Welcome Aboard! "Let’s turn to and do great things together! "
As you begin your service with our unit, Phoenix Division / T.S. Battleship Arizona, we'd like to take the time to share with you some of the most basic information to help you navigate around our unit and to interact with
your shipmates.
Being a new recruit, there are responsibilities and expectations you must meet in order to advance and succeed in the program. If you take time to study and
learn the material presented to you, it will open up doors to other opportunities for you in the future. Choosing to
become a Sea Cadet with Phoenix Division / T.S. Battleship Arizona is one of the most important steps
you’ve taken to better prepare yourself for the future. Be proud of your service and strive to excel, becoming a fine example to your shipmates and to your family supporting
you along the way!

Your Recruit Binder
Binder requirements:
• One inch “view” binder
• Must have the standard cover
inserts on the front and back
(next two pages)
• Your first and last name must be
printed on the front cover
• The core values page is the back cover
• Must contain notebook
paper or a notetaking
pad.
• Must contain a printed copy of this guide.
Binder options
• Colors: Blue or White • You may use dividers • The covers maybe printed in black‐and‐white or color
When do I need my binder?
You should consider this binder a part of your uniform.
Unless you are told otherwise by an officer or senior
cadet, you should have this binder with you at all times. If you have been issued a Bluejacket’s Manual, keep it with your binder. When you are not required to carry it, you should keep it in a safe and secure place. Binders and personal property left unsecured is
considered “gear adrift” and is subject to confiscation by
senior personnel. On a ship, gear adrift is a safety hazard
because crewmembers can be injured by unsecured
items if the ship takes an unexpected roll.

What will the first four months of Navy Cadet Corps look like?
You will be learning the basics of being a cadet, which is guided by your
syllabus. There are two different programs. The younger cadets (10‐13) will
follow the Navy League Training Syllabus, the older cadets (14‐18) will train
using the Sea Cadet correspondence courses. Senior Navy League Cadets, Sea Cadets and officers will instruct you in formal
and informal classes during the first four drills, with the goal of helping you
complete and understand the basic knowledge required of a Naval Cadet. You will be taught everything from marching, how to wear the uniform
to learning conduct standards and naval terminology. If you finish the first part of your syllabus, pass your promotion exam, and
demonstrate the ability to handle increased responsibilities, you will earn your
first two stripes and be promoted during your fourth month.
What do I need for my first meeting?
Wear regular street clothes, also known in the military as “civilian clothes” or
“civvies” for your first meeting. If you have been issued a blue physical training
(PT) shirt you should wear this along with your unit ball cap. Bring this guide
and your recruit binder to every drill. You can also bring your own sack lunch.
10
Be sure to read the plan of the day (POD) before drill for any additional
announcements. Don’t forget to get a regulation haircut. You should arrive by
0730. Our final muster is held at 1345 with final dismissal no later than 1415.
Parents are encouraged to observe final muster, this is when we make
announcements and present awards and promotions.
Where do I find references if I have questions?
The training materials for correspondence courses can be found online. You
may choose to print out the syllabus and include it in your binder. To find your
syllabus go to the Homeport website and click on the ‘Training’ tab on the top.
Under ‘Training Spaces’ on the left, click on “Cadet Advancement”. This is will
lead you to the correct page to select either the NLCC or NSCC syllabus. Your
unit leadership can also assist you with this process.
You can find most of the reference materials on the NSCC/NLCC Homeport website at http://homeport.seacadets.org
11
What is my rank? First of all, cadets like Navy enlisted members have “rate.” Officers have “rank.”
So, if you are a League Cadet your rate is Recruit Cadets. LC‐1 is your grade. In
the Navy it is called a pay grade, but since you aren’t paid to be a cadet, we just
call them “grades.” Recruit cadet is abbreviated as “RC.”
Incorrect: LC‐1 John P.
Jones, NLCC Correct: RC
John P. Jones, NLCC Putting “NLCC” after your name, notes that you are a member of the Navy
League Cadet Corps. If you are in the Sea Cadet program your starting rate is
Seaman Recruit (E‐1), and you would note, USNSCC after your name for U.S.
