What do NROTC Midshipman do during their summers?
An integral part of the officer training process involves exposing midshipmen to Navy and Marine Corps life and allowing them to use knowledge gained during the academic year on summer training cruises. A training period of 4-6 weeks each summer for scholarship students provides this opportunity. Midshipmen are typically assigned to a variety of Naval units stationed across the globe. Summer training has included assignment to nuclear submarines, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and cruisers from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Cruises provide a great opportunity to make some money, travel, see some of the world, and operate as part of the Navy-Marine Corps team.
