Navy League Cadet Corps

The U.S. Navy League Cadet Corps (also known as the United States Naval League Cadet Corps or "NLCC") is a junior version of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program developed for younger cadets, aged 11 through 13, under the auspices of the Navy League of the United States.

The mission of the NLCC is to train cadets about the seagoing military services, community service, citizenship, and an understanding of discipline and teamwork so that they are prepared for membership in the NSCC.

NLCC units that are of independent status are denoted by the title "Training Ship" (often abbreviated as "T.S.").

NLCC units who do not have enough cadets to warrant independent status ("conditions preclude the formation of a Training Ship") are attached to NSCC units as "Companies."

The minimum time in rate requirements are four months for lower rates and six months for petty officers and a 75% correct score on coursework and advancement examinations.
