Sea Cadet Advancement

HOW DO I GET PROMOTED?

To advance to the next rank, Sea Cadets must spend a certain time in their current rank, complete listed coursework (book learning), and take certain trainings (in-person learning). To advance in some of the higher ranks, Cadets must additionally pass exams.

Trainings are an integral part of the Sea Cadet program.  Throughout the year, Cadets learn and experience much as a unit through coursework, trips, drills and more - all of this is in preparation for Summer and Winter Trainings.  This is where Cadets get to spend 24/7 learning everything from medical field ops to scuba diving.

When you have found the training you would like to attend, register through the Parent Portal. 

Recruit Training and League Orientation Training

Before any cadet can attend Advanced Trainings, they must first attend boot camp. For Sea Cadets, that is called "Recruit Training" and for League Cadets that is called "League Orientation Training."

​

Recruit Training is required for Sea Cadets to advance in rank whereas League Orientation is not required - however League Cadets who do not attend Orientation training cannot attend any other trainings.
