SUBJ: 2019 SUMMER TRAINING FOR NAVAL SEA CADETS
1. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is developing its 2019 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 25 March 2019.
If additional training opportunities arise after this date, please notify the POC as NSCC
will continually update its list.
5. NSCC POC is Mr. Daniel Sydes at (703) 312-1547 or dsydes@seacadets.org.
