Training

One of our major goals in Halsey Battalion is the constant training of our Cadets in all aspects of Naval Education as well as life skills. We pride ourselves in educating our Cadets to their utmost potential. This page contains basic information for the training of all Cadets. Upon entrance into the Halsey Battalion, each Cadet will receive a personalized CD with all Training Materials needed for advancement. This page will serve as a sampling of basic items for each Cadet to be familiar with.

Cadets complete actual Navy Correspondence Courses to advance. These courses will be provided on the CD to them on their first drill. Additionally, they will be educated on the order they should complete these courses.
