Georgia Tech Naval ROTC

Looking forward to the Fall Semester, we are excited to reflect on our Change of Command Ceremony! Congratulations to MIDN 1/C Mentz for receiving the honor of Battalion Commanding Officer!

Congratulations to MIDN 1/C Khazatsky for earning first place in the Georgia Tech Mechanical Engineering Capstone Competition. His team’s winning energy-efficient water heater design demonstrates the technical leadership and innovation we value and strive for within our unit!

Earlier this month, our unit traveled to Seattle to compete in the Northwest Navy competition, hosted by University of Washington NROTC. In this competition various NROTC units faced off in academic and athletic challenges.

Our seven representatives proudly represented one of the original six NROTC units, celebrating 100 years of history. A special congratulations to our academics team led by MIDN 2/C Frady for earning 1st place in the academic challenge against all attending units!

We are incredibly proud of our team for representing our battalion, and huge thank you to for hosting the event!

Our next senior spotlight brings us to MIDN 1/C Jack Yan! MIDN Yan is from Los Angeles, California and is currently pursuing a degree in User Interface at Kennesaw State University. In his free time he enjoys playing basketball and fishing. He joined NROTC because he wanted to defend his country and because of the impact his mentor, former astronaut Steven Lindsey, had on him! During his time in the unit he has had multiple billets as ATHO, OPSO, Senior chief, and BNCO. MIDN Yan plans to commission as a Student Naval Flight Officer. His favorite memory in the unit was holding new student pt and working at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. One piece of advice he would give to the underclassmen is making wise financial decisions before commissioning. Hooyah, MIDN Yan!
