The Manatee Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps drills on the second weekend of each month at Coast Guard Station Yankeetown.
The Sea Cadets is designed for youths ages 13 through 17. We also have a Navy League Cadet unit for youths ages 11 through 13.
We provide a fun and challenging environment that is free of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and gangs.
The division also helps cadets develop leadership abilities and broaden their horizons using hands-on and self-paced training. They are guided to become mature young adults, whether or not they decide to join the military.
For those who choose to join the Navy or Coast Guard, the education and training they will receive will help them obtain advanced rates should they enlist. Some other branches also award advanced placement. Visit us at our drill, and online at www.manateediv.org.
For more information, or to join, contact our Commanding Officer, LTJG Todd Dunn, at 352-726-0522 or e-mail him at tdunn@manateediv.org. See you soon.