Navy Sea Cadet Corps.
What are the advancement requirements?
In order to advance in rate, you must complete required parts of the NLCC or
Sea Cadet Syllabus, take your exam, complete the minimum time‐in‐rate, and
pass the physical readiness test (PRT). You must also demonstrate leadership
traits and behavior in alignment with an increased rate. In our Battalion, an
increase in rate is taken very seriously.
12
The minimum time‐in‐rate is four months for each rate in the NLCC.

What are the physical fitness standards?
You must meet the minimum physical fitness standard once every six months in
order to (1) advance in rate and (2) participate in boot camp and advanced
training. These requirements are for all cadets unless you have been granted a
medical accommodation by the Commanding Officer. As of June 2017, the Sea
Cadet Corp no longer tests for the Shuttle Run and Sit & Reach. Don’t wait until
the last minute to test yourself! If you can beat these minimum standards, you could be eligible for the NSCC/NLCC Physical Fitness Ribbon award.
You can find fitness standards and test descriptions on Homeport under:
Administration > Manuals and Publications > Physical Readiness Manual
14
Getting started with the NLCC Syllabus The Part I of the NLCC Syllabus is the
first course you will need to
complete. You will have to complete a part of
the syllabus for each rate up to PO1.
You can find the full syllabus on Homeport under:
Training > Cadet Advancement > NLCC Syllabus Part I is eight chapters long. There is an open book assignment at the end of
each chapter. Answer these questions and turn them in to be graded. You
should start working on them as soon as possible.
Getting started with the NSCC Syllabus
The syllabus for NSCC cadets is different than NLCC. The Homeport lists the
courses required and as noted, they should be completed in the order listed
unless otherwise directed. For example, the first course you will need to
complete is ‘Basic Military Requirements’ followed by ‘Seaman’. Once you
complete the course you will be eligible to take the online exam and potentially
receive your promotion.
15
You can find the full syllabus on Homeport under:
Training > Cadet Advancement > NSCC Correspondence Courses
How do I turn in my course work?
You will submit your completed assignments to the NLCC Officer in Charge
(NLCC‐OIC), the Training Officer (TO) or Executive Officer (XO) on paper using
the correspondence course answer sheet (form NSCTNG 028). The answer sheet
can be found on Homeport on the cadet advancement page.
How often do I need to turn in my course work?
You are expected to start turning in your assignments as soon as you join.
Submit assignments as you complete them, rather than waiting until you finish
the course. One correspondence course per drill is the goal in our unit!
16
What should I try learning first?
All recruits must know the 11 General Orders of a Sentry. You must memorize
the text. When asked to recite a specific general order you must state them
like this:
“This cadets first general order is: To take charge of this post and all government property in view.”
THE ELEVEN GENERAL ORDERS OF A SENTRY
Orders to Sentry is the official title of a set of rules governing sentry (guard or
watch) duty in the United States Armed Force. You will be required to quote any
one of or all of your Eleven General Orders of a Sentry from memory anytime,
anywhere, and to anyone upon request.
1. TO TAKE CHARGE OF THIS POST AND ALL GOVERNMENT PROPERTY IN VIEW.
2. TO WALK MY POST IN A MILITARY MANNER, KEEPING ALWAYS ON
THE ALERT, AND OBSERVING EVERYTHING THAT TAKES PLACE
WITHIN SIGHT OR HEARING.
3. TO REPORT ALL VIOLATIONS OF ORDERS I AM INSTRUCTED TO ENFORCE.
4. TO REPEAT ALL CALLS FROM POSTS MORE DISTANT FROM THE GUARD
HOUSE THAN MY OWN.
5. TO QUIT MY POST ONLY WHEN PROPERLY RELIEVED.
6. TO RECEIVE, OBEY, AND PASS ON TO THE SENTRY WHO RELIEVES ME ALL
ORDERS FROM THE COMMANDING OFFICER, COMMAND DUTY OFFICER,
OFFICER OF THE DECK, AND OFFICERS AND PETTY OFFICERS OF THE
WATCH ONLY.
