I am a reapplicant to USNA this year and I received an email offering me an opportunity to do a CVW. I did a CVW last year when I was going through the admissions process. I had an amazing time and the experience really helped to solidify my desire to attend USNA. However I am not sure that...

In about 3 weeks I will be reporting for NROTC at the University of South Carolina. On the packing list it says to bring a flashlight. Any recommendations for a model/brand? I am willing to spend a couple of extra dollars on a good quality light that will last and be very functional. Also if...

I posted this in the USNA forum but didn't get an answer so: I was an applicant with the USNA class of 2019 but got a TWE. I was fortunate enough to receive a full 4 year NROTC Scholarship, however I feel that for me personally USNA is still the better fit (I really want the total immersion...

I was an applicant with the USNA class of 2019 but got a TWE. I was fortunate enough to receive a full 4 year NROTC Scholarship, however I feel that for me personally USNA is still the better fit (I really want the total immersion experience and I feel that I personally would thrive more in an...

I received a full NROTC scholarship a few weeks ago and recently a thought popped up. Does the admissions board at Annapolis see that I have received a scholarship and if so does it look good that I have one or do they figure that I already have a way to commission so I "don't need" USNA?

Last night I got the call from my MOC (NY-o3 Steve Israel) that I will receive a nomination (He uses the competitive slate so I am unranked along with the other 9 people on his list). I have a couple of questions about this now. 1. Because I am not a principle nomination, will this show up as a...

I live in NY-03 (Steve Israel). Has anyone heard anything from him or senators Gillibrand or Schumer? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Can the candidate activities record be amended later if I send it in now? I want to get it all in ASAP. I will be going to Boy's State in 2 or 3 weeks so I can list Boy's State attendee, but obviously not any position just yet. If I send it in and do get a position, can I edit it later? Or...

I just got a call from the local navy recruiting station about an interview for the NROTC application that I started earlier this week. I have a few questions: 1) did they contact me because I reached a certain point in my application? 2) I'm assuming a suit is appropriate for this...

In the candidate personal data record form, there is a question about my families annual income from last year. Is there any benefit/harm in answering this question or leaving it as "prefer not to answer"? Does anyone know what purpose this question serves?

One of my friends was telling me that she just got accepted to AFA Prep school after being denied an appointment (not wait-listed). She said she heard that the academy took the "next 60 candidates that would have gotten in, and sent them to the prep school." Does anyone know anything about...

I hear the NROTC application goes live tomorrow (idk about the AROTC) I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief overview of what kind of documents are in the application.

My rep want a resume of eca's, all non school activities, etc. in the initial packet to begin the nom process. I've heard that the sooner you send stuff in the better it looks in terms of commitment. I will be attending Boy's State at the very end of June. Should I wait and see if I get...

I was just looking at Senators Schumer and Gillibrand's application info on their websites and I noticed something interesting. They both say they only allow each applicant to apply for a nomination to one SA. I want to apply for a nomination to both Annapolis and West Point and I'm...

I've been having knee issues from track and my mom wants me to get an x-ray/mri. If this leads to surgery I know I have to report it to DODMERB but should it be a major issue if the surgery and recovery all goes well? Would it be waivable/would I need a waiver? It would be my first surgery of...

A message showed up on my candidate portal in the official correspondence section. It was giving me all kinds of information about DODMERB and the CFA. It also told me to start contacting MOCs for nominations but it never said that I am an official candidate. I got a similar letter from AFA...

I just got back from a CVW at Annapolis this past weekend and it was an all around amazing experience. Is their a similar program at West Point or do you have to already be appointed to do an overnight visit? I'm a junior if that makes any difference.

I two people from my district have committed to a SA (one to Annapolis, one to West Point) for sports. Will they automatically be charged to my congressman or do the SAs try to find ways to slot them without taking slots from the local congressman. Should I be disheartened by this news and...

I'm a junior in high school so I haven't started the DODMERB process yet, but when I was younger I was diagnosed with very mild exercise induced asthma. Long story short, I haven't used an inhaler in probably 4 years now and just the other day I went to a pulmonologist and took a spirometry...

I know his has all been discussed before but I have my CVW coming up this month and because I know that some people just finished theirs a couple of week ago I was wondering if they had any suggestions: What to bring/wear and what not to bring/wear, anything they had and didn't feel they...
