1. Region 11 uniquely enjoys the opportunity to provide NLCC cadets a sequence of summer training that includes a third summer's training, scheduled as Advanced II. Historically, the Basic Military Requirements (BMR) Correspondence Course has been used as the primary subject matter for this training. Questions have arisen regarding the teaching and use of this course as Advanced II and the crediting of this course towards NSCC program requirements. Policy is as follows:

a. Use and teaching BMR as Advanced II is authorized and encouraged. However, the following prerequisites must be met by all participating NLCC cadets:

(1) Cadets must be in their third year of affiliation as a NLCC cadet.
(2) Cadets must have successfully completed NLCC Orientation in their first year's summer training and NLCC Advanced Training in their second year's summer training.
(3) Cadets must be 13 years old.

b. The following requirements must be met in teaching the course.

(1) Teaching all subject matter is expected. Teaching only the answers is not acceptable.
(2) Cadets must successfully complete the course as intended and required by any and all other sailors who take this course.
(3) Instructors must guarantee the integrity of the course to ensure cadets have the same advantage and knowledge base as all others who complete the course, and can met the expectations placed upon them by seniors who believe and trust that they've completed the course.

2. Cadets who properly and successfully complete the Advanced II BMR course will be credited as having completed the BMR course. This credit meets NSCC requirements.