7. TO TALK TO NO ONE EXCEPT IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
8. TO GIVE THE ALARM IN CASE OF FIRE OR DISORDER.
9. TO CALL THE OFFICER OF THE DECK IN ANY CASE NOT COVERED BY
INSTRUCTIONS.
10. TO SALUTE ALL OFFICERS AND ALL COLORS AND STANDARDS NOT CASED.
11. TO BE ESPECIALLY WATCHFUL AT NIGHT, AND, DURING THE TIME FOR
CHALLENGING. TO CHALLENGE ALL PERSONS ON OR NEAR MY POST AND
TO ALLOW NO ONE TO PASS WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORITY.
17
Getting started with your uniforms.
You were probably issued your first set of uniforms when you joined. New
cadets will wear four different types of uniforms: the NWU or Navy Work
Uniform (blue camouflage), Winter Dress Uniform, Summer Dress Uniform,
and the Physical Training (PT) Uniform. If you haven’t been issued a complete set of NWU due to a supply shortage,
continue to wear civilian clothes with your PT shirt after your first drill weekend. Navy Cadet Corp members are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to
wear the U.S. Navy uniform, as long as it is modified by NLCC/NSCC
insignia: flashes, buttons and emblems. It is technically against the law to wear a U.S. Navy uniform if you aren’t in the
Navy. When we modify it with NLCC/NSCC insignia, it makes it a Navy Cadet
Corp uniform and not an official Navy uniform. You can find the Uniform Regulations on Homeport under:
Administration > Manuals and Publications > Uniform Regulations
USNSCC Uniforms
18
USNLCC Uniforms
** Leaguers will wear a tie with their dress uniforms
UNIFORM ISSUED NWU/BDU ____ Cover ____ Blouse ____ Trousers ____ Boots shined ____ Belt ____ T‐shirt ____ Socks ____ Blousing straps ____ All flashes/name tags
DRESS / SALT N’ PEPPER ____ Cover ____ Blouse or Shirt ____ Trousers ____ Dress Shoes shined ____ Belt ____ T‐shirt ____ Socks ____ Ribbon Bar ____ All flashes/name tags
19
How do I take care of my uniforms? Cleaning instructions are located on the label in your uniform. Follow them carefully. Store you uniform on a hanger in the closet, not in a ball in the corner of your bedroom. Your appearance shows others the pride you have or take in yourself and how they will interact with you. If you aren't "squared away" it may affect the attitude and acceptance others are willing to give to you. Check your clothing over to ensure your clothing is neat, clean and undamaged, your boots are shined and you project a good first impression to whomever you should meet. It is your responsibility to ensure your boots are shined at all times, uniforms ironed and pressed with proper identification/flashes. Your cover must be fitted with the brim two fingers width off the bridge of your nose. Ask your Squad Leader or shipmate to demonstrate how to do this and once you have been shown, it is your DUTY to continually be in proper uniform. When in Uniform, you represent your Country, the US Navy and the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
20
How do I put the insignia on my uniform?
All insignia needs to be MACHINE SEWN, not hand stitched. Hand
stitching does not look professional and degrades the appearance of the
uniform. DO NOT use liquid stich, glue, iron‐on cloth or tape, this damages the
uniform. You will be responsible for replacement costs for causing such
damage. NWU name strips
• Sew on so there is no space between the top of the shirt pocket and the
bottom of the name strip.
• Center your name on the pocket and fold the excess strip fabric in behind
the name strip and sew with navy blue or black thread. This will ensure the
edges do not fray.
• Your name goes on the right breast and the service strip (USNLCC) or (USNSCC) goes over the left breast.
21
22
How do I alter my uniform to fit?
Alterations are permitted, at your own expense. You are growing and we plan on reusing the uniform when you turn it
back in, so be sure to leave extra fabric when making alterations. “Custom fit” alterations are not authorized. These include installing darts or making other
alterations to make the uniform form‐fit your body.
How do I shine my shoes?
Your boots and dress shoes are expected to be shined. A high gloss military
shine on your boots is optional, however they must be always clean of dirt and
grime, free of scuff marks and buffed to a dull or “brushed” shine. Your dress
shoes need to be “spit shined” to a near mirror finish.
