listen buddy, i am in the class of 2014. like all the comments above have said, if you can work with it, go with it. You will not get kicked out for a calf strain or pain or whatever you have. There are so many chit surfers during plebe summer (people who pretend to be injured or milk an an...

Let me tell you. As a rising youngster at the Naval Academy. there are two companies with notorious reputations: 25th company (which would be 25th platoon of November company during plebe summer) are the Bearsharks, every company has a mascot and that is 25's. 25 is known throughout the brigade...

I keep reading that we need to bring a duffel bag. what is meant by "duffel bag?" i'm assuming that its not a green sea-bag, but a sports duffel bag. This is just used to hold our civilian clothes and the things we can't have, right? is it okay if I just have a backpack instead?

I think so

Anyone else in L company 22 Platoon? message me

I graduate May 29th also!! An "H" with a report time of 0700

I just got back from a candidate visit weekend (CVW) and here is what I can say about that. Plebe are not given any media priviledges, which means they can't listen to music, watch videos (even online), or use the wardroom unless they are given special permission. They can request permission to...

Thanks everyone! And good luck to those of you who are also applying!

Thanks. I had a feeling that the backpack would be better left at home, but wanted to make sure. I hadn't thought about weather.com,so I'll definitely be checking that out. Is Saturday Morning Training different for each plebe (based on what sports they play?? or do all the plebe's have to do...

I finished my CFA today (which was the last part of my application). I don't know how my scores are really. I've seen a lot of people with some really high numbers (maxing out). I got: basketball: 72 pull-ups: 4 shuttle: 10.25 sit-ups: 45 pushups: 30 miles: 6:06 I'm a guy. I am going to...

Not a problem. The same thing happened to me. I called the admissions office and told them that I need them to resend the information. The admissions officer just asked what my six-digit candidate number is then he confirmed the email address and sent it off. It only takes a short phone call.

Thank You All!!!
