What do cadets do during drill?
Drills during the school year are the times when cadets learn everything they need to succeed at and benefit from their summer advanced training experiences. Newer cadets will learn the basics to the nautical life, while senior cadets have the opportunity to practice the leadership skills that they have developed. During drill, cadets participate in many activities under the instruction and guidance of NSCC officers, senior cadets, or Naval personnel. Close-order drill, first aid, boating safety, physical training or playing sports, seamanship, firefighting, rifle drill, drill team/color guard practice, presentations by Naval personnel, and community service are just a few activities.
