training.
After enrolling, all sea cadets must first attend a two week recruit
training taught at the Navys Recruit Training Command, at other
Naval Bases or stations, and at regional recruit training sites using
other military host resources. Instructed by Navy or NSCC Recruit
Division Commanders, cadets train to a condensed version of the
basic course that Navy enlistees receive. The curriculum is provided
by the Navy, and taught at all training sites. In 2010 there were 24
recruit training classes, including 3 classes conducted over the winter
holiday and spring school break. At least twenty nationwide regional
sites are required annually to accommodate the steady demand for
quotas and also to keep cadet and adult travel costs to a minimum.
2128 cadets attended recruit training in 2010, supported by approximately 281 adult volunteers. This training was almost 300 more
cadets than trained in 2009. This increase in Recruit training is considered to be attributable to the wide variety and opportunity retained
in the basic training program itself, complemented by 2010s modestly increased funding support of $286,000 that allowed three times the
support to locally arranged training by units over that available in
2009. In 2009, locally arranged training evolutions totaled 20, whereas in 2910, over 60 were accomplished to the benefit of over 2600
cadets and another 500 adult leaders. With that modest increase in
funding in 2010, the NSCC was also able to maintain cadet deposit
fees at the 2008 level, avoiding additional financial burden to cadets
and parents.
Once cadets have successfully completed recruit training, they
may choose from the wide variety of advanced training opportunities
available to them. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps continues to be very
proud of the quality and diversity of training opportunities offered to
its Cadet Corps. For 2010, slightly better than prior years, approximately 8,300 training opportunities were formally advertised for both
cadets and adults. Representative advanced training opportunities for
2010 once again included:

As mentioned earlier, another 2600 opportunities presented themselves through the dedication, resourcefulness and initiative of the
adult volunteer officers who locally arranged additional training
opportunities for cadets onboard bases and stations. This locally
arranged training is some of the best that the NSCC has to offer and
includes the consistently outstanding training offered by the U.S.
Coast Guard. The total cadet and adult opportunity for 2010 again
was over 8,300 quotas, including all recruit, orientation, and
advanced training. Over 7,000 NSCC members, with well over 6000
being cadets, stepped forward and requested orders to take advantage
of these training opportunities. Cadets faced a myriad of challenging
and rewarding training experiences designed to instill leadership and
develop self-reliance. It also enabled them to become familiar with
the full spectrum of Navy and Coast Guard career fields. Every cadet
who desired to participate in scheduled NSCC training had ample
opportunity to do so, and close to 100% did.
This steady and continuing participation again reflects the popularity of the NSCC and the positive results of federal funding from
2001 through 2010. The NSCC still continues to experience an average increased recruit and advanced training attendance of almost over
3000 cadets per year above those years in which federal funding was
not available. Noteworthy to mention again, NSCC enrollment has
been steadily increasing since late 2008, and cadet participation in

training has been steadily on the rise over the last two years. The
2010 grant increase of $286,000 markedly helped recruiting, retention, and training as the statistics reflect.
While recruit training acquaints cadets with Navy life and Navy
style discipline, advanced training focuses on military and general
career fields and opportunities, and also affords the cadets many
entertaining, drug free, disciplined yet fun activities over the entire
year. NSCC continues to have approximately 450 cadets per year further confirm the programs popularity by performing multiple two
week trainings, taking maximum advantage of the opportunities presented. The NSCC also stands very proud in that the US Naval
Academy brigade of midshipmen enjoys having over 12% of its
members (over 500 midshipmen) having been former Sea Cadets. 132
midshipmen inducted in the Class of 2014 were former sea cadets.
Training highlights for 2010
Opportunity for each and every cadet to perform Recruit and or
Advanced Training as always was again the focus in 2010. To that
end emphasis was placed on maintaining all traditional and new training opportunities developed since federal funding was approved for
the NSCC. Highlights included:
9

International Exchange Cadets from 9 countries at the Today Show with host Meredith Vieira during a visit to New York City.

Maintained national recruit training opportunity for every cadet

wanting to participate with 24 recruit training evolutions in 2010, 3 of
which were over the winter school break.
Sponsored the largest ever winter training program with 13 evolutions completed for 799 cadets, with 134 adult volunteer escorts assisting.
For the second year in a row, participated in the Naval
Academys expanded Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM) program. There was one class in 2009 whereas in 2010 3
classes were sponsored. 88 cadets applied and 28 were accepted.
For the first time ever, participated in the USCG Academys 2
day Leadership Seminar, open to all qualified 8th, 9th, and 10th
graders. Approximately 50% of the class were Sea Cadets, with 1
cadet traveling from as far away as Hawaii.
Increased again NSCCs adult volunteer attendance in
Professional Development Programs. With three different weekend
courses tailored to improving volunteer knowledge and leadership
skills, approximately 755 adult volunteers attended these classes in
2010 (171 more than 2009).
In direct support of NSCC Units, we dramatically increased the
funding support for locally arranged training which directly enhances
both recruiting and retention. With only 20 evolutions supported in
2009, increased funding support for 2010 allowed 61 evolutions to be
supported to the benefit of over 2600 cadets and 500 adult escorts
attending this training. NSCC attributes its continuing monthly
increases in cadet enrollments to the improved funding support in
2010, which allowed this increase in training support.
Again in 2010 placed cadets onboard USCG Barque Eagle for a
summer underway orientation training cruise. This continues to prove
itself to be the chance of a lifetime for NSCC cadets, with many
electing USCG as their career choice after this training.
10

