Corps of Cadets
Essential to the leadership training
program at Cal Maritime is the Corps of
Cadets, to which every student belongs.
Through participation in the Corps,
cadets develop the self-discipline,
self-esteem, and character that will
help them succeed in their chosen
careers. Being a cadet means being
responsible, reliable, punctual,
patient, professional, and attentive to
detail. Being a cadet also means
adhering to mandatory uniform and
grooming standards. Ultimately every
cadet understands how to follow
directions, work as a member of a team,
and lead others at the academy and on
the training ship. This leadership
development, the ultimate goal of the
Corps of Cadets, enables every graduate
to excel whether at sea or shoreside.
The Corps of Cadets is comprised of
approximately 60 cadet officers
appointed by the President from the
junior and senior classes. The Corps
Commander is the highest ranking cadet
and works closely with his/her Corps
Executive Officer, Corps Chief Mates,
Corps Chief Engineers, and Corps
Administrative Officer. There are six
divisions within the Corps, and every
cadet is placed in a division at the
beginning of Fall Orientation. The
Division Commanders work closely with
all cadets in developing professional,
watch standing, and leadership skills.
These officers also work to ensure high
morale, camaraderie, and fellowship
within their division.
It is an honor to be a cadet at Cal
Maritime and that honor carries with it
pride and responsibility that exceeds
that of the normal college student. A
Cal Maritime cadet is asked to do more,
is held to higher standards of personal
conduct and professionalism, and is
given more responsibility than the
traditional college student.
Executive Team: The
Corps Commander, Corps Executive
Officer, Corps Administrative Officer,
Corps Training and Academics Officer,
Blue and Gold Company Commanders, and
the ASCMA Executive President form the
executive team. The team meets on
a regular basis with the Commandant of
Cadets to discuss leadership development
and issues pertaining to the Corps of
Cadets.
