NSCC ACTION LETTER 4-00

1. Purpose: To announce the immediate cancellation of the requirement for Officer or Midshipman applicants to provide a personal medical history or have a medical examination to affiliate with the Naval Sea cadet Corps.

2. Discussion: The requirement of a medical examination for our adult volunteers has been an additional hardship and cost levied against those individuals who are vital to our program. Adults participate as instructors and escorts and do not necessarily take part in the rigorous PT expected of our cadets. Additionally, NSCC adults generally do not aspire to a Navy career as do cadets, and will not need to meet Military Entrance Processing Station requirements, Our medical insurance policy no longer covers illnesses and now covers accidents only.

3. Action:

1. Please mark through and delete these requirements in the NSCC Regulations and manuals listed as references (a) through (c); note cancellation date therein.
   
   
2. Effective immediately NSC-5A and NSC-5B forms will no longer he required when applying for enrollment or renewal of enrollment for ADULTS. All pending applications for enrollment where thsse forms were the only missing requirement will he removed from pending and processed.
   
   
3. This does not cancel the requirements for weight standards in regards to wearing of the modified U.S. Navy officer uniform.
   
   
4. This does not cancel the requirement of a medical history and medical examination for cadets.

4. Cancellation: This action letter is cancelled when required actions havs been completed and Offiicer/Midshipman Medical History and Medical Examination Requirements have been removed from refs. (a) through (d).
