    2015 Ship Selection

    I hope everyone enjoyed the show, it will probably be on youtube eventually if you missed it. [My daughter] is off to Yokosuka after basket leave. One month at home and then USS Shiloh gets her until she gets qualified and then off to nuke school. What a ride, these kids are all amazing ...

    Anyone Wanting To Be/Have A Mid Should Watch The SWO Show Tomorrow

    A lot of kids dream about USNA, many parents too. Some parents are proud but unsure what the kids are getting into. After 4 years I am still proud and have come to accept my inability to be more the a support net work. I will be watching the live feed, not aviation, not sub mariner, not EOD...

    2015 Ship Selection

    On January 29 about 250 mids will select their first ship, my mid included. Last year there was a live feed available, it seemed like a ESPN football evening, interviews, explanations, it was great! I understand some parents missed their mid on stage during said interruptions and so the format...

    Defining Major

    Group 3 As said by many,"Poli-sci and fly!" Group 1 major, varsity sport? Ask the upper classes and pay attention to what you are told. Be pragmatic and choose the major that allows you to succeed at USNA. I have been told by my mid that English majors 5 and dive at a higher rate than any...

    Class of 2011 Early Outs?

    200 I got this number from a BGO. It may be wrong, a BGO has vaster resources than myself, perhaps more than others here on the board. The link from mongo was great.

    Class of 2011 Early Outs?

    Early outs, some of you saw some, knew a buddy, have a good idea how the navy manages the post USNA sailor. Do they still get GI bill? Some claim if you never got a service assignment you are out of luck. Is this a taboo subject? Many Non military parents on list serve were surprised when...

    Class of 2011 Early Outs?

    Camelot? USNA may not be Camelot, but it would be disingenuous to clump all mids being offered an early out as lazy. 200 from 2010 graduating class, from a BGO. Does anyone have any useful stats to shed light on this policy? Alumni must have been exposed to RIFs and early outs in the...

    Lack of Effort? "The vast majority of those who wash out of flight school do so due to lack of effort on their own part." It seems a disservice to any service academy grad to dismiss their failure in their chosen path as being lazy.After all the effort to get in, plebe summer, plebe year...

    200 200 does seem like a lot, came from a BG. Hard to verify unless you are in the know, navy does not tell us parents much. There are many companies that highly value service academy grads, several parents have stated their grads found jobs quickly after separation. Poly Sci and fly has...

    How Many Have Gone Home?

    USNA vs Civillian College College is tough but, USNA uses very different methods to acclimate their plebes. Some plebes were seriously hurt this summer, list serve is perhaps more frank about this because parents are sharing rather than recruiting. Our kids are already in, and once your...

    How Many Have Gone Home?

    No Smugness Here I started this thread so potential candidates could learn more about USNA. My plebe has not talked of coming home, although her room mate did leave last week. All the plebes in her company are affected, perhaps because maybe every one has had a tiny internal voice...
