    Questions

    Ok, I have done some research and I still am questioning some things. I read in a post that if you are offered an AROTC scholarship and accept it you can later turn it down for any reason. I thought that when you accept the scholarship you sign a contract with AROTC, but if you receive an...

    CFA Question

    I researched this for USNA and it said that the CFA can be given to you by one of your coaches, your BGO, or an officer in the military (not sure if they have to be active duty or not). Someone can correct me if I am wrong seeing as I am a beginner and still trying to find out as much as possible.

    Noms from JROTC to USNA

    I have searched but found no answer to this question. Can your Senior Army Instructor nominate you for the naval academy through your JROTC program? (we are an Honor Unit with Distinction)

    Need help with push ups

    Can someone give me some pointers for improving my maximum push up count. Right now I can only do about 30 straight. Some things that my factor in, I do not have access to a gym and also have no weights at my house. Is there anything I can without those things to improve my push ups for the CFA.

    Navy Notre Dame Oct. 23rd

    Are civilians allowed to go to the football games, or do you have to be part of USNA such as being a mid, parents of mids, and alumni. I would like to attend one in the future if I can.

    I need some advice

    I want to apply to the naval academy for the class of 2016. But I am pretty sure I will not even receive a congressional recommendation. My GPA is far below the norm and I am barely in the top half of my class. But my high school is not very competitive. What I need advice with is, even though I...

    Amount of candidates that recieve an appointment to USNA, NAPS, and foundation school

    I know that you get into all of those places by applying to usna and when you are chosen not to be a potential candidate for usna you are automatically considered for NAPS and a foundation school. Let me clarify my question. How many applicants receive an appointment to usna + applicants that...

    NROTC at Savannah State University

    I have been doing research for schools that offer NROTC. I came across SSU, which is an in-state school for me. Also I was reading on their site that they admitted somewhere around 40 candidates into the program via the NROTC scholarships. My question is, is this somewhere near the average for...

    Rifle Team?

    I was looking at the navy athletics site and saw that they have a rifle team. Anyone know how good you have to be to make it? Rifle Team is what I do at my school, and I would be very interested in shooting for the USNA.

    Vision Waiver Possiblity

    What are the chances of getting a waiver. Do the waivers differ depending on what vision requirement you don't meat. Also I have a "lazy eye" which is really bad. I mean its terrible. What are the chances of a waiver for someone with a lazy eye.
