Together, we foster a spirit of leadership, discipline, and patriotism as we embark on our journey of growth, knowledge, and service to our nation.
WELCOME ABOARD
This handbook serves as a guide for parents during their child’s involvement with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC). The USNSCC is comprised of two programs: the Navy Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) for ages 13-17, and the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) for ages 10-13. This handbook will assist parents of current cadets and those with an interest in having their child join the program.
Over the next few months, your family will be introduced to the regulations and customs of the USNSCC. We strive to instill a sense of personal honor, patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and confidence in an anti-drug, anti-alcohol, anti-tobacco, and anti-gang environment.
Many things about the USNSCC may be unfamiliar, especially for parents with no military or military-affiliated experience. Because of this, it is not uncommon for parents of a new cadet to feel “lost” and a little disoriented. The USNSCC maintains an open-door policy with all parents, which means that if, after reading this booklet, there are additional questions or concerns, parents are welcome to address them with the unit’s staf
