NROTC New Student Orientation Dates: TBD - please note all information below will be updated throughout the Winter 2009 SY!
The University of Michigan NROTC conducts six days of orientation training at the beginning of each school year to provide incoming midshipmen an introduction to the Naval ROTC. Four days of the training are conducted at Fort Custer, an Army National Guard Base near Grand Rapids, Michigan. During New Student Orientation, students are introduced to military customs and courtesies, organized physical fitness training, and military life. Orientation is not military boot camp. Orientation is a short training period in which students complete administrative in-processing, receive uniforms, and attend periods of instruction that assist them in their transition into the Naval ROTC.
