CHAPTER I
THE NROTC PROGRAM
101. History of the Program
The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) was established by an act of Congress in 1925 to
offer interested college students the necessary Naval Science courses required to qualify them for
commissions in the Naval Reserve. NROTC Units were established in 1926 at six universities. The
Marine Corps joined the program in 1932 offering qualified Midshipmen reserve commissions in the
United States Marine Corps. The initial program was highly successful and was instrumental in the
Navy's expansion from a manpower force of 100,000 officers and men in 1933 to over three and one-half
million in 1945. As the United States became the world's leading power, the requirement for a larger
regular career officer corps for the Navy became evident. The Holloway Plan, passed in 1946,
established the NROTC Regular Program, supplementing the output of the U. S. Naval Academy. In
1972, the Secretary of the Navy authorized 16 women to enroll in the program and in 1992 the first 120
Nurse Corps commissions were authorized. NROTC now consists of the NROTC Scholarship Program
and the NROTC College Program, both of which award graduating Midshipmen regular commissions in
the Navy and Marine Corps.
102. Mission and Goals of the Program
a. Mission. The mission of the University of Virginia NROTC program is to develop Midshipmen
mentally, morally, and physically and imbue them with the highest ideals of duty and loyalty, and with
the core values of honor, courage and commitment, in order to commission college graduates as naval
officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated towards careers in the naval service,
and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest
responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.
b. Goals. The primary goals of the NROTC Program are to provide NROTC students with:
(1) An understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of naval science.
(2) A basic understanding of associated professional knowledge.
(3) An appreciation for the requirements for national security.
(4) A strong sense of personal integrity, honor, and individual responsibility.
(5) An educational background which will allow them to successfully undertake, in later periods of
their careers, advanced/continuing education in fields of application and interest to the naval
service.
(6) A high state of physical fitness for the purposes of health and performance.
103. Definition of Programs
a. Four-Year Scholarship Program. Navy and Marine Scholarship NROTC students are selected
annually by a national selection board. They are appointed Midshipmen, U. S. Navy or Marine Corps
Reserve, and are on inactive duty except while on summer training. Scholarship students receive the
I-1
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
benefits provided by law, which include full tuition, uniforms, a book stipend, and a monthly subsistence
allowance. Currently, the book stipend is $750 per year and the monthly allowance is as follows: 1styear/
$250, 2nd year/ $300, 3rd year/ $350 and 4th year/ $400 per month. Midshipmen on scholarship will
complete three summer training sessions and, upon graduation, will be commissioned as regular officers
in the Navy or Marine Corps, to serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. They are
obligated to serve a minimum of four years active duty after commissioning, depending on their service
selection.
b. Four-Year College Program. College Program NROTC students are civilians who have entered
into a contract with the Secretary of the Navy. They are selected by the Commanding Officer, NROTC
Unit, from among those students enrolling in the University who apply for the program. College Program
students are referred to as Midshipmen, although they do not actually have such appointments. They take
the same Naval Science courses, wear the same uniforms and participate in all Unit activities in the same
manner as Scholarship students. College Program student benefits include uniforms, Naval Science
textbooks, and, during their third and fourth years, a monthly subsistence allowance. The monthly
allowance is initiated only after College Program students are qualified for advanced standing (3rd/4th year
students). They participate in one summer training session and, upon graduation, are commissioned as
regular officers in the Navy or Marine Corps to serve a minimum of three years active duty, depending on
their service selection.
c. Change from College Program to Scholarship Status. The Professor of Naval Science may
recommend deserving College Program students for Scholarship status. Selection is based on academic
performance and aptitude evaluation. Final approval is vested in the Commander, Naval Service Training
Command (NSTC) in Great Lakes, Illinois, via NSTC OD in Pensacola, Florida.
d. Two-Year Scholarship Program. The NROTC Two-Year Scholarship Program is open to students
in their final two years of college. Application for this program is made early in the spring of the Second
(sophomore) year in college. Midshipmen already in the NROTC program are not eligible to apply.
Selected applicants report to the Naval Science Institute (NSI) at Newport, RI, in June, after completing
their second year of college (or after the third year of a five-year curriculum). NSI is a six-week course in
naval science and military training that covers the material of the first two years of NROTC. Upon
completion of NSI a Two-Year Scholarship Program student has the same status as a Four-Year
Scholarship Program student in the same class.
e. Two-Year College Program. NROTC Two-Year College Program students are those with
advanced University standing who are qualified for enrollment in advanced courses in the NROTC
Program. Successful completion of six weeks of summer training at NSI is equivalent to the naval
science and drill required for NROTC students during the first two years of the Four-Year College
Program. Those enrolled in the Two-Year College Program will have the same privileges and obligations
as students enrolled in the Four-Year College Program. An opportunity exists for qualified students in
this program to obtain an NROTC scholarship. Navy selection preference will be given to nominees
enrolled in engineering or hard science majors (Tier 1 and 2 majors).
f. Nurse Corps Program. Since 1991, Nursing has been allowed as a major for NROTC Midshipmen.
Nursing option students are required to take four of the eight naval science classes and to participate in
drill, except where such participation conflicts with required clinicals. Upon graduation, students are
commissioned as Ensign, Nurse Corps, United States Navy.
g. Five Year Students. Scholarship and College Program Students may pursue fields of study
requiring up to five years for a baccalaureate degree whose total workload of degree course requirements,
Navy specified course requirements and Naval Science courses exceed a normal four year workload (15-
I-2
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
18 hours/semester). Students in this category may apply for additional tuition and subsistence payments
or they may elect to take leaves of absence. Leaves of absence are normally taken in the advanced
program. During leaves of absence, financial benefits cease. Midshipmen receiving extended financial
benefits will participate in normal drill. Applications for fifth year benefits for engineering students may
be made at the beginning of the fourth academic year.
(1) University policy states that students in the College of Arts and Sciences are allowed no more
than eight semesters to complete degree requirements except under extraordinary circumstances. The
Navy may assist Midshipmen financially during summer school if the summer session will advance their
commissioning dates.
(2) Fifth year benefits do incur additional service obligations equal to the additional time studying
and commence at the beginning of the first semester of extended benefits.
h. Naval Science Students. Naval Science Students are University students who have enrolled in a
Naval Science course with the approval of the Professor of Naval Science. They have no official
connection with the Navy or Marine Corps, and are not required to participate in drills, summer training,
or NROTC activities. Naval Science Students receive no financial benefits.
i. Seaman to Admiral 21 (STA-21)
(1) Definition: The Seaman to Admiral 21 (STA-21) program provides fleet input officer candidates
with a $10,000 tuition voucher to use at the NROTC Unit to complete their undergraduate degree in 36
months. STA-21 participants retain their enlisted salary and benefits while attending school full time.
(2) Status of STA-21 Students. STA-21 students are designated as Officer Candidates and
participate in all Battalion activities while completing their academic program. STA-21 students retain
their enlisted status for pay and advancement purposes, retain all privileges and benefits accruing to
active members, and are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). They wear the Navy
uniform with Officer Candidate insignia while at drill and are addressed as “Officer Candidate”.
(3) More information on this program is available at the STA-21 website: http://www.sta21.navy.mil
j. Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP)
(1) Definition. The MECEP is a college program for specially selected Marine Corps enlisted
personnel leading to a baccalaureate degree in four years or less and a commission in the U.S. Marine
Corps.
(2) Status of MECEP Students. MECEP students are active duty enlisted Marines who, during
their tour of duty under instruction, retain their active duty status. As such, they receive full pay and
allowances, retain all privileges and benefits accruing to active members, and are subject to the Uniform
Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). While assigned to the NROTC unit, MECEP students are carried on
the roster of the nearest Marine Corps activity but are under the administrative and disciplinary
jurisdiction of the Professor of Naval Science. MECEP students wear the Marine enlisted uniform and
are referred to by their enlisted rank.
(3) Specific guidance on the administration of MECEP students is found in MCO 1560.15(series).

