When the CO calls you, he will schedule you to attend a New Cadet/Parent Orientation Meeting. This will take place during one of the regular drills. The CO and Mr. Niles Fowler (who is the President of the Everett Navy League and unit Sponsor) will present to you details and information about the Sea Cadet program, the opportunity, the commitment, costs, and to answer any questions. The Unit Drills (the meetings) are typically held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. Drills are held inside Naval Station Everett Navy base property at the Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC).
The orientation meeting is typically scheduled between at 08:50 hrs and 09:30, lasts about one hour. This meeting will also provide an opportunity for you to observe a drill and activities the cadets are participating in that day.
More Information
If you are between the ages of 10 and 17 and are looking for an adventure, the Naval Station Everett Sea Cadets / Navy League Cadets is the place for you!! (Note: Sea Cadets ages are 13-17 and League Cadets ages are 10-13). You will get to wear the Sea Cadet uniform, go places and do things that normally are only available to adults in the Navy, making friends while learning things they don't teach in school. For those of you truly interested in joining the Navy or Coast Guard later, you will get a "leg up" on your peers. If you are not, (or maybe just curious) but still interested in Naval traditions, ships and all the excitement that comes your way, welcome aboard!There is NO commitment to service.
We "drill" twice a month; always under adult supervision and guided by our core values - "Honor, Courage and Commitment". Sure, there are study requirements in order to advance, but the knowledge gained is for life and can be applied to any path you may choose. During the school year we take weekend excursions, we march in parades and take field trips to exciting regional destinations.
Then there are the summer training camps....
Imagine yourself in a modified boot camp for two weeks, underway on a Coast Guard ship, medical training at Great Lakes Naval Station or even overseas on an exchange program!! The summer camps are really where it all comes together. There are literally dozens of opportunities every summer (and over winter break) guaranteed to fit your interests. So what are you waiting for?
All you need to join is ask your parents, discuss your goals and get a sports physical. Once you have a plan in place contact LCDR Jim Sketchley at co@everettseacadets.com or 661-349-5157 and we will schedule an enrollment interview.
