    Re-applying at a SMC

    Two of my classmates and company mates applied to USNA during their knob year at The Citadel after initially being rejected. Both were accepted at USNA the second time around. I visited them during their plebe year when The Citadel played football at USNA. One of the them, whose father and...

    SMC to USNA

    It's true that an SMC cannot guarantee a commission, but I've never seen an SMC cadet who was qualified, denied a commission. Even with the downsizing now taking place, I find it hard to imagine that any qualified SMC cadet who wants a commission would be denied a commission. As for non-SMC...

    SMC to USNA

    Of course he can withdraw his USNA application. By applying, he incurs no obligation. However, if he does apply to USNA, he should take care to follow the USNA application process. Your friend should keep all of his options open until he makes a final decision.

    SMC to USNA

    I have an anecdote that speaks to your question, but might not have any real bearing here. When I was a knob at The Citadel, there were two classmates in my company who re-applied to USNA and accepted appointments for the following year. That fall, when they were USNA plebes, I went to...

    LGBT Citadel

    I don't think anyone on this board goes to The Citadel to attend night classes after they complete two years at a partner college. The "civilian program" at The Citadel isn't what you seem to think it is. The Citadel is not Norwich or North Georgia.

    The Citadel or Norwich

    You clearly don't know much about The Citadel.

    The Citadel or Norwich

    Bruno is right. Comparing The Citadel and Norwich is like comparing apples and frisbees.

    LGBT Citadel

    It's "corps", not "core". If I were you, I wouldn't come out, at leastnot during knob year. As a knob, nobody really cares about your personal issues. You'll just be a knob. The best thing to do is keep your head down, do what you are told, when you are told and don't draw attention to yourself.

    after a year at the citadel, Naval Academy?

    I had two classmates in my company transfer to USNA after knob year. I saw them early in their plebe year when I went to USNA for a Citadel/Navy football game at Annapolis. One of them told me he was glad he never had to go back to The Citadel again. The other one (third generation USNA) told me...

    Republicans don't like cheerleaders? This is news to me.

    LGBT Citadel

    When I was a pre-knob in the Spring of '80, my host took me to Dino's and Big John's. The legal age for alcohol was 18, but I was 17 at the time. I got plastered. It was glorious.

    LGBT Citadel

    When I was a cadet, homosexual activity was punishable by expulsion. Obviously, things have changed. The military no longer permits discrimination against homosexuals; therefore, The Citadel no longer permits discrimination. That is the institutional response to your question. As for...

    ECP to SMC?

    NAS likes to spread disinformation.

    Information Needed

    Regardless of the school that you eventually attend, it seems that majoring in English might not be your best decision.
