While a required evolution for all midshipmen, sailing is an opportunity to get away from the hassles of college life for awhile and enjoy a little of the beauty of Lake Sidney Lanier. Additional to the sail qualifications you must obtain, you may aim for instructor qualification, so that you may teach other midshipmen. Additionally, Georgia Tech Naval ROTC sponsors midshipmen to participate in sailing competitions against other ROTC units. This club provides further training for anyone wanting to venture into Diver or SEAL training. Preparation for the physical loads of these training evolutions are stressed.
All midshipmen are welcome to participate though, regardless of their choice in warfare specialty.
Other activities arise from time to time as well, such as a committee to help build a float for the Ramblin' Wreck parade, Naval Ball committee, and Field Meet committees. Whatever your niche or taste, the Georgia Tech Naval ROTC unit has a place for you.
