The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) is a federally chartered non-profit civilian youth organization for young people, ages 11 through 17.
Since 1958 the Naval Sea Cadet Corps has been committed to providing American youth with a drug and alcohol free environment to foster their leadership abilities, broaden their horizons through hands-on training and guide them to becoming mature young adults. USNSCC is comprised of two programs. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program is for young people ages 13 through 17. Also included under the USNSCC umbrella is our junior program the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for young people ages 11 through 13.
Chesty Puller Battalion serves parts of Santa Clara County (San Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Watsonville), and all of San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.
We are sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and supported by both the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. http://seacadets.navyleaguemonterey.com/

The Goals of Our Cadet Programs;
At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Navy League of the United States established the USNSCC in 1962 to "create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of American youth".
Today's U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps continues to further the image of our maritime services by adhering to a standardized training program designed to:
*Develop an interest and ability in seamanship and seagoing skills
*Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet
*Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-free, drug-free and gang-free lifestyle
*Expose cadets to the prestige of public service and a variety of career paths through hands-on training with our nation's armed services
After enrolling in the program, all Sea Cadets must attend a mandatory two-week recruit training session. These training sessions are taught at the Navy’s Recruit Training Command, at other naval bases or stations and at regional recruit training sites using other military host resources.
The curriculum of this training is approved by the U.S. Navy and standardized at all training sites. Cadets receive 106 hours of instruction, with a focus on the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment. Both tone and tenor of instruction are modeled after the Navy’s recruit training.
After successful completion of recruit training, Sea Cadets may choose from a wide variety of advanced training opportunities that are nationally advertised by USNSCC headquarters. Some advanced training sessions classes are in aviation, sailing, leadership, medical and adventure training including International Exchanges!!!
Examples of locally arranged training include:
•Seabee and SEAL challenges
•Ship visits
•Honor Guard competitions
•Field operations
Which brings us to another wonderful training for our Chesty Puller Battalion Cadets:
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Training!
A few years ago, our Unit participated in the SeaPerch Program.
The SeaPerch program is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips cadets with the resources they need to build an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Building a SeaPerch ROV teaches basic skills in ship and submarine design, and encourages cadets to explore concepts in naval architecture and ocean engineering.
*Cyber Warfare Training. Computer Emergency Readiness Teams (CERTs) will learn computer and network installation, configuration and security best practices, with the use of Virtual Machines and packet tracker scenarios. The training prepares cadets for cybersecurity, STEM careers and the AFA CyberPatriot competition. Cadets also learn about the technologies used to run Google, Facebook and Steam.
*Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Training. The focus of this training is on building and flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the form of quadcopters. Cadets build, program, and fly both nano- and 450-quadcopters.
Chesty Puller is so thrilled to annouce the news of this year's Quadcopter STEM Training!!! ROBODOJO!!!
In February 2016, our Unit had an opportunity to tour RoboDojo at NPS which introduced the cadets to unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly called drones.
With the great amount of informative support from our local US Naval School, the Cadets are now eager to begin designing/building and testing a successful aerial quadcopter!
The training will consist of building a quadcopter, including mounting and balancing the motors and programming the receiver. The transmitter will be programmed, as well as the speed controllers. The quadcopter will be wired and have a GPS system inorder to calibrate for the area in which it is to fly.
This training won't be too easy nor too hard for the cadets. It involves a lot of math and coordination to program and fly one of these things. Our Unit has a great amount of talent within to take flight!!
NOW HERE IS WHERE YOU STEP IN.....
In order to begin training, developing, building and testing, we need your help! Our wonderful program is built on volunteers and a limited pocketbook. All funds contribute to many of these activities listed, field trips, supplies, and space rental throughout the year.
This is the time of year funding kicks into gear....
Our Cadets are hoping to raise enough funds to participate in many new challenges and trainings, new field trips abound and STEM. Most of the contributions will be directed towards STEM. Cadets benefit highly from this hands-on team training. The Cadets hope to build a successful drone that can take flight and take it to the next level and competition!
Call to Action is NOW!!!
Every Cent Donated Is Well Appreciated!!!
