@username22 We didn't do ours during orientation but a few weeks into the semester. As long as you can do some sort of swimming and tread water for a few minutes you'll be fine. I was a swimmer in high school but a lot of my friends passed 3/c swim quals with no problem. As for the inflation...

Current midn at Penn State... It's just a bunch of stuff being thrown at you for 4 days. You do get a knowledge packet to memorize and basically any free time, you'll be memorizing the stuff in the book. Mids will come up to you and ask you random things. There's death by powerpoint (long, long...

The portal updated for me tonight!

That is exactly what I am thinking about right now. I am about to start NROTC at Penn State in August and will be re-applying to USNA. As you said, I know there are many commissioning sources but USNA is my dream school and I would be very, very lucky to be able to go there. Now I am wondering...

Seeing c/o 2019 I-day pics on Facebook now. Wish I was there!! A little jealous of the amazing journey they are about to take. But hopefully, next year I'll be there with all of you! :)

Thanks for the advice, everyone! :)

Hi everyone! This is quite a novice question, but as part of NROTC, I am required to buy shirt stays. Does anyone know which are the best/worst and any advice for getting them?

Submitted my prelim app in the middle of may and haven't received it yet. Hopefully soon!

Me!!! Received an invitation to chat with an academy admissions officer and really dawned on me that this was happening again. Super excited for round 2! Same here, working out for CFA, retaking SAT's to try to get my reading score up, trying to get all A's in college.

I am reapplying as a college freshman, but when filling out the prelim app as a graduating senior now, do I put "college" or "high school" for education level?

It's already opened April 1st. You can submit your prelim app now :)

When reapplying as a college freshman, does USNA look at only first semester college grades or first sem. college grades and all years of high school? Thank you!

What does attrition mean? I looked it up in Google but still don't understand...

Agreed with bandad. There really is no formula for a perfect candidate guaranteed an appoinment. Like he said, try to be the best that you can be. Find something you are passionate about in school or outside and really embrace it. Volunteer but enjoy it. Its good that you already have a...

and your goal is definitely not unrealistic. When I first told my parents that I wanted to go down the military path, they didn't believe me either and told me it was just a "phase" even though i told them many times that I finally realized that this was what I wanted to do. It was only until i...

Hey, im a female ABC too!! :))

Thanks for the tip @wildblueyonder ! I use asics but it might be time for them to retire haha! Im always constantly worried my knees will get in the way of my dream. Theyre not necessarily bad but can get sore at times. Ive started doing yoga and eating more spinach, veggies, etc., taking rest...

When i run*

How do I protect my knees when I protect run?

I just want to say to all the candidates who received a TWE this year that you should be extremely proud of yourself. Applying to a military academy is not like applying to a regular college. It takes more work, dedication and willpower to go through the process. It really does test you...
