WASHINGTON – NSCC Lt. Cmdr. Joseph P. Cirone announced today that billets remain available for the “Adventure of a Lifetime” advanced training opportunity at the Washington Navy Yard, beginning July 21, 2010, but time to register is getting short.

 “This once in a lifetime opportunity is proving to be popular. We have gotten approvals to increase the number of cadet billets available from 33 to 50,” Cirone said.

 With just 17 more billets available for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps’ Henry E. Mooberry Division’s 2010 Special Operations Training Academy, based at the Washington Navy Yard, the number of billets and the time to register for the training program is growing short.

 “We plan to accept cadets and adult volunteers until the day before the training starts. We want to give cadets, age 11 to 18 and adult volunteers, age 18 and older, the maximum possible opportunity to attend this great event,” Cirone said. “We have planned to pack a whole lot of training, certification courses and fun into a two-week period.”

 To register for a billet, cadets simply need to complete form NSCTNG-001 (available at www.resources.seacadets.org), send it to: co@seacadetsdc.org as a PDF and send the original, with their commanding officer’s signature/approval either via e-mail, mail or bring it with them.  The $245 tuition fee can be paid online (www.seacadetsdc.org – contact us section) or a money order may be sent to Joseph P. Cirone, 4196 Merchant Plaza, STE 624, Woodbridge, VA 22192.
