The objectives of the Cadet Training program are to expand the student’s knowledge of Coast Guard operations and missions from the perspective of a junior officer; reinforce academic-year programs and prior training with hands-on experience; develop in an engineering environment the specialized skills and knowledge necessary to become a successful career officer; reinforce in each student professional competence, dedication, commitment, and a sense of service history; provide students experience with the required interaction between chief petty officers and the ward room; and give each student a minimum of 60 days seagoing experience. A comprehensive report is required upon completion of the cruise.
