Just saw this come down, thought it might be interesting for past, current, and future flight studs and their families. https://www.dvidshub.net/news/452317/natracom-unveils-plan-repaint-training-aircraft In my personal opinion, I think this is really neat. There is a lot of history in the...

Team, Hope all is well! The Tinker AFB Airshow is July 4 weekend and my aircraft is going to be featured in the airshow. I am not part of the airshow crew or anything, just going to attend. Would it be appropriate/inappropriate to wear my flight suit? It is a military event and want to show...

Hello to all future NASS attendees and also hello to those currently waiting and those who got a NASS TWE. For those currently waiting or will not attend NASS, do not sweat it. Easier said than done, but NASS is not a Plebe prep program. In other words, NASS has very little indicative value on...

Just wanted to drop a thread and provide a write up and answer questions related to the flight school process for Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard students. I am one flight away from completing flight school, so I am at the tail end of my time in the orange and white (color of Navy training...

One thing my parents never fully understood until I was close to commissioning was uniforms. USNA gives you so many and we there's a lot of different insignia. Some uniforms resemble fleet uniforms and others are Academy specific. The thread about different covers made me realize that there are...

SAF Warriors, In my short time on the forums (going on 9 years), I have seen a lot of discussion about the CFA (still don't understand the BB throw), techniques, its administration, etc. I know in years previous there was an idea thrown around regarding giving the CFA and its counterparts its...

Hey all, I know there is an influx of these due to the Brigade having some extra time away. In celebration of Mother's Day, I wanted to see if there are any questions I can answer from the parent side of the house. I'm a 1/C Navy Pilot select. Please feel free to ask me about anything and...

Hey everyone, This thread is aimed at appointees, but all players are welcome. I'm a Youngster (3/C, Class of 2020... vice the username) so I can speak to both Plebe and upperclass life. All questions are welcome and I'm willing to answer just about anything. The only dumb question is the one...

Hi all, This forum gave me a lot of help during my two applications to Annapolis. I did SSMP (a USNR commissioning program at maritime colleges) for a semester before I came to USNA. I did not attend Summer Seminar, so I can't speak to much on that subject, but I will try my best for anything...

Hi all, I would like to receive some feedback on my chances for an appointment to the Class of 2020. I applied to the Class of 2019, but fell victim to the final wave of TWE's. My stats so far: My grades give me between a 3.7 and 3.8 GPA. It shouldn't drop below a 3.5. STEM Major-Marine...

Does USNA still put the same weight on SAT/ACT scores for re-applicants as they do for high school applicants or do they mainly focus on how well you do in college? Last year, I applied with a 590V/33 English and a 650M/28 Math.

I will be attending Massachusetts Maritime Academy and doing Navy SSOP. I will be majoring in Marine Transportation and I am reapplying to the Naval Academy. My first question is that my courses are scheduled in a way that places Calculus 1 in second semester. Will this negatively affect my...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone on SAF (besides me) is planning on doing SSOP at one of the state Maritime Academies. It's a small program that doesn't get talked about very much, but I would love to see if there is anyone else planning on doing the program.

Hello all, Has anyone from CA heard anything from admissions yet? I am still on Hold and from CA-11 (San Ramon Valley). I'm hoping some good news comes soon. Even NMMI would be awesome.

Hello all, I am still on Hold at KP (Been on Hold since Dec). I am wondering how many Holds typically get appointments. I'm not asking for a specific statistic, but do most Holds get in, or should I start mentally gearing myself for Plan B (Mass. Maritime with SSOP)? I'm from CA if that makes...

Hello all, I am still on Hold at USMMA and I am also waiting to hear from USNA. I got into Massachusetts Maritime Academy for Marine Transportation and it is my 3rd choice after the two Academies. I also plan on doing SSOP if I attend Mass Maritime. My question is that if I end up not getting...

Hi all, Just a quick question: I think everyone knows that commissioned Navy ships used the prefix USS, which stands for United States Ship. I am curious if the term United States Ship is ever used anymore. I have never really heard it, just USS. Anybody have any info or experiences that...

Hi All, I am a graduate of AIM 2014. I attended Week 2. I am happy to answer any questions about AIM! Fire away!

Would anyone happen to know what a 28 Math and a 33 English converts to on the SAT? I know ACT scores are converted to an SAT score by Admissions and the averages are available on the Class Profile. Also, has anyone heard anything from admissions? Thanks!

How long does Admissions usually take to give a decision on an application? I will be submitting my application on Monday and I am mailing it overnight. I look forward to hearing everyone's responses.
