Just fyi, it generally isnt kosher to have a name like that unless youve earned it (meaning you actually are in devgru). Just having a trident in your avatar can get you banned from sealswcc.com... Which you should check out if you really are interested in the teams, just use a more appropriate...

My nomination was congressional

My college grades were/are pretty good. I have just under a 3.9 GPA right now, never anything less than a 'B'. I think one thing that helped me was my research experience. I came up with a research idea, got funding, lab space, other people, etc. Engineering research is much different than...

usnareapplicant, I was able to finish high school in 2 years so I started college at 16. At that point I was so busy with what I was doing, that the academies were never on my radar; this was my first time applying. At first I was planning on OCS and didn't really know much about the...

Go Navy! Beat...world? Haha

Ballonattack991, I'm in the same boat as you (I took a year of gen chem and o-chem at a civilian college). I've haven't taken the validation tests yet, but I saw the syllabi for plebe chem 1 & 2 online. 1 was the same as my gen chem 1 and 2 was almost the same minus some more Navy-specific...

Alright, I sent my medical records in along with my acceptance of the appointment. Any idea of how they will contact me if I'm DQ'ed? I would assume if I get my permit to report that means I'm good to go. Would they update my DoDMERB status or will it be some one at USNA who makes the decision...

I received my offer of appointment earlier this month and am filling out the paperwork to accept it. I had walking pneumonia in early January and was prescribed antibiotics and a temporary inhaler (a two week dose of Advair). From what I can tell, this is the standard prescription for walking...

In response to a question regarding the 2009 announcement that the teams wanted to double their size by 2012, Scott William (SEALSWCC administrator) said "The force has grown substantially, however there is still a goal to reach. The real question is whether you will be a part of the solution."...

My BGO knew about my appointment when I emailed him a few days before I got it in the mail. He didn't say anything to me about it in order to keep it a surprise.

Anyone at SEALSWCC.com will point you here if you ask about training: http://www.sealswcc.com/navy-seals-buds-prep-docs.aspx#.T0UmhXmwVH4 SEAL motivators train enlisted men in DEP for the Challenge Contract, but I'm sure they would talk to you if you've been appointed. Instructions to get a...

Pima, Concern about my age or maturity is not the issue for me. ROTC grad school was mentioned because its the option my parents are fighting for. AROTC with an SMP option would give me tuition for grad school plus pay me back for undergrad loans, plus 2 years time in service before I...

I am not opposed to OCS (or any other commission source), I think it is an outstanding program for those who are ready to start a career. My grandfather went to army OCS and is now a general, naturally I think it is a great program. That being said, I think the academies present an unparalleled...

I apologize if I came off that way. I was trying to give the parts of my background that I thought remedied my bad sat so that I could get better advice; not show off my resume or self promote. And I know academics is just a part of what the academies, or the military in general, are looking...

I believe USNA waits till your application is half way through to have DODMERB info sent to you, but USMA does it sooner. Did you apply to West Point as well? At least that's how it was for me. Either way, DODMERB (or actually concorde) sends you info on how to schedule your physical and with...

I don't think any of you are questioning my motivation. My BGO just didn't seem to think of it as "starting over." Its not like I un-earn my first degree if/when I become a plebe. From what I've seen, via validation it could actually enable me to do a lot of cool stuff (research, extra...

Yes, I know the age requirements. I am 20 right now, and will be 21 on I-day. I started college at 16, so I'm pretty young for the position I am in. If I get appointed, I would not be surprised if there are prior enlisted even older than me. I have already met with my BGO and he seemed...

No, I have not applied before. That's why I said "this is my first time applying." No, I don't want to be a doctor. That's why I said "The desire to be a doctor went away...but the calling to be in the military didn't." "graduates of USN, with rare exceptions are expected to provide service...

Whistle pig, did you actually read my posts? 1) "While not a significant issue, he proclaims to have previously applied, altho there is no indication or evidence of that or its outcome " WRONG! "No, it is my first time applying." 2) "He talks of being a doctor. We all know the monumental...
