As the new appointment thread keeps growing and growing, congratulations to all so far and in advance to those who will be receiving theirs shortly, I thought that this would be an appropriate time to impart some knowledge that I learned the hard way over the summer, so that way the class of...

I don't think that lovethenavy is saying that you should "jump through your candidate's hoops" for them but to take all the resources of help that you can get, as a Midshipman now I can say that whenever people are offering free help you should definately take it, whether it be about your...
