GREAT LAKES, Ill. (June 23, 2021) A Naval ROTC New Student Indoctrination (NSI) midshipman candidate receives instruction from a recruit division commander during a summer white uniform inspection at Recruit Training Command (RTC). Upon completion of NSI, the candidates will start their freshman year of the Naval ROTC program at colleges and universities nationwide this fall. NSI is a three-week indoctrination program hosted at RTC, which provides midshipmen with a common military training orientation. NSI provides basic training in five warfighting fundamentals - firefighting, damage control, seamanship, watchstanding and small arms handling and marksmanship - to begin creating basically trained and smartly disciplined future Navy and Marine Corps officers. Naval ROTC is overseen by Commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), Rear Adm. Jennifer S. Couture, which supports naval accessions training for 98 percent of the Navy's new officers and enlisted Sailors. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Giselle Christmas)
