Three of the Alamo Battalion’s Sea Cadets learned a range of seamanship skills at Texas A&M University in Galveston Texas. The Alamo Battalion’s Cadet PO3 Isaac Arredondo, Cadet PO3 Christavella Arredondo and Cadet SN Paola Quintanilla practiced navigation, damage-control and other seamanship skills during a one-week training.

Cadets participated in an advanced shipboard navigation simulator, learning how to navigate a large open ocean vessel.  Cadets also drove high speed vessels in response to emergencies, learned how to plot navigation on charts, and we able to go underway in a merchant marine vessel.

Bravo Zulu, cadets!
