The New Student Orientation Program (NSO) is a training program organized by Illinois NROTC midshipmen, with the purpose of preparing Midshipmen Candidates for life in the Illinois NROTC Battalion. Candidates will learn the basics of military customs and courtesies, Close Order Drill (COD), uniform preparation, and generally how to become a successful member of the Battalion and the University of Illinois/Parkland Community College at large.

Scholarship midshipmen will be required to attend Indoc at the Recruit Training Center Great Lakes and are strongly encouraged to attend NSO. A Welcome Aboard letter for Indoc will be available soon. College Program midshipmen will not be attending Indoc, however, are strongly encouraged to attend NSO.

Some of the weeks highlights will include valuable training, physical training and participating in a graduation ceremony to which relatives are invited. Candidates can expect the approximately four day training evolution to challenge them to be the best they can be, allow them to meet their fellow midshipmen, and begin the process of becoming an honorable, courageous, and committed junior officer in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.

Each Midshipman Candidate at NSO is provided with a copy of the NSO Welcome package and is expected to be familiar with its contents before arrival.