104. Summer Training
a. Training periods with operating forces of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, summer cruises, give
NROTC students the opportunity to gain experience through the practical application of naval science.
Training sessions are normally four to eight weeks in length.
(1) Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen (CORTRAMID). Sometimes referred to as
Midshipmen Third Class Training, CORTRAMID is a combined aviation, surface, subsurface, and
Marine Corps orientation period for Scholarship students. The cruise is normally made between the
student's first and second years at either San Diego, CA or Norfolk, VA. One week is spent with each of
the major Navy communities (Naval Aviation, Naval Submarine Service, Navy Surface) and the Marine
Corps. The objective of the Aviation Training Week is to introduce Midshipmen to the basic concepts of
naval aviation through flights in naval aircraft and supporting lectures and demonstrations. The objective
of Surface Warfare Training Week is to provide a more complete picture of the Surface Warfare
community through two days aboard an underway warship supplemented by tours and lectures during the
week. Submarine Training Week is designed to introduce and promote an interest in the Submarine
Warfare community through tours and lectures that support two days underway aboard a nuclear-powered
submarine. The objective of Marine Training week is to expose Midshipmen to Marine Corps operations,
the fundamentals of amphibious warfare, and the complexities of conducting these operations.
(2) Midshipmen Second Class Cruise (Navy). This cruise is conducted aboard a fleet ship or
submarine and is normally made between the student's second and third years. Midshipmen assume the
duties of enlisted personnel regularly assigned to the ship.
(3) Midshipmen First Class Training (Navy)
(a) Surface Cruise. This is a cruise aboard a fleet ship, normally completed by both Scholarship
and College Program students between their third and fourth years. Midshipmen are trained in junior
officer billets and are given an opportunity to assume the responsibilities of junior officers in as many
departments of the ship as practicable.
(b) Foreign Exchange Cruise (FOREX). The Foreign Exchange Cruise program is designed to
promote an exchange of professional, cultural, and social experiences between Midshipmen in the United
States Navy and Midshipmen of foreign navies. A limited number of exemplary Midshipmen First Class
are selected by NSTC to serve their First Class Cruise with a foreign navy in lieu of the normal First
Class training cruise. Fluency in a foreign language is normally required. Interested students should see
their Year Group Advisor in their third year to apply.
(c) Submarine Cruise. This is an alternative for prospective submariners. As with Foreign
Exchange cruises, selections are made on an individual basis by NSTC. Only male midshipmen may
apply for this option.
(d) Nuclear Propulsion Cruise. This is an alternative to First Class Cruise for prospective
Surface Line (Nuclear). As with Foreign Exchange cruises, selections are made on an individual basis by
NSTC. This option is open to male and female midshipmen.
(e) Aviation Cruise. This program is designed to place potential naval aviators in operating
fleet squadrons during First Class Cruise attached to either aircraft carriers or ashore with patrol
squadrons (VP), helicopter squadrons (HS/HSU), or training squadrons (VT). A limited number of
exemplary First Class Midshipmen are selected by NSTC to serve in these aviation billets.
I-4
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
(4) Marine Option Summer Training. Marine Option Scholarship Midshipmen participate in
CORTRAMID after their first year. After their second year, Marine Option Midshipmen attend Mountain
Warfare Training (MWT). After their third year, both Marine Option Scholarship and College Program
students attend Officer Candidates School (6-Week Course) at the Marine Corps Combat Development
Command, Quantico, Virginia.
(5) Nurse Training. 3/C Nurse Option Midshipmen are assigned to the Medical Department of a
large fleet ship. 1/C Nurse Option Midshipmen are assigned to large shore training hospitals.
b. Preparation for Training. Detailed instructions for the various training periods are promulgated to
each participating Midshipman in the form of Midshipmen Administrative Summer Training Journals and
cruise memoranda. Every year, Unit Staff and Midshipmen who have completed various cruises provide
detailed briefings to better explain the opportunities and requirements.
(1) Immunizations. Appropriate inoculations will be given prior to departure from the Unit.
(2) Forms for Summer Training. Students will be provided with the following items prior to
departure from the Unit (these forms must be carried during summer training). Orders, travel claim forms
and electronic tickets will be e-mailed prior to cruise.
(a) Armed Forces Identification Card (DD 2N-Reserve)
(b) International Certificates of Vaccination (PHS-731)
(c) Midshipmen Health Records (medical and dental)
(3) Cruise Information. Information regarding cruise may be found at the following website:
https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/summer_cruise.aspx. This website also contains current clothing and
equipment requirements that Midshipmen participating in a cruise will be issued prior to reporting.
c. Postponement and Rescheduling of Cruises. Postponement of cruises is not normally permitted. If
a student is allowed to postpone a cruise, he is still required to take his cruises in the normal sequence.
Scheduling of a cruise can sometimes be made around a session of Summer School.
d. Indoctrination Trips. During the academic year Midshipmen are afforded the opportunity to travel
on field trips sponsored by the Unit or NSTC. Transportation and quarters are furnished, but Midshipmen
are responsible for meal expenses.
105. Class Advancement Criteria

106. Commissioning
NROTC Scholarship and College Program graduates are commissioned in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine
Corps. Ensigns and Second Lieutenants are ordered to active duty with obligated service as follows:
a. Scholarship Program, MECEP, and STA-21 Students. A minimum of four years active duty and
retention of a Reserve commission until commissioned service totals eight years.
b. College Program Students. A minimum of three years active duty and retention of a Reserve
commission until commissioned service totals eight years.
c. Because of lengths of training, Midshipmen opting for service in aviation, special warfare,
submarine warfare, or nuclear surface warfare specialties will have longer tours of active duty. See the
Year Group Advisors for specifics.
107. Choice of Type and Place of Duty
a. Navy. Newly commissioned Ensigns will be assigned in one of the following areas:
(1) Surface Line. Midshipmen choosing this option typically report to their ships within a few
months of commissioning.
(2) Submarines or Surface Line (Nuclear). A Midshipman may apply for the nuclear power
program and, if accepted, will receive a $17,000 nuclear accession bonus, $15,000 paid immediately upon
acceptance and $2,000 paid upon completion of the Nuclear Training pipeline. Upon receiving their
commissions, applicants for the submarine community attend Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC,
while Surface Line (N) will proceed for fleet duty. For further information contact the nuclear power
representative.
(3) Flight Training. If physically qualified, Midshipmen may request pilot or naval flight officer
training. Initial training begins at Pensacola, Florida.
(4) Special Warfare. Qualified Midshipmen may apply for selection. Initial training begins at
Coronado, California.
(5) Restricted Line/Staff Corps. Normally, First Class Midshipmen may apply for a Navy
Commission in a Restricted Line or Staff Corps community only if not physically qualified for the
Unrestricted Line. For further information contact the Service Selection Officer.
b. Marine Corps. Upon graduation, newly commissioned Second Lieutenants will attend The Basic
School at Quantico, VA for 23 weeks before assignment to a specialist military school or naval aviation
training. For further information, contact the MOI/ AMOI.
108. Disenrollment from the Program
a. Voluntary. A Four-Year Scholarship student may voluntarily disenroll from the NROTC Program
without obligation at any time prior to the commencement of the second year of NROTC Scholarship aid.
I-7
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
The Four-Year College Program student may voluntarily drop the NROTC Program without obligation
prior to becoming a College Program (Advanced Standing) Midshipman in the third year.
b. Physical. Midshipmen who do not meet the physical standards required for commissioning are
disenrolled. Three failures in a four-year period to pass the PRT, third class swim, or meet height/weight
requirements require disenrollment. The Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) recommends
decisions as to physical qualifications to the Commander, NSTC, who ultimately makes the
determination.
c. Academic. Unsatisfactory progress toward degree completion may result in disenrollment. A
Midshipman who is suspended from the University for academic reasons is automatically disenrolled
from the NROTC Program.
d. Aptitude. Midshipmen demonstrating unsatisfactory aptitude for Naval service will be disenrolled.
e. Disciplinary. A major breach of discipline or commission of a serious criminal or moral offense
may result in disciplinary disenrollment.
f. Active enlisted service (AES)/ Recoupment. A scholarship program student who has incurred a

UVA NROTC ORGANIZATION
301. History of the NROTC Unit at the University of Virginia
The University of Virginia requested an NROTC Unit on July 19, 1940. The request was
approved and Naval ROTC became the first ROTC Unit at the University. In October 1940, the Unit
commenced classes with about 100 Midshipmen. Departmental offices were in the basement of the
Rotunda. In August 1941 ground was broken for Maury Hall, which now houses the Department of Naval
Science. During World War II, Navy V-5 and V-12 programs also operated at The University for effective
cooperation in training naval personnel during the war. Since establishment, over 2050 University of
Virginia NROTC graduates have earned commissions as Ensigns in the Navy or 2nd Lieutenants in the
Marine Corps.
302. NROTC Unit Organization
a. Military Organization. The Commander of Naval Service Training Command (NSTC)
headquartered in Great Lakes, Illinois, administers the NROTC program and exercises military command
of the NROTC Unit, University of Virginia through NSTC OD co-located with NETC in Pensacola,

