Just for the Teens

(The mark of a Naval Sea Cadet who has passed Navy SEAL Training)

This page is for the teenagers who are beginning to look into a career in the military and special operations. The organizations below offer a glimpes into what SpecOps personnel do. Follow the links and check out local units. If anyone has first hand knowledge of these units and would like to share your stories please e-mail me. If they involve any of the "special" unit I will post your information here(if you like).

Young Marines: From what I understand this is a relativly new program. It is like the NSCC, but with the USMC instead. May be between the ages of 8 and 17. Classes include:

Swimming, SCUBA, Orienteering, Corpsman, Communications, Marksmanship, Drill Team Training, Basic Training, encampments, and it's rumored some Recon training.

Again I am not familiar with this unit. So if anyone can help me, please e-mail me.

Civil Air Patrol: The CAP does mostly flighing, however it has a few classes worth doing. Pilot Survival courses are given but the best SOF class is:

Basic Pararescue Training: Non Airborne

Advanced Parsrescue Training: Airborne (I believe)

British Army Cadet Force: It includes Parachute Regiment Training(yes you will jump out of a plane). Also incldes infantry training for all cadets.

Russia put's on a Parachute course for teenagers. The teachers are part of their Special Responce Units, the Spetznaz.

Australian SASR soldiers often help out with Legacy Ward.

More to come soon....If you have any further information e-mail me.
