Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Welcome to the twelfth edition of the Fort Lauderdale
Division Cruise Book. US Navy cruise books are unofficial
publications published by a ship’s crew to document
a cruise or deployment. The number of copies of a
cruise book is very limited. Creating these books is an
old tradition in the Navy. This tradition dates to the late
1800’s when the crews began documenting events of
their cruises. A major difference compared to today’s
cruise books is that the early log books, as they were
called, covered a period of up to two years which was the
common period for a standard deployment. It is estimated
that, by now, more than 10,000 different US Navy Cruise
books have been published. Our sea cadet unit is a part of
the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC).
Cadets (aged 10-13) and Sea Cadets (Age 13-18), is
named for the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD-28), a San
Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship of the
United States Navy. This ship was commissioned on July
30, 2022 in Port Everglades, Florida.
The purpose of this book is to help you recall all the fine
friends and shipmates you have made in the Sea Cadets,
and to provide you with a tangible record of our travels
and experiences. It will serve as a reminder of all you
have done in making our unit successful. This book is
dedicated to the officers, staff, Cadets and families, whose
conscientious efforts, initiative and loyalty have made this
record possible.
The Navy League, by request of the Navy, formally
established the Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Navy League
Cadet Corps in 1958. Recognizing the importance and
benefits of the USNSCC, Congress on September 10,
1962 federally incorporated the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

LTJG Rosa Ryan, NSCC
Commanding Officer
Page 2 | Fort Lauderdale Division | Fort Lauderdale, Florida 2022-2023
LTJG Rosa Ryan began
her journey with the U.S.
Naval Sea Cadets when
her son Michael Ryan Jr.
joined the Kyle Carpenter
Division in New York, in
2015.
Michael has always
admired his uncle John
Ryan who is a Captain in
the U.S. Navy and a professor at the US Merchant Marine
Academy. Michael was so excited to join the U.S. Naval
Sea Cadets and the opportunity to learn about the Navy
and the sea services.
Rosa Ryan and her family moved to Florida in 2018,
and her son Michael transferred to the Fort Lauderdale
Division in September of 2018. In August of 2019 she and
her husband Michael Ryan Sr. joined as Instructors for the
Division.
LTJG Ryan served in the NYPD for 21 years and retired as
a Sergeant, prior to joining the Fort Lauderdale Division.
She began her career in law enforcement assigned to
the NYPD’s Transit Bureau, patrolling NYC’s subway
system. She was assigned to multiple agency operations,
including undercover assignments, as well as other
major events, such as the U.S. Open. She responded
to the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and was
assigned numerous times to security posts at Ground
Zero, during the rescue and recovery efforts at the World
Trade Center. Additionally, as a police officer, she was
assigned to her command’s Fugitive Enforcement Unit.
This required conducting all proper criminal background
checks and implementing proper tactics while executing
warrants at residences. She conducted investigations
and apprehended individuals wanted on active felony and
misdemeanor warrants. She then had the opportunity
to become a member of the Quality-of-Life Unit which
targeted quality of life conditions in the subway.
In January of 2005, Ryan was assigned to the Training
Bureau. She had the opportunity to work in various
units within the bureau. She was initially assigned to
the Curriculum Unit where she prepared and reviewed
NYPD recruit curriculum. Her next assignment was
being assigned to the Testing Unit which maintained the
database for exams issued to various units within the
Training Bureau. Ryan was then chosen and given the
opportunity to be assigned to the Instructor Development
Unit. This unit trains and certifies law enforcement
instructors (NYPD & outside agencies) through the NYS
Department of Criminal Justice Services. Her duties
included evaluating law enforcement instructors, as
well as critiquing and mentoring students. In addition,
she coordinated instructional classes, including public
speaking presentations, lesson plans, and video
presentations.
LTJG Ryan was promoted to Sergeant in September
2008, and was assigned to a precinct in Queens, NY.