CHAPTER IV
MIDSHIPMEN BATTALION ACTIVITIES
401. Midshipman Activities
a. Unit Publications. The Battalion publishes a newsletter, Bearings, every semester. It provides a
means through which Midshipmen may present ideas and convey information concerning unit activities.
Individual portraits of the commissioning class are included as part of the spring issue of Bearings.
Midshipmen are encouraged to contribute articles or pictures to these publications.
b. Honor Guard. The Honor Guard, comprised of the Drill Teams, Drum and Bugle Corps and the
Color Guard, is a performing unit that represents the NROTC Unit at various external events. These
events include parades such as Mardi Gras, the Neptune Festival, and the Dogwood Festival, as well as
various local ceremonies. Participation is voluntary and experience is not necessary. The high visibility
of the Honor Guard requires that members meet strict standards of military aptitude and academic
performance.
c. Pistol Team. The NROTC Unit sponsors a pistol team to compete in Military Excellence
Competitions and to represent the NROTC in other match competitions. All Pistol Team participants are
full-fledged members of the University of Virginia’s Rifle and Pistol Club (UVRPC). All instruction and
practices for Midshipmen are conducted under UVRPC auspices. All Midshipmen are eligible to
participate and to compete for positions on the competition teams. No experience is required. Interested
Midshipmen should contact the Pistol Team Captain or the AMOI.
d. Marine Option Training. The Marine Training Program is led by the Marine Option Platoon
Commander. The focus of this group is preparing Marine Option Midshipmen for Officer Candidates
School (6-Week Course) and The Basic School (TBS). The Marine Options conduct physical
conditioning three mornings a week as well as additional classes and field exercises. Navy Option
Midshipmen interested in a change of option are welcome to attend all events with the approval of the
MOI.
e. Social Functions. A wide variety of Midshipman social functions are held throughout the year.
They include an Army-Navy football game, a First Class Dining-In/ Cocktail Party, the Navy Birthday
Celebration, and the Marine Corps Birthday Ball.
f. ROTC Military Competitions. Throughout the academic year, all three University ROTC Units
compete in Military Competitions. Events include a Pistol competition, drill competition, swim meet,
athletic triathlon, and a joint barbecue following the triathlon.
g. Trident Society. The Trident Society is an honorary organization for the purpose of promoting
naval interests and knowledge and creating a closer bond among the members of the NROTC Unit.
Trident Society sponsors various activities including volunteer service projects.
h. Semper Fidelis Society. The Semper Fidelis Society is a student organization designed to promote
and foster active discussions on such topics as professionalism, leadership, and ethics. All Marine Option
Midshipmen are members of the Semper Fidelis Society. Navy Option Midshipmen and PLC Candidates
are encouraged to participate in any events with the approval of the MOI.
IV-1
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
i. Surface Warfare Society. The primary mission of the SWO Society is to gather Midshipmen who
have a common interest in serving as Surface Warfare Officers. With the guidance of the Unit’s Surface
Warfare Advisor, Midshipmen gather periodically to discuss the surface community, the junior officer
career path, US Navy policies, current events and how they relate to the Surface Fleet, as well as general
leadership and professional military education topics. The Society also gathers periodically for social
activities.
j. Fees. Midshipmen pay an activity fee of approximately $50.00 each semester to support Battalion
activities. This fee changes in accordance with the number of events and activities that the Battalion
plans.
402. Sail Training
a. General. Midshipmen are required to complete sailing qualifications to reinforce the rules and
courtesies of good seamanship and to ensure all future Naval officers have experience handling
watercraft. The Staff Sail Team Officer and the Sail Team Captain oversee the instruction and training
required to teach these skills.
b. Testing. Sail qualification consists of a written test and a practical evaluation. The opportunity to
qualify will be during O-week for the incoming fourth-class and for upper-class midshipmen who need
the opportunity.
c. Sailing Standards. Midshipmen must hold a “Mate A” sail qualification to be commissioned.
(1) Mate A Qualification. Mate A sailors must pass a written exam on general sailing knowledge
and demonstrate basic on-the-water sailing techniques. The written exam consists of twenty general
multiple choice questions on sailing safety, techniques, terminology, and mechanics; a diagram of a sail
boat with blanks to label the parts of the boat; and ten diagrams of ship to ship encounters used to test
right-of-way rules. A Midshipman must get eighty percent correct on each of the first two sections and
one hundred percent correct on the right of way section to pass the test. The Sail Team Captain will
administer the test after extensive instruction, and test-takers will be allowed thirty minutes to complete
the test. On the water training will be conducted by the University Sail Team. Each Midshipman will rig
the sailboat under supervision and then demonstrate basic sail maneuvering, control of the main sheet and
tiller, basic voice commands, knowledge of right of way rules, and the correct procedure for a capsize.
Mate A qualification is incorporated into Orientation Week training.
403. Physical Conditioning/ Athletics
a. General. The Navy and Marine Corps emphasize physical fitness as a requirement for effective
naval officers. As future leaders, Midshipmen are expected to strive to exceed the Navy or Marine Corps
minimum fitness standards. Competing in intramural leagues at the University or within the Battalion is
encouraged.
b. Physical Conditioning. Every Midshipman is required to pass the Navy physical readiness test
(PRT) or Marine Corps physical fitness test (PFT) each semester. Midshipmen who fail will be placed on
probation, will participate in a physical fitness remedial program, and have a notation made in their
aptitude evaluation. Students who fail to pass the PRT/PFT, third class swim, or meet height/weight
requirements three times are subject to a PRB for disenrollment. See Chapter 6 for further guidance and
standards of physical fitness.
IV-2
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
c. Athletics/ Intramurals. The Battalion Staff and Commanders will encourage Midshipmen to field
intramural teams that compete throughout the University and will entertain requests for funds to pay
entry/registration fees for such teams. Direct such requests to the BNCO through the Chain of Command.
The BNCO may also direct internal Unit competitions if desired.
404. Operation Orders (OPORDS)
a. The Battalion’s activities and evolutions are carried out through Operation Orders, a goal-oriented
process designed to empower the platoons in the Battalion. At the start of each semester, the BNCO will
assign an Operation Order to each platoon. The Battalion Staff and Company Commanders review the
Operation Orders each semester for applicability and may revise assignments with the approval of the
Marine Officer Instructor. The following are the typical Operation Orders for the Fall and Spring
semesters:
FALL
Navy Birthday/ Drill Competition
Field Exercise/ Service Project
Veteran’s Day 5k Race/ Family Weekend
Marine Corps Birthday Ball/ Recruiting

Notes
1. Company Commanders may stipulate attendance at these activities when scheduled on a nonregular/periodic basis in support of essential operational and training requirements. The Marine Officer
Instructor shall be consulted.
2. Platoon Commanders may schedule drill practice as approved by Company Commanders. Company
Commanders will use note 1 as a guideline for approval.
3. The Unit Commanding Officer will approve all non-University requests for Color Guard services.
4. Requalification is required annually until first class swimmer qualification is achieved. First class
swimmer qualification exempts Midshipmen from further testing and should be the goal for all.
5. Mandatory for Marine Option Midshipmen.
6. Attendance at a Unit sponsored CPR class may be mandatory for Orientation Week supervisory
personnel. If scheduled, this class will be Unit funded.

CHAPTER V
MIDSHIPMEN ACADEMICS
501. General
Navy College Program and Scholarship students are encouraged to pursue majors in engineering and the
physical sciences. Beginning with the graduating class of 2013, Navy Option Midshipmen on scholarship
will select their majors prior to matriculation as part of the NROTC Scholarship application process.
Declared majors are classified into Academic Tiers 1, 2, and 3. LREC (Language Skills, Regional
Expertise and Cultural Awareness) approved academic majors are also subject to specific guidelines.
(See sections 512 and 513 for specific Academic Tier guidance and LREC approved majors.) The
Year Group Advisors are available to guide Midshipmen in selecting both academic majors and electives.
While a background in science and mathematics is important for a Naval Officer, the officer must also be
proficient in written and oral skills. A detailed list of required courses for all Midshipmen can be found in
paragraph 503.
502. Academic Majors
Responsibility for selecting and applying for a major rests with the Midshipman and must be completed
prior to the commencement of the third year for all Midshipmen graduating in 2012 or earlier. Since the
choice of major, as well as a change in major, may affect a Midshipman's graduation date and status in the
program, Midshipmen deciding on a major or contemplating a change in major must consult with their
Year Group Advisor. While all University students consult with a University advisor for help in
determining a major program, Midshipmen should also feel free to seek additional assistance from
members of the Unit Staff.
503. Curriculum Requirements
a. Midshipmen are required to take the Naval Science courses appropriate for their year group. Note
that not all credits for Naval Science courses may be applicable for graduation credit requirements. The
University normally allows 12 credits of Naval Science to be applied towards graduation. Check with
your academic advisor.
b. Midshipmen must take the Naval Science Leadership Laboratory (NASC 4000) during every
semester they are enrolled in the Program. Eight semesters of Leadership Laboratory are required to
successfully complete the Four Year NROTC Program. Leadership Lab is scheduled on Tuesday and
Thursday mornings from 0700-0915 in order to minimize conflict with required academic courses and to
maximize attendance (backup time for guest speakers is Friday from 1500-1700).
c. Detailed Course Requirements

