I know there are always some questions about what to get someone for graduation/commissioning or even winging... I think I have found the perfect gift for a future C-130 Pilot! :p...

Class of 2021 ship selection is tonight at 1830 EST (6:30 PM). They will select their ship & homeport during this time. It will go in Order or Merit. So the top ranked Midshipmen will get first pick and then down the list. Viewers can watch on the USNA PAO channel on You Tube or the Naval...

I know there has been alot of discussion about athletes as Service Academies in other threads. My intent of this thread is not to debate the admittance record of athletes, should SAs be D1 or D3 or anything along those lines (please take those discussions elsewhere). This was an interesting...

I know current Mids are trying to enjoy their last week of leave and coming back to a COVID USNA is not ideal. Hang in there. I know the dark ages are upon you as you come back, but take care of each other. I hope as spring comes about we can start to see USNA return to a more a normal day to...

USNA appears to be reviewing physics exams now. See how this all turns out. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/22/politics/naval-academy-exams-west-point/index.html

For those current juniors who will be eligible for Summer Seminar this coming summer (2021) there is a Webcast and Q&A Session tonight at 6 PM EST. Applications are scheduled to open on 1/4/2020. Great opportunity to hear more directly from admissions. Be sure to check out the USNA...

Great opportunity for candidates/appointees to take a look at projects completed by 1/C Midshipmen. This would help give a look at some of the research projects Midshipmen have been able to do this year. This is normally an in person event, but with COVID, I think its a great opportunity for...

I know it wasn't the Plebe Parent's Weekend everyone imagined earlier this year, but I know they had their computers and phones for a few hours yesterday to call home and/or video chat. How did it go? I know this week is sort of 'reform' for the Brigade and they will get their computers and...

USNA just released the following statement on social media. ***CLASS OF 2024 UPDATE*** Due to the complexities of the Plebe Summer schedule and the timelines associated with COVID-19 testing, the Class of 2024 Oath of Office Ceremonies scheduled for Friday, July 17, have been shifted one day to...

Wanted to provide a follow up as this article was just published by USNA about an appointee having their appointment rescinded. I post this simply as a reminder to those who are looking to attend a SA one day and even current Mids who will lead Sailors and Marines in a few short years. I know...

Glad to see the Class of 2020 gets the chance for a final gathering (in smaller groups) and take the oath together. Not what they had envisioned when they started their 1/C year, but glad they can do this together (sort of). Good luck to 2020...

With everything going virtual lately, USNA Trident Scholars presented their projects virtually this year. USNA made these open to the public this year which I think provides a unique view to the program. If you are curious what a Trident Scholar is check out the website and you can watch their...

USNA was slated to play ECU this Thursday. Due to Hurricane Matthew it has been rescheduled for Nov 19. I have lots of friends in that area and the pictures are pretty crazy. I know a few of the major rivers in that area have not reached their crest yet either.

Has anyone listened to this yet? I listened to half of the first one. Its interesting. Curious to hear any thoughts out there?

Congrats to 2015 on receiving your service assignments. Best of luck as you finish out your year and move on to the fleet. Regardless of what you received, remember those sailors and Marines don't care what you wanted to do, all they care about is you leading them. Embrace your future, learn...
