College freshmen students incoming to the
Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC) program
participate in a training session designed to standardize
basic militarization and provide uniform training not
available at individual host universities. The training is
being accomplished on the same base and in the same
facilities that train every enlisted Sailor.
New Student Indoctrination provides
basic training in five warfighting competencies – Fire
Fighting, Damage Control, Seamanship, Watchstanding and
Small Arms Handling and Marksmanship - to begin creating
basically trained, smartly disciplined, tough and courageous
future Navy and Marine Corps Officers.
The candidates are being led by
Navy-option 1st class and Marine-option 2nd class
midshipmen, instructors and staff from NROTC units across
the country. The staff is overseeing and instructing the
midshipmen candidates with assistance from the Recruit
Division Commanders and instructors assigned to RTC as well
as Marine Corps Drill Instructors.
