Driving by the Leeds Armory weekend before last, residents were bound to see north Alabama’s young Naval Sea Cadets Valor Division in training.

The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is a program for young men and women ages 13-17 who are interested in developing their skills in leadership, basic seamanship, courage, self-reliance and military discipline.

The main purpose is to foster good citizenship and an interest and appreciation of our nation’s sea services including the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines.

Many residents are unaware that such a program exists in their own backyard.

Last year, the NSCC program prepared the Leeds Armory for training by painting, creating sleeping places and repairing issues within the Armory to make help update the facility. At some point, they hope to use the Armory as a two-week training facility during the summer.

Over 20 young men and women met recently at the armory for a two-day drill session. The two-day drills take place one weekend a month.

The Leeds Armory provides housing during drills, as well as a place where cadets learn and practice the skills needed for their training.

During the weekend’s sessions, cadets participated in drills including a victim recovery exercise, physical training exercises and swim qualifications.

Discipline and making kids learn its value is one of the most difficult things about being parents. Generally, discipline leads to a strong character in kids.

Parents should set the limits and establish the rules. And when they do, the rules should send a clear message to the kids about personal boundaries. Of course, parents have to hear what their teenagers think about the whole situation. Although parents have an absolute authority, kids have the right to say something. Besides, compromising for a set of rules also makes child-parent relationship even much stronger.