If a Midshipman wishes to count a course not listed above to fulfill this requirement, the Midshipman will
submit a chit to the Commanding Officer, via the Midshipman’s YGA and the Unit Executive Officer.
(5) All NROTC required classes must be taken on a letter-grade basis, not pass/fail.
d. Advanced/Transfer Credit. Calculus and physics courses completed somewhere other than UVA
must be credited on transcripts by the University for the Navy-specified course before they are used to
satisfy the Navy Scholarship program requirement. For example, if a Midshipman takes Calculus at
Norfolk State, UVA must accept the credit and give credit for MATH 1210 on the official transcript.
Midshipmen must provide the transcript and registrars acceptance for any required courses taken away
from Grounds to their Year Group Advisor. Students who have taken a calculus or calculus based
physics course for college credit in high school, which the University has validated, must complete one
additional 3-semester hour course at the University level. Students are strongly encouraged to complete
the University courses to improve foundations in these subjects even if they have validated the courses
from high school. Advanced placement credit in history does not validate the National Security
Policy/American Military History requirement.
504. Academic Workload and Dropping Courses
It is the student's responsibility to take appropriate and sufficient courses each semester to make
satisfactory progress toward graduation. Except in unusual circumstances, students will be expected to
enroll in at least 15 credit hours per semester toward degree coursework. Midshipmen must consult with
their Year Group Advisor prior to dropping any courses during the semester. This stipulation is not
meant to prevent students from dropping courses for which they are academically unsuited. It is intended
to ensure the student informs the Unit and consults with his NROTC instructor before dropping a course.
Students who drop below 12 hours (full time status) without the approval of the Professor of Naval
Science may be placed on Leave of Absence.
505. Attendance Policy
a. University Classes. Class attendance is of paramount importance to a student's academic welfare,
since major determinants of the final grade for many University courses are attendance and participation.
Class attendance is also a measure of aptitude for commissioned service: by faithfully executing one’s
obligations as a student, one demonstrates such aptitude through self-discipline. A Midshipman who
receives poor grades because of unauthorized absences in his/ her University classes is not fulfilling his/
her obligations to the Naval Service or to the University. Midshipmen are expected to attend all classes.
STA-21 and MECEP students are required to attend all class sessions.
b. Naval Science Courses. Midshipmen absent from Naval Science courses without authorization by
the course instructor more than twice in any semester will be placed on report by the course instructor and
will be required to appear before the Executive Officer.
V-5
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
c. Naval Science Leadership Laboratory
(1) Absence from any Naval Science Leadership Laboratory session or Battalion training event
without prior authorization is a disciplinary offense.
(2) Authorization for absence must be obtained in advance from the Marine Officer Instructor via
the Midshipman’s chain of command.
(3) Excusable absences include:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Illness of the Midshipman
Death in the family
Critical illness in the family when the family requests the Midshipman's presence
Mandatory participation in a University-sponsored activity
(4) If a conflict between a particular semester’s Leadership Lab and a mandatory course needed for
graduation occurs, it shall be the responsibility of the Midshipman to:
(a) Anticipate the conflict as far in advance as possible in accordance with his/her degree plan.
(b) Seek a resolution with the professor and/or department to work around the conflict.
Attempt to find another class that will fulfill the requirement.
(c) Notify his/her Year Group Advisor of the conflict in writing if a resolution cannot be found.
This notification will be completed as soon as possible and no later than 3 days prior to the start of classes.
506. Classroom Conduct
Midshipmen are expected to conduct themselves as Naval Officers in the classroom. Specific procedures
for classroom conduct are contained in section 601. The Naval Science Instructors will promulgate
additional requirements, such as presentations and papers, in the course syllabus provided during the first
class meeting of the semester.
507. Grades
a. Good Academic Performance is Mandatory. Midshipmen are expected to work to their full
academic potential and strive to exceed the overall Semester Grade Point Average mean in their College
and Year Group. In general, all Midshipmen are strongly encouraged to maintain a 3.0 GPA at minimum.
Academic excellence is important for several reasons:
(1) The engineering and weapons systems on current and future ships and aircraft are complex and
will require the best educated and trained officers to employ them.
(2) Grades are the major determining factor for the first duty assignment for newly commissioned
Naval Officers. An outstanding academic record will enable an officer to qualify for the best and most
challenging assignments throughout a career. This includes not only warfare assignments but
postgraduate education and service college assignments as well. For future Naval Officers, relative
seniority in a rank, represented by an individual's lineal number, is determined by a formula in which
University course grades count 60 percent, and Naval Science grades and military aptitude marks count
20 percent each.

NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
b. Grading System. The University of Virginia grades on a 4.0 scale. This same scale is used for
Naval Science courses. At the first class meeting, each instructor will announce his grading methodology
such as number of examinations and relative weight of various work assignments.
c. Non-Credit Naval Science Courses. Naval Science courses that do not receive University credit
(NASC 100) are still assigned numerical grades (4.0 scale) that are reported to NSTC for lineal standing
computations.
508. Academic Warning, Probation and Leave of Absence (LOA)
a. Academic Warning. Midshipmen earning a semester GPA below 2.50 but above 2.00 shall receive
special counseling and will be placed on Academic Warning.
b. Academic Probation. Midshipmen receiving an "F" or "incomplete" in any required course or a
semester GPA below 2.00 will be placed on Academic Probation and may be required to appear before a
Performance Review Board (PRB).
c. Leave of Absence. Midshipmen with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 after their first year will appear
before a Performance Review Board and may be placed on Leave of Absence. Scholarship Midshipmen
placed on Leave of Absence lose scholarship benefits for one semester with the possibility of
disenrollment from the NROTC program if academic performance does not improve after one semester.
A repeat failure in calculus or physics, two consecutive semester GPAs below 2.0, enrolling in fewer than
12 semester hours without PNS approval, not meeting calculus/physics within time requirements, or
failing to correct academic probation stipulations can also result in a Midshipman being placed in LOA
status or disenrolled.
509. Formal Study Program
a. To support Midshipmen in the formal study program, the Maury Hall Wardroom shall have “quiet
hours” for study from 1800-2200 on Monday through Thursday and 1200-2200 on Sundays. Maury B-14
is also usually available for use. Additionally, Midshipmen are encouraged to use the Battalion
computers in room B-10 for coursework as well.
b. Midshipmen placed on Academic Warning, Academic Probation or Leave of Absence shall be
required to study at least 15 hours/week. These Midshipmen shall document their efforts using a notebook
or computer-based organizer to record when and where they studied. Midshipmen will produce this log
and discuss their progress during weekly counseling sessions with their Year Group Advisor.
c. A calculus and physics tutor will be available in the Wardroom several times each week. All
Midshipmen are encouraged to use this extra instruction and help. Any Midshipman who did not get an
“B” in calculus or physics in the previous semester should attend all tutoring sessions. Year Group
Advisors may also direct attendance as necessary.
d. The last Midshipman to leave each classroom and the Wardroom is responsible for ensuring that
windows have been shut and lights turned off. Midshipmen desiring escort to their dorms or apartments
should contact the Student Escort Service at 242-1122.

510. Graduate Study
Various programs are offered to both the Scholarship and College Program Navy Midshipmen for
advanced education after graduation. Several such opportunities open to the superior student at the time
of graduation are listed below.
a. Junior Line Officer Advanced Educational Program (Burke Program). A limited number of highly
qualified and career-motivated NROTC graduates will be assigned to graduate school after establishing
their warfare specialties during their initial operational tour. The objective of this program is to educate a
small group of carefully selected officers through the doctoral level. Each PNS nominates one
Midshipman, and NSTC selects a total of 15 from the across the country.
b. Leave of Absence to Pursue Graduate Studies. A total of 40 Midshipmen nationwide may take a
LOA for up to 18 months to pursue a graduate degree. Midshipmen shall submit a letter request to NSTC
with a recommendation by the PNS.
c. Other Graduate Opportunities through the Navy. There are many other opportunities for graduate
study throughout one’s career in the Navy. A current listing of these opportunities can be found at:
http://www.npc.navy.mil/Officer/Education_Placement/ Most of these programs are available to
Navy Officers following their first successful fleet tour. The 4th Year Group Advisor can provide further
information regarding these programs.
511. Summer Session Funding
Summer sessions normally are not considered part of the academic year and do not fall under NROTC
scholarship benefits. Funding for tuition and fees for summer sessions courses may be paid within
authorized benefit entitlement for courses that:
a. Are an integral part of the major field of study required for the baccalaureate degree, but are not
offered during the academic year. In this situation, the course must be required, not an elective, and only
offered during the summer.
b. Will advance the normal commissioning date and will not preclude meeting naval science and cruise
requirements.
c. Are required to be repeated because of injury or illness, which prevented completion of the
scheduled course during the academic year, providing such absence was approved by the school officials
and the PNS. Retaking a course due to academic failure does not qualify.
d. Are part of an accelerated program if the institution requires attendance at one or more summer
sessions.
If summer session courses fall within these guidelines, Midshipmen must submit a special request chit
with supporting documentation to the Commanding Officer, via their Year Group Advisor and the
Executive Officer, for funding.

