Everyone
You need to familiarize yourself with your plane ticket (dates/destination)
Pay attention to what you pack and where you pack it- TSA is not kidding around.
Know your embark/debark dates and be prepared to be flexible– KEEP THE UNIT INFORMED
Have your passport ready if you are traveling overseas
Travel Info
Let’s talk about civilian clothes
Civilian clothes are authorized, but…◦ If you’re getting underway, only bring a few
things◦ You have VERY limited storage aboard a sub/ship
and shoes take the most space.
Easy on the shoes
FYI, San Diego may not be as warm as you think.
Pay attention to the climate
Once you know the ship/squadron you are going to, take the time to learn about it
Unit’s websites will have many key items, such as phone numbers for quarterdeck, duty officer, etc.◦ Ex: King’s Bay:
http://www.cnic.navy.mil/kingsbay/index.htm When arriving at destination, ship/squadron
should have a representative waiting for you (they know your ticket info, too)
Travel info cont…
If not, find the local USO (usually located in the airport) and they will be able to assist you.
I also encourage you to call me.
Travel info cont…
Uniform Code of Military Justice is Chapter 47 of United States Code Title 10
Section 802, Article 2:◦ “(a) The following persons are subject to this
chapter: …(2) Cadets, aviation cadets, and midshipmen.”
◦ http://www.jag.navy.mil/documents/UCMJ.pdf ROD: “Midshipmen fall under the UCMJ only
when assigned to active duty. Officer candidates are always subject to the UCMJ.”
UCMJ
Rules you must follow when on cruise You can be prosecuted for failure to follow
the rules set forth in the UCMJ Not the same as breaking the law (you
could be charged twice)◦ Murder, arson, robbery, forgery, etc◦ Disobeying a lawful order, disrespect towards a
superior commissioned officer, drunk on duty, etc…
◦ Underage drinking, drug abuse…
What does this mean?
MIDN are in a unique situation – somewhere between Officers and Enlisted
While on cruise it is explicitly against the UCMJ for you to fraternize with either Officers or Enlisted
You are allowed to go on liberty with your running mates, just use good sense◦ Barbeque with wardroom….good idea◦ Underage drinking with running mate…not so
much
Fraternization
Summer cruise is not a vacation, it is a training opportunity
Most of the time it’s fun, but it’s still training
Conduct and Professionalism
Be proactive◦ The people you’re learning from are busy, but
happy to help.◦ Most are excited to show you what they do, but
may not know how to approach you. Be positive
◦ Have a good attitude about every training opportunity even if it’s not in a community that you are interested in
Professional Behavior
What do you do if the unit you are assigned to is not providing you with adequate training opportunities or are constantly negative?◦ MIDN liaison officer/ MIDN training officer◦ Other JO’s◦ XO◦ Marquette (advisor or summer cruise coordinator)
Professional Behavior
You’re wearing Khaki – act like it
People are always watching what you are doing in Khaki
Fleet grooming standards (Haircut, facial hair, etc…)
Wearing Khaki
BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS WHILE TRAVELING!◦ Noticing suspicious behavior could save your life,
or someone else’s
Anti Terrorism
While you’re on the ship…
Take the time to learn the shipboard organization, routines, duties and obligations of your running mates◦ Stand watch with your running mates!
Know where to go in an Emergency Head on a swivel- pay attention to where you
are standing and what you are doing- a ship is an industrial environment
Wardroom Etiquette◦ Ask your running mate…◦ Find out what seats are reserved and don’t sit there.
Life on a ship
There are two kinds of people that get whatever they want- Admirals and Midshipmen. If you do not ask, it will not happen. LCAC rides, etc…
The crew of the ship/sub that you are on LIVE there, it is their home. Treat it with respect. They work extremely hard to cook, clean, and maintain it- a great deal of pride.
Bring Cash to use in the ship’s store.
Life on a ship
Shipboard/Submarine storage is limited – No hard case luggage◦ Leave your guitar, golf clubs, large suitcases at
home◦ Submarine cruises… Hard case luggage does
make for some great practice shooting torpedoes…
◦ CORTRAMID…small overnight bag/ duffle bag for Surface/Marine Weeks.
Life on a ship cont…
This is your cruise to help you experience what it is like to be an enlisted sailor/marine.◦ SERVANT LEADERSHIP
You WILL live, work, and be treated just like your enlisted running mate.◦ Have the proper mindset.
It is acceptable to go on liberty with your running mate, just keep it professional.
Second Class Cruise specific…
During the course of your cruise, you may be exposed to material above your current clearance level.◦ Keep this material on a need to know basis….aka
your buddies at Marquette don’t need to know.
Label all notes appropriately and do not remove from ship.◦ If you have something you aren’t sure about, treat
it as classified.
Classified Material
Budget yourself◦ Don’t spend all of your money in one night, as the
rest of your cruise will be extremely boring◦ Travelers checks/Credit card strongly encouraged◦ MWR exists on all bases and offers discount/free
tickets to sporting events, theme parks, etc…
File travel claim upon return from cruise◦ See Mr. Foti before you leave for the summer, he
has stuff for you to sign.
Personal Finances
You represent Marquette NROTC in the fleet
You represent the NROTC program as a whole
Failure to properly represent the battalion/university will result in you being sent home early and will have repercussions.◦ You are the one who calls your parents. You talk to
them right after the CO does. Also, PRB.
