| After the enlisted training, all freshmen will
be allocated to a company only for new recruits. All
midshipmen have several common characteristics like
they are full of energy, have the spirit not willing
to be defeated, and are not afraid of harsh and difficulty
environment. During the first year, midshipmen need
to survive under the pressure of both military life
and their academic study and also challenge their
limit of endurance and ability of anti-pressure, as
well as achieve their best performance in their life.
The life around the first year really helps midshipmen
build up the basic capability for the future not only
being the duty officer on the ships running into the
badly weather or doing the operation for helicopter
landing at night.