Spit shine instructions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_polishing
How short does my hair need to be?
Generally, your hair needs to be presented in a neat and professional
appearance. No faddish hairstyles or extreme hair colors. Use good
judgment. See chapter 2 of the Uniform Regulations for illustrations and full
grooming standards.
Quick tips: Males: Your hair should be off the collar, short on the
sides and not touch your ears. Side burns at or above the middle of
your ear. No more than 2 inches of bulk and no hairs longer than 4
inches. o Females: Your hair must be above bottom of your collar. You
may either cut your hair short (but not shaved bald) or put your hair
up.
Visit http://www.navy.mil/ah_online/um/femalehair.html for
illustrations of female hair styles
23
MALES: Your hair cut must be short enough to meet basic minimum military standards. To ensure you have the proper style and cut, make sure you tell whomever cuts your hair that the sides must not exceed the #1 in length and you may not exceed 2 inches in length on the top.
FEMALES: Must be worn or cut so no hair touches or hangs below the uniform collar.
24
You may feel anxious as you change your hair style, but this is the first big step in creating a new you and showing your shipmates the commitment you have to your future and the decision you've made to join our Phoenix Division / T.S. Battleship Arizona!
Can I wear earrings or other jewelry?
Wearing jewelry while participating in Cadet activities is generally discouraged,
this is to prevent loss, damage and injuries. However, if worn, jewelry must be
conservative and not “flashy” in a way that detracts from the professional
appearance of the uniform. One ring on each hand is permitted. Thumb rings are not permitted. Earrings are
not authorized for male cadets either in uniform or in civilian clothes while
participating in Cadet activities. Female cadets may wear one earring per ear (centered on earlobe) while in
uniform. Earrings shall be 4mm – 6mm ball (approximately 1/8 – 1/4 inch), plain
with shiny or brushed matte silver finish, screw on or with posts. One single
strand necklace may be worn.
How do I earn ribbons?
Ribbon awards can be earned for a variety of reasons from recruiting a new
cadet to saving someone’s life. Cadets receive awards by someone
recommending them for the award or by recommending themselves for
the award. You can find NSCC award requirements on Homeport under:
Administration > Manuals and Publications > Awards Manual
Can I wear my JROTC awards on my uniform? No, cadets are only authorized to wear NSCC awards on the NSCC uniform.
Wearing any awards not authorized by NSCC National headquarters is
prohibited.
25
26
What is my chain of command?
The chain of command helps ensure efficient communication throughout the
unit. Your Battalion chain of command will be provided to you. Always
communicate with your squad leader first.

27
How do I communicate with my chain of command? First it is your responsibility to use your resources, whether it be the NLCC/NSCC Syllabus, NSCC or NLCC regulation manuals or the Bluejackets Manual. Then seek advice from your chain of command. You should communicate first with your Squad Leader or your LPO (your supervisors) by email or phone. If you cannot contact them and it is an urgent matter, you may go up the chain of command. Otherwise wait for your supervisors to get back to you. On certain issues you may communicate directly with the officer who is
responsible for that subject. For example, if you need to update your home
address or email in our records, you may communicate directly with the
Administrative Officer. When it is time to sign up for training, you will be able to
communicate directly with the Training Officer. The same goes for supply issues.
Say you need to exchange a uniform item because you have grown out of it, or
you have been given an award and need the ribbon bar issued to you. In these
cases, you may communicate directly with the Supply Officer.
What is my Cadet chain of command?
The chain of command helps ensure efficient communication throughout the
unit. Ensure you communicate with your chain of command immediately upon
receipt of any e‐mail or other form of communication. You must keep your
command apprised of your attendance at future drills and events. You will
receive communication as to your squad leader and higher ranking cadets. This
can vary throughout the year as all cadets will be tasked with squad leader
responsibilities. You will receive a roster and contact information for all
Battalion Personnel.
What is the attendance policy?
