There is no “snail mail” PTR info. Everything is online and should be printed/copied/submitted as indicated. I-Day report times should come in an email this week. Company assignments and alpha numbers come in an email in mid-June right before reporting.

It’s the same guidelines as previous years. I’m just sharing the practical reality of the past recent years. You only need one airtight container, you don’t have room for multiples. One shoebox is good, then any other packages would just be refills. You will be able to communicate your wishes at...

No, they are actually encouraged and sold in the MidStore. You just can’t have the caffeinated version during Plebe Summer. Your detailers encourage EmergenC and similar basic OTC immunity boosters. There is so much funk that goes around and some things you miss if sick are one and done. They...

Great choices. Just mail the clothing- no need to carry it on I-Day. Put the snacks in the care packages, too. Get one priority mail shoebox size (a Target plastic shoebox will fit inside to contain snacks from critters). For the rest use the flat rectangle priority boxes. Some fav snacks are...

You only wear white crewneck undershirts under your whiteworks, so the issued will be fine. You wear v-neck white undershirts under all your other uniforms from here on out, my mid likes the Nike fabric.

You wear black/navy compression under PT gear. Under uniforms you can wear any color/style.

The email with I-Day report times usually comes out the last week of May and company assignments/alpha numbers in mid-June.

The white issued crew socks are required to be worn during plebe summer. They are comfortable and liked by mids. Your preferred compression shorts, underwear, sports bras is definitely helpful. You are issued some, and laundry is done for you but not on a predictable schedule. You will be wet...

You are permitted and encouraged to wear your retainers at Plebe Summer. Active orthodontic treatment must be completed before reporting. Bring your retainers with you on I-Day. Once academic year starts, it’s helpful to get one of the UV/ultrasonic cleaners. Great for your retainers and mouth...

Also appointees that are military dependents already have CAC IDs and Tricare.

It depends on how much info you would like in advance, how much you like to plan ahead, and if you are interested in seeing pictures and videos. They also share event schedules, parking/traffic info, VIP guests and special events, etc. The Brigade has mids assigned to their social media pages...

And 14 of the 46 with “some college” were appointees or plebes who were injured and needed to rehab, get a DODMERB waiver to receive a second USNA appointment. Not exactly reapplicants. Fun fact… Plebes with serious orthopedic injuries needing lengthy surgery/rehab may be sent home to complete...

Yes!! This is absolutely the USNA/USMC way! I’ve been a part of it for almost 50 years now. Your family is whomever you’re with- the ones that have your back, and you theirs. The bonds formed go deep fast and will last forever. The military takes care of making sure your paths continue to cross...

For stadium parking you will just park close to where the USNA shuttle buses are running. There will be signage. You can go inside Bancroft Hall and see their plebe summer room immediately following Friday’s Noon Formation. This will be one of only 2 times that families can go inside Bancroft...

Just saw a FB announcement of someone coming off the USNA waitlist with an appointment!!💙⭐️💛

It is a waiverable injury/repair for USNA, as long as they are currently functioning at the expected performance standards (CFA/PRT). My mid had the same injury and surgery and is at USNA now. Just be ready with all your medical records and documentation to submit in a timely fashion.

You can bring your personal laptop after plebe summer, if you choose. You will also have a USNA laptop. Printers are no longer issued, but are still needed. Storage space in rooms is very limited, and moving around during the summer requires stream-lined packing. That said lots of printers were...

FedEx Field holds 62,000

He can jump into the PTR now! The email will just be a link to what you saw on the USNA site😉 Start making piles, checklists, appointments, etc.

Yes, looks like it’s updated! An email should follow soon, but things in the military don’t s as Keats happen sequentially. Kudos to the team that got it loaded early!
