Summer Training Info

Drill_Condition _____

Recruit and Advanced Training Information: Summer training programs provide cadets with an introduction to the Navy and Navy career fields, supported by classroom and practical training in service specialties of their choice. Opportunities to train at other service component bases and stations as well as opportunities to train at maritime academies and onboard NOAA ships, and with other maritime related or general citizenship programs will also be provided.

The Four Step Process...

Step 1. Identify your training need. Consider your promotion requirements.

Step 2. Summer Training: Use the above sites to explore training opportunities. The Summer Training Schedule is published end of February/beginning of March of each year. IT CHANGES OFTEN so view it regularly! The schedule will include type of training, dates, cost, point of contact/COTC (CO of training command) information and other pertinent information. Shown below is an example where the COTC is boxed in red. Email the COTC and inform him/her of your intentions and indicate a NSCTNG001 is in process. Include the Cincinnati Division CO on copy.

Step 3. Complete ALL blocks of the NSCTNG 001. See example above for the four character code (shown in green) that needs to go into Box 4c. In this example the cadet has chosen to go to Homeland Security in Arkansas. [Code=HSAR]

If the below requirements are met, the unit CO will sign the NSCTNG 001 verifying the cadet/adult is QUALIFIED to attend training. The CO keeps "sea-cadet" office hours open at his West Chester work location. (work phone 513-552-6700)

Cadet Requirements To Go on Training

a. PROPERLY ENROLLED. The expiration date of the ID Card MUST EXTEND PAST THE ENDING DATE OF THE REQUESTED TRAINING.

b. MEDICALLY QUAILIFIED. The cadet MUST BE FREE OF ALL PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. There is a waiver process but you need to apply! Call CO.

c. PHYSICALY QUALIFIED. CADETS MUST SUCCESSFULLY PASS THE NSCC PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST PRIOR TO ATTENDING TRAINING.

Step 4 (New for 2010). Submit the NSCTNG 001 with the required training deposit (made payable to United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps unless otherwise directed) to ADMIN (ENS Lusk) as EARLY AS YOU CAN. An ID Card with an expiration date extending beyond the end date of the training will reserve a slot for the cadet/adult SUBJECT TO COTC ACCEPTANCE. The Cincinnati Division will submit the paperwork.

Note. The COTC (not the unit CO) is the APPROVING AUTHORITY for cadets attending training. Additionally, the COTC is the APPROVING AUTHORITY for personnel requesting Staff Cadet and Escort Officer positions.

Note.. DO NOT submit the NSCTNG 001/ 002 for training evolutions marked Pending or TBD. The Summer Training Schedule will be updated daily or when new information becomes available.

Step 5 (info only - no cadet action required). The COTC will forward the original NSCTNG 001/ 002 to National HQ for the issue of National Training Authority NSCTNG 005/ 006.

Step 6 (info only - no cadet action required). Upon receipt of the NSCTNG 001/ 002 NHQ will verify the enrollment. If the directions in step (4) were not followed concerning the ID Card, the NSCTNG 001/ 002 will be returned to the unit CO noting orders are pending receipt of enrollment fees. A current enrollment and COTC approval will guarantee NHQ Orders. NHQ does not accept faxed copies of checks or credit cards. ALL orders are mailed to the Unit CO or the person that is designated to receive unit mail.

Step 7. Prior to attending training the unit CO will interview cadets/adults to determine the medical and physical status has not changed and endorse the NSCTNG 005/ 006. If there is a change, the NSCTNG 005/ 006 will be held in abeyance until a family physician certifies the person is medically and physically qualified. Personnel who report for training with medical or physical problems will be sent home at the expense of the cadet/adult or the units expense.

Note. Cadets applying for multiple training opportunities will write across the top of the NSCTNG 001 the training codes of the other ATs they are requesting. This information is for NHQ use only and WILL NOT generate additional orders. A separate NSCTNG 001 is required for each training evolution.

"Boot Camp"

NSCC & NLCC Training Categories.

