Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sea cadet corps?
The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a leadership development nonprofit for young people, ages 10 through 17. Sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and supported by both the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, our passionate all-volunteer force leads our units. Every year our cadets participate in training opportunities such as scuba, field and medical training, photojournalism, military police science and sailing. When cadets join the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, they embark upon a path of lifelong leadership. The program will teach them how to lead groups of their peers successfully and will also inspire them to become leaders in their schools and communities.

What Our Cadets Are Saying
Q: VIKING Division is always doing something in the national capital region. What are your favorite drill activities? The best thing you’ve ever done as a unit?
A: "My favorite drill activities are the ones where we get to go out into the local community and serve all the men and women who have risked their lives in service to this country. These activities range from helping out at the local American Legion and VFW to volunteering at the Marine Corps Marathon. Not only do these activities put a smile on all veterans, but it provides a positive impact to the community around us. It is a great honor to be able to go out into the community and represent not only the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, but the Navy as well.
The best thing that I have ever done with the VIKING Division is scuba diving. Even though it was in a pool, being able to have the opportunity to experience what scuba diving is like was awesome. With my schedule outside of Sea Cadets, I don’t think I would’ve ever had this opportunity at this point in my life."

What Our Cadets Are Saying
The characteristics of the individual cadets are what makes our unit special. Each and every cadet has the passion, motivation, and will to make themselves and our unit better. We all have a strong commitment to the unit, and most of us make the corps one of our top priorities. The pride we possess for the VIKING Division pours out from each of our cadets when we are at drill, training, or other special events. One unique aspect of our division is our pursuit of brotherhood among the cadet leaders. The leadership team makes it a point to bond with one another, which strengthens our combined ability to lead during and outside of drill. This promotes unity within the cadets, because it allows them get to know each other’s characteristics and how they operate, which ultimately promotes a stronger bond between us. " |