CHAPTER VI
CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE
601. Standards of Conduct
a. Purpose. In taking their commission, Naval Officers are given special trust and confidence from
the President of the United States and are held to the highest standards of conduct. These standards
derive from both custom and legislation. They are necessary to promote harmony and good order during
peacetime and to ensure victory in war. Adherence to naval customs involves development of the virtues
of honor, courage and commitment. Development of these virtues is a lifetime process, and Midshipmen
at this NROTC Unit will be expected to adhere to them.
b. Some of the customs of the Naval Service that promote military virtues are as follows:
(1) Saluting. The salute is a long established form of greeting and recognition exchanged between
members of the military profession. Midshipmen in uniform shall salute officers of all branches of the
Armed Forces, whether or not the senior is in uniform, and shall salute Midshipmen and cadet officers
senior to them when that senior is in uniform. Salute only when covered. This does not mean that
courtesy stops when uncovered. A time of day greeting is always in order regardless of cover. It is
customary to exchange a greeting with the salute such as "Good morning, Sir", "Good afternoon, Ma'am",
or "Good evening, LT___", if the person is recognized. If two or more officers in a group are met, make
your greeting to the senior officer. If there are two or more officers of the senior rank and of the same
sex, address them as "gentlemen" or "ladies."
(2) Addressing Officers. Midshipmen will stand at attention when addressing or being addressed
by an officer. Officers of all military services are addressed by their rank with the following exceptions.
Officers of the Medical and Dental Corps may be addressed as "Doctor." Officers of the Chaplain Corps
may be addressed as "Chaplain." When addressing an officer whose rank includes a modifier, the
modifier may be dropped, e.g., Lieutenants (junior grade) may be addressed as “Lieutenant”. The use of
“Mister” to address an officer is only used to address junior officers, Lieutenant Commander and below.
(3) Courtesy and Deference to Military Seniors. In the Naval establishment courtesy and deference
to military seniors are strictly observed in all circumstances. For example, juniors give way to seniors;
juniors walk to the left and slightly to the rear of seniors when in company; juniors do not interrupt
seniors except in emergencies. All orders received by Midshipmen from Unit Staff or Midshipman
officers shall be considered official and executed accordingly. Expressed wishes or desires of a military
senior, by tradition, are tantamount to an order to a junior.
(4) Entering an Officer's Office. When a Midshipman wishes to enter an Officer's office, the
following procedure will be observed:
(a) Knock before you enter. If the officer is occupied, do not interrupt.
(b) When recognized, enter and sound off, "Midshipman ____ Class, _____(last name),
Sir/Ma’am."
VI-1
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
(c) State your business.
(d) Remain at attention until directed otherwise.
(e) When dismissed, about face and march out.
(5) Classroom Procedure. Military courtesy extends to the Naval Science classroom. When the
instructor enters the classroom, the section leader will call the class to attention. Midshipmen will remain
standing until the instructor gives the order to be seated. Midshipmen who are late for class will quietly
take the nearest vacant seat, and will explain their tardiness to the instructor immediately after class.
(6) Smoking. Midshipmen will not smoke while in uniform our under any circumstance
prohibited by the State of Virginia or University.
(7) Conversing with Officers. The words "Sir" and "Ma'am" are military expressions that shall
always be used in connection with "Yes" and "No" and in all conversations with officers. When replying
to an officer in acknowledging an order, the term "Aye, Aye, Ma'am/Sir " is used. This signifies that the
order is understood and will be obeyed. "Yeah," "Yep," "Nope," and "OK" are not used. The most
important characteristic to develop is complete honesty. Evasive answers or half truths cannot be
tolerated in the Naval profession. "I don't know but I'll find out," is an answer that you will learn to
appreciate.
(8) Standards of Etiquette. While etiquette is not a matter of Navy Regulations, officers are judged
not only by their professional abilities, but also by their manners in social and official life. An officer is
expected to exercise tact and to possess social poise. Midshipmen should avail themselves of every
opportunity to learn, through reading and observation, those aspects of gentlemanly or ladylike conduct
that will be expected of them as officers. These include procedures at social gatherings and official
functions. Accordingly, certain social events are conducted during the year that should be considered
mandatory. In all social contact, Midshipmen shall conduct themselves in keeping with good judgment
and common sense.
(9) Fraternization. Fraternization consists of improper personal and business relationships among
Midshipmen of different ranks or positions, and will not be tolerated. Fraternization rules impose
constraints on the activities of Midshipmen in order to maintain good order and discipline, promote
relationships of mutual respect and confidence, prevent the perception of impartiality, and preserve the
integrity of the chain of command. Improper relationships include dating or engaging in sexual activities.
The following rules apply:
(a) No upper class Midshipmen (1/c, 2/c or 3/c) will fraternize with 4/c Midshipmen.
(b) No Midshipman will fraternize with another Midshipman in his chain of command.
(c) All Midshipmen are expected to immediately report all fraternization violations.
(10) Standards of Dress. Midshipmen shall maintain high standards of personal appearance both
while in uniform and in civilian attire. Midshipmen must remember that they are representing the United
States Navy and Marine Corps, in uniform and out, when dealing with professors and administrators,
VI-2
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
local merchants and townspeople, civilian classmates, and members of the Battalion. The following
direction is provided:
(a) Civilian attire that is torn or ragged in appearance will not be worn. Flip-flops that are
designed for regular use may be worn. Shower shoes will not be worn as civilian attire at any time.
(b) Collared shirts are mandatory in Maury Hall from Monday to Friday, between 0800 and
1600, or during evening classes.
(c) Naval grooming standards will be adhered to both in and out of uniform. Refer to Chapter
9 for a complete listing of regulations regarding uniforms, civilian attire, and grooming standards.
(11) Use of Alcohol. Midshipmen will comply with local laws and military directives governing
the consumption of alcohol. The legal drinking age in Virginia is 21.
602.
Physical Performance
a. Physical Standards. As a measure of individual physical fitness, Midshipmen shall be required to
pass the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) each semester. Midshipman will strive to attain at least a “GoodLow” or higher on all PRT events. Those below this standard will be assigned to the Unit’s remedial PT
program.
(1) PRT Events. The PRT consists of sit-ups, push-ups and a 1.5 mile run. If a midshipman is
physically unable to complete the run, a 500-yard swim may be substituted with the approval of the
Executive Officer. Members who are medically waived will be scored pass/fail for the portions of the test
taken.
(2) PRT Performance Standards
(a) Failure to meet “probationary” Navy standards in any event constitutes failure of the entire
PRT. Midshipmen who fail the final PRT of any semester will be placed on probation.
(b) All Midshipmen must achieve a “Good-Low” or better to meet NROTC UVA PRT
standards. Any Midshipman below this standard will be placed on the remedial PT
program.
(3) Outstanding PRT Performance. Midshipmen who demonstrate exceptional performance on the
PRT will be recognized at award ceremonies. Comments will be made in the narrative section of the
Midshipman performance evaluations each semester.
b. Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test/Combat Fitness Test (PFT/CFT) Standards. Marine Option
Midshipmen are required to take the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test every semester. Due to the
rigorous physical demands of OCS and the Basic School, Marine Option Midshipman should strive to
attain a 285 or higher on the Marine PFT and CFT.
(1) Physical Fitness Test Events. Events include: sit-ups, pull-ups (male), flexed arm hang
(female) and a 3-mile run. Failure to meet minimum requirements in any event constitutes a failure of the
VI-3
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
entire PFT regardless of the total number of points earned. Marine Option Midshipmen who score below
first class (225) after their first year will be placed on probation.
(2) Combat Fitness Test Events. The CFT consists of three events: 880 Yard Run. MO
Midshipmen will run 880 yards while wearing boots and camouflage uniform (Trousers and t-shirt).
Ammo Can Lifts. MO Midshipmen will lift a 30 pound ammo can from the ground, over their heads as
many times as they can in two minutes. Maneuver Under Fire. MO Midshipmen must move through
a 300 yard course, and perform designated tasks, in the time limit authorized. The tasks include: Moving
in a quick scurry for 10 yards, then high crawl for another 15 yards. Drag a casualty for 10 yards, while
zigzagging through several cones. Then lift the casualty and carry him/her at a run for 65 yards. Carry
two 30-pound ammo cans for 75 yards, while zigzagging through a series of cones. Toss a dummy
grenade 22 ½ yards and land it in a marked target circle. Perform three push-ups, pick up the two 30pound cans and sprint to the finish line. Failure to meet minimum requirements in any event constitutes
a failure of the entire CFT regardless of the total number of points earned. Marine Option Midshipmen
who score below first class after their first year will be placed on probation.
(3) Outstanding PFT Performance. Marine Option Midshipmen who score 290 or above will be
recognized at awards ceremonies.
Standards and scoring for the Navy PRT and Marine PFT are listed on the following pages.

603. Guidance and Counseling
a. Midshipmen are encouraged to seek advice and counsel from the members of the NROTC Staff.
For guidance on matters pertaining to Naval Science classes, the student should consult with his Naval
Science Instructor. For matters of military nature, he should consult with his Year Group Advisor, a
Midshipman superior within the Midshipmen Battalion chain of command, or the Marine Officer
Instructor.
b. To discuss academic matters, questions of outside employment, financial problems, or other
personal items the student should seek help from his Year Group Advisor. Members of the staff do not
maintain restricted office hours and are always available to counsel students. A Midshipman should not
be afraid to seek advice from any Naval Science instructor on any matter.
VI-11
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
c. Midshipman Counseling Program.
(1) All Midshipmen will be counseled by Battalion chain of command throughout the semester.
(2) Company CPOs will maintain counseling records and peer evaluations in the Battalion office.
(3) Occasions for counseling: those in bold are mandatory
(a) Initial: Introductory standards explained, OPORD assigned and overall expectations
(academics, physical fitness, etc.) of the Midshipmen will be discussed. Goals will be
set in each of these areas.
(b) Twice-Monthly: Counseling by squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company
commanders
(c) Mid-term: Progress towards introductory goals will be discussed.
(d) Final: Final evaluation signed by the Midshipman being evaluated and by his Primary
Midshipman Evaluator.
(e) Specific Performance: may be used if the Midshipman has done anything of note (good
or bad) that merits attention and counseling.
(f) Peer Evaluations: Will be done once a semester by all Midshipman. Midshipmen will
complete a peer evaluation for each member of his or her squad and chain of command
as specified by the battalion leadership.
(4) Midshipmen will also be counseled a minimum of two times by their YGA during the
semester.
604. Aptitude Evaluation
a. Introduction. The NROTC military performance system is designed to determine a Midshipman's
suitability for commissioned Naval Service. Scholarship and College Program students are evaluated
throughout their education. Report forms are used on a program-wide basis, and performance marks are
based upon evaluation by the Midshipman chain of command and Unit Staff. Aptitude evaluations are
used for the following:
(1) To provide assessment of individual aptitude of NROTC students with respect to Naval Officer
standards.
(2) To identify NROTC students who possess exceptional qualities and potential.
(3) To identify NROTC students who have demonstrated weaknesses in officer-like qualities and
potential, thus providing a sound basis for counseling and remedial efforts.
(4) To give each Midshipman experience in observing and evaluating subordinates in a military
environment using a format similar to the enlisted evaluation.
(5) To provide data that will be used to assist in the computation of lineal standing of NROTC
graduates.
VI-12
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
b. Aptitude Evaluation Periods. An aptitude evaluation is conducted at the completion of each
semester for which the student is actively enrolled in the NROTC Program and may be done for periods
of summer training. These evaluations are used to determine a Midshipman's final aptitude average that
becomes an important component of his or her final class standing. Recognizing the importance of
performance feedback, abbreviated mid-term evaluations will be held to inform Midshipmen of their
performance.
c. Performance Assessment Areas. The Evaluation Report & Counseling Record, Tab A to this
chapter, indicates the areas in which a Midshipman's aptitude is assessed.
d. Procedure
(1) The evaluator will fill out the report using the block-by-block instructions listed in paragraph
604.e. below. Table 6-1 lists specific primary and secondary evaluators. The primary evaluator fills out
the Evaluation Report first and forwards it to the secondary evaluator (reporting senior) for his/her review
and comments. Evaluators will ensure that they print and sign their name beneath their comments.
(2) The Battalion Commanding Officer shall conduct a final review of all Evaluation Reports to
ensure completeness and consistency and then will forward them to the MOI. Evaluation Reports are due
to YGAs no later than the next to last drill (lab) day of the semester or as otherwise noted in the semester
schedule. Evaluators will conduct counseling for each Midshipman before the last drill day.
(3) The Year Group Advisor shall complete block 25 (performance comments) when the University
makes semester grade point averages available. The completed reports with the computed final aptitude
grade will be forwarded to the Commanding Officer for final review and signature.
e. Block-by-Block Instructions. Note that in blocks with groups of three entry boxes, the left box is to
be used for the first evaluator in the chain of command, the middle box by the second evaluator, and the
right box for the Year Group Advisor.
Blocks 1-7:
Block 10:
Block 11
Blocks 12-14
Blocks 15-21:
Self-explanatory.
Enter billet(s) held, collateral duties (e.g., HRC rep), any watch qualification, any
operation orders assigned.
Enter all honors/awards received from the University or Battalion during the
reporting period.
Mid-term Counseling- Enter the date mid-term counseling took place in block
12, the individual conducting the counseling in block 13, and the individual who
was counseled should sign in block 14.
Performance Traits - General Instructions - For each trait, mark an “x” in the
appropriate category. The primary grader will put his/her "x" in the first box, the
secondary grader places his/her "x" in the middle box, and the Unit Officer/Advisor
places an "x" in the last box. The performance trait averages for most Midshipmen
lie in the 2.5 to 3.5 range. A mark of 3.0 means that a Midshipman is meeting the
standards. It is not a connotation of substandard performance in any way.
Midshipmen who are above or greatly exceed standards in certain performance
traits should be noted. Likewise, below standard performance or unsatisfactory
performance should be marked as necessary.