You are expected to attend a minimum of 75% of Drills and any other events, activities, or functions the unit is involved in. You MUST notify your COC (Chain of Command ‐ Squad Leader, Petty Officer, Instructor, etc.) if you are going to be absent from an event, Drill, or training for
28
any reason. Notification can be done in the form of email, text, phone call, or in person but has to be done prior to the scheduled start of the event. Preferably 48 Hour Notice is expected, however unforeseen circumstances may create situations where it is difficult to inform your COG prior. Failure to Notify will result in either Disciplinary Counseling or Disciplinary action.
You are expected to participate in 85‐percent of regular unit activities. You can
be dropped from the program if you fall below a 75‐percent attendance rate. It is your responsibility to manage your time.
What is the plan of the month (POD)? The Plan of the Day is a written agenda command puts out outlining each day's activities and what Cadets can expect while at Drill. Based on an hourly schedule, it loosely describes what trainings, activities and events the Cadets will participate in for the day; when to arrive; what to bring to Drill; what to wear for Drill (UOD ‐ Uniform of the Day); and when/where you are to be at certain times of the day. The POD is considered to be a living document that can be modified and changed based on circumstances by the Command Staff‐ so be especially watchful as information may change affecting the daily schedule.
The POD is the official drill schedule of the unit. It includes information about drill and activities and important announcements. The POD is released at least two weeks prior to drill. It is distributed by email through the unit’s email list and posted to the unit’s website. All members are responsible for reading and knowing its contents. If you received this guide by email, you are already signed up for our mailing list.
29
What are the conduct standards?
You are expected to hold yourself and your shipmates to the high standards set
by our core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. NSCC conduct
standards are outlined in chapter 9 of the NSCC Regulations.
You can find the NSCC Regulations on Homeport
under: Administration > Manuals and Publications >

the Navy and my Country.
33
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
"I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and To the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, with Liberty
and Justice for all".
SAILORS CREED
"I am a United States Sailor. I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of
those appointed over me.
I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to
defend freedom and democracy around the world.
I proudly serve my Navy's combat team with honor, courage, and commitment. I am committed to excellence and the
fair treatment of all."
"THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last Gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight. O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly Streaming, and the Rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that Star ‐ Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
34
ANCHORS AWEIGH!
Stand Navy out to see, Fight our battle cry,
We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy‐y‐y‐y.
Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!
Anchors Aweigh , my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores, We sail at break of day‐ay‐ay‐ay. Through our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam, Until we meet once more.
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.
Blue of the mighty deep: Gold of God's great sun. Let these our colors be
Till all of time be done, done, done, done. On seven seas we learn

BASIC MILITARY ETIQUETTE All Cadets are expected to render respect and honor to everyone they meet. The Code of Conduct for a Sea Cadet dictates what is expected of you and how you should act as a representative of the USNSCC, Phoenix Division / T.S. Battleship Arizona. Following the "Code of Conduct" will enable you to differentiate between wise and unwise decisions and help guide you along the correct path and actions to take when difficulties and problems appear. When passing people in the hallways and narrow passageways, move to the side and come to attention (showing respect) and allow the other person to pass. Once they have done so, relax and carry on as you were before. If there is an Officer, Instructor, or someone in the hallway in front of you blocking your way, approach them and stand to one side in the "At Ease" position until they acknowledge you. Once they show honor by coming to attention, address them appropriately by saying: "Sir/Ma'am, By Your Leave, Sir/Ma'am". This lets them know you respect them and want to pass by, but do not wish to interrupt their conversations or show disrespect to them. If allowed to pass, the person / persons you are addressing will state "Carry On" or "Very Well" or "As You Were" or some other form of acknowledgment that lets you know it is ok to pass. Be aware – if asking for permission to pass an Instructor or other higher ranking individual, it has been known for them to ask some kind of question of you that you should know or you will need to know and will need to answer properly and correctly before being allowed to pass! You are to treat all persons with respect at all times. We never know who is watching us at any given time - it is important to recognize that fact and understand you can never take back the first impression you leave with someone. Put your best foot forward always and you 'll set yourself up for success continually.

Supporting the cause of liberty and peace abroad for all of humanity
Enabling the safe travel of people and goods to meet the expanding demands of globalization
