Summer is over and the members of the Manatee Division of the Naval Sea Cadet

Corps (Yankeetown) can say that they had an exciting and adventurous season. Let's see

what they have been up to.

The Sea Cadet Corps is a youth organization for Americans 13-17 years old who

are interested in the maritime services. Cadets in the program are allowed to wear Navy

This year we had cadets like Petty Officer Third Class Israel Diaz, Citrus County resident

and the unit's Assistant Leading Petty Officer, attend POLA at NAS Whiting Field in Pen-

sacola and Seaman Emily Lo Vece, of Marion County, attend across the country in Califor-

nia while part of a family vacation.

One of the most popular advanced trainings to attend is the Petty Officer Leader-

ship Academy as this is a prerequisite for continuing to earn rank. Generally, cadets are

learn how to lead physical training, how to teach a class and public speaking.