Billet Recommendation - Enter one or two billet recommendations. The second
recommendation is not required. If no recommendation is appropriate, mark N/A
or None.
Comments - Enter appropriate comments to support the marks in the
performance report. Type your name at the bottom of your comments.
Comments should include specifics regarding any individual strengths and
weaknesses, awards received, special achievements accomplished during the
semester, or any mast cases. Specific comments may be done in "bullet" fashion
(partial sentences and phrases are permitted). Terms such as "none" should be
avoided. Sign and date over your typed name and billet.
Midshipmen ranking - The Officer/Advisor will place an "x" in the box that
correctly reflects the Midshipman's ranking. Top tier, second tier, and middle
tier are positive ranking recommendations. Fourth tier means the Midshipman is
making progress but is not ready to be ranked higher. Bottom tier means the
Midshipman has serious shortcomings that must be justified in the comments
section. A top limit of 20% of each class (rounded to nearest whole number)
may be "top tier". A top limit of 40% of each class may be top tier and second
tier.
Signature of Commanding Officer. Date must be actual signature date of the
report.
Signature of Midshipman evaluated - This certifies the Midshipman has
reviewed the report. If a statement is desired, the block should be checked and a
statement attached to the report.
f. Mid-term Counseling Instructions.
(1) The Evaluation Report & Counseling Record (Tab A) will be used for mid-term counseling of
Midshipmen by the end of the sixth week of each semester. Counseling should be a frank and open
discussion of individual performance.
(2) The primary grader personally counsels each Midshipman that he/she will evaluate using
Table 6-1 as a guide. The Evaluation Report & Counseling Record contains blocks used for mid-term
counseling. The primary grader marks an "x" in the mid-term block under each performance trait and
ensures blocks 12-14 are completed to document the counseling. The comments section (block 23) will
also be filled out mid-term to cite individual strengths and weaknesses in “bullet” format; evaluators
should avoid using “none.”
(3) Mid-term Counseling Records are working papers kept by the primary grader. At the end of the
semester when writing the final evaluation, the grader will transcribe blocks 12 and 13 from the
counseling record to the new Evaluation Report and have the evaluated Midshipman sign blocks 14 and
28. Mid-term grades are not transcribed to the Evaluation Report.
(4) The Battalion Commanding Officer is responsible for ensuring his/her chain of command
performs and documents the mid-term counseling before the seventh week of each semester. The Year
Group Advisor shall also conduct a review.
VI-14
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
g. Aptitude Follow-up. The military performance system contains many areas of subjectivity.
Therefore, aptitude evaluations must be carefully analyzed, whether for purposes of praise or censure. It
is important that persons making aptitude evaluations be as objective as possible.
605. Performance Review Board
a. A Performance Review Board (PRB) may be convened to review a Midshipman's substandard
academic or aptitude record. The NROTC ROD (CNSTCINST 1533.2) governs the conduct of a PRB.
b. The PRB will consist of:
(1) Unit Executive Officer (Chairman-voting)
(2) YGAs/MOI (The Midshipman’s YGA is a non-voting member)
(3) The Midshipman Battalion Commander (non-voting member, aptitude and physical fitness
cases only)
(4) University Advisor (academic cases only- if available)
c. A PRB will be convened to review:
(1) Any academic deficiency such as a repeat failure in calculus or physics, < 2.0 cumulative
GPA, < 2.0 semester GPA for two consecutive semesters, failure to enroll in 12 or more
hours without PNS approval, not meeting calculus and physics requirements within time
requirements, or failure to correct academic probation measures.
(2) Any aptitude deficiency such as a final aptitude grade < 2.0 on the Midshipman evaluation or
egregious conduct displayed by a major offense or a series of minor offenses.
(3) Any physical deficiency, requiring a PRB for disenrollment, defined as three failures in a
four-year period to pass the PRT, third class swim, or meet height/weight requirements.
(4) Other performance deficiencies as determined by the Commanding Officer (PNS).
d. The Board will recommend one of the following actions to the PNS:
(1) No action
(2) Letter of Warning
(3) Letter of Probation
(4) Leave of Absence (LOA)
(5) Disenrollment from program
e. Personnel will be notified in writing of the decision of the Commanding Officer. If placed on LOA
or probation, the notification will state the cause, period, and terms of the probation or LOA. Failure to
meet these terms can result in disenrollment. If placed on LOA, the Midshipman will lose scholarship
benefits for the term of the LOA. Midshipmen on LOA will continue to take Naval Science courses and
participate in other NROTC activities, unless otherwise directed. Midshipmen on aptitude or physical
LOA must participate in Leadership Lab and required Naval Science classes.
VI-15
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
606. Summer Training Performance
a. At-Sea Training. An evaluation of a Midshipman’s performance during at-sea training may be
done at the discretion of the unit’s Commanding Officer. Such an evaluation will make use of reports and
comments made by appropriate personnel such as Division Officers, Leading Petty Officers, etc. The
evaluation will be reviewed and signed by the unit's Commanding Officer or by a designated subordinate
and forwarded to the NROTC Unit. Cruise aptitude grades are entered into NETC’s database and the
evaluation is placed in the Midshipman’s performance file.
b. CORTRAMID. Officers in Charge of CORTRAMID may prepare evaluations of Midshipmen.
Normally the Officer in Charge will only notify the NROTC Unit about a Midshipman whose
performance was clearly outstanding or substandard.
c. Marine Corps Training of Midshipmen (6-Week Course). Marine Corps Option NROTC students
are evaluated in the manner outlined in the NROTC Field Training Manual.
607. Special Request/ Authorization Chit
a. Purpose. Special Request/ Authorization Chits are used to request to be absent from a
Battalion event. These forms are sent up through the chain of command. Chit recommendations
must be made up the chain at least one week prior to events. If an event is announced with less
than one week notice, the chit must be sent up within 24 hours of word being passed on the
event. These forms can be obtained through the Unit website.
b. Procedure.
(1) The Special Request/ Authorization form is filled out by the Midshipman requesting
to miss an event and placed in the Chit Box.
(2) The Midshipman e-mails their Squad Leader to let the Squad Leader know that the
Chit has been placed in the Chit box
(3) Squad Leader recommends approval/ disapproval. The Squad Leader e-mails the
chain of command (excluding the Battalion Commander) informing them that the chit
has been placed in the Chit box.
(4) Platoon Commander recommends approval/ disapproval and signs chit.
(5) Company Commander recommends approval/ disapproval and signs chit.
(6) Battalion Commander recommends approval/ disapproval and signs chit.
(7) Battalion Commander brings recommendation to MOI and AMOI for final approval.
(8) Battalion Commander notifies the BNMC of approval/ disapproval.
(9) BNMC notifies the chain of command of approval/ disapproval.
c. Special Circumstances.
VI-16
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
(a) Emergency Chit. An emergency chit is sent up due to an emergency illness that
prevents a Midshipman from attending a drill period. The Midshipman must come to
the drill period and request to go to medical. Any Midshipman who is hospitalized
must contact their chain of command accordingly. Additionally, the YGA should be
informed of any serious illnesses.
(b) Medical Chit. A medical chit is a long-term request to miss Battalion events due to
injury. All medical chits must be sent up through the chain of command and the
YGA. Medical chits must have a doctor recommended time frame for exclusion from
events. Midshipmen who are not contagious must still come to all Battalion events
unless otherwise instructed.

