Newport, RI Preparation

What can you expect from your training experience in Newport, RI?  

  • One of the most challenging and rewarding training experiences you will experience in the Sea Cadets. Each course offered consists of 40hrs of classroom work, including; learning advanced concepts, practical applications, quizzes, and a final exam. Nightly reading, study groups, and frequent PT.
  • Berthing for students is 2 per room. Showers are private stalls within a large open Head.  Participants will use spaces based on their sex as it appears in Magellan.  Separate accommodations for those that don’t support this may be available if space allows and you should contact us for further information about this.
  • Food is provided by the Navy galley on base.
  • Make new friends, learn A LOT about yourself, stretch your limits, and gain confidence.
  • In winter months it will be very cold in Newport. We’ve seen 14 degrees cold and wind, and we’ve seen up to 50. In winter DO NOT arrive without an authorized NWU Gore-Tex Parka and/or the black fleece liner – you will be cold! Bring essentials to help you withstand extreme cold and wind (refer to the seabag list).
