SUBJ:  2018 SUMMER TRAINING FOR NAVAL SEA CADETS
1. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is developing its 2018 catalog of Navy
and Coast Guard summer training opportunities. NSCC requests information
on the number of Coast Guard billets, locations, and types of training
available for the summer months. The catalog of available billets will be
sent to all cadet units for their consideration.
2. NSCC, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is the primary youth program
the Coast Guard supports. NSCC is a congressionally-chartered volunteer
youth group for young adults aged 13 through 17.  NSCC fosters good
citizenship and an interest and appreciation of our nation's maritime
services. Cadets use the same texts, classrooms, training aids, and
examinations given to Navy personnel. The NSCC is sponsored by the Navy
League of the United States with Navy Support and Assistance to Youth
Groups, OPNAVINST 5760.5D assigning Navy Recruiting Command as program manager.
3. NSCC is seeking one- to two-week on-the-job training opportunities for
cadets with Coast Guard units afloat and ashore. Shipboard billets for female
cadets must be accommodated without requirement for female NSCC escort officers.
4. I request commanding officers and officers in charge consider supporting
this great opportunity to enhance the lives and development of our young
Americans. If you can support, please provide a description of billet
opportunities, including available dates and number and gender of cadets who
can be accommodated, to NSCC at the POC below by 27 April 2018. If additional
training opportunities arise after this date, please notify the POC as NSCC
will continually update its list.
5. NSCC POC is Mr. Stephen Bunting at (703) 312-1543 or sbunting@seacadets.org.
