The Commanding Officer’s
Discretion
1. CO's may waive Time In Grade/Time in
NLCC requirements for cadets who join at
age 12, excel in the path of advancement,
and demonstrate good leadership
qualities.
2. Although summer training is available for
NLCC cadets, it is not a requirement for
advancement.
REGULATIONS
When you become a Navy League Cadet, you agree to
obey the rules and regulations of the Navy League
Cadet Corps.
Imagine a football or baseball game with no rules, each
player doing only what he or she wished. Before long,
everyone would be very confused and it would be
impossible to continue the game.
The NLCC is really a large team of cadets and leaders in
Training Ships and Companies throughout the nation.
To make sure that everyone gets fair treatment and the
same chance to advance, there are rules and regulations
which everyone must follow.
ENROLLMENT
1. AGE: You must be at least 11 years of age and not yet
14. Cadets who are 13 may consider enrolling in the Sea
Cadets. This decision, however, should take into account
the maturity of the cadet and when his 14th birthday is.
The final decision is up to the Commanding Officer of the
NSCC unit.
2. SCHOOL: You must be enrolled in school and must
make satisfactory grades as established by local school
authorities.
3. UNIT VISIT: Cadet applicants and their parents or
guardians should visit at least one NLCC drill (meeting)
together. This allows them to see the activities provided
and to talk to some of the cadets and officers about the
program before they decide whether to enroll.
SPECIAL NOTE: MEDICATION
Prospective cadets who must take any medication, either prescription
or over the counter, or use inhalers on a regular basis, must be
informed that as long as they are on medication they are not allowed
to attend NLCC Orientation or Advanced Training.
While attending NLCC Orientation or Advanced Training is not a
requirement for NLCC promotion, not attending does seriously limit
a cadet's opportunity to participate fully in the NLCC program.
Taking a cadet off all medication for the duration of summer training is
not advised as it may pose a health hazard. Parents of cadets, who
have to take medication, should be advised to give serious
consideration to other youth organizations, whose programs are not
so physically demanding, before making a decision to enroll their
child in the Navy League Cadet Corps.
THE NLCC PROMISE
Upon acceptance in the NLCC, you will
make the following promise that you will
do your very best to live up to the
standards of the NLCC, and to obey all the
rules and regulations, no matter how strict
they may seem at times.
You will usually recite the NLCC promise in
ceremonies with your unit.
Raise Your Right Hand…
"I, (STATE YOUR NAME) PROMISE
TO SERVE GOD, HONOR OUR
FLAG,
ABIDE BY THE NAVY LEAGUE
CADET CORPS REGULATIONS,
CARRY OUT THE ORDERS OF THE
OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER
ME,
AND SO CONDUCT MYSELF
AS TO BE A CREDIT TO MY SHIP,
THE NAVY LEAGUE CADET
CORPS,
THE NAVY AND MY COUNTRY."
Congratulations, and WELCOME
ABOARD!

Cadet Corps
Question 1. Who is responsible for determining NLCC
policies and programs?
The National Board of Directors, established by
Public Law 87-655, is the governing body of the
NLCC and NSCC and is responsible for
determining the policies and programs of both
Corps and for the control of all funds.
It is important to know that our organization has
rules. It does not matter where our unit is
located, one main group is responsible for
policies and programs that we ALL have to
follow.
Question 2. In each unit, the _______________ is
second in command.
The Executive Officer is second in command.
When the Commanding Officer is absent, the
Executive Officer takes charge.
You probably already know that when your
Commanding Officer is not present during drills
or other events, your Executive Officer is second
in command and therefore in charge.
Question 3. Special Assistants to the CO may include:
Special Assistants may include a
Chaplain, a Medical Assistant, and
Division Officers.
Each unit is unique. Your unit may or
may not have a Chaplain or
Medical Assistant. The point is
that a unit CAN have many
different Special Assistants to the
CO. All of the above are an
important part of the unit and can
assist the CO in many ways.
[If you do not know what a “CO” is…
A “CO’ is the “Commanding Officer.”]
Question 4.
The Executive Director implements
the policies established by the Board of Directors?
The Executive Director, assisted by a small staff
and by Field Representatives, implements the
policies established by the Board of Directors
and is responsible for the day-to-day operation
and administration of the NLCC and NSCC.
It is true that the Executive Director implements
the policies established by the Board of
Directors.
Having a chain-of-command is
important because it keeps us organized and
helps all units run effectively.
Question 5.
The _____ Officer is responsible to the
Executive Officer for instruction and training of cadets.
The Training Officer is responsible to the Executive
Officer for instruction and training of cadets and
adult leaders.
The Operations Officer is responsible to the
Executive Officer for the proper conduct of
inspections, drills and other military evolutions
conducted by the unit.
The Administrative Officer is responsible to the
Executive Officer for all unit administrative
matters.
Summary
We need to know who is on our Sea Cadet
team.
Our team includes Cadets and Leaders.
At this time, I would like to have all the
Leaders in this room stand up. One by
one, please give your name and your
leadership position.
End of Syllabus Lesson I - 1
This rare oil painting by American artist
Burnell Poole, “The 6th Battle
Squadron of the Grand Fleet
Leaving the Firth of Forth", is one of
less than two dozen paintings
owned by the Navy that depicts U.S.
naval operations in World War One
(WWI).
After years of being considered a total
loss by Navy Art Gallery curators it
has been restored to near perfect
condition. The entire process took
several months, but the result is the
total recovery of a painting that is
sure to establish Burnell Poole’s
name among the best marine
painters of the early 20th century.