CHAPTER VIII
DISCIPLINE
801. General
a. Midshipmen will conduct themselves as future officers throughout their stay at the University.
A Midshipman's obligation to serve in the Navy or Marine Corps encompasses his or her assigned duties
and every facet of private and public behavior. All conduct shall reflect the propriety and decorum that
characterizes Naval officers.
b. The nature of military organization requires that each individual be responsible and loyal to the
direction of the Commanding Officer. Additionally, there are individuals throughout the chain of
command who are given the authority to carry out the orders of the Commanding Officer.
c. Each Midshipman is required to carry out the official orders of senior Midshipman Officers and
Petty Officers when they are acting in their official capacity. Each Midshipman is also subordinate to the
Year Group Advisor in all matters pertaining to the Midshipman's obligation to the Naval Service.
d. The purpose of the discipline system in Naval ROTC is not to punish, but to correct deficiencies
in a Midshipman’s conduct. To this end, the means of correcting misconduct or deficiencies should not
deviate from the sole purpose of the improvement of the individual.
802. Offenses
a. Major Offenses. Major offenses are those that involve moral turpitude, a serious breach of
discipline, a hardened disregard or contempt for authority, an incorrigible lack of energy and purpose, a
culpable lack of responsibility, or bring discredit upon the Naval Service. Offenses of moral turpitude
include, but are not limited to, fraud, theft, assault, cheating, plagiarism, willful disobedience of a lawful
order, drug and alcohol abuse, and conduct unbecoming an officer. Midshipmen whose misconduct falls
in one of these areas will be seen by the Commanding Officer of the Unit for possible disenrollment.
Convictions under the UVA Honor System will result in automatic disenrollment from the NROTC
Program.
b. Minor Offenses. Minor offenses are of a less serious nature and generally involve infractions of
Midshipmen Battalion rules and regulations. These offenses are normally handled using Midshipmen
battalion counseling procedures. However, repeated minor offenses will result in a Midshipman's
appearance before a Battalion Mast, akin to Captain’s Mast in the Navy. If the Battalion Commander
feels it is necessary, he can recommend that the deficient Midshipman appear before a Unit Performance
Review Board (PRB). Examples of such infractions include, but are not limited to:
1) Unauthorized absence (UA) from Drill or other NROTC event
2) Tardiness to Drill or other NROTC event
3) Uniform appearance not within military regulations (i.e. haircuts, shaves, improper wear of
uniform)
4) Disrespectful behavior towards superiors and/or subordinates
VIII-1
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
5) Failure to carry out orders
803. Reporting Offenses
a. Absence Offenses. All Midshipmen absent from or tardy to Naval Science Leadership Laboratory,
or for other official mandatory events (parking lot duty, etc.) will be reported to the Battalion Master
Chief Petty Officer via the Company CPO. Those Midshipmen with unexcused absences will be placed
on report and referred to the appropriate Company Commander for action.
b. Offenses other than absence. Any minor offenses concerning a Midshipman will be reported to
that individual’s chain of command. Alleged major offenses will be referred directly to the Battalion
Commander who will inform the Unit’s Commanding Officer via the MOI.
804. Handling of Offenses
a. Commanders at the Company level will attempt to correct minor offenses using the counseling
procedures below. If the Company Commander feels the counseling is ineffective, he can refer it to the
Battalion Commander. The Battalion Commander may either rule on the case at Battalion Mast or
recommend Unit Staff involvement.
b. A Midshipman who feels that his Battalion Mast or Extra Military Instruction was unjust or unfair
may appeal in writing (within 72 hours) to the Unit Commanding Officer via the chain of command.
c. Offenses by MECEP or STA-21 students will not be handled by the Midshipman Battalion. Such
cases will immediately be forwarded to the Unit Staff.
805. Counseling
a. Counseling is often the first action taken to correct an individual’s actions. Counseling provides a
forum for the senior to discuss deficiencies in the junior’s actions and to recommend courses of action to
correct these deficiencies. A counseling session also provides the junior the opportunity to present
extenuating or mitigating circumstances to the senior.
b. Counseling will be done by the primary evaluator (see Chapter 6). The primary evaluator will
keep a copy of the Counseling Sheet, found at the end of this chapter, in the Midshipman’s record book.
The primary evaluator will also forward a copy of the Counseling Sheet to the secondary evaluator.
(1) Squad leaders will normally address any deficiencies with an informal, immediate and private
counseling session. This type of counseling serves to immediately correct an action and does not require
any paperwork. Particularly egregious infractions or continued infractions require written documentation.
(2) Platoon Commanders will conduct counselings of those infractions that warrant their attention.
They will use the Counseling Sheet to record the counseling session and any action taken. Should the
Midshipman require further corrective action, the Platoon Commander will forward the case to their
Company Commander.
(3) The Company Commander will keep a record of the all infractions within his company.
VIII-2
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
806. Extra Military Instruction (EMI)
a. Definition. Extra Military Instruction is a tool for handling minor infractions and is designed to
correct a shortcoming in a Midshipman's performance.
b. Purpose. EMI is intended to engage the individual in an activity that is corrective and meaningful
in order to correct a shortcoming and prevent a similar occurrence. At no time will EMI stray from this
intent. It will not be used in a manner that would constitute hazing, or in a fashion that would humiliate
the individual either in public or in private.
c. Administration.
(1) In accordance with this instruction only Company Commanders and the Battalion Commander
may award EMI. The MOI and AMOI will be consulted for all EMI assignments.
(2) Company-level EMI will be awarded only for minor offenses, such as failing an inspection,
lateness, unauthorized absence, or consistently performing basic duties in a substandard manner.
Battalion-level EMI will be awarded for more severe offenses, such as unauthorized absence from
battalion activities, insubordinate conduct, a pattern of substandard conduct, or those minor offenses
deemed appropriate by the Battalion Commander in accordance with the Battalion Mast procedures
outlined in paragraph 807.
(3) Company Commanders may award up to two hours of EMI. The Battalion Commander can
award up to five days of EMI for two hours per day.
(4) Any EMI awarded will be noted on a counseling sheet and recorded in the Battalion EMI
logbook. The Battalion MCPO will hold this logbook.
(5) EMI will not be awarded until the respective Commander has heard all facts surrounding the
case and has met personally with the Midshipman involved to hear any mitigating or extenuating
circumstances.
(6) EMI will be scheduled to conform to the affected Midshipman's class schedule and will not be
performed on Sundays or legal holidays.
(7) Examples of EMI include re-inspection, making up the activity missed, or giving presentations
related to the individual’s offenses or deficiencies. A member of the Company or Battalion staff will be
present at all EMI to supervise its conduct. At the conclusion of EMI, this Midshipman will submit a
report to the awarding Midshipman Commander outlining when the EMI was held and what was done.
807. Conduct of Battalion Mast
a. Battalion Mast. If company-counseling procedures prove ineffective in dealing with the
Midshipman, or the alleged offense committed is considered serious enough, Battalion Mast may be
conducted.
(1) The following personnel shall attend Battalion Mast:

(2) The Battalion MCPO will present the accused Midshipman, who responds with his name and
"Reporting as ordered, Sir/Ma’am."
(3) The Battalion Commander will read the charges against the accused Midshipman. The
Battalion Executive Officer will then present witnesses to support the charges. The accused Midshipman
will be given the opportunity to speak in his or her defense and to present witnesses.
(4) The Battalion MCPO will escort the accused Midshipman from the proceedings. The
Battalion Commander will then deliberate on an appropriate and just course of action. After
deliberations, the Battalion Commander may:
(a) Dismiss the charges.
(b) Award up to two hours of EMI per day for up to five days.
(c) Refer the case to the MOI for disposition by the Commanding Officer.
(5) The Battalion MCPO will escort the accused Midshipman back into the proceedings. The
Battalion Commander will render his or her decision and dismiss the accused Midshipman.
(6) The Battalion MCPO will carefully document the mast hearings in the Battalion Mast
logbook.
(7) The Battalion Commander will record the results of Battalion Mast on the Disciplinary
Report form found at the end of this chapter. This form will be forwarded to the YGA, Unit XO and CO
(via the MOI) within 24 hours after the conduct of the mast.
b. Unit Staff Role in the Conduct of the Mast. The Battalion Commander will coordinate with the
Marine Officer Instructor to have a unit staff member observe the mast. This staff member will use the
occasion to further the training of the Midshipmen involved. The staff member will not be the YGA of
the accused.
808. Minimum Actions

809. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)
During summer training, NROTC Midshipmen are on active duty and are therefore subject to the UCMJ.
Commanding Officers of training units may assign disciplinary measures appropriate to the offense and,
for serious offenses, may award punishment under the UCMJ. These Commanding Officers will report
such offenses to the Professor of Naval Science for review and appropriate action.
810. Indebtedness
Midshipmen shall not obligate any organization or group within the Unit or enter into any financial
transactions that could possibly result in indebtedness on the part of the Unit or any Navy sponsored
activity. Specific exceptions to this policy may be granted by the Unit Commanding Officer or Executive
Officer. Midshipmen shall conduct their private financial transactions in such a manner that does not
reflect discredit on them, the Unit, or the Naval Service.

