DEVELOPING OUR NATION’S FUTURE LEADERS
WHO WE ARE The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a non-profit development program for youth age 11 through the completion of high school. Established in 1962, we are supported by the Department of the Navy and the Navy League of the United States. We provide compelling, life-changing programs that instill the values of teamwork, discipline, camaraderie and service through our passionate all-volunteer force and our partnerships with our nation’s armed forces. Our unparalleled training program is designed to: • • • •
Develop interest and ability in seamanship and seagoing skills Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-, drug- and gang-free lifestyle Expose cadets to the prestige of a military career and increase advancement potential of those who decide to join our nation’s armed services
“To describe the Naval Sea Cadet program and my personal experience, the words ‘Honor, Courage and Commitment’ are at the top of this list. ... The experience I have gained through leadership roles has provided me the confidence needed in my abilities to guide and train others as a team.” - Petty Officer 1st Class Douglas Davis, NSCC

CAMP PENDLETON PHOTOJOURNALISM TRAINING
The breadth and depth of our training program makes us unique among youth programs. At Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California, cadets in hospital corpsman training participated in a mass casualty exercise with the cadets from photojournalism training acting as the injured patients. The corpsmen succeeded in saving the lives of the mock patients.

MIDSHIPMAN DANIEL GONZALES, NSCC
Through the enduring support of U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard commands around the country, every year our cadets are given plentiful opportunities to spend time aboard ships and vessels. These cadets spent four days aboard USS Anchorage as part of a training exercise. During this time, they interacted with the crew and learned about life aboard a ship. One cadet called his time aboard USS Anchorage “the greatest experience that anyone thinking about joining the Navy could ask for.�

through generous donations of time, support and financial contributions that we are able to train and mentor thousands of young men and women each year. Thank you for your enduring support. All the best,
Warren H. Savage, Jr. National Chairman
“What I love most about Sea Cadets is helping to develop character in young people. By the time cadets leave — and go on to successful careers in the military, in business, in education, in all walks of life — the transformation I see in them is remarkable. They are confident, they freely accept responsibility, they step forward and say ‘I’ll do it’ when a difficult task needs doing.”
LTJG ADAM GLAYSHER, NSCC
Our slogan — “Chart Your Course” — is a call to our cadets to seize the limitless opportunities that are available to them. It harkens to our nautical heritage by advising our cadets to look forward and plot the optimum course that will enable them to achieve their goals, and to mark out the shoal water in life so those dangers can be avoided. It is also a great reminder to us as an organization to be constantly seeking out new ways that we can realize our mission, and ultimately improve the opportunities and experiences of our cadets. We appreciate the strong support and sponsorship we receive from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Maritime Administration that assist us in reaching America’s youth with the most rewarding training that will help them grow and develop into our leaders of tomorrow. In this annual report, we highlight the progress of our organization as well as the training experiences of our cadets. Two of our cadets, currently in their senior year of high school, are specially featured in this report as the perfect embodiment of our program objectives in making a lasting impact on America’s youth. We give our cadets opportunities to build self-confidence, and with it they establish visions for their futures as our next generation of leaders. Finally, we are very thankful for the tremendous support we receive from the patriotic service organizations around the country that sponsor our local units, and for the adult volunteers who make the program possible. It is only

The Band of the West is composed of dedicated Sea Cadet musicians from around the San Francisco Bay area. They conduct approximately 20 performances each year, including appearances at San Francisco Fleet Week, Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies and tributes to the storied 101st Airborne Division. Their mission is simple; as trumpet player Seaman Lena Gemmer states, “I feel lucky to express my honor and gratitude for our veterans through my music.�

WHAT WE DO The Scope of Our Program From our beginning, we have grown from one unit of young men to nearly 400 units with thousands of young men and women throughout the country. A lot has changed since our early days, but we continue our strong commitment to providing unique, life-changing opportunities for our country’s youth. The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps comprises two programs — our senior program for cadets age 13 through the completion of high school and our junior program, the Navy League Cadet Corps, which is for cadets ages 11 through 13. The purpose of the NLCC program is to prepare its cadets for success upon entering NSCC by exposing them to the fundamentals of seamanship and leadership. The senior cadet program aims to expose cadets to the full rigors of a military training program with a focus on leadership skills.
Quality Training is Our Trademark
Through exposure to a unique team-centric, objectivebased environment, cadets learn to demand the best from themselves and others. After enrolling in the program, Sea Cadets must complete Recruit Training. In 2014, our two largest Recruit Trainings were held at the Navy’s Recruit Training Command (RTC) in Great Lakes, Illinois, and at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California. Both events were staffed with the assistance of active-duty service members. Recruit Training events were also held at 19 additional locations, ensuring that cadets from around
10
the country received the very best introduction to the Sea Cadet and military lifestyle. Our Recruit Training is modeled after the Navy’s and is designed to equip Sea Cadets with the skills necessary to succeed at subsequent advanced training events. League Cadets are given the opportunity to attend Navy League Orientation, which is an age-appropriate version of Recruit Training. League Cadets who complete this orientation can participate in advanced training sessions. Our advanced training program balances the traditions of our naval heritage with the challenges of today’s world. We are deeply committed to our nautical roots and cadets are encouraged to develop abilities in seamanship and seagoing skills. Ample opportunities for shipboard training exist along both coasts as well as aboard our training vessels in the Great Lakes region. Additionally, our program is shaping the next generation of leaders and problem-solvers. The skills learned at our science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) training events keep our cadets on the leading edge of today’s hightech environment. Cadets have fun, too; an alumni reflects, “The Sea Cadets provided me the opportunity to do things that my friends going to summer camp could never imagine.” Envision spending your winter vacation camped out in the woods in negative temperatures or spending two weeks in Sweden as part of our International Exchange Program.

Lead, Learn, Excel
As cadets complete training requirements and hone their leadership skills at their local unit, they qualify for rank advancement. With advancement comes additional responsibilities and opportunities to lead — at a local and national level. This year, more than 300 of our senior cadets served as staff at national training events with the responsibility of mentoring junior cadets. In this way, our cadets learn to lead through practical experience, passing on lessons learned to the next generation. As cadet Chief Petty Officer Peter Lindsey states, “The beauty of the Sea Cadet program is that knowledge and experience never become lost with those who graduate the program; they’re passed from leader to future leaders, and are therefore preserved.”
Building Technical Excellence
From aerial and underwater robotics to cybersecurity, thousands of our cadets seized opportunities for technical training this year. Our focus on STEM programs continued with participation in the CyberPatriot and SeaPerch programs. CyberPatriot is a youth outreach program of the Air Force Association under sponsorship of Northrop Grumman that trains youth in the practical applications of computer network defense within a competitive framework. We sent two teams to compete in the 2014 National Finals and one of our volunteers, Ken Steffey,

Teams from Southern California compete at the SeaPerch National Challenge in Mississippi. In 2014, approximately 3,500 cadets participated in the SeaPerch program. This year, we were also able to offer training to more than 75 of our volunteers. Adult training ensures that the SeaPerch initiative will continue to flourish and reach more cadets.
was recognized as the CyberPatriot Coach of the Year by the Air Force Association. Our partnership with the Office of Naval Research allows our cadets to participate in the SeaPerch program, an innovative underwater robotics program that equips cadets with the resources they need to build an underwater “I am learning to be a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Building a great leader. I think SeaPerch ROV teaches one of the best aspects basic skills in ship and of the program is submarine design, and learning leadership.” encourages cadets to explore concepts in naval - Seaman Apprentice architecture and engineering. We sent teams Garret Smith, NSCC to compete in the national championships, and continued to train adult leaders to educate cadets on the fundamentals needed to design and build their own ROVs.

