The Official Embry-Riddle Naval ROTC page. Make sure to check back periodically as updated pictures and information will be posted as events occur.

This page is intended for anyone who is interested in following the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps Unit at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The NROTC Unit at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is committed to developing quality officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The midshipmen within the Battalion accomplish this through physical training, c

lose order drill, community service, and leadership opportunities available from the Battalion or elsewhere. Midshipmen also have summer training each year to learn more about the different communities in the Navy. Rising 3/C midshipmen that go on summer training attend Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen, or CORTRAMID. On CORTRAMID, the midshipmen spend a week each with the surface, submarine, aviation, and Marine Corps communities. Rising 2/C Navy option midshipmen that go on summer training spend time aboard either a ship or submarine and are assigned running mates from the enlisted ranks to get a firsthand view of how life aboard the ship or submarine is from them. Rising 2/C Marine option midshipmen attend Mountain Warfare Training where they learn different survival techniques and get ready for Officer Candidate School the following summer which they attend as 1/C midshipmen.

1/C Navy option midshipmen can be assigned to a ship, submarine, or squadron. They are assigned junior officers as running mates to get an idea of their role within the command. 1/C Navy option midshipmen can also spend time with the Special Forces community (Explosive Ordnance Disposal or SEALs) or go on a Foreign Exchange cruise in which they train with a foreign navy.

Throughout the semester, the Battalion competed in a variety of intramural sports seasons including basketball, soccer, softball and much more. These friendly competitions help bring unit cohesion and cooperation between the university and the Battalion, as well as boot morale for the involved MIDN. The games act as a nice way for MIDN to relax during the academic semester.
