I'm just about to start my junior year in high school, and I didn't know that there were already CVWs when just starting junior year. Does anyone know how people obtain these? I know the academy has my name because I was invited to a briefing but do I have to already send things in to get...

sorry this is probably a stupid sounding question, but what exactly are rates?

i got invited to that as well and was hoping that it would help show leadership for the academy

I'm interested in going into the marines after hopefully attending USNA as well, and I was wondering, do the mids that go to the marines ever go to ocs?

Hey, I live close to the academy and wanted to just go there for a day trip, does anyone know if just anyone can walk around the yard or can I only go to the museum part? Thanks

So i saw the news that women are now allowed on subs!! I was wondering if anyone would know when women will be allowed to be in ground infantry. Although the thought kills my mom, i would like to be in ground infantry for the marine corps, but, as a girl, can obviously not do that at the moment.

Probably just drive, i live right outside of D.C., and whenever i go up to Annapolis we drive. It's only about 45 min away.

I'm sorry, this question doesn't have a lot to do with the thread, but I dont know where/who else to ask it. I'm actually joining Sea Cadets and my new cadet/parent meeting is this weekend. So I was wondering what I should wear to this? For instance, just shorts and a t-shirt and tennis...

i have a quick sort of off topic question. Im interested in joining sea cadets, but I'm also a serious soccer player, so i have practices every week and games every weekend (except for in the fall when the games are on the weekdays because it is high school soccer), so is it possible to do a...

Thank you for the info 1964BGO and momofmagik. This has really helped and I will definitly start to look into more programs. And congratulations to your son momofmagik, I have read some of your other posts and noticed that he got an appointment.

Thanks for the great advice. I will definitly look into peer tutoring programs, that sounds like a great idea. And congrtulations on receiving an appointment

So I'm a sophomore in high school, and am having trouble of finding ways to show leadership. I play soccer for what seems to be my entire life so I can't do things such as Young Marines and I don't have any JROTC programs at my school. The only thing I can think of is I will probably be captain...

I would also like to know the answer to this, my mom seems to be worried that I wont be treated well while there.

I didn't do so well freshman year, I had mostly B's and one C first semester in geometry and a D second semester in geometry. I did have one or two A's. But now I am doing much better. I have all A's and two B's and am in the top 10%-15% of my class (I am a sophomore) if I keep doing well and...

Sorry this is a little off topic, but i was reading earlier in the thread about the competition in certain areas. Does anyone know how competitive Montgomery County Maryland is? The suburb area of D.C.
