Advancement
Opportunities:
Sea Cadets
have the opportunity to advance in rank in much the same way as active duty sailors. They must complete a Navy training
manual, a two week training, and an advancement exam. Once this is completed and the cadet has enough "time-in-rate,"
they are advanced to the next rank. The cadets have a chance to advance from "Seaman Recruit" to "Chief Petty Officer"
in less than three years! Navy League Cadets have a similar advancement program. With advancement in rank, the
cadet is given more authority and increased responsibility. | | |
