Our Cadet Program
Our Cadet Program is patterned after the United States Navy. Boys & Girls are accepted into the Cadet Program at 9 years of age and older, and advance in rate according to their skills and achievements. As a cadet successfully passes his or her assigned course, they will advance in rate and experience. As a cadet gains experience in military procedures and drill proficiency, various opportunities will open up to them. Eventually, one day they will be in a command position passing on the knowledge that they gained as a cadet.
Our cadets take a wide variety of courses, starting with Boot School. There, they learn all the basic fundamentals of military drill, procedures and protocol. Like in the Navy, as a cadet nears the completion of each of their assigned courses, they must successfully pass the strike test to achieve their next rate. Failure to successfully pass the strike test results in the cadet repeating the course over.
Our cadets must take and successfully pass the following courses in order to achieve the next rate:
Boot School Advanced Boot School Squad Leader School Advanced Squad Leader School Basic Seamanship Navigation Junior NCO School Standard First Aid & CPR NCO School Leadership Officer's Candidate School
Beside taking various courses and passing the strike tests, each cadet rate has a minimum Time In Grade before a cadet can be considered for promotion. Each minimum Time In Grade coincides with the rate and the course taken.
From time to time, a cadet may be considered for an accelerated or early promotion. Such consideration is give to a highly motivated cadet the proves themselves through outstanding classwork, drill proficiency, test scores, unselfish devotion to duty, and outstanding community service.