1. Recruit Training . Recruit training is the cadets introduction to military routine and discipline and is the cadets first step towards advancing in the Sea Cadet Program. Cadets spend one to two weeks learning basic Navy subjects, elementary seamanship, basic damage control, and quarters maintenance. Additionally, cadets participate in Physical Fitness Training. While attending Recruit Training a cadet must pass a Physical Fitness Test in order to receive credit for completing Recruit Training. Successful completion of Recruit Training is required before attending Advanced Training. It is the unit Commanding Officers responsibility to ensure cadets are prepared medically, physically and psychologically prior to attending Recruit Training. To qualify for Recruit Training a cadet must meet the below requirements.

a. Be enrolled in the NSCC program a minimum of six weeks prior to the start of Recruit Training. This time limit is established to ensure proper enrollment, opportunity to get required uniforms and opportunity to complete BMR requirements. If a new cadet can meet all these requirements in under 6 weeks, he or she can go.

b. NSCC cadets: Be age 14 prior to 1 September of the training year or be a former NLCC Cadet who is age 13 and has successfully completed NLCC Orientation Training scheduled by NHQ and is considered mature enough by the unit commanding officer.

c. Passed the Physical Fitness Test at the unit prior to attending Recruit Training.

d. Successfully complete BMR course number 14325 or receive training on Chapter 1, sections on Hazing, Sexual Harassment, and Fraternization and Chapters 5, 6, 9, and 10 prior to reporting to Recruit Training. These chapters will provide the cadet the requisite knowledge needed to complete recruit training. While formal completion of the BMR is best, training at the unit level on these specific chapters and sections is sufficient for meeting the prerequisites for attending Recruit Training. The unit commanding officers signature on the orders certifies the cadet is ready for training, which includes having completed the BMR, or has received training on these specific chapters and sections.

e. Obtain the required uniform items (Sea Bag List) and comply with directives directed by the Commanding Officer of Training Contingent (COTC).

f. NEW Check for travel form and seabag list --> HERE

"Advanced Training"

Advanced Training Categories. To qualify for and receive credit for advanced training (AT), cadets must first successfully complete NSCC Recruit Training. Unit COs must be familiar with the prerequisites for each AT before submitting the training request NSCTNG 001 to the COTC. Prerequisites will be noted in the Remarks Section of the Summer Training Schedule and in the Summer Training Guidance. IF the unit CO is uncertain they should contact the COTC.

a. Advanced training is that training promulgated in the NHQ Training Schedules. General categories include Airman, Leadership, Medical, Seamanship, Seabee Training, Submarine Seminars, Master-At-Arms and Music School. As additional opportunities are developed they will be added to the Summer Training Schedule. Not all training evolutions within a given category will be the same. Availability of local resources, to include instructors and training aids, are vastly different and dictate the differences. Where possible and as available, NHQ will maintain a master curriculum for each of the general training categories to serve as a footprint or model for that type training at the different sites.

b. Special training categories such as SEAL, SCUBA, EOD/Diving will require cadets to pass a special physical fitness test in addition to passing the NSCC physical fitness test.

c. Information on the International Exchange Program (IEP), Canadian Exchanges and Independently Arranged Exchange Programs will be promulgated by separate Information Letter and through the IEP Information Letter promulgated by NHQ each spring. International Exchange Program Information is maintained at the IEP website at www.usnscc.org, click International Exchange Program.

d. The Foundation for Teaching Economics (FTE). Each year one-week programs are offered at prestigious college campuses throughout the United States . NHQ will promulgate information to the program by Information Letter. Cadets attending this program will receive credit for Advanced Training. Visit the FTE website at www.fte.org for more information.

"Locally Arranged Training"

Locally Arranged Training. Training arranged by the unit CO and not listed on the Summer Training Schedule will be considered as Locally Arranged Training. Locally Arranged Training will NOT be considered Advanced Training for advancement unless approved by NHQ with the following exception: Military Recruiting Offices/Stations. To receive credit for Advanced Training for advancement, Locally Arranged Training must meet the following criteria.

1. The purposed training must be a minimum of 5 days.

2. The training must support the mission of the unit and the goals and objectives of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

3. The proposed training must be in a structured environment.

4. If funding is required the Local Funding Request NSCTNG 023 will be submitted.

5. A critical element to advanced training (in addition to subject matter learned) is the leadership/follower ship attributes learned when training with a group of cadets; being in charge and/or having another cadet in charge of you, and learning to take and give direction. One or two cadets assigned on local orders to a legal office or dental clinic, although meeting the all the criteria above, doesnt necessarily provide the leadership/follower ship training so essential to the NSCC program. Accordingly, the general policy is that NSCC cadets can count only one such assignment towards advancement in their NSCC career, but having that assignment count as an advanced training is still subject to NHQ approval. Cadet performance and personal family financial situations may dictate that waivers of this policy are warranted. NHQ will entertain waivers. E-mail requests are encouraged.

