Hull High School senior Sean Hauter has been selected to receive the national 2013 Naval Sea Cadet of the Year Award.
"We are very happy to report that one of our graduating cadets, Chief Petty Officer Sean Hauter of Squadron 7-Zulu (Quincy), has been selected to receive the national 2013 U.S. Naval Sea Cadet of the Year Award!
For service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For truly outstanding performance of duty in 2013 while serving as the Command
Chief Petty Officer of Squadron SEVEN-ZULU, Quincy, Massachusetts. In all
respects, CPO Hauter has led “from the deckplates”. Thanks in large part to his
dedication to planning and executing unit drills, Squadron SEVEN-ZULU and Training
Ship WASP have developed new hands-on training opportunities and achieved record
completion rates in cadet advanced trainings, correspondence courses and promotions.
CPO Hauter’s chain of command attributes much of the unit’s recent success to his
personal example, maturity and leadership. CPO Hauter has completed his own
advancement requirements in record time, thereby demonstrating leadership by
example. He was hand-picked for, and successfully completed, three NSCC recruit
training staff billets in California, serving as Training Officer and as Battalion
Command Chief. In addition, he participated in the U.S. Naval Academy’s 2013
Summer Seminar and was named Overall Outstanding Candidate, a rare award. He has
excelled at Hull High School, both academically and athletically. CPO Hauter’s consistent record of achievement both in the NSCC and the community reflect great credit upon himself,
and are in keeping with the highest traditions of New England Region 1-1, the U.S.
Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
Chief Hauter was competitively selected from over 12,000 cadets across the nation, and we are very proud of him and his fellow cadets! This annual award recognizes the Naval Sea Cadet who has excelled in all phases of NSCC training, and whose achievements mark him or her as the NSCC Cadet of the Year.
Matthew P. Landry
Lieutenant Commander, NSCC
Regional Director 1-1"
