𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘. Watch highlights of the event as the 585 probationary midshipmen and midshipwomen of Class 2028, possibly the biggest class that entered the hollowed grounds of this Academy, undergo the Reception Rites administered to test their physical, mental, and emotional strength as their first ever challenge.
This first phase describes a rigorous and semi-regimental training program aimed at transforming the probationary midshipmen into official midshipmen and women. Over 32 days, the probationary midshipmen will undergo a process called the Indoctrination/Orientation Program (IOP), which will strip them of their civilian mannerisms, signifying their transition and readiness for their new roles as future maritime officers.
Let us look forward to seeing the Class of 2028 in their summer white uniforms on their Incorporation Day!
