Sea Cadet Trainings
Sea Cadet training consists of Navy Non-Resident Training Courses (NRTC), training evolution's (away from local units), shipboard training, and training arranged locally by units.
All new cadets enter the program at the rate of Seaman Recruit. Recruits must first complete nine days or two weeks of summer recruit training ("boot camp") at Navy and Coast Guard recruit training commands and selected locations throughout the country. The boot camp curriculum includes naval history, customs, traditions, seamanship and navigation as well as physical training and testing, training on marching and facing movements and much more.
Once cadets have completed boot camp, they may take full advantage of Naval Sea Cadet opportunities during succeeding summer and winter evolution's, including advanced one to two-week training periods aboard Navy and Coast Guard vessels and bases.
