On 23 September 1971, the first NROTC Unit in the state of Florida was formally dedicated during ceremonies at Jacksonville University. Jacksonville University is one of four Florida universities among sixty-three colleges and universities in the United States which offer NROTC training. The Jacksonville NROTC Unit has commissioned Navy Ensigns and Marine Corps Second Lieutenants for service in a wide variety of warfare disciplines, including surface warfare, submarine warfare, naval aviation, nursing, nuclear power and Marine Corps occupational specialties.
To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to commission college graduates as officers. They must possess a basic professional background, be motivated towards a career in the naval service and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government. NROTC accomplishes its mission through a system of training and instruction in essential naval subjects at civil educational institutions, which qualify students for appointments as Ensigns in the Navy or Second Lieutenants in the Marine Corps.
