Once your registration is complete, our Supply Petty Officers will ensure you are fitted and issued uniforms at the next drill. Remember, these are REAL U.S. Navy uniforms and should be treated with respect, which means acting professional and being a great ambassador for the Navy and Gulf Eagle Division.
Uniforms are only to be worn during Sea Cadet events. Contact your Chain of Command if you would like to wear the uniform to a private event, such as a Military Retirement or School event.

All uniform components provided by Gulf Eagle Division will be returned upon resignation from unit.

Remember: The most important quality for Gulf Eagle Division volunteers to have is the ability to always follow the motto “It’s For ALL The Cadets!”

There are three types of volunteers:

Auxiliary: The Auxiliary consists of volunteers who only desire to make a limited commitment and whose responsibilities are occasional. We rely on these member to help transport cadets to events and help us ensure we have enough adults present at drill, in accordance with USNSCC regulations.

Instructor & Officers: Officers and instructors are adult volunteers who have made the commitment to become members of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and to support Gulf Eagle Division with a greater level of involvement. These volunteers are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the unit and drills. They attend the OPD 101-301 series of training programs, which are designed specifically for USNSCC officers and instructors and wear NSCC uniforms (which includes the alternate uniform: khaki pants and USNSCC polo)
