The mission of the NROTC program is to develop midshipmen mentally, morally,
and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and
loyalty in order to commission graduates as naval officers who possess a
basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval
service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so
as to assume the highest responsibility of command, citizenship, and
government.
2. Goals of the NROTC Program
The primary objectives of the NROTC program are to provide NROTC students
with:
a. A strong sense of personal integrity, honor, and individual
responsibility.

Science.
c. A basic understanding of the associated professional knowledge.
d. An appreciation of the requirements of national security.

undertake successfully, in later periods of his or her career, advanced or
continuing education in a field of application and interest to the United
States Armed Services.
f. A high state of physical fitness for the purposes of health and
performance.
3. Midshipman Honor Code

17. Anchors Aweigh
Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
We'll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to Foreign Shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay;
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home!
Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great sun;
Let these our colors be, Till All of time be done-n-n-ne;
On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true, With honor over, honor over all!
18. Marines’ Hymn
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

19. Physical Fitness
a. Physical Fitness and appearance is an essential component of the
NROTC mission. In the Naval Service, fitness is important for maintaining
the general health and wellness and operational readiness of members and for
leading by example.
b. Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). Navy Option Midshipmen will
complete a Physical Fitness Assessment(PFA), which consists of a Physical
Readiness Test (PRT) of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile timed run, and a
Body Composition Analysis (BCA) of height and weight measurement. A minimum
PRT score of Good-Low is required of all Navy Option Midshipmen. All
Midshipmen will comply with Navy height and weight standards.
c. Physical Fitness Test (PFT). During the first half of the year,
Marine Option Midshipmen will conduct a Physical Fitness Test (PFT) which

half of year all Marine Option Midshipmen will conduct a Marine Corps Combat
Fitness Test (CFT) which includes a Movement to Contact, Ammunition Lift, and
Maneuver Under Fire components. A minimum PFT score of 275 is required of
all Marine Option Midshipmen. All Marine Option Midshipmen will comply with

(4) Insignia and Placement Diagrams. [See Appendix G.]
c. Ties.
(1) Male Service Dress Blues. Ties shall be knotted in either a Half
Windsor or a Full Windsor.
d. Personal Appearance.
Hair/grooming/personal appearance while in uniform shall present a neat,
professional appearance. This section is a condensed summary of the United
States Navy Uniform Regulations (NAVPERS 15665I) and the Marine Corps Uniform
Regulations (MCO-1020.34G). Midshipmen are responsible for knowing and
following the regulations as they exist in full.
(1) Navy Option, Male. Hair above the ears and around the neck shall
be tapered from the lower natural hairline upwards at least 3/4 inch and
outward not greater than 3/4 inch to blend with hairstyle. Hair on the back
of the neck must not touch the collar. Hair shall be no longer than four
inches and may not touch the ears or collar. The bulk of the hair shall not
exceed approximately two inches. Sideburns shall not extend below a point
level with the middle of the ear and shall end with a clean shaven horizontal
line. The face shall be clean shaven.
(2) Navy Option, Female. Hairstyles shall not be outrageously
multicolored or faddish. Hair coloring must look natural and complement the
individual. Haircuts and styles shall present a balanced appearance. Hair
shall not show from under the front of the brim of a uniform cover. When in
uniform, the hair may touch the collar, but not fall below a horizontal line
level with the lower edge of the back of the collar. Long hair, including
braids, which fall below the lower edge of the collar shall be neatly and
inconspicuously fastened, pinned, or secured to the head. No portion of the
bulk of the hair as measured from the scalp will exceed approximately 2
inches. A maximum of two small barrettes/combs/clips, similar to hair color,
may be used in the hair. Additional bobby pins or rubber bands matching hair
color may be used to hold hair in place, if necessary.
(3) Marine Option, Male. Hair will be clipped at the edges of the
side and back; will be evenly graduated from zero length at the hairline in
the lower portion of the head to the upper portion of the head; and will not
be over 3 inches in length fully extended on the upper portion of the head.
(4) Marine Option, Female. Marine Corps uniform standards for
women's hairstyles require non-eccentric and non-faddish styles, maintaining
a conservative, professional appearance. Women’s hairstyles are organized
into three basic categories: short length, medium length, and long hair.
(a) Short Hair Length. Short hair is defined as hair length that
extends no more than 1 inch from the scalp (excluding bangs). Hair may be no
shorter than 1/4 inch from the scalp, but may be evenly graduated to within 2
inches of the hair line. Bangs, if worn, may not fall into the line of
sight, may not interfere with the wear of all headgear, and when worn with
headgear must lie neatly against the head. The width of the bangs may extend
to the hairline at the temple.
MIDSHIPMAN KNOWLEDGE, NROTC UC BERKELEY
10
(b) Medium Hair Length. Medium hair is defined as hair that does
not extend beyond the collar’s lower edge (in all uniforms), and extends more
than 1 inch from the scalp. Medium hair may fall naturally in uniform and is
not required to be secured. When worn loose, graduated hair styles are
acceptable, but the length, from the front to the back, may not exceed one
inch difference in length, from the front to the back (see Figure 1-3 in MCO
P1020.34G page 1-15). Similar to the above, for the wear of bangs, no
portion of the bulk of the hair, as measured from the scalp, will exceed
approximately 2 inches (see Figure 1-3).
(c) Long Hair. Long hair is defined as hair that extends beyond
the collar’s lower edge. Long hair will be neatly and inconspicuously
fastened or pinned, except that bangs may be worn. The regulations for the
wear of bangs detailed above are relevant. No portion of the bulk of the
hair, as measured from the scalp, will exceed approximately 2 inches (except
a bun, which may extend a maximum of 3 inches from the scalp) and no wider
than the width of the head.
e. Gear Marking.
Each Midshipman is personally and financially responsible for all issued
gear. To avoid the unnecessary risk of lost or stolen gear, all issued gear
will be properly marked at all times.
(1) Hydration Packs.
(a) Navy Option. Labels will be centered on the back of the pack
and will consist of black permanent marker on gray duct tape, with the last
name in all capital letters.
(b) Marine Option. The Marine Corps Camelbak comes with a hook
and loop adhesives. Plain brown nametapes will be purchased online.
(2) Canteens. Labels will wrap around the entire bottom edge of the
canteen and will consist of black permanent marker on gray duct tape, with
the last name in all capital letters. The name will be written on the
outward curving side of the canteen.
(3) Gear Marking Placement Diagrams. [See Appendix H.]
f. Appropriate Civilian Attire.
The wearing of civilian attire, like the service uniform, implies a
dedication to professionalism. Naval personnel shall ensure that their dress
and personal appearance are appropriate for the occasion and will not
discredit the Naval Services.
