A medical examination similar to a high school sports physical is required for all cadet applicants to the Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) or Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC). No one will be denied admission to the NSCC/NLCC due to a medical disability. Where a medical condition precludes full, unlimited participation, a Request for Accommodation (NSCADM 015) may be presented by the parent or guardian for review so the cadet may participate in NSCC activities to the maximum extent possible.
Our Volunteers are the muscle of our program, committed to providing challenging and engaging training around the country. Whether you can make a monthly commitment of 30 hours or two hours, you will make a difference in the lives of young people.
American Pride Squadron has openings available for young people who want to learn about our military, are ambitious, self-disciplined, physically motivated, and have strong academic performance. If this sounds like you, then keep reading. Cadets must meet all eligibility requirements including application, parent/cadet interview, medical screening, and payment of required fees. Parents of prospective cadets can begin the enrollment process by completing the Cadet Application. A great reference for parents to read about cadet life, culture and US NAVAL SEA CADET history is the Parent’s Handbook. Please download and read it.
