U.S. Naval Academy
The NavalAcademy athletic program is not just an extracurricular activity, it is part of the mission, and as such receives a priority much different than at civilian schools. The athletic teams are an integral part of the overall education of a total person. Athletics provide leadership opportunities and the experiences of team play, cooperative effort, commitment and individual sacrifice for goals that some may or may not be able to achieve. Athletics play a big part of every midshipman's life at the NavalAcademy.
Culture of Fitness
Physical activity helps in keeping the body’s metabolism – the rate the body burns calories) working effectively. As one ages, the body’s metabolism naturally decreases. Participating in a regular exercise program assists the body in maintaining a higher metabolic rate. Calories are burned more effectively, and extra weight gain normally incurred as one ages is minimized.
Why do Sailors exercise?
Sailors interviewed world-wide repeatedly said that exercise decreases stress; increases energy level; helps them feel better, look better, and sleep better; reduces their body fat; and improves how they feel about themselves.
Diversity Note
Based on DOD Directive 1350.2, Military Equal Opportunity Program, religious discrimination is "any action, intentional or unintentional, that unlawfully or unjustly results in unequal treatment of persons or groups based on religion and for which distinctions are not supported by legal or rational considerations."

If more than 6 months, a full year’s enrollment fee is required. the same applies to those cadets who turn 19 in their senior year of high school. Requests for waivers will be submitted to the Executive Director for approval, and must specify termination date and must be accompanied by the appropriate re-enrollment fee.
SUPPLY DEPARTMENT /Meals – All hands are reminded that sack lunches are the order of the day. Don’t forget yours.We do have a refrigerator for storage of food items and a microwave available for our use.
We received additional uniforms since our last drill so we will be working on issuing those out. Last drill we issued uniforms but did not have time to update personnel inventory forms so this drill we will be adjusting and signing inventory forms. We have not been able to obtain dress white pants in the smaller sizes and those cadets who require 27 – 30 may have to order them from the NEX. The unit will reimburse you for that with an invoice/receipt. We will discuss this at drill.
OPERATIONS DEPARTMENTTBDReporting time – Cadets are to report aboard the station NO LATERthanthe reporting time on the POM and be present for morning muster. Staff and CC’s are expected to be on station NLT 0700 to prepare for the day’s activities. Final muster is at 1500 (3:00 p.m.) on Saturday and 1600 (4:00 p.m.) on Sunday.

Field Day Activities: The duty Company Commander is directly responsible for supervising cleanup and inspecting the cleanliness of common areas at the conclusion of drill. The LPO is responsible for final inspection and reporting to the XO that all common areas are shipshape before any cadet will be released. This includes the coat rack area—ensure that no coats, shoes, sea bags or other paraphernalia are left behind.
ATTENDANCE – IAW new command policy, your attendance will be reviewed quarterly instead of annually. NSCC Regulations state that you must attend 85% of all scheduled drills. That is five of six drills per quarter. If you do not meet this minimum standard, you will be administratively warned. If you continue to fail to meet minimum attendance standards, you will be discharged from the NSCC/NLCC. Failure to maintain 85% level of attendance (90% for CC’s/LPO) will result in cadets who are otherwise eligible for promotion will have their promotions held up until he/she brings attendance back to an acceptable level. Additionally, failure to maintain the required level of attendance at drills will result in non-issuance of orders to attend advanced trainings.
TRAINING DEPARTMENT / TBDCorrespondence Courses. Select unclassified Navy correspondence courses are available to the cadets and adults at the unit level and on line from the USNSCC “HOMEPORT” Website. Certain mandatory courses are the “homework” cadets must complete for advancement. The BMR is recommended for adults not having a military background. Additionally, for any Cadet who does not have access to a computer, all correspondence courses can be separately provided on a CD disc. BRING CORRESPONDENCE COURSE MATERIALS TO DRILL; Time may be allotted for cadets to work on correspondence courses. A reminder that NSCC Regulations require that “assignments are due each drill. “ You must complete at least one course per year to remain in the USNSCC.
– see NSCC regulations for requirements.
All new Cadets will bring their 3-ring binder and any other hand out materials you will be provided to include, but not limited to: the Eleven General Orders; Navy’s Core Values; Sailor’s Creed; NSCC Regulation (for NSCC Cadets); NLCC Syllabus (NLCC Cadets); Uniform Manual and the current POM.

LEADING PETTY OFFICER / SN KennedyPrior to my recruit training I did not get a lot of experience with marching/drill other than facing movements, and it was one the area I personally lagged behind in, so I highly recommend that each of our new cadets who will be going to recruit training this summer pay attention to what you are being taught and practice – practice – practice! Don’t forget to memorize your eleven general orders. You are reminded that your absence from drill now requires that you submit an absence from requesting authorization for your absence BEFORE the drill weekend.
