The best part of training? The people you experience it with.
Cadets spent the day learning the Navy’s Use-of-Force Continuum while building confidence, strengthening teamwork, and having fun along the way.

💪 Cadets trained on the Navy’s Use-of-Force Continuum, learning that professionalism, communication, and sound judgment are often the most important tools. Led by former Sea Cadet and Navy Chief Rene Mendoza, experiences like these prepare tomorrow’s leaders for whatever comes next.

🌊⚓️From New York to Norfolk to Baltimore, Sea Cadets experienced America’s 250th celebration from a perspective few ever will.

Touring U.S. and allied warships, learning from Sailors and Marines, and standing alongside the fleet during SAIL 250 and International Naval Review 250—these moments bring leadership, service, and maritime heritage to life.

The next generation isn’t just watching history. They’re part of it.
