Our unit, MICHAEL A. MONSOOR Battalion (named after Medal of Honor awardee, U.S. Navy SEAL Michael A. Monsoor) recently lost all their training equipment and uniforms, all of which were funded by annual enrollment fees paid by the parents and occasional donations. Without these items, our cadets are unable to train and attend nationwide trainings. The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is an official youth program of the U.S. Navy & Coast Guard for Middle and High School students. The program trains cadets in aspects of seamanship and military drill. The program provides cadets various opportunities for self-development through training opportunities, such as sailing, aviation, field training, and STEM. Sea cadets learn to work as a team, wear uniforms, and strive to adhere to their core values of honor, respect, commitment, and service.
