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.

US 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.
