JOINING AIRPAC SQUADRON
Becoming a Sea Cadet
The Naval Sea Cadet program is for young men and women between the ages of 11 to 17. Candidates interested in joining the Sea Cadets are required to have and maintain at least a ‘C’ average in school. In addition, they must be crime free, drug free, physically fit and a US Citizen.
Young ladies find being a Sea Cadet especially appealing. As in the Navy, promotion,
rank, authority and achievements have nothing to do with sex, race, or religion,
and has everything to do intelligence, hard work and commitment. A significant percentage
of AIRPAC cadets are young ladies -

Dual memberships in other organizations such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Civil Air Patrol and JROTC programs are also welcomed and encouraged.
Joining the Sea Cadets has always been the decision of the cadet – not the parent. Parents are important, however, and parental permission is required in order for a cadet to join. Support of the parent(s) is also instrumental in the subsequent achievement of the cadet within the program.
Although cadets are under no obligation to remain in the program, they are responsible for meeting the standards required of them to remain in the program. Cadets in good standing maintain at least a ‘C’ average in school. They also remain crime free, drug free and physically fit.

AIRPAC currently has a limited number of openings for youths at all the age levels.
