The graduation uniform will be Tropical Blue. Bring comfortable black boots; you will be marching in them to and from class. It is recommended you bring all associated uniform items you’ll need, as the closest CG Exchange is in Mobile, AL, almost 4 hours away. There is a small Navy Exchange on base that has a few uniform items, but selection is limited.
PT Gear: You should bring at least two packets (6 shirts) of white crew neck t-shirts, as this iswhat the PT shirt will be. The school will issue UDT shorts. Bring all white sport socks and a pair of running shoes. It is recommended that you bring two pairs of shoes, as they will often getwet. Additionally, females should have a solid navy blue one-piece swimsuit and appropriate sports bras (gray or white). See below Sea Bag Checklist for further information.
Leave & Special Liberty Policy
Do not expect off base liberty during the weekdays at NDSTC, pending the training schedule. Weekend out-of-bounds chits, distances greater than 250 miles, may be authorized but leaving school early on Friday or coming back late on Monday is not. You must submit a special request chit through CGLO, at least one week prior to travel, for approval to travel more than 250 miles during weekend liberty. Do not book your flights to leave after graduation until you’ve checked with the CGLO.
Mandated Training
Ensure ALL of your mandated training that will or may come due during your TDY time is complete prior to arriving at NDSTC for training as there is limited time and limited computer access.
Physical Requirements
You SHALL practice and be able to perform the following prior to arriving. If you have problems performing the below requirements you shall contact CGLO prior to arrival for training.
1. Run 3 miles in less than 25 minutes.
2. Swim 1,000 yards on your back with your arms by your sides or across your chest, with mask and fins in less than 22 minutes.
3. Sit in the shallow end of a pool with only a snorkel and breath for at least 3 minutes. Practice with a snorkel in the pool without a mask and swim the circumference of the pool porpoising all the way. Practice dropping your mask and snorkel in the deep end, go down put it on, clear the mask and snorkel, then surface in a calm manner. You are required to pass this phase.
4. Drown Proofing. This will be performed for 5 minutes first with your ankles tied loosely and you may use only your hands. Next remove the line and hold it in both hands with hands touching behind the back for another 5 minutes, this time using only your legs. In both evolutions you must place your head in the water raising it only to take 1 breath before putting back in the water. You are required to pass this phase.
5. You should also periodically do the pre-screening test that you took as part of your application package. You will be required to complete this task the second day of class.
BEWARE - The PT requirements are not that difficult, however, if you gun-decked the prescreening PT test on your package and have not made an effort to be in shape upon arrival, then you will be discovered and sent home. The Coast Guard needs everyone who arrives to graduate, don’t shortchange yourself or the Coast Guard by not being prepared.
