Who do you accept for membership?

We accept U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents ages 11 to 17 years old, who are full time students with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
Mature 10 year olds are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
Current high school seniors are only accepted in September. You must commit to attending recruit training over your winter break.
We only accept those who show an interest and want to be a part of our program.
Applicants must be unmarried, drug-free, tobacco-free, and alcohol-free.
Applicants must complete a medical examination similar to a high school sports physical and submit proof of immunization against common diseases.
Applications must also be physically and mentally able to participate in the basic required activities of the program, such as team-based physical training, close-order military drill, classroom instruction, and (for Sea Cadets only) annual overnight away-from-home training programs. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is the policy of the national Sea Cadet program that no qualified person will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefit of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination by the national Sea Cadet program simply because that person has a disability. We will grant reasonable accommodations where necessary to permit full participation.

How often do you meet?

We generally meet one weekend a month from September through June. See our drill schedule on the home page for our annual drill schedule. Away camps are held during winter and summer school breaks.

Our attendance policy requires a 75% attendance rate in order to remain a member in good standing. Members who fall below 75% may be removed from our program for lack of interest. Please see our attendance policy for more information.
We expect our cadets to be fully committed to the program. This means attending meetings (drills), completing required coursework, attending at least one away camp and promoting at least once a year. Ideally, cadets will attend two away camps and promote twice a year. Cadets who do not attend an away camp or achieve one promotion in a year may not be permitted to renew their membership.