TRAINING
MIDSHIPMAN ALEXANDER DALE, NSCC
Our Training Year With funding restored in 2014, following a 60% reduction in 2013 caused by sequestration, we were able to once again fully support the wide variety of quality training opportunities traditionally offered to our cadets and volunteers. We make every effort to ensure that our training is affordable and accessible. In order to meet this goal, our cadet training fees were reduced, averaging $120 per week per cadet. We fully restored funding support to locally arranged training evolutions and Officer Professional Development (OPD) training. In 2014, USNSCC headquarters issued 6,269 individual cadet orders in support of 159 NSCC and 37 NLCC evolutions, supported more than 60 locally arranged training opportunities, and helped fund approximately 50 OPD events.
Our advanced training program was as robust as ever with options ranging from scuba diving in Puerto Rico to field operations in California to Petty Officer Leadership Academy in Florida. Winter training events during the 2014 holiday break were supported by the federal grant, with approximately 51 evolutions occurring at 26 locations around the country. Participation in winter training included more than 1,600 cadets, a program record. The International Exchange Program regained its momentum, sending 21 cadets and seven escorts representing the USNSCC in South Korea, Canada, Sweden, Hong Kong, Bermuda and the United Kingdom. In return, we hosted 33 international cadets and 16 escorts for two weeks at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island.

TOP TRENDS OF 2014 Maintaining Strong Relationships By communicating the value and benefits derived from participation in the Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Navy League Cadet Corps programs, we have reinforced our supportive relationships with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, Maritime Administration and other strategic partners.
Fostering a Sense of Community This year, we focused on giving our community a voice. Through the words and camera lenses of our cadets and volunteers, our program came to life in new ways and for new audiences, expanding awareness of our mission.
Providing Exceptional Training Working closely with the Navy’s Recruit Training Command, we continued the process of standardizing our Recruit Training across the country. This effort is focused on aligning ourselves with the Navy’s best practices so that we can give our cadets the most exceptional introduction to our program and to the military.
“The Sea Cadets taught me what it means to be an American, helped me ... get accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy and provided me the fundamentals that I needed in order to succeed there as a midshipman. Because of all I learned in the Sea Cadet program, I did well at the Naval Academy and was able to get the coveted flight school slot after graduation and achieved my goal of becoming a naval aviator. For that, I will be forever thankful.” - LT Andrew Hrynkiw, U.S. Navynt enough. COURTESY OF LT HRYNKIW, USN

Chief Petty Officer Forrest Simpson (left) enjoyed the opportunity to visit with Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert, at the Pentagon. Simpson has received notification of a four-year Naval ROTC scholarship, as well as early acceptance to several schools. Simpson was selected as Sea Cadet of the Year for 2014.
“A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT” Chief Petty Officer Forrest Simpson reflected on our program’s many practical opportunities to lead. “Some of the hallmarks of Sea Cadets, and what initially attracted me to the program, are the many incredible practical experiences. What other teenager can say that they have gone out on missions with the Coast Guard, flown in military aircraft, or traveled to a foreign country to learn about their Navy? However, I believe that the most influential experiences that I have had in Sea Cadets have not been out at sea or in the cockpit of a helicopter, but in the leadership positions that I have held. Learning to work cohesively with and effectively manage people from a wide range of backgrounds is a skill set that I have used in every other aspect of my life, yet is something that I have only learned through the unique environment of Sea Cadets.”

Sea Cadets advanced to the rank of petty officer first class
senior cadets served as staff at national training events
Achieving the rank of chief petty officer is considered the pinnacle of a cadet’s career. To achieve this milestone, cadets must complete an average of 65 days of training and pass the same non-resident career course required of active-duty Sailors competing for advancement.
Cadets who advance to petty officer first class have completed a rigorous training program and will be eligible for promotion to chief petty officer in 2015. The large number of cadets advanced to chief petty officer and petty officer first class indicates successful retention.
Qualified senior cadets can serve as staff at national training events. They are carefully selected and must have completed specific training in order to be considered. As staff, they are involved in the direct supervision of trainees, giving them the opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills. 17