She managed personnel assigned to the precinct and
allocated all available resources to ensure police services
were rendered efficiently. She coordinated preliminary
investigations at serious crimes and directed police
activities at emergencies. She mentored and trained
newly assigned officers to the precinct. In January
2011 she received the Police Commissioner Award for
leadership and bravely when responding to a commercial
gunpoint robbery, with hostages. Sgt. Ryan has also
been awarded a Meritorious Police Conduct Medal and
an Excellent Police Duty Medal.
In August 2013, Ryan transferred to the Training
Bureau’s, Training Assessment Unit. She was
responsible to assess all the Department’s training and
provide recommendations. In January 2014, she had the
opportunity to return to the Training Bureau’s Instructor
Development Unit.
She has been instrumental in the development,
deployment, and continued success of several highprofile
department projects under the auspices of the
Training Bureau, including the Methods of Instruction
Courses, Fundamentals of Instruction courses, “Too
Good for Drugs” program, and the Department’s new
Field Training Officers program.
Her unit served as the Department’s foremost training
resource on matters pertaining to lesson planning, public
speaking, communication, and training aids. The unit has
also trained uniformed members of the service assigned
to the Haitian Relief Program. The unit conducted
public speaking and communications modules to
newly promoted sergeants, lieutenants, and captains.
Furthermore, she was a NYPD certified Department
Master Linguist (Spanish) which she was called upon to
assist in numerous Department investigations. When the
NYPD developed the Citizen’s Teen Academy, Sgt. Ryan
developed icebreakers and the dangers of social media
program for the teen students.
LTJG Rosa Ryan holds a Baccalaureate of Science
degree in Criminal Justice, from St. John’s University and
currently works as a criminal justice coordinator for the
Institute of Public Safety at Broward College.
As Commanding Officer for Fort Lauderdale Division,
Ryan creates exciting new opportunities for cadets to
grow as individuals, work as a team and embody the
Navy values of honor, courage and commitment.

HOW SEA CADETS CHANGED
MY LIFE
Page 12 | Fort Lauderdale Division | Fort Lauderdale, Florida 2022-2023
PO2 Cristian, Lucas
For the first couple of years I was
a part of the program, I did not
accomplish much. I would attend my
weekly Saturday drills, spending the
day nonchalantly following my staff
cadets, as we would perform a near
identical POD at each meeting. I would
go home without having retained much and then forget
about Sea Cadets until Friday evening of the next week.
While it was true that we occasionally deviated with various
events that helped expand my horizons, I still wouldn’t
absorb or even understand too much of what I would
experience, and even let some opportunities go to waste.
This was such the case until a couple weeks after I had
turned 16, which is when I attended Recruit Training
and first connected to the wider Sea Cadet community.
Despite having previously attended League Orientation,
my RT is when I first began to understand the program
and the Navy. It lit a fire in me to pursue greatness within
the Corps and opened my eyes, inspiring me to make
use of the opportunities offered. In fact, hours after I had
graduated I begged my parents to immediately send me
another training that took place less than two weeks later;
field operations at Green Swamp, FL.
Going to trainings I have gained many attributes, such
as discipline, cleanliness, obedience, greater physical
strength and capability. I have become a practical and
orderly person: stricter with myself and now with a greater
sense of independence. My experience has enriched me
with different varieties of knowledge and practical skills.
From Field Operations I gained an understanding on how
infantry forces conduct their missions and gained a better
perspective of what it means to be in combat. During my
MAA training I learned about law enforcement and the
ins and outs of radio communication, clearing buildings,
and SOP for MAAs. At Seabee training I physically built a
deck with my shipmates giving me not only the practical
handy skills that required to work with my hands but
also a greater zeal for teamwork and has improved my
interpersonal skillset.
My training at POLA is ultimately what has been the
most developmental. Learning about what it means to
be a leader and how to navigate its difficulties helped
me in everyday life. I began to understand the sacrifices
required and how to maintain the relationship between
subordinates and those in command.
