What teacher recommendations are needed for the USNA application? Math and English? And will the teachers need to submit information directly to USNA? A couple of years ago there was post on what an applicant should do during their rising senior year summer, but I couldn't find it after a...

My son, a HS junior, is being recruited by the USNA track team. The coach has informed him that they would like him to come back to Annapolis in the fall for an official recruiting trip. Does anyone know if the CVW experience is any different than an official recruiting trip for a recruited...

Prepswimmom: My son is a student/athlete being recruited by both civilian schools and USNA. In the majority of the cases most civilian schools do not provide student/athletes full athletic scholarships. As a RA to USNA, not only would my son have the opportunity to serve as an officer in...

NAPS Seavoyager, were these 3 NAPSters recruited athletes?

Yeah, but the mile run may be a bit rough. :eek:

mjm: He's a thrower.

River and Memphis: Thanks for your responses re: blue chip recruits. I appreciate it.

Blue Chip Recruit My son spoke to a USNA track coach tonight. The coach told him that he is a "blue chip recruit." What does that exactly mean?

Recruiting Trips My son is currently being recruited by the track coach at USNA. He is a junior in HS and the coach told him that the Academy will fly him to Annapolis in the Fall of 2014 for a recruiting trip. So, its my understanding that USNA provides recruiting trips for their prospective...

Congrats to you and your DD. My son, who will be applying to USNA, has told me that he would like to serve in Marine Air. Frankly, I don't know what that would entail. Helos? Ospreys? Would you please give me your description of the duties/airframes for Marine Air?

River 3434's definition of a "recruited athlete" is partially correct. The following is the NCAA's definition of a "recruited athlete." A prospect is considered a recruited athlete if the college takes one of the following actions: •If they provide the prospect with an official visit...

You got to let us know how this turns out. Hoping its a LOA.

4-year athletic scholarship Freda'sMom is correct. Universities can now offer 4-year athletic scholarships. My son was just offered one.

SA Coach Contact Parentalunit2 asks how can SA coaches contact a 15-16 year old athlete. NCAA rules allow SA coaches to contact prospective student athletes beginning July 1 after their sophomore year in HS. The NCAA allows SA coaches to contact, by phone, prospective student athletes one...

Really??? "No one initially dogged the original poster." Really??? The first response to the OP called him "presumptuous," "conceited," and flatly told him that his stats "aren't that impressive." I'd hate to see if the OP had been "dogged." The poor guy was just trying to help out and...

If the original poster and VRSCDX wouldn't mind, I would appreciate it if you could post your son's or daughter's stats that allowed them to get a NAPS appointment. Thanks.

Thanks for the Help The OP posed a question that a lot of prospective cadets and prospective cadets' parents are wondering about as well given the current economic/political climate. I just want to thank people like Bullet who post regularly with very helpful information. As a dad of a...

Air Force Pilots TennisFan88 You state in your post that most cadets that request a pilot slot receive one--at least in your graduating class. I understand that all cadets that are selected for pilot slots must be medically qualified as well. In your experience, do most cadets that need...

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked previously, but is the AF going to separate aspiring pilots into two groups at flight school--those who want/choose to remotely fly UAVs and those who don't? The last time I checked on this issue, a USAFA grad was sent to flight school and...

How many aviator slots were given out to the USNA graduating class of 2012? And how far down in the class ranking were the aviator slots given out?
