Throughout the three weeks at RTC midshipmen candidates will undergo initial militarization while training in basic firefighting, watch standing, seamanship, navigation, force protection, drill, and swimming along with physical fitness training and military inspections by the NROTC staff members. They will also receive military education including customs and courtesies, and military history. NSI culminates in a graduation ceremonial oath and promotion to Midshipman 4/C.
