ANNAPOLIS, Md. (July 18, 2020) The United States Naval Academy holds an Oath of Office Ceremony for the members of the Class of 2024, Companies 16-30. This year, Oath Day marks the beginning of a demanding and shortened four-week indoctrination period called Plebe Summer, intended to transition the candidates from civilian to military life. Before interacting with their first set of detailers, the plebes underwent a 14-day restriction of movement (ROM). During this time, training was conducted in the virtual environment; focusing on moral and mental development. For the Class of 2024, their time as plebes will look very different than years prior, and their experience will be marked by the challenges Naval Academy leadership faces to ensure safety while maintaining an effective training environment. As the undergraduate college of our country’s naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
