The Naval Cadet Corps was created towards the end of December in 2003. The decision was made by the Scientific Council of the Far East State Technical Institute. The first students in the Corps were admitted on February 5, 2004.
In its five years of activity, the Corps has received more than 220 youngsters, and the majority of those have further enrolled in learning institutions of the Russian Defense Ministry, the power structures, as well as institutes that prepare specialists for the civil service and the private sector.
More than 20 people graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps in 2008. Seventeen graduates enrolled at the Far East State Technical Institute and the Naval Institute of the Pacific in 2008. The remainder enrolled at other institutes.
The cadets take part in most activities taking place in the region, the city and the Fleet and demonstrate a high level of education and discipline.
The chairman of the Primorie Legislative Assembly, Professor Viktor Vasilievich Gorchakov; the president of the Far East State Technical Institute, Prof. Gennady Petrovich Turmov; the president of the Vladivostok Maritime Association, Vice Admiral (Ret.) Boris Fedorovich Prekhodko, and Admiral (Ret.) Victor Dmitrievich Fedotov are all honorary members of the Corps.
In establishing the Corps, those behind the initiative wanted to return to the best traditions of the Russian pedagogical science: providing, along with a great education, a quality upbringing, meaning the creation of the statesmen needed to serve the country in its armed forces and in civil society.
