Happy MIDN Feature Friday! Our feature this Friday is MIDN 3/C McCall. “Hey! My name is Elle McCall and I am a 3/C Navy Nurse option at The Catholic University of America. I am one of 5 girls from LA, California. I enjoy traveling to places like New York to visit friends, taking goofy pictures with my dad and sisters, playing with puppies, going out with friends, and trying new things. I love living in DC because there are so many cool places to go and fun food restaurants to try. This summer I went on a cruise with MIDN Money, MIDN Williams and MIDN Blackston. We had so much fun exploring San Diego and learning about the life of Medical Officers and Enlisted. I learned how to put in an IV and I even got to administer a peanut butter shot. I have had so much fun and learned so much from my school and NROTC. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!”

Our last MIDN who was selected for Project Global Officer is MIDN 2/C Christian Garcia. Christian also had a great experience and shares with us: “This summer I had the privilege to study abroad in Jordan as part of NCSU Project Go. I had the opportunity to participate in a 2 month long immersive Arabic program, in which I made great friends, was taught by amazing teachers, and experienced first-hand a vibrant culture foreign to my own. I am beyond grateful to have been gifted with such a rewarding study abroad journey, and encourage others with the opportunity to take advantage of it.”
08/30/2022
Another one of our MIDN was selected for a Project Global Officer Opportunity! MIDN 2/C Nicholas Werner’s thoughts on his experience: “I was selected to be a part of the Project Global Officer program to study Russian in the Summer of 2022. I spent eight weeks at Arizona State University learning Russian at the Critical Languages Institute. After my studies there, I traveled to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan for four more weeks of language training. While I was there, I loved talking to the people and learning about a region of the world that not many Americans have travelled to. My Russian language abilities are now fantastic and this program provided me an opportunity to study abroad for free without interfering with my regular studies at GW. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I could not recommend it enough.”
08/30/2022
Project Global Officer Program offers all ROTC students an opportunity involving language education, overseas studies and cross-cultural experience. MIDN 2/C Sydney Formby was selected and here are her thoughts on her experience: “I applied to the Level Three Mandarin program based out of Taiwan. For two months I studied a wide range of mandarin including computer programming, GMO research, and religion. While class did take up most of my time, my ROTC peers and I made an effort to explore all regions of Taiwan. In the south, I had formal tea at the oldest tea shop in Taiwan. While in the North, I bouldered up to a waterfall. For any MIDN looking to drastically increase their language proficiency I highly encourage you to look into Project Go.”
