| Naval Science Lab |
| All members of the NROTC battalion participate in the Naval Science Lab on Tuesday and Thursday from 1400 until 1515. The Naval Science Lab is designed to cover professional topics that are not covered in some other area of the NROTC program. Some of these topics include: wargames, close order drill, inspections, ceremonies, classes on general military subjects, etc. |
| Marine Physical Training (PT) |
| All Marines and Marine-Option Midshipmen participate in Marine PT on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 05:45 until 07:15. Our PT program is progressive and ranges from a 3-mile run and calisthenics to running up to 6 miles in boots with a rifle, helmet and web-gear. The goal of our PT program is to introduce our candidates to a lifestyle of physical fitness and to prepare students for Officer Candidate School and The Basic School. |
| Semper Fidelis Society |
| This organization is comprised of students who are pursuing a commission in the U.S. Marine Corps while completing their undergraduate degree. All Marines and Marine-option students in Auburn's NROTC unit are members of the society. "Semper Fidelis," Latin for "Always Faithful," seeks to strengthen the core values of honor, courage and commitment, that the nation expects of men and women who aspire to be Marines. Meetings alternate between "business meetings" and informal social gatherings. |
| Summer Training |
| All scholarship midshipmen attend summer training between academic years. MECEP students attend Officer Candidate School following their first academic year. During the summers following Officer Candidate School, MECEP students will attend classes. College Program (non-scholarship) midshipmen only attend Officer candidate school following their junior year. |