Returning to my unit the summer after POLA, I received
my Petty officer third class rank. Since I was the only
Petty officer at that point and with previous leadership
withdrawing, I was given the position of LPO and ordered to
take charge of my unit. I suddenly found myself in a difficult
position, with both Officers and Cadets alike looking toward
me to lead. This time period would be a trial by fire where
my only options were to sink or swim. And although it was
stressful, I was able to grow into my role and did not buckle
under the pressure. Becoming a petty officer not only
improved my leadership skills but also defined me in smaller
aspects. I learned how to project authority with confidence
but while also maintaining neutrality, and it also has helped
me speak more clearly. Calling commands and addressing
my cadets refined my voice so that I trip over my words less
and convey my intentions with greater effectiveness.
The Sea Cadet program has enriched myself and my life in
countless ways and for that I am exceedingly grateful.
SN Safarli, Jamil
Don’t stop believin’
Participating in the Naval Cadet
Corps recruit training in camp Geneva
(Fruitland, FL) was undoubtedly one
of the most challenging experiences
I have had to face in my life. The
difficulties I faced from the moment I
got assigned to the training till the end taught me valuable
life lessons that have stuck with me ever since. Firstly,
getting to the training site was an arduous task that took my
family four hours. I had to endure a long; difficult drive to the
site, which only added to my anxiety. I had never been to the
training site before and did not know what to expect.
Flashforward to after the hotel night, I was greeted by a
set of unfamiliar faces, which only made me feel more
nervous. The next morning, we were up at 4 am, which
was not something I was used to. I was already tired from
the previous day’s journey, and I did not expect the training
to be as intense as it was. However, I quickly realized that
the physical training was the best I have ever done.
Despite my tiredness, I pushed myself to the limit and
exceeded my expectations. For the next few days, it
took me a while to adjust to the rigorous routine and
the demands of the training. However, as time passed, I
found myself becoming more accustomed to the routine,
and it became easier to adapt to the environment. The
teachings that I experienced during the training were also
a valuable lesson. I learned that it is essential to keep
yourself occupied, even when things seem out of control. I
also learned the importance of staying focused on the task
at hand and not allowing myself to become distracted by
external factors. As the days went by, I began to feel more
comfortable with the other recruits, and we started to work
together as a team. This experience taught me the value of
teamwork and how important it is to rely on others in times
of need. I realized that even in the most challenging of
situations, it is essential to stay positive and work together
to overcome any obstacles.
In conclusion, the Naval Cadet Corps recruit training was
an experience that pushed me to my limits and taught me
valuable lessons that have stayed with me ever since. From
the grueling drive to the site to the early morning wakeups
and the intense physical training, I learned the value of
perseverance, teamwork, and staying focused on the task
at hand. Although it was a difficult experience, I am grateful
for the lessons I learned and the memories I made.
LC3 Rolff Stankovic, Marko
Over the past year, my first with the
Sea Cadets, I learned what a Sea
Cadet is: The United States Navy Sea
Cadets Corps gives its cadets skills,
knowledge, and confidence through
training. Sea Cadets has made a
difference in my life by showing me its
core values to strive by - honor, respect, commitment, and
service. It has made a difference in my life by giving me the
ability to rise to responsibility, enjoy countless adventures,
and, most of all, has built my confidence.
Sea Cadets has made a difference in my life by giving
me the knowledge and experience to be responsible.
Responsibility means doing something you are supposed
to do and accepting the results of your actions. In the
Page 13 | Fort Lauderdale Division | Fort Lauderdale, Florida 2022-2023
HOW SEA CADETS CHANGED
MY LIFE
Page 14 | Fort Lauderdale Division | Fort Lauderdale, Florida 2022-2023
Sea Cadets program, I am expected to prioritize and
accomplish tasks in a timely manner. Some of the ways I
must apply the value of responsibility while I am at camp
is by being physically ready, taking showers and tidying up
my space without command, and being dressed in less
than ten minutes.
Sea Cadets has made a difference in my life by giving me
many adventures to learn the importance of teamwork and
leadership. Some of the adventures focus on teambuilding
activities that help me and my friends work together,
overcome obstacles, and reach our goals. For example,
at Tiger Tails Recreational Center we had rope and aerial
challenges to triumph over. Exploring new places like
Vizcaya, watching an air show, meeting Navy helicopter
pilots, going on a Coast Guard cruiser, touring a destroyer
ship, and attending the Seven Seas Gala are just a few of
the countless adventures that Sea Cadets has given me.
