Step 5 - Oath

Promise of Naval Sea Cadets  (USNSCC cadets take this oath at the time of enrollment).

 

"I promise to serve God, honor our flag, abide by Naval Sea Cadet Corps Regulations, and carry out the orders of the officers appointed over me, and so conduct myself as to be a credit to myself, my unit, the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, the Navy and my country."

Step 1 - Parent/Guardian Interview

The commanding officer, or a designated representative, must interview the parent(s)/guardian(s) of each cadet applicant to ensure their understanding of the goals and objectives of the NSCC, the nature of the training, and the need for their support in the conduct of training. They will be advised that participation in the NSCC is not a commitment to future enlistment in the armed forces.

 

Step 2 -  Parent/Guardian Signing and Briefing

Parent(s)/guardian(s) must sign the agreement on the Standard Release Form/Cadet Application (NSCADM001) in the presence of an NSCC officer. A cadet applicant cannot be enrolled in the NSCC until the agreement has been signed. Additionally,  parent(s)/guardian(s) will be briefed on the coverage provided by the NSCC accident and health insurance program. Parent/guardian shall sign a copy of the insurance brochure which should be placed on left side of the cadet record.

 

The success of the NSCC/NLCC programs in accomplishing defined training goals, depends in large measure on parental support. The NSCC thrives on a family concept where parents/guardians volunteer support upon enrolling their children as cadets in the program. The NSCC/NLCC Parental Agreement (NSCADM004) is designed to meet the need of formally requesting parents to assume an active role in activities of the NSCC program. The Parental Agreement form is to be completed at the time of the required unit commanding officer/parent/cadet applicant interview which is conducted during the enrollment process. Having indicated the degree to which they will participate, unit commanding officers must follow-up immediately with the parents/guardians.

 

Step 3 - Medical Forms

There are two required medical forms for enrollment. The Report of Medical History (NSCADM020) and the Report of Medical Examination Form (NSCADM021). Additionally, it is required that a copy of the prospective cadet’s shot record be attached to the Report of Medical History form.

 

Step 4 - Enrollment Fees

A portion of the enrollment fees are established by the National Board of Directors. Cadet applicants are not permitted to participate in unit activities until these fees have been paid. Additional fees are added by the unit for uniforms, name tapes/name tags, and other unit specific requirements. After the application process has been completed and it is determined that the cadet applicant is qualified, enrollment is recorded on the NSCC Enrollment and Registration Form and forwarded, with enrollment fees, to National Headquarters. A cadet applicant is formally enrolled in the NSCC, and may participate in all unit activities, as of the date the NSC-07 and enrollment fees are mailed (post marked) to National Headquarters.
