SHADOW DRILLS

U.S. Naval Sea Cadets: R. D. Stethem Battalion
SHADOW DRILLS allow for future (Prospective) Sea Cadets and League Cadets to attend a Drill day to get a better experience of how we train our Battalion.
Prospective Cadets will be allowed to participate in almost every activity during the Drill day except intensive trainings and activities that are physically rigorous (unit Physical Training, swim qualifications, operating tools or equipment, etc). Due to Sea Cadet policy, non fully enrolled cadets are not authorized to perform in these activities but will still be able to observe these events.
Prospective Cadets are allowed to Shadow up to two drills. After that, they should determine if they're ready to commit to being a Sea Cadet and begin the enrollment process.
