To the moderators and friendly people here who have helped me and my future classmates with our questions this past year. It's funny, because whenever we discuss what we've 'heard' that we're doing this summer, 95% of the time the source has been serviceacademyforums. Good Luck 2015...

What would happen if a Plebe got injured during Plebe Summer? For example, the day after I-Day, he breaks his arm. Would he be separated? What about insurance? I know USNA recommends keeping personal health insurance, and I intend to, I'm just skeptical as to what happens if I get injured...

Typically, how much homework is one assigned on a nightly basis at USNA? I'm interested in Aerospace Engineering, and was just wondering if there would be enough hours in the day to get all the work done. :rolleyes: Is the daily "2 hour study period" enough to get all the work done? Thanks!

I have a couple of questions about the Aviation Community: For NFOs and aviatiors, how long does the training (like API) last for each? And, let's say for SNAs, it takes 18 months to earn their pin. Does this 18 months count toward their advancement/promotion to LTJG? Does the time it takes...

http://www.usna.edu/IR/htmls/lead/database/cohort6/c06_gonzalez.pdf Interesting. How would the USNA's major influence this? Would an Aero Engineer get a significant advantage over a Math, or an English?

I received an appointment in December. Do I still submit a mid-year report/transcript? How would I go about doing so? Also, is there anything that I need to submit other than the papers that came in the BFE? Thanks!

Heres what I found, just in case anyone was wondering: http://www.med.navy.mil/sites/navmedmpte/nomi/nami/arwg/documents/waiver%20guide%20-%20physical%20standards.pdf So the worst uncorrected eyesight a F/A-18 pilot could have is 20/40-0? Or am I reading this wrong?

Does anyone know how selective it is to get a pilot slot? I know that for 2011, 227 were given pilot, But are there prerequisites? For example, I'm planning on majoring in Chemistry or General Science. Would that put me in a disadvantage when competing against a Aero Engineer major for the slot?

Does anyone know: 1. How many people are typically selected for Nuke school? 2. What are the requirements for selection? 3. Among the people that go through, how many go to Subs vs. Aircraft Carriers? 4. Is Chemistry a good major for this option? I was told at NASS that if you are...

Hey everyone, I wanted to start a thread just to see how everyone was preparing for Plebe Summer. Just post your ideas! Mine: 500 pushups a day, everyday for Christmas break. Doesnt have to be at once, go for sets of 25-50 (Goal: 10000 Pushups before school starts again)

So I got a LOA dated Oct 4, and DODMERB said "Subagency: NALOA" Then I got a nomination from Senator, which is the only thing that the LOA said I needed. Now I'm expecting an appointment. I just checked DODMERB, and "Subagency: NALOA" is gone. :confused: Nothing has changed from Oct 4, to...

I received an LOA contingent solely on a nomination, and a couple of minutes ago I was told that I received Senator Nelson's (FL) nomination. Does this mean I'm in? Just checking to make sure I'm not kidding myself here :biggrin:

Is Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University a good choice for Naval Aviation? I want to become a pilot, and I've had my heart set on the Naval Academy. I just got a NROTC scholarship to ERAU, and I'm considering it. Is it better to go to ERAU, or USNA to become a pilot in the Navy? Meaning, is...

In FL 24, there were only 6 people (including me) that had an interview with my Congresswoman, who submits a slate of unranked candidates to USNA. Does that mean: A) That all 6 of us will receive a nomination? and B) That since I have a LOA contingent on a nomination, I will receive an...

I know about the bubblewrap procedure until I-Day. However, Plebe Summer is physically demanding. What if one gets injured during Plebe Summer? Hypothetically, what if a kids shoulder is doing some strange stuff; he could do 101 pushups for the PFT in two min, but he cant make a throwing...

Hi everyone, I received a LOA on Oct 4th. However, prior to that, my BGO suggested I retake the SAT. (I got a 1210 [650M,560R] first time, 1400[760M, 640R] second time) And he suggested I retake it to extrapolate the scores, since there was such an increase between the first and second. So...

Hey all, I just received an LoA from Annapolis dated 4 OCT 2010. It is contingent on receiving a nomination, and I saw that it was also copied to my nominating sources. My first interview is the 14th (Sen. LeMieux) and I want to nail it; does anyone know what questions they ask? And if I do...
