SUBJ: 2013 SUMMER TRAINING FOR NAVAL SEA CADETS
1. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is developing its 2013 catalog of
Navy and Coast Guard summer training opportunities.  NSCC requests
information on the number of Coast Guard billets, locations and types
of training available for the summer months.  The catalog of
available billets will be sent to all cadet units for their
consideration.
2. NSCS, headquartered in Arlington, VA, is the primary youth program
the Coast Guard supports.  NSCC is a congressionally chartered
volunteer youth group for males and females, 13 through 17 years of
age.  NSCC fosters good citizenship and an interest and appreciation
of our nations maritime services.  Cadets are insured under a group
accident program.  They use the same texts, classrooms, training aids
and examinations given Navy personnel.  The Navy League Vice
President for Youth Programs is Chairman of the NSCC Board of
Directors.
3. NSCC is seeking one to two-week on-the-job training opportunities
at Coast Guard units for male and female cadets, afloat and shore.
Shipboard billets for female cadets must be such that they can be
accommodated without requirement for female NSCC escort officers.
4. I request commanding officers and officers in charge consider
supporting this great opportunity to enhance the lives and
development of our future citizens.  If you can support, please
provide a description of billet opportunities, including available
dates and number and gender of cadets who can be accommodated to NSCC
by 1 April 13.  If additional training opportunities arise after this
date, please notify POC as NSCC will continually update its list.
