    190719-N-IK959-1559 GREAT LAKES, Ill., (July 19, 2019) – Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) midshipman candidates march past the USS Arleigh Burke ship barracks at Recruit Training Command (RTC). The candidates are part of the three-week New Student Indoctrination (NSI). The young men and women from across the country will be 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.
