SOS! Asking for help in recruiting adult volunteers that can ATTEND drills.

If you know of an adult that can volunteer one weekend a month that wants to help our youth please have them contact the Chief Kruger 252-705-1452.

We are short volunteers and have no back ups. We presently have 3 officers, if one volunteer can't attend then we get dangerously close to having to cancel drill &/or events.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A VETERAN. You just need to want to help our future.

Please read post,"Is this program right for you?" so you can see more details on volunteering.

We have an exciting drill weekend coming up. This will be our first joint operation with othe Sea Cadet units. Please share with any potential volunteers or cadets. We will be at NAS Oceana Airshow. Unfortunatley we can not bring any shadow cadets but you are welcome to visit the Sea Cadet booth while attending. Our currently assigned cadets will be present.

Is this program right for you?

We are a nonprofit organization federally charted, not a recruitment tool for the military but to mold our youth into better members of the community.

The program is not as linear as traditional JROTC programs as it provides cadets the opportunity to attend trainings such as flight school, sailing, photo journalism, culinary school to name a few.

If you are still interested please continue reading.

The previously stated advanced training become available to cadets once they have completed their bootcamp.
If Cadet want to join the military they will enter at a higher paygrade or if they want to join a service Academy it helps with getting accepted.

If Cadet does not have an interest in the military it makes them more competitive than their peers because they will have more training, experience, and self-discipline than other applicants.

Shadow Cadets: Prospective cadets may shadow at a unit for up to two drill periods, must meet military dress and appearance standards, polo/pants/and appropriate foot wear for attendance.

Our unit time frame: One weekend per month (Saturday and Sunday), minimum 6 hours per day required for a total of 4 drill periods per month.

Cadets must maintain a 2.0 GPA or above, attend 75% of drills, maintain uniform dress and appearance standards,

Adults Officers: Must attend 75% of drills, maintain uniform dress and appearance standards, complete required course work.

Auxiliarist: An adult volunteer who cannot commit to regular drill attendance or training participation, or who can only volunteer on a sporadic basis. Auxiliarists are not required to attend drill, staff trainings, take the OMSG, or attend OPD courses. Auxiliarists are required to complete Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children program within the first year of enrollment, and again in each subsequent year.
