Sea Cadets are in a year-round state of learning and training. During summer they
can participate in numerous trainings throughout the United States and the world
at little or no cost to the cadet. Much of the training a cadet receives is similar
to the actual training Navy personnel receive. Sea Cadets have access to hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of Navy training including SCUBA diving, firefighting,
medical and surgical training, search and rescue, naval aviation, and much, much
more.
Training takes place in the class room, with lectures and computerized lesson plans.
Training also takes place in actual hands-on performance and on-the-job training.
It can also take place on the land, in the air, and at sea. At-sea, training takes
place aboard Navy and Coast Guard surface vessels and submarines. Sea Cadet training
also takes place in countries throughout the world, including England, Australia,
Japan, Russia, Italy, and Canada.
