Don't forget that the mission of the academy is to "...graduate leaders who are dedicated to a CAREER of naval service...". Granted every comissioning track wants the officers they are molding to be committed enough to stay in but USNA has a bit of an advantage in instilling this in the...

majority rules! stay off of it, LOTS of icing ( 20 on 20 off tends to be the typical sports medicine analysis). If you have been maintaining good physical shape, you won't get out of shape within a week. Just don't forget about your push ups. And enjoy the final week with family and friends.

Alpha Company 1st Platoon. Front of the line baby!!!

I believe your platoon number later becomes your company number for the academic year. For example, 30th platoon becomes 30th company.

Whistle pig has it correct. The academies want the best of the best to be our future military officers.

You shouldn't have to register online with ncaa because I believe that is only to register to be scouted. There should have been an eligibility card in your permit to report package.

I would just like to say kudos to the OP, sren. If you are taking the time to join this forum and do research for your future mid, you must be a great girlfriend!!! Good luck finding the perfect gift idea.

What is the best way to carry in any paperwork or extra documentation on I-Day?

It is apparent that in certain areas there is a lack of knowledge about the service academies in certain areas, but you can bet your britches that when an appointee is presented their appointment by their BGO, ALO, etc. And they say how much the "scholarship" value of the appoinment is...

IMHO, for simplicity sake, if you are the "conditioning captain" then I would think you are still considered a leader aka captain. I understand some team choose to not specifically name name a captain for various reasons but I think in this situation that this is how you should apply it...

I wouldn't say hide your scores, but if you are not sure if your score will end up where you would like it then I would suggest on sending the scores later once you have received them. May be an extra fee, but at that point if it ends up being a good score its worth it.

Obviously each situation is different, but in general, you must assume that this is for good reason more than anything. The academy is taking young, successful men and women and molding them into LEADERS OF CHARACTER above all else. Can you honestly put the administration at fault for letting...

You are correct. I was merely asking to comment with the same perspective that you gave, anything with DoDMERB depends on the severity. Early in my application I had to receive a waiver for earwax, yes earwax, even though my hearing was fine. In this situation it was easy to receive a waiver...

If you don't sharing, what are you having to get waived?

Varsity try-outs Do all sports have their try-out during plebe summer, or is it dependent upon the season the sport is played?

There are approximately 6-7 questions in each section. Each section is a little different. Anybody else choose to not try the calculus validation exam online? I am currently taking calculus this semester and thought it would be a waste to try and validate a course I have not completed

Thank goodness for greased Herndon! Let it stay that way always and forever!!!

Are there any kind of reprocussions if you get a tattoo after you have done the acceptance paperwork? or do you just need to go through the steps (send in photo, etc.) with the review board to have it passed? Particularly with something that is religious.

Are these running groups within each company or with the entire plebe class?

Anyone received or know when PTR packages should be sent out?
