Which program is designed to recruit future commissioned officers for the Navy and Marine Corps?

Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps
Officer Candidate School
Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps
Naval Academy Preparatory School

The correct answer is: Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps

The Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) is specifically designed to recruit and train future commissioned officers for the Navy and Marine Corps. This program offers students scholarships and a structured path to commission as officers while they complete their college education. Students involved in the NROTC program receive naval science training, participate in leadership development activities, and engage in physical training, all of which prepare them for their future roles as officers. The other programs listed serve different purposes. Officer Candidate School (OCS) is for individuals who have already graduated from college and are seeking to become officers, rather than recruiting future officers from the college level. The Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NJROTC) is a high school program aimed at instilling discipline, leadership, and citizenship, but it does not directly recruit officers for the Navy and Marine Corps. The Naval Academy Preparatory School provides preparation for individuals who have already been selected to attend the United States Naval Academy, ensuring they are ready for the rigors of the academy.
