    Is the Personal Swearing-In Ceremony Worth It?

    We’ve had 4 go through. The first one we went to Smoke Hall like the Academy suggests. It was packed and not that personal. With the others, my husband swore them in outside in front of Bancroft. Took no extra time out of our Plebe’s brief “freedom” and made for phenomenal pictures. Like others...

    NAPS appointments

    My Napster did apply for and receive a nomination from our Congressman. However, he was never told who his appointment was charged to (Congressman or SECNAV). This was several years ago but then they were expected to apply to all sources of nominations and not just rely on the SECNAV.

    Perhaps the opportunity to serve our great country...the same thing they dangle in front of all our children. There are many fine officers who were once "recruited athletes" just as there are marginal officers who excelled academically. Please don't assume that those who are recruited aren't...
