SHADOW
Join us for a drill weekend to ensure that our program is a great fit for you. Potential cadets will come dressed in jeans and a navy colored shirt. You will start your day by meeting ENS Martis in person who will introduce you to other officers and cadets. Potential cadets will then be integrated into the unit for the day and participate in the activities as long as you both wish to stay. A parent MUST remain on the property with the potential cadet during a shadow day for insurance purposes.
You both will stay in touch with ENS Martis throughout the day and ask questions while you decide if the program is right for your family.

SPORTS PHYSICAL
A sports physical can be completed in a walk-in clinic, most chiropractors, or with a primary physician. The physician must complete our Sea Cadet physical form found within the paperwork in Step 3. If a physical has been completed within the last couple of months, your physician can transfer the information over to our form rather than completing another physical. Many physicians will not require an appointment for this.
