Sea Cadet Family Handbook
This handbook is provided as a guide for parents during their child’s involvement with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) or the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC). Most parents who choose to read this booklet do so because their son or daughter has joined, or is interested in joining, either the NSCC or the NLCC.
Recruit Orientation Workbook
Designed to accompany the Recruit Orientation course, this workbook helps new cadets learn the fundamentals of Sea Cadet life through guided activities, note-taking, and practical exercises. Topics include the chain of command, military bearing, physical fitness, uniforms, ranks, drill, terminology, and advancement requirements. Completing the workbook reinforces classroom instruction and provides an excellent study guide throughout a cadet's first months in the program.
Recommended for: New cadets (NSCC & NLCC) during their first months in the program.

This guide walks new families through creating and linking parent accounts, navigating the system, and using Quarterdeck's most common features. Parents of newly enrolled League Cadets and Sea Cadets are encouraged to review this guide shortly after receiving their cadet's Quarterdeck login credentials.
