I know this is a super common thread on this form, but I was wondering if it HAS to be 8 weeks before I-day. I had a recent dental appointment and they recommended I get them removed now before they cause any problems. I would have my wisdom teeth removed on May 28th. They’re not fully grown yet...

I know there's a thread here somewhere, but has anyone received their PTR yet? ABS has been updated for class of 2028, and the website says we should receive the PTR in the beginning of April. Just checking.

Now that we’re less than 3 months away from I-day, I’ve been doing this recommended routine for 3-4 weeks. I have some concerns though. I'm a tennis player, so I spend a lot of time putting stress on my shins (we don't have many clay courts around here). I'm worried that that combined with the...

Hello all! Looking at the course validation options, I noticed that they give tests over plebe summer all the way to Calculus 3. It looks like my 4 in BC (4 AB sub score too) will validate me out of Calc I and Calc II. For those who do validate Calc 3, will you be placed in Math IV plebe year...

Hello, I’ve been wondering about the difference between the new Maritime Cyber Warfare community and the Cyber Warfare Engineering community. Can anyone really flesh out the differences between the two? What would stations look like (shore duty or boat duty? both?)? What is their primary focus...

Hello all! I recently received an LOA to the USNA, and was wondering if I should let my MOC's offices know. My Representative already did his interviews through 3 panelists, which I went in for about 2 weeks ago (decisions should come out 2nd week of December). Would it be appropriate to reach...

Hello all, I recently had my interview with my congressman's panel. Would it be proper to send a thank you email to the staffer/coordinator? I did not meet the congressman himself, and was instead interviewed with 3 panelists. Thank you !

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a packet or something out there with directions for what to do if you have contacts or glasses. I called my location, and they said that I was not supposed to wear my night contacts for the past three months according to DoDMERB. I haven't heard of this...

I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on my essay. I'm at 273/300 words. Also, the directions ask to mention what academies I'm applying to. The Naval Academy is my #1 choice (indicated this on the application), and I do recognize that the coast guard academy does have a need for...

Hello! I recently received acceptance to NASS and quickly realized this meant taking the CFA in about 3 months. I know I'm eligible to do a flexed arm hang, but understand that 1 pull up is better than the full 30-31 seconds. Any tips for what to do to prepare/routines that are useful? I have...

I've been spending a lot of time looking at both the Air Force and Naval Academies over the past few years, and a new question popped up recently. Does the Air Force Academy have something equivalent to USNA's Sea Trials? Some sort of cumulative event at the end of freshman year? Thanks in advance!
