As an incoming freshman to the Cornell NROTC Unit, you will participate in our unit’s Orientation Week. This 5-day long orientation occurs prior to Cornell’s college-wide orientation, and serves as an introduction to appropriate military bearing, customs, and physical training. This period helps build camaraderie between the midshipmen of the incoming class and develops necessary teamwork skills. Some activities include:
-
- Running a Navy PFA
- Learning the basics of drill
- Group PT sessions
- Leadership-focused team bonding exercises
- Briefs on MIDN expectations and customs
