My nephew had his college transcript sent in January as the final item for his ‘28 app, but there is still an “X” in his portal as an incomplete item. Admissions has confirmed its timely receipt before the 1/31/24 deadline via phone and email and is aware of the portal issue, but it’s driving...

I know there is simple answer to whether a history of anxiety will be waived. But I’m wondering if anyone knows if BUMED (whom I understand to be the waiver authority for NROTC selects) has ever granted a waiver where the select was off the anti-anxiety meds for less than 36 months. My nephew...

My nephew has completed all the steps for an appointment but DODMERB. He has not received a COVID-19 vaccine yet. By when must he receive it? In other words, will his DODMERB approval be subject to his vaccination (and therefore his potential appointment)? Or could he get the thumbs up from...

When is the acceptance deadline this Spring for USMA class of 2020?

Assuming one takes Calculus I & II and Chem I & II plebe year, and that one is an English major, what math and hard science courses are required beyond those?

Oh, the vanity! I am embarrassed, but compelled to ask: when do mids get a portrait photograph taken? Annually? When (about what month) is the first one? Truth be told, part of this is driven by my DS' great grandmother who is 91 and has her bouts of medical problems, and I know would...

I've read that there are three "intersessions" adjacent each semester. What goes on during these? There's no class, but they're not on leave, yes? Any clarification is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else going to the class of 2016 breakfast for Illinois appointees with Captain Lovell and hosted by Sen. Kirk's office ?

The PTR information also asks if you'd like to join the Naval Institute. I know nothing about this. Anyone have any thoughts?

The Permit to Report Packet appears to be now available vis-a-vis a link on one's candidate page, which has now been updated with the PTR information as well as a link to registration for the Plebe Sponsor Program. Once you click on the link for the PTR and are taken to the USNA PTR website...

Mids aren't issued dog tags, are they?

Are all mids issued Yard Cards or does one have to request it? If the latter, how? Thanks in advance!

Have any confirmed appointees received their Permit to Report Packet yet or have any inside scoop on when they'll go out (besides "sometime in April")? Thanks in advance!

What is the Easter like at the Naval Academy in terms of mid schedules? Our family is Catholic - will my (2016) DS be able to attend Holy Thursday and/or Good Friday services, is there any special liberty given on Sunday, etc.? It did not appear on the calendars I viewed that there is any...

My DS just found out he did not get in to the college whose NROTC unit he was assigned for his 4 year scholarship. The good news is that this was his Plan B - his Plan A is USNA where he's accepted his appointment for 2016. Nevertheless, we want to keep a viable back up plan in place. Do we...

Are any midshipmen allowed to play at the USNA Golf Club course (besides, obviously, the golf team members)?

When does a mid have to declare his/her major?

It turns out that my DS' mother is friends with married couple who recently relocated to Annapolis. I assume that the plebe sponsor program is for plebes who really have nowhere else to go in Annapolis, and that plebes that have family or friends there may visit them just as other plebes may...

Can mids sync/link their USNA email account with their smartphone? Thanks in advance?

Which carrier has the best coverage in Bancroft Hall (or on the Yard generally)? Any particular thoughts on AT&T and Sprint? My son will be going out there with an iPhone on I-Day if that helps. Thanks in advance!