BOTTOM LINEÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'Ã'¢Ã¢'Ã'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Ã'Ã'¢ÃÆ'Ã'¢'Ã'Ã'¬ ''ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'Ã'¢Ã¢'Ã'¬ ''ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ'ââ'¬ ''ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ ''ÃÆ'Æ'Æ''ÃÆ'Æ''ÃÆ''Ã'Ã'¦. THE UNIT CO MUST REQUEST AND RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM NHQ FOR ALL LOCALLY ARRANGED TRAINING TO BE CONSIDERED AS ADVANCED TRAINING FOR ADVANCEMENT.

"USCG Training"

U.S. COAST GUARD Training. The USCG is a strong supporter of the Sea Cadet Program and offers excellent opportunities for cadets. Training opportunities are noted in the Summer Training Guidance. Additionally, unit COs are encouraged to coordinate with USCG Stations in their area for local training. To receive credit for Advanced Training the USCG Training must meet the following criteria.

1. Must be a minimum of 5 days.

2. The unit CO must submit the Coast Guard Statement of Understanding NSCTNG 017 to NHQ.

3. If funding is required the unit CO must submit the Request for Reimbursement of Coast Guard NSCTNG 022.

4. The Local Training Orders NSCTNG 003 must be used to verify attending the training.

"Advice for Parents"

Summer and Advanced Training Logistics . Unit CO is required to brief cadets and parents on the dos and donts below when it comes to arranging public transportation to and from a training location during the summer.

1. It is the parents responsibility to arrange transportation for their child to and from the training site. This means from the doorstep of the unit-drilling site or individual residence to the doorstep of the training site. When using commercial transportation in addition to airline or train tickets, fees for taxi or shuttle bus should be considered. As a courtesy ONLY, COTCs may offer travel assistance to and from local airports, train stations or bus stations.

2. Do not purchase Non-Refundable Airline Tickets. Training evolutions are dependent upon escort availability, host site accommodations, and host training site security measures in effect at the time of training. Changes to non-refundable airline tickets incur a penalty that averages $75 to $100. NHQ will not reimburse for these penalties, regardless of reason.

3. Some commercial air carriers do not allow under aged children to travel unescorted by an adult. If parents or units arrange for unaccompanied commercial travel for cadets be sure to ask if the carrier will honor your arrangement.

4. Parents must be reminded to respect security when entering military bases. Most NSCC training is conducted on military bases. Base security personnel are very sensitive to visitors and are very focused on their particular base security measures. These security measures pertain to cadets/adults attending training evolutions on the Summer Training Schedule and "Locally Arranged Training.

"Staff Cadet Information"

Staff Cadets. To enhance and develop leadership skills the COTC will select qualified cadets for the training evolution. A ratio of 1 to 10, one staff cadet for every 10 cadets attending training will be the basic guideline for selecting staff cadets. In nominating cadets unit CO will observe the following criteria.

a. Properly enrolled. The expiration date MUST exceed the last day of the training.

b. Medically and Physically qualified and mature.

c. Cadets should be graduates of NSCC Leadership Training (POLA) and have completed at least one other Advanced Training (AT). Completion of the Junior Petty Officer (JPD) Course cannot be substituted for POLA completion.

d. ONLY Cadet Petty Officers E4 or higher will be assigned to Staff Cadet Duties involving direct supervision of trainees. Cadets in the grade of E3 may be assigned administrative duties and watch standing duties.

e. Cadets will not perform back-to-back staff cadet duties unless authorized by NHQ. Staff Cadet Duties at Stacked training (multiple trainings at one site) is authorized.

f. New cadets graduating from Recruit Training WILL NOT roll over to Staff Cadet Duty at NLCC Orientation or Advanced Orientation.

g. NLCC Cadets will not serve as Staff Cadets, unless specifically approved by NHQ.

h. Staff Cadets will pay the same price as other cadets to attend the training. NO Reduced prices. Staff cadet training counts as advanced training. Back-to-back staff cadet opportunities during Stacked Training will not count towards banked training.

i. Perspective Staff Cadets will complete and submit the NSCTNG 001 along with the appropriate deposit to the COTC for approval and a copy of a valid ID Card. Fees for second and subsequent training evolutions will be promulgated in the Summer Training Guidance.

j. The COTC will submit the NSCTNG 001 to NHQ for the issuing of the National Training Authority NSCTNG 005.

k. NHQ will verify the enrollment of the cadet, process the orders and forward a copy of the NSCTNG 005 to the unit CO.

l. Prior to the start of the training evolution, the CO will verify there is NO change in the cadets medical and physical status and endorse the bottom of the NSCTNG 005. The same rules apply as in paragraph H-9 above.
