RIGHT - Santa made a special pre-Christmas Eve stop at DAR Constitution Hall to ask Navy Band's 2007 Commanding Officer, CAPT George N. Thompson, to whom Santa referred to as "the new guy," if the band members have been nice in 2007. CAPT Thompson told Santa they were "very, very nice."

Party On, Dude!

    

  LEFT - It was a VERY LONG two days and nights for the unit (getting up at 0600 and getting home after 2230; then up again at 0600 and finally home after 2100), so here one Cadet takes advantage of a some downtime and catches a few winks. RIGHT - Ms. Herbert (left) and Santa? (Actually, Cadet (Seaman Apprentice) A. Stephens) getting ready for the unit's Holiday Party at the Naval Support Facility Anacostia in DC. Over 50 people attended and enjoyed the event.

  

Cadets, Adult Volunteers, Parents and Guests enjoy line dances at the Unit's Holiday Party.

  

Two of the Unit's newest Cadets, G. A. Edness and G. I. Edness, show their award-winning and amazing dance moves, as other Cadets and their guests look on.

     

Ah Yes, "The Chicken Dance!" (Fun to do at Any Age! - Almost as Funny Watching People Doing it!)

 

INST Madden thought the Party would be a good place to study for his College History Book - Wrong!  Ms. Herbert led the charge of "The Conga Line" to get INST Madden into the dance mood. When he resisted, the Conga Line made a "Command Decision" and simply took INST Madden AND his chair into the line, as he continued his study. How's that for "multitasking?"

Edness, the winners of the dance competition strike a pose and show off U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps "Test your Limits" T-Shirts, they received as prizes.

(Left) WASHINGTON DC (8 SEP 07) - Cadets Anna and Hannah Lan discuss their experiences at Field Medic Training at U.S. Army Fort Lewis, WA during the Summer. Beside NSCC Navy SEAL Training, Field Medic Training (Navy Corpsman in the field with the Marine Corps) is considered one of the most grueling physical and mental challenges a Cadet can face to "Test Your Limits! The Lan sisters pressed on against odds that were stacked against them, proving their determination and toughness. They both graduated, whereas many other did not. They were the only females to have withstood the vigor's of the tough, but very rewarding training. SA Anna Lan even earned an NSCC Citation Ribbon for being part of the most outstanding Team during the training! 

(Right) WASHINGTON DC (9 SEP 07) - A few Cadets "strike a pose," during a "field day" (cleaning detail) in the unit's Administrative Office area at the Washington Navy Yard. Fun with fellow Cadets while learning and even while cleaning, is one of the unit's top priorities.
