Advancement Opportunities:
Sea Cadets have the opportunity to advance in rank in much the same way as active duty sailors. They must complete
a Navy training manual, a two week training, and an advancement exam. Once this is completed and the cadet has
enough "time-in-rate," they are advanced to the next rank. The cadets have a chance to advance from "Seaman Recruit"
to "Chief Petty Officer" in less than three years! Navy League Cadets have a similar advancement program. With
advancement in rank, the cadet is given more authority and increased responsibility.
