What
is the NSCC Officer Corps
The
Naval Sea Cadet Corps Officer Corps provides adult leadership
for cadets of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) and the Navy League
Cadet Corps (NLCC). NSCC officers are dedicated volunteers who
instruct cadets, operate units and escort cadets when participating
in events away from their home unit. Officers may either be civilians
or military (active, reserve or retired) who are knowledgeable
of youth and interested in their training. Instructors are also
recruited from active Reserve military commands and leaders within
the community. Members of the Naval Reserve may qualify for drill
credit and active duty for training orders (ADT) for participating
in NSCC/NLCC activities. The NSCC does not require specific education
or professional qualifications, but applicants with nautical/military
experience are desired. NSCC officers are authorized to wear Navy
officer uniforms (modified by the NSCC insignia). All NSCC officers
are appointed by NSCC National Headquarters.
