UH NROTC MIDN had the privilege to attend the Honolulu Navy League's 20th Annual American Patriot Awards Ceremony this Saturday. Honorees of the event were former Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead, and President of Hawaii Dredging, Gerry Majkut. Our MIDN had the opportunity to hear inspiring words from these great American Patriots, as well as from Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Paparo. Thank you to the Honolulu Navy League for the invitation!

Indeed, it's wonderful to learn that the soccer competition between the Midshipmen of the University of Hawaii and the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Academy on Sunday, September 10, was a resounding success. The interaction and dialogue between the ROK Midshipmen and the UH NROTC Midshipmen, allowing them to delve into each other's operational procedures and unit functions, undoubtedly adds substantial value to such events. Such cultural exchanges and cooperative endeavors play a pivotal role in fostering mutual understanding and camaraderie among military organizations from different nations.
Congratulations to the ROK Midshipmen for their impressive victory! Anticipation for next year's event is already building, and we eagerly await the exciting opportunities and experiences it will bring.

Incoming 4/C midshipmen of #uhnrotc participate in New Student Orientation (NSO). During their three-day NSO they received exposure to naval surface warfare on Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, paid tribute to the fallen of Dec 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks and concluded with Marine Corps inspired exercises to include a 3-mile hike, water survival training, Marine Corps MV-22 and C-130 tours, Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer and infantry fire and movement drills.
New Student Orientation is an introductory program designed for incoming students who are enrolled in the #koaokekai Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps program. The orientation is intended to help new students gain a clear understanding of expectations and the foundational steps toward becoming future naval leaders at University of Hawaii.
On the final day of New Student Orientation, freshmen midshipmen of #UHManoa start early with a 3 mile hike, survival swimming training and a 3rd class swim qualification, followed by a tour of MAG-24 at Marine Corps Base Hawai’i, then got to experience the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer, and finally concluded with fire and movement drills.

Back in the 1970s we had middies on one of our SSBN patrols. They got their SSBN patrol pins, none got their Dolphins on the patrol. Though some middies have gotten their Dolphins (silver) in the past on just one patrol.

Marines and loved ones of #UHNROTC complete a Murph in honor of #ltmichaelmurphy as they honor him and others who gave their lives in the line of duty. The Murph workout includes a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and another 1 mile run while wearing a weighted vest.
