Yuba Sutter Sea Cadets
About Us
Purpose
The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) is an official youth leadership development program of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Our mission is to educate America’s young men and women in a naval tradition with hands-on experiential training occurring on naval bases and other military installations in order to imbue the highest ideals of honor, respect, service, and commitment.
The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps core values mirror those promoted by the maritime services and reflect both the mission and vision of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. They have been selected because they represent the values expected of youth leaders as they leave high school and pursue futures in academics, the workforce, or military service. The USNSCC core values are Honor, Respect, Commitment, and Service.
Honor
We always conduct ourselves in the highest ethical manner. We are honest and truthful. We abide by an uncompromising code of integrity. We hold ourselves accountable. We take responsibility for our actions. We keep our word.
Respect
We treat all people with dignity, fairness, and compassion. We believe in the power of diversity. We foster an inclusive culture within the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. We instill trust and respect within the chain of command, both as followers and leaders.
Commitment
We prioritize the safety, and care for the professional, personal, and spiritual well-being, of our fellow cadets and volunteers. We seek to operate as a team to improve the quality of our work, our people, and ourselves. We pursue positive change and constant improvement for ourselves, our shipmates, and the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
Service
We place the priorities of our country, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Merchant Marines, the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, and our shipmates above our own. We strive to be our best by building moral courage, instilling trust, and inspiring hope in those we serve and those with whom we serve.
Drills
Every unit is required to conduct a specific number of drills each year. Typically, units drill one weekend or two Saturdays each month. Some drill one night each week. Each unit has an established drill schedule, often posted on their unit web site. Units seldom deviate from their scheduled drills, but some changes may be made due to holidays. Our unit drills on the second weekend of the month from 0800-1600 at the Yuba City National Guard Armory.
Drills end on time and parents are asked to pick up their cadets within 10 minutes of the scheduled end of drill. We discourage parents from picking up cadets early and disrupting the discipline of the drill routine. However, parents are welcome to observe drills and final muster. Coordinate with your unit staff to do so. The Commanding Officer (CO) is usually available at the end of each drill to talk with parents.
