1/C CRUISE

Navy Option Midshipmen are fully integrated into the shipboard organization and are assigned the duties of junior officers. The goals of this training are:

1) To prepare midshipmen for commissioned service through active participation in the duties and responsibilities of a junior officer at sea
2) To further the development of officer-like qualities and leadership skills
3) To familiarize midshipmen with warfare systems
4) To emphasize the importance of maintaining military courtesy, smartness, and discipline

Midshipmen will spend approximately 4 weeks between their junior and senior years aboard a ship or submarine or assigned to an aviation squadron. They will be assigned a junior officer as their running mate. The purpose of this training period is to teach midshipmen the day to day life of a junior officer and their place in the chain of command.

Midshipmen desiring to go into the Special Warfare community (i.e. SEAL's) will be sent to Mini-BUD's for training and evaluation by officers and enlisted in the SEAL community.