Maintained NSCCs underway seamanship training on the Great

Lakes with 4 underway cruises onboard 2 NSCC YPs and the NSCC
torpedo retriever Grayfox. These were complimented with three
additional cruises having training focus on SCUBA training in the
underwater archeological historic area of Lake Michigan.
Continued again in 2010, cadet opportunity to train with the
Navy at its Marine Mammal Training Facility in San Diego, CA
where 4 cadets participated side by side with their USN counterparts
in caring for and training their charges.
For the first time, piloted a program where NSCC cadets partnered with Navys Drug Education For Youth (DEFY) program.
Cadets participated as leaders and mentors to non-NSCC participants
in this program with great success and promise for expanded participation in the future.
With outstanding support from the USCG, continued to place
cadets aboard USCG stations, cutters, and tenders for what proves to
be among the best of the individual training opportunities offered in
the NSCC. The USCG was particularly helpful with its promulgation
of ALCOAST 102/10 soliciting cadet training opportunities from all
across USCG commands.
Continued placing cadets onboard USN ships under local orders
as operating schedules and opportunity permitted.
Continued offering tuition offsets to cadets accepted into either
USCG or USNA academies summer orientation programs for high
school juniors (NASS or AIM). 2009 participation was 35 cadets,
2010 participation increased to 57 cadets.
Again, as in prior years, enjoyed particularly outstanding support
from members of the United States Navy Reserve, the Army, and
National Guard, whose help and leadership remains essential for summer training.
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps

International Exchange Program (IEP)

In 2010 the US NSCC hosted the International Sea Cadet
Associations annual conference in Arlington, VA. Approximately 14
member nation representatives participated for continued improvement of this program where each nation places cadets annually into
other member nations for 2 weeks of summer training. For 2010 the
NSCC again continued this highly competitive, merit based, and very
low cost to the cadet, exchange program. Cadets were placed in
Australia, United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Scotland,
Russia, and Bermuda to train with fellow cadets in these host nations.
The NSCC and Canada maintained their traditional exchanges with
NSCC cadets training in Nova Scotia and in Quadra, British
Columbia. In turn the NSCC hosted visiting international cadets in
Newport, RI for two weeks of NSCC sponsored training.
Navy League Cadet Training
In 2010, 1324 Navy League cadets accompanied by their escorts
attended Navy League Orientation and Advanced Training nationwide. This was 288 more cadets than participated in 2009. This
increasing participation rate for Navy League cadets is also attributable to the increased funding support in 2010 and to the continued
improvement in training variety and opportunity being afforded these
younger cadets by our adult NLCC escort volunteers. Each and every
League Cadet who wished to attend, got to attend Orientation training
and/or advanced training where cadets learn about small boats and
small boat safety using the U.S. Coast Guards safe boating curriculum. Other advanced Navy League training sites emphasize leadership training and NLCC one week classes in aviation, sailing, survival, leadership, medical and adventure training. These expanded
training opportunities serve the program well in preparing League
cadets for further training in the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, and particularly for their first NSCC recruit training.

Cadets receive instruction in self defense at Master at Arms training at

NAS Oceana, VA.

The Cadet Corps 2010 training programs only succeeded because of
the experienced leadership from dedicated and committed volunteers
and assigned military personnel who, in many cases, sacrificed and
readily gave up summer or holiday vacations and free time to serve as
escort officers for the various training activities. Each of them deserves,
and has earned our most sincere appreciation for a job "Well Done."

Promotion to Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officer First Class

There were 90 Naval Sea Cadets advanced to the Corps highest rate
of Cadet Chief Petty Officer. This is above the normal yearly
advancement rate to CPO. These fine young men and women from
units across the country completed an average of 65 days of fundamental and advanced training with Navy and Coast Guard units
nationwide. Additionally, each passed the same Non-Resident Career
Course required of active duty Sailors competing for advancement.
This real world experience makes these future leaders uncommonly
prepared for the challenges of military service or the civilian marketplace. Cadet Chief Petty Officers are shining examples of the Navy,
Coast Guard, and NSCC core values. All have attended a NSCC Petty
Officer Leadership Academy that provides a standard leadership curriculum. We have also advanced to Petty Officer First Class 132
Cadets who will be eligible for promotion to CPO in 2011. These
Cadets average 48 days of training duty for their promotion. The large
number of Cadets advanced to Petty Officer First bodes well for the
NSCC as it is a bench mark in gauging retention of older Cadets.
Strength Status
End of year registered member enrollment was 10,549. There are
290 Sea Cadet and 86 Navy League Cadet units in full operation. We
surpassed our goal of 7% (achieved 11.5%) growth for the program
by the end of 2010. This was our highest number of members on
board in six years! Activity by region follows:

the minds of American youth. To accomplish this, ongoing training

illustrates to Naval Sea Cadets the advantages and benefits of careers
in the armed services, and in particular, the sea services.
Annually, the NSCC conducts a survey to determine the approximate number of Cadets making this career decision. This survey is
conducted during the annual inspections of the units, which occur during the period January through March. The reported accessions to the
services are only those known to the unit. There are many accessions
that go unreported, which occur 2-5 years after Cadets leave their
units. With about 81% of the units reporting, the survey indicates that
669 known Cadets entered the Armed Forces during the reporting
year ending 31 December 2009. This was an increase over the previous years reported accessions. Each Cadet entering the Armed Forces
is a disciplined, well-trained individual who progresses much better
than those with no experience. Attritions of former Cadets prior to
their completion of obligated service is very low compared to others
who join the military.
