Naval Sea Cadet Corps Seeking Volunteers |
|
|
The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is for American youth, ages 13 through 17, who
have a desire to learn about the Navy, Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and Merchant
Marines. Sea Cadets are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to wear Navy uniforms
appropriately marked with the NSCC insignia. The objectives of the Sea Cadet program
are to introduce youth to naval life, to develop in them a sense of pride, patriotism,
courage, and self-reliance, and to maintain an environment free of drugs and gangs.

The Pathfinder Unit of the NSCC regularly drills at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD.
Currently, there are 30 active Sea Cadets involved with the program. The unit is
under the direction of seven adult leaders in which three are active duty
officers of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service.

Given the rapid program growth witnessed this past year, we are looking for additional
adult volunteers to assist in the drills, leadership, and administrative duties.
We are in desperate need of female officers. Should you be interested, please contact
the unit’s executive officer, LCDR David Staten, USPHS, at
statend@fda.hhs.gov
