On the third day after the events at Pearl Harbor, Japanese air forces bombed the submarine. Several U.S. sailors died as most were on shore. Later, Japanese ground forces invaded the island and eventually captured American and Filipino troops leading to the events of the Death March. After the war and the return to the  U.S., survivors of the Bataan Death March formed an organization named the Battling Bastards of Bataan. They selected the heraldry symbol of a sea lion to represent the organization. Dating to the year 400 AD, the sea lion represented the men who fought to protect the coastal waters. Bataan Military Academy proudly presents the sea lion as its mascot. Former Navy artist Jim Pearson of Albuquerque was commissioned to create a contemporary version of the sea lion. It is his conceptual version that is used by the academy. Military Life. As Cadets do not live at the academy, discipline is  reinforced by adult Instructors and Senior Cadets. Such discipline is crucial to maintaining the integrity and leadership-building qualities that are valued at the school. Military Organization.

(Typically in the same grade level) Platoon structure is as follows: Platoon Commander, Platoon Leading Petty Officer, Platoon Yeoman, Squad Leaders (1-4).
