Sorry to branch off the topic a little, but are electric razors allowed during Plebe Summer or the Ac year??

Yes USAFA17, the CFA during Summer Seminar DOES count toward your application, but if you can boost your scores further down the road then the Naval Academy does accept it (to my knowledge).

Oh and one more thing, if any of you mids at the Academy had any advice regarding the four years there, I would love to hear about it! :biggrin:

So Kamikazi, what did you see as plebes lacking the most? And in what ways could they be improved? Also, from what I read here and other places on the internet, I see that a lot of people have mixed feelings towards learning material from Reef Points, what do you recommend? Any help...

Thanks for the great advice!!! :thumb:

Hey Navy_clarinet where did you find that out?

So would I go through my BGO if I wanted to set up a cvw?

I know this may seem like a generic question, but it is one I have had the most trouble getting a direct answer. And it is this, if I wanted to have the best chance at getting a pilot slot, is there an overall better chance at the Academy or in NROTC? I was recently in San Diego, checking out...

USNA2K12, I was the EXACT same way. You said it all. I'll be seeing you July 2nd!!

No the Academy doesn't care if you take the AP test. They only accept the validation tests they administer.

I heard through my Congressman's secretary about my appointment earlier this week...try giving your nominating source a call.

Haha how can I not accept? Thanks for the positive feedback!

Just kidding. I just found out after calling my Congressman's secretary that I have an official appointment to the USNA class of 2012!!! This is right after coming back from an awesome tour of the yard itself (yesterday, the 20th) in Annapolis, having the privilege to walk in and throughout...

First of all I'd like to start off by saying how great this site is, it's a shame I didn't find it earlier. Anyways, I'm a prospective candidate for the USNA class of 2012, just about to wrap up my application by taking my CFA this Friday. I received a nomination from Congressman Dan Lungren...

Hey not bad man! I'm taking my CFA this Friday. You should have no problem passing (get that mile down a lil' though). So I take it you received a nomination to the USNA, and are just waiting to hear back from the academy for an appointment. Good luck, man! Hopefully I'll see ya there!
