THERE HAVE BEEN SIX COMMANDING OFFICERS OVER THE YEARS, AND THE UNIT IS NOW COMMANDED BY LCDR DEBORAH (NICOLE) MARCUM.
COMMAND PHILOSOPHY
It is my hope that each cadet and officer take advantage of every opportunity this program has to offer.
Cadets embrace the Navy experience by wearing your uniform with pride, learning the rich history and traditions of the Navy, and exploring the variety of career opportunities in the Navy.
I want every cadet to develop future career skills and leadership skills while developing their civic responsibilities.
But mostly I want each cadet and officer to build positive, professional relationships and have fun.
​
My vision for the unit is to grow through recruitment of cadets and officers, through enrichment of both cadets and officers, and through development of relationships with community partners.
