    Softball?

    Softball does not play during plebe summer. There's usually an informational meeting about a week into the AC year for those interested, then subsequent tryouts. Unfortunately Navy doesn't recruit for Softball.

    Swimming at NASS

    I went to NASS last year and there were two parts to the swim phase of mock sea trials. The first part was swimming as fast as you could in a relay with your squad. The second part was treading water for 15 minutes (just a guess, felt like forever though). You also had to dive underwater and...

    New Balance Shoe for Plebe Summer

    I really hope no one takes my glasses!! I'm pretty much blind without glasses. And if they do, I hope they have BCGs for me (there's something I never thought I'd say).

    NASS 2010 Acceptance Thread

    your mile time seems pretty good. It was better than mine anyway. The company run is only 3 miles not 3.5, if that's any comfort :) For the basketball throw I would just suggest practicing on a soccer field or in a gym or something. I play softball so I had the basic technique, but it's...

    On the right track?

    It certainly doesn't hurt to know one, because they can give you advice, encouragement, cool stories etc. But unless that military officer is your BGO and is doing your interview I don't think USNA will take any letters of recommendation other than the ones they specifically ask for.

    On the right track?

    Show leadership!!! Join clubs you're interested in and try and become a club officer. You can also join NHS, although you can't do that until you are a junior. You look pretty solid otherwise. (also it doesn't matter that much that you know a rear admiral)

    DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!!! I've wanted to go to USNA since freshman year and I've directed all my energy over the past 4 years to getting there.

    Funny SA Misconceptions

    A few days ago I went to the police station to get my background check for USNA. I was talking to one of the clerks and told her that I was going to the Naval Academy. She proceded to ask me "oh, which one?" I paused for a good 3 seconds while my brain processed the question. Finally I managed...

    book recommendations, anyone?

    Honor and Duty by Gus Lee. It's about USMA. A little sad, but it's really well written and definitely worth reading.

    TWE/Blue Folder Question

    Funny story, my friend's mom works for the congresswomen that I got my nom from. My friend knew about a week before I did that I was in, but she couldn't tell me. However she kept dropping hints at practice until I finally got my blue folder, at which point she told me she knew all along.

    Personal Data Record?

    I think one of the grade options is unknown. I put that. When you send your transcript eventually it'll have your grades. I'm not sure but that's what I did.

    Contacting Regional Director

    I have a correction to make on my application packet. However, I emailed my regional director with the changes a few times over the past month and I haven't heard anything since. I was wondering what I should do. I'm not in a huge hurry, but it's starting to bother me, so I'd like to get it...