I also learned from the community service activities like
beach clean-up and laying down wreaths.
Sea Cadets has made a difference in my life by giving me
confidence in myself, my choices, and my actions. The
Sea Cadets program has helped me understand that a
person’s confidence is one that is built out of a multitude
of experiences. Sea Cadets encourages and motivates
me to think and act with confidence. The lessons I have
learned have made me realize that I can do great things.
This confidence can be seen in my academics and
personal life too.
Sea Cadets has taught me many useful skills that
embody the core values. I pledge to uphold those values
by continuing to grow and keeping honor, respect,
commitment, and service in mind.
LC2 Lorzeille, Andrew
The United States Naval Sea Cadets
Corps. This is the name of the
program that changed my life. My
name is Andrew Lorzeille, but I am
now known as LC2 Lorzeille. This
program is only $100 a year, but I
went to events that costed more than
$500 dollars. The people in my division are not only just
people, but they are also my family. We are all one ship,
united and strong, with honor, respect, commitment, and
service.
To start off, this program offers fun activities that includes
team-working skills, cooperation, and friendship. For
example, we went to help the community by bringing
pumpkins to a Pumpkin Patch. We were all in a line,
passing pumpkins down, and working as a team while
making new friends. That day was incredibly fun, even
though I was starting off as a new cadet, and I did not
know anyone. I made great friends and muscles that day.
Another example is the Shark-Tagging Event. On that day,
we had extreme persistence to tag a shark. We spent
about 4 hours trying to lure it, and on the 5th hour, we
used teamwork and cooperation to tie it down and tag it.
It turned out to be a tiger shark, and when I touched it, it
was very rough. Events like these are once-in-a-lifetime
and teach great lessons about teamwork, cooperation,
and friendship.
In addition, this program has helped me to be a better
person by giving me duties, responsibility, and discipline.
For example, I went to a three-day camp for training.
We were taught survival skills, respect, teamwork, and
discipline. We built a shelter out of leaves and sticks, we
learned about formations and practiced on it, and overall
had an amazing time. Another example is the Seven Seas
Gala. I had a huge responsibility for ringing the bell a
certain number of times at extremely specific times during
a speech. Even though I was nervous on the stage, I felt
proud of myself for stepping up to the challenge of having
a huge responsibility. After the Seven Seas Gala, people
gave me respect for doing an excellent job. This is how the
program helped me to be a better person by giving me
duties, responsibility, and disciplines.
To summarize, the United States Naval Sea Cadets Corps
has changed my life in many positive ways. It has given
me once-in-a-lifetime events, teamwork skills, friendship,
responsibility, and discipline. I learned many survival
skills and feel very proud of being part of The USS Fort
Lauderdale Division. My name is LC2 Lorzeille, what are
you doing today?
LC2 Lorzeille, Sophia
The program that has changed my
life is called the United States Naval
Sea Cadets Corps, Fort Lauderdale
Division. Everyone in the program is
very friendly. This youth program has
impacted my life in many positive ways!
To begin with, this program helps me understand
and practice the four core values of the Sea Cadets
Organization which are: honor, respect, commitment,
and service. For example, if the person in command yells
“EARS”! This means that everyone is supposed to be
listening. It can sometimes be unexpected. At other times,
the command must repeat themselves because cadets
are still talking. I am learning how to be more disciplined
and respectful.
In addition, every Saturday I have a lot of fun. For instance,
I have gone to some swimming events including a Shark
Tagging Event! Outstanding! The shark looked so big.
He was 12 feet long! I also went to meet the Blue Angels
in person. I saw the Blue Angels jets and they were cool
to look at and meeting the pilots was exciting, but I was
nervous, too. During the Mini Recruit Training I enjoyed
sleeping over in the cabins with my friends and going to
the beach the next day. Also, as I will continue to grow with
the program, my confidence will become sky-high.
In conclusion, the Navy Sea Cadets Corps program has
improved my life a lot over this past year. Its four core
values will shape my future as an individual. I love the
program and the challenges of every Saturday.
