We did have to pay $10 for the tickets but if you got them early enough you got floor seats. I paid 10 bucks for a second row 2 hour Toby Keith concert!

Also the Academy puts on some awesome shows to help increase the fun level. This year we had a Kesha, 3OH3 (no clue how to spell it), and Goo Goo Dolls concert as well as a Toby Keith concert which was amazing! For the dark ages they had a magician (believe it was cool) and hypnosis which was...

Thanks! Thanks for all the replies, I ended up applying for a new SS card here in Annapolis, I just couldn't find my original. I'm also bringing my passport just in case, thanks again! And since this will probably be my last post before tomorrow I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum who...

Hey I was getting all my stuff around and realized I thought I knew where my SS card was and it's not there. Does anyone know if I absolutely need it or would a passport suffice? Could I send in for a new one and get it in a couple weeks? I really need advice!

Yeah I-day is July 1st for USNA. EVERYBODY who knows I'm leaving soon always asks if I'm excited and if I'm nervous. It's like those are the only two adjectives in the dictionary!

I ran cross for four years so I'll give it a go. First of all I'd see if the pain is still there the rest of this week when you go running, don't jump to any conclusions. I know I'm going to the Naval Academy, not West Point, but I assume running is still really important and would definitely...

Thanksgiving definitely seems possible which is nice to know, but do most plebes take advantage of this, is it worth going? And what do plebes do during Thanksgiving if they don't go home?

You can definitely still apply. I think around 25% or more of each class doesn't come directly from high school. I don't know your chances but take college classes that mimic the plebe year schedule and show that you can handle college classes where ever you go. I'll let anybody else who has...

One thing is to keep an open mind during the entire week. I went in unsure and came out determined to go to USNA. However in the first couple days I was a little wishy-washy still. But by the time the week was done and especially after mock sea trials I loved it! Don't formulate opinions right...

Thanks for the responses. MIDNDAD, I realize how hard it is to walk on to soccer but am trying out for goalie so I may have a better shot, though then again maybe not. Can I try out for both crew and soccer and then if I didn't make soccer still do crew?

Today in the mail I got a letter from the USNA's Asst. Coach for the crew team inviting me to consider Navy rowing. I have never participated in rowing in my life. Is this common? I was hoping to try out for the women's soccer team but I guess it'd be something to consider. Any thoughts?

Definitely need a swimsuit, though the only time I used one was during mock sea trials. I didn't have a one piece either so I had to go out and buy one.

I disagree, it depends on the region. I too am from Wisconsin as Suzie was and it isn't a common practice. Sure I use it when I'm talking to the referee at my game or a similar situation but its not used commonly with teachers, parents, etc. However I still respect my parents and teachers and am...

I think that might be true, I remember reading something that said it was done by SSN for West Point (I even remember a chart) so its prob the same for Annapolis. No matter I'll still report at 8am!

Hey futuremid I accepted your friend request. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and welcome to the forum!

I know there is a printed catalog since I have two. I got one from my school counsler though she honestly doesn't remember how she got it. I also got one from my BGO when I did my interview. I read mine so much the binding started falling apart!

Well according to others on this site that's a good thing from the standpoint of organizing your room!

Got my packet a few days ago, 8AM report time, not too early not too late. Just right for me!:thumb: Gotta start going through all this paperwork, whew there's a lot!

I didn't qualify for the pres nomination, but I know for the VP there is definitely no interview. You simply send the application in and the Academy essentially uses this nomination to give to 5 deserving candidates that somehow didn't recieve a nomination elsewhere. I am also almost positive...
