NSO Day 6: Commanding Officer's Inspection

The students were able to sleep in a little this morning.  The day kicked off with the unit commanding officer's inspection at 0700.  Upon inspection, each student was given their name tags for their uniforms, signifying completion of New Student Orientation.  The students were then given an academic success brief by the unit commanding officer and executive officer, followed by a tour of the university's library.  The students got time after that with the 4th class adviser to learn about study habits and how to do well in their first semester here at Mizzou.  The NSO Honor Squad, the squad that performed the best during NSO, were then awarded a ribbon that can be worn on their uniform.  The students were then debriefed individually by their midshipman squad leaders on their performance this past week and were given feedback on how to do better and succeed in this battalion.  NSO concluded with a meet and greet between the students and the rest of the battalion.  This week was long and tiring for the students, but they exceeded the expectations that we had set for them.  They have been a great NSO class and we look forward to having them in this battalion along side us through their next four years here at the University of Missouri Naval ROTC Unit.
