Training

The Sea Cadet program has mandatory training that occurs on Thursday nights.  All training required to complete your phase and be eligible for promotion happen on Thursdays.  Some weekend training is also required in order to complete your training each year.

Optional training includes many of the optional activities that you can participate in.  These include things like band, drill team, biathlon, marksmanship, and other activities
