Let Mr. Foti or LT Kagehiro know if there is an issue.  Have your passport ready if you are traveling overseas

11.  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.

12.  FYI, San Diego may not be as warm as you think.

13.  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 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)

14.  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.

15.  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 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.”

16.  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…

17.  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

18.  Summer cruise is not a vacation, it is a training opportunity  Most of the time it’s fun, but it’s still training

19.  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

20.  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)

21.  You’re wearing Khaki – act like it  People are always watching what you are doing in Khaki  Fleet grooming standards (Haircut, facial hair, etc…)

22.  BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS WHILE TRAVELING! ◦ Noticing suspicious behavior could save your life, or someone else’s

23.  If any part of your cruise is OCONUS, you need to complete SERE and AT level 1 training  I will send you an e-mail with instructions once your cruise is assigned  Failure to complete will result in you going on a different cruise as well as disciplinary action

25.  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.

26.  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.

27.  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.

28.  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.

29.  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.

30.  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… RETAIN ALL TRAVEL RECEIPTS. No reimbursement will be authorized for any claims without a receipt.  File travel claim upon return from cruise ◦ See Mr. Foti before you leave for the summer, he has stuff for you to sign.

31.  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.
