190719-N-IK959-2002 GREAT LAKES, Ill., (July 19, 2019) – Rear Adm. Jamie Sands, commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), enters a classroom in the USS John F. Kennedy ship barracks at Recruit Training Command (RTC). Sands was there to talk with Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) midshipman instructors as part of NROTC New Student Indoctrination (NSI). The NROTC midshipman instructors were part of the three-week NSI. They are the main instructors, mentors and leaders of young men and women from across the country entering their freshman year of the NROTC program at universities nationwide this fall. The indoctrination program, hosted at RTC, the U. S. Navy’s only boot camp, provides standardized entry-level militarization and prepares midshipmen with a common training orientation. They are led by Navy-option 1st class and Marine-option 2nd class midshipmen, instructors and staff from NROTC units throughout the United States. The staff is overseeing and instructing the midshipmen candidates with assistance from the Recruit Division Commanders and instructors assigned to RTC as well as active duty Marine Corps Drill Instructors. NSI provides basic training in five warfighting fundamentals – 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.
