| Sea Cadet training consists of Navy Non-Resident Training Courses (NRTC), training evolutions (away from local units), shipboard training, and training arranged locally by units. All new cadets enter the program at the rate of Seaman Recruit. In order for cadets to move up through the ranks they must complete the following: the NRTC Correspondence Course for that rate, one training evolution, and depending on the rate, the Navy's Military Leadership exam for that rate. NRTC's cover basic military and naval subjects such as naval history, seamanship, leadership, and ship/aircraft familiarization. The cadet rate structure parallels that of the Navy and Coast Guard's enlisted rate structure, with Chief Petty Officer being the highest rate a cadet can achieve. Training takes place mostly during summer months and occasionally during winter and spring break periods and are generally one to two week evolutions. The first training evolution for all cadets is NSCC Recruit Training, better known as boot camp. It is a scaled down version of the Navy's boot camp. For approximately two-weeks cadets are instructed by active and reserve military personnel and Sea Cadet officers in military drill and discipline, physical fitness, seamanship, shipboard safety, first aid, naval history, and leadership. After cadets have successfully completed boot camp, they can then participate in advanced training. Sea Cadet advanced training currently consists of the following: TRAINING SCHOOLS AIRMAN TRAINING (BASIC & ADVANCED) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TRAINING FAA GROUND SCHOOL CULINARY ARTS TRAINING MEDICAL TRAINING (GENERAL, FIELD, SURGICAL & DENTAL TECH) FIREFIGHTING TRAINING PHOTO JOURNALISM TRAINING CEREMONIAL GUARD SUBMARINE SEMINAR MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING CONSTRUCTION BATTALION (SEABEE) TRAINING (BASIC & ADVANCED) MINE WAREFARE OPERATIONS TRAINING MUSIC SCHOOL SEAL TEAM TRAINING EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL TRAINING AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING PETTY OFFICER LEADERSHIP ACADEMY MASTER-AT-ARMS TRAINING (MILITARY POLICE/LAW) JUDGE ADVOCATED GENERAL (JAG) TRAINING SAILING SCHOOL SCUBA SCHOOL SEAMANSHIP TRAINING SHIPBOARD TRAINING LIVE ABOARD NAVY & COAST GUARD SHIPS & SHORE STATIONS FOR TWO-WEEKS.
