GW Naval ROTC Commissioning Day 2015

The George Washington Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) commissioned their latest group of officers in a ceremony at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Friday May 15, 2015.

The GW NROTC is a unique and exciting experience that adds military training, opportunities and knowledge to the typical undergraduate program. The program is comprised of midshipmen and prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines from GW, Catholic University, University of Maryland at College Park, Georgetown University and Howard University.

We all work together to reach the ultimate goal of commissioning an officer in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.

Known as one of the best ROTC units in the country, the GW NROTC unit is made up of dedicated, well-rounded and motivated midshipmen, Sailors and Marines. Slots in the program are highly sought after by candidates who are selected by Naval Services and Training Command to be the future leaders of America. We are deeply invested in our members and our unit is dedicated to excellence to represent the Navy's core values of honor, courage and commitment.
