Cadet PO3 Conroy: Honor Cadet in Submarine School (Advanced)

8/16/2019

We are proud of all of our cadets when they successfully take on the challenge of Sea Cadet Advanced Training. We are especially proud when one of our cadets is named the Honor Cadet of their training contingent. BZ to Cadet PO3 Paul Conroy, who was named Honor Cadet in Submarine School (Advanced) at Naval Base Kitsap and the Trident Training Facility Bangor, WA.

Cadets at the two-week training course learned fundamentals of engineering for communication systems, fire control, sonar, hydraulics, air systems, ballast/compensation/trim and drain. They were also able to navigate a simulated submarine, using the same bridge and control room simulators used by US Navy submariners. A highlight of the school was a tour of the USS Pensylvania (SSBN-735), including visits to the missile compartment, missile control center, officers' wardroom, control room, torpedo room and more.

PO3 Conroy thought that Submarine School was the most authentic training he has experienced of the six he has attended. He enjoyed being trained by active-duty sailors using real equipment on an operating Naval base. Unfortunately, most of the training was conducted where cameras are not allowed, so we do not have many photos to share on this post.

However, Submarine School was not PO3 Conroy's only summer training. He also attended a two-week Master-at-Arms school in Riverside, CA, where he was trained by a number of civilian and military police forces, including Marines from the Special Reaction Team at Camp Pendleton. The photos below provide just a taste of the training opportunities available to Sea Cadets.