MIDSHIPMAN UNIFORMS
901. General
a. Uniform wear. NROTC students are required to wear uniforms on Naval Science Leadership
Laboratory days and at other specified times. Service Dress Blue is the basic uniform and may be
prescribed year around. Working Khaki or Summer White may be prescribed in lieu of Service Dress
Blue. Navy Option Midshipmen are traditionally commissioned in Service Dress White uniforms. Marine
Option Midshipmen are commissioned in the Blue/White Dress Alpha uniforms.
b. Guidance. Uniforms worn by Midshipmen match, as closely as practicable, those worn by active
duty Naval Officers. Specific guidance on those uniforms can be found in United States Navy Uniform
Regulations, NAVPERS 15665 (series).
902. Uniform Issues
a. General. Upon entering the program, all Midshipmen are provided the necessary uniforms and
accessories. Allowances are given in Tabs A and B. The individual Midshipman is responsible for
ensuring that he or she has all of the required items and that they are in good condition. Worn or
outgrown items may be surveyed by taking them to the Unit Supply Officer for exchange. Uniform items
that are lost due to negligence must be replaced at the Midshipman’s personal expense.
b. Summer Training Uniforms. In addition to basic uniform clothing, certain summer training items
are also provided by the Navy. Each year the Chief of Naval Personnel establishes clothing requirements
for each of the various summer cruise programs. Uniforms for these cruises are normally issued in
March, April, and May. Midshipmen must wear the uniform insignia appropriate to the cruise to which
ordered. Battalion rank insignia and Unit ribbons or awards may not be worn during summer cruises,
away from Unit on orientation trips or on leave. Utilities issued for summer training must be returned to
the Unit Storekeeper at the beginning of the semester following cruise.
c. Name Tags. Each 4/C Midshipman will receive two nametags. Any additional nametags will be
provided at the expense of the Midshipman.
d. Items Not Issued. T-shirts and shirt stays are not issued and must be purchased by the individual
Midshipman. Additional items that must be provided at Midshipman expense are listed below.

903. Return of Uniforms
a. Upon disenrollment. All uniform items must be returned to the Unit Supply Officer clean and
ready for reissue. Missing items or items damaged as a result of misuse will be replaced in kind or by
cash restitution in the form of a money order or cashier’s check payable to the Treasurer of the United
States. Personal checks will not be accepted.
b. Upon Commissioning. All organizational uniform items must be turned in before commissioning.
Organizational items include: shoulder boards, collar insignia, gold chin strap, cap devices, camouflage
trousers, camouflage covers, camouflage coats, all sleeve insignia / patches, and all Battalion ribbons.
904. Alterations
The Unit will pay for alterations for uniforms that are issued by the Unit and must be done by the contract
tailor. Uniforms may be tailored to provide a well-fitting, professional military bearing. They will not be
tailored to the point of presenting a tight form fit, thereby rendering the uniform unserviceable. Improper
alterations done by a non-contract tailor will result in the Midshipman paying for the uniform.
Midshipmen must obtain an Alteration Request Form from the Unit Supply Officer before taking
uniforms to be altered.
905. Caring For and Wearing the Uniform
a. Image. Midshipmen must set and maintain the high standards of smartness in uniform appearance.
The military image reflected by attention to detail, while wearing your uniform, is a key element in the
public image of the Navy and Marine Corps.
b. Cleanliness. Midshipmen will launder and dry clean uniforms at their own expense. Uniforms will
be scrupulously clean and pressed at all times with devices and insignia bright and free from tarnish.
Black shoes and brass belt buckles must be clean and highly polished.
c. Uniform Wear:
(1) Trousers. Trousers are to be worn at a length to cover the upper part of the rear of the shoe by
approximately 1”.
(2) Military creases. Military creases are formed by pressing two vertical creases in the front of the
shirt, from the shoulder to seam through the center of each pocket to the bottom of the shirt, and three
evenly spaced vertical creases in the back of the shirt, from the yoke seam to the bottom of the shirt.
Sewn-in creases are not authorized.
(3) Specifics for Women.
(a) Earrings. One earring per ear (centered on earlobe) may be worn while in uniform. Earrings
shall be 4mm-6mm gold ball (approximately 1/8”- 1/4”), plain with shiny or brushed matte
finish, screw-on or with posts. Small single pearl earrings are authorized for wear with
Dinner and Formal Dress uniforms.
(4) Specifics for Men.

gym bags, lunch bags, suitcases, shall be hand carried with the following exceptions:
•
Backpacks/gym bags. May be worn as designed when riding a bicycle or
motorcycle. When a Midshipman is in service or dress uniform, bags will always be
hand carried. Navy option Midshipmen may wear the strap across the left shoulder,
with the bag hanging on the same side of the body in khakis. The case or bag will not be
worn with the strap and bag on the opposite sides of the body (diagonally). Backpacks
may also be worn over both shoulders when wearing the working uniform (e.g.,
coveralls, NWU, utilities, and camouflage). All bags worn with the uniform must
conceal its contents and be either solid black or navy in color. There shall be no personal
ornamentation attached on or to bag. Marine Option Midshipmen are authorized to
wear solid black backpacks in camouflage uniform only.
•
Women’s Navy handbags are worn over the left shoulder or forearm, placing
the top of the handbag at waist level with the strap attached and extended so that the

910. Grooming Standards for Midshipmen
IX-13
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1L
a. General. Grooming standards are based on neatness, cleanliness, safety, military image, and the
uniformed appearance of members of the Navy. The standards established herein are not intended to be
overly restrictive nor designed to isolate Navy men or women from society.
b. Men.
(1) Navy Option.
(a) Hair. Hair will be neat, clean and present a groomed appearance at all times. Hair above the
ears and around the neck will be tapered from the lower hairline upward to at least 3/4" and outward no
greater than 3/4" to blend with the hairstyle. Hair on the back of the neck may not touch the collar. Hair
will be no longer than 4” and groomed so that it does not touch the ears or the collar, extend below
eyebrows when headgear is removed, show under front edge of headgear, or interfere with proper wearing
of the headgear. Bulk of the hair shall not exceed 2”. Varying hairstyles, including Afro, are permitted
provided these styles meet the criteria of maximum length and bulk, tapered neck and sides, and do not
interfere with the proper wearing of military headgear. Hair coloring must look natural and complement
the individual. One (cut, clipped, or shaved) natural, narrow, fore and aft part is authorized.
(b) Sideburns. Sideburns shall be neatly trimmed and tapered in the same manner as the haircut.
Sideburns will not extend below a point level with the middle of the ear, will be of even width (not
flared), and will end with a clean- horizontal line.
(c) Beards and Moustaches. NROTC Midshipmen are not authorized to wear beards. If a
moustache is worn it shall be well groomed and neatly trimmed at all times in order not to present a
ragged appearance. The moustache will not go below a horizontal line extending across the corners of the
mouth and no more than 1/4" beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of the mouth.
(d) Fingernails. Fingernails shall not extend past fingertips. They shall be kept clean.
(2) Marine Corps Option. Marine Corps Option grooming standards are contained in Marine Corps
Order P1020.34.
(a) Hair. Maximum hair length is 3".
(b) Sideburns. Sideburns will not extend below the top of the ear orifice.
(c) Moustaches. Moustaches and beards are not permitted.
(d) Fingernails. Fingernails shall not extend past fingertips and shall be kept clean.
c. Women
(1) Hair
(a) Haircuts and styles shall present a balanced appearance. Lopsided and extremely
asymmetrical styles are not authorized. Ponytails, pigtails, widely spaced individual hanging locks, and
braids that protrude from the head, are not authorized. Spit curls or "ringlets" that fall below the bottom of
the ear are not permitted while in uniform.
IX-14
NROTCUVAINST 5000.1S
(b) Hair may touch, but may not fall below a horizontal line level with the back bottom edge of
the collar. Long hair will be neatly arranged so that it does not interfere with the wearing of the cover. A
maximum of two braids, neatly and inconspicuously fastened to the head, are permitted. Hair shall not
show under the front brim of the combination or garrison caps. No portion of the bulk of the hair as
measured from the scalp will exceed approximately 2”.
(c) Barrettes, rubber bands, and hairpins are permitted, but they must match the hair color as
closely as possible. They should not be extremely large or noticeable. A maximum of two barrettes may
be used when pinning up hair. Additional bobby pins or rubber bands matching hair color may be used to
hold hair in place, if necessary. Fabric elastics and colored rubber bands/pins are not authorized.
(d) Hairnets shall not be worn unless authorized for a specific type of duty.
(2) Cosmetics. Cosmetics may be applied in moderation and in good taste so that colors blend with
natural skin tone and enhance natural features. Care should be taken to avoid an artificial appearance.
Eye shadow, nail polish, and lipstick colors shall be conservative and complement the individual. Long
false eyelashes shall not be worn in uniform. See relevant NAVADMINs for specific guidance.
(3) Fingernails. Fingernails shall be kept clean and not extend beyond ¼” measured from the
fingertip.
911. Civilian Attire
a. The wearing of civilian attire, like the service uniform, implies a dedication to professionalism.
Naval personnel shall ensure that their dress and personal appearance are appropriate for the occasion and
will not discredit the Naval Services. The following restrictions apply at all times:
(1) Wearing or displaying clothing, jewelry, tattoos, etc. depicting marijuana or any other controlled
substance or advocating drug abuse is prohibited at all times.
(2) Wearing of any attire displaying profane, offensive, or subversive material, or messages that
imply affiliation with gang or subversive groups is prohibited.
b. When in Maury Hall, civilian attire will be clean and free of holes, rips, or stains. Trousers and
shorts will be free of holes, with no fraying at the seams. Shirts will be collared (Monday-Friday, 08001600, during NROTC events, or evening classes), and belts will be worn on all trousers or shorts.
Footwear will be in good taste and appropriate for the occasion. Pool slides, or footwear intended for
showering will not be worn unless medically prescribed. Clothing appropriate for physical training will
be worn in that setting only. Personnel are allowed to wear physical training attire either during the
activity or in transit to or from that activity.
