Happy Wednesday Battalion, Family and Friends!

This week, NROTC Marine Platoon conducted a Combat Fitness Test (CFT) run-through to build physical readiness, discipline, and mental resilience. This training provides Midshipmen with an opportunity to assess their abilities, identify areas for improvement, and develop the endurance and determination needed to meet the demands of Officer Candidates School (OCS). Every repetition, every challenge, and every training opportunity brings them one step closer to becoming prepared leaders.
Oh-Rah!

Happy Halloween, Battalion, friends, and family!
A little Halloween spirit and a lot of friendly competition! Our UA NROTC midshipmen brought the energy this past Monday with a fun game of musical chairs and some competitive gatorball. From quick moves to team spirit, everyone got in on the fun and showed that the battalion knows how to bring the competition both on and off the field.
Train together. Compete together. Lead together.

Happy Tuesday, Battalion, friends, and family!

Our University of Arizona NROTC Midshipmen had the opportunity to develop their naval knowledge and leadership skills through COVE and Naval Development Training (NDT).
Using COVE, our ship-driving simulator, Midshipmen practiced learning standard commands and navigating the Rules of the Road, gaining a better understanding of ship handling and safe navigation. Through Naval Development Training, Midshipmen continue to build military professionalism, strengthen their leadership skills, and prepare for the responsibilities of becoming future Naval officers. Experiences like these help our Midshipmen connect classroom learning with the skills and professional standards needed to lead in the fleet.

Building knowledge today. Preparing to lead tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday, Battalion, family, and friends!
This past weekend, the University of Arizona NROTC Marine Platoon completed their Field Exercise (FEX). FEX is more than field training; it gives our Marine candidates a chance to challenge themselves, develop their leadership skills, and test their knowledge and abilities in a demanding environment. Throughout FEX, candidates build proficiency in land navigation, tactical decision-making, communication, teamwork, and small-unit leadership. They learn to adapt under pressure, hold themselves and their teammates accountable, and understand what it takes to lead Marines when conditions are challenging and plans do not always go as expected. FEX prepares our candidates for Officer Candidates School (OCS) while building the discipline, confidence, resilience, and leadership mindset future Marine Corps officers need. Every evolution is an opportunity to learn, improve, and become better leaders. Through hard work, teamwork, and a commitment to continuous self-development, our candidates continue to push themselves to meet the standard and prepare for the responsibility of leading Marines.
Train with purpose. Lead by example. Earn the title.

Happy Wednesday, Battalion, Family, and Friends!
This past weekend, the University of Arizona Midshipmen had the honor of participating in the University of Arizona’s Family Weekend by serving as part of the Color Guard during the football game. Our Midshipmen proudly represented the battalion while displaying the colors before the Wildcat community, families, alumni, and fans.
Opportunities like these allow our Midshipmen to demonstrate military bearing, discipline, teamwork, and respect for our Nation and the colors we serve while representing the Naval ROTC program and the University of Arizona.
We are proud of our Midshipmen who stepped forward to support this special event and carry on the traditions of service and ceremony.
Bear Down!

SERVICE SELECTION | CLASS OF 2027
A major milestone for the University of Arizona NROTC Battalion.
Today, we proudly recognize the Midshipmen and Officer Candidates selected to serve in the United States Navy. Service selection marks the culmination of years of hard work, discipline, leadership, academics, physical training, and commitment to something greater than themselves. Congratulations to:
MIDN 1/C Luis Luzbert — Submarines
OC Wyatt Wisuri — Submarines
MIDN 1/C Michael Aragon — Surface Warfare Officer (SWO)
MIDN 1/C Ella Pickett — Surface Warfare Officer (SWO)
These selections represent more than a future job. They represent the beginning of a new responsibility: to lead Sailors, make difficult decisions, uphold the standards of the Navy, and serve with honor, courage, and commitment.
For the University of Arizona NROTC Battalion, this moment reflects what our program strives to build every day: capable leaders who are prepared to serve, lead, and make an impact beyond themselves. To our selectees, congratulations on earning this opportunity. Your journey does not end here. It is only beginning. The battalion is proud of you and looks forward to watching you lead in the years ahead.
BEAT NAVY.

Happy Wednesday, Battalion, Friends and Family!
Staying strong as the days go by. Starting the week with discipline, teamwork, and a willingness to push beyond our limits.
This Monday morning, our Midshipmen paired up with a partner and took on a workout built around accountability and endurance. The workout began with a 0.85-mile buy-in run before moving into the circuit:
30 push-ups
15 burpees
30 squats
30 flutter kicks

After each round, Midshipmen completed another 0.35-mile run around Hopi and Graham-Greenlee before returning to Bear Down Field and getting back to work. The cycle continued for 45 minutes. Partner PT is more than just completing reps. It is about holding each other accountable, pushing through the difficult moments, and building the teamwork required of future Navy and Marine Corps officers.

Every run. Every rep. Every round. Start strong. Stay disciplined. Finish together!

NROTC University of Arizona Marine Platoon | M-SULT
A strong foundation starts with the fundamentals.
This morning, NROTC University of Arizona Marine Platoon began M-SULT training, focusing on individual actions, hand-and-arm signals, squad tactics, and tactical decision-making.
Training is led by senior Midshipmen and Marines, who lead, guide, mentor, and train the next generation of Marines while continuing the mentorship passed down by those before them. Through classroom instruction, quizzes, practical exercises, and hands-on applications, Midshipmen develop professionalism, discipline, communication, teamwork, and attention to detail both inside and outside the classroom.
Today sets the foundation for building confident leaders and a cohesive team. Learn the fundamentals. Apply the standard. Build the team.

FOREX | Foreign Exchange Program

Happy Wednesday Battalion, Friends, and Family!
This summer, University of Arizona NROTC Midshipmen participated in the Navy’s Foreign Exchange (FOREX) program, an opportunity designed to provide Midshipmen with firsthand exposure to foreign naval forces, international maritime operations, and allied partnerships. During FOREX, Midshipmen travel overseas and engage with partner-nation naval personnel, gaining insight into their training, customs, operations, and maritime capabilities. The experience allows participants to better understand the importance of interoperability, communication, and professional relationships between the United States Navy and its international partners. Programs such as FOREX contribute to the development of well-rounded future Naval Officers by combining operational exposure, cultural exchange, travel, and professional education.
