Congratulations MIDN Wusu and Boiler Up!

This past weekend, 4 of our Midshipmen traveled to South Bend for the 31st Annual Naval Leadership Weekend, hosted by the University of Notre Dame.

The midshipmen heard from a distinguished panel of guest speakers, including Col Larmon (USMC), CAPT Jelinek (USN), 1st Sgt Parkes (USMC Ret.), CMC Reicks (USN), SgtMaj Twigg (USMC Ret.), and CAPT Mahaffey (USN). These leaders shared invaluable perspectives on ethics, command responsibility, and the evolving landscape of the Fleet and Marine Corps.

Thank you to the Notre Dame NROTC host midshipmen for putting together such a high-caliber event!

Today’s senior spotlight is MIDN 1/C Tyrone Shields!

MIDN Shields is from Middletown, New Jersey. His favorite memory from his time at the unit is going to Hawaii for SUBFAM with Garbarino, Spina, and Shake. A fun fact about him is that he interned at Electric Boat for two summers.

Upon graduation, MIDN Shields will commission as a Submarine Officer in the U.S. Navy.

Congratulations MIDN Shields and Boiler Up!
