    CFA Question

    To the OP: A good way to increase your pull-ups is to change the way you train a bit. Try this out to up your up your count. Do this set twice through: 1 pullup.. drop, wait 15 seconds 2 pullups.. drop, wait 15 seconds 3 pullups.. drop, wait 15 seconds. 4 pullups.. drop, wait 30...

    mental troubles

    It's completely normal to feel that way after sending in the acceptance. For about 3 weeks after I sent mine in I felt frightened, regret, and like renegging. (See thread "Second Thoughts" you'll get a reality check and realize USNA is the place to be). But listen.. I did some soul searching...

    Swimming at the Naval Academy

    I'd be willing to try and start a Club Swimming team at Navy. Not sure if it will be as easy as it is to start something at a civilian college, but hey, I know there are a lot of us who had some decent swimming careers in high school and want to continue without that D1 obligation-- or maybe...

    Second Thoughts

    Hahaha you kill me Spud. Very appropriate post. Thank you for the help, all of you. It really means a lot and has helped tremendously at this point. For what it's worth, I'm more confident then when I started the thread and I know I want to be a part of USNA. Second thoughts and doubts will...

    Second Thoughts

    Well Spud, I'm afraid my decision (and anyone else's in my shoes) is a bit more complicated than my "wimpiness." Everyone knows it's a tough transition from civilian college to a service academy; that is my point. I am by no means anything you said here. I re-applied while still experiencing a...

    Second Thoughts

    This is a great point and I have considered this as well, and am truly soul-searching to see if this is something I can be passionate about and want to do. I want to make sure it is the correct choice. @Kinnem--I'm in college, 6 hour drive away from home. I have no problem keeping up with...

    Second Thoughts

    Thanks 1964. Just having many thoughts at this point and not entirely sure about it and the lack of time at home. The 4 weeks in the summer, 2 for xmas, 1 for spring break, and 4 days or so for thanksgiving really make me wonder if I'm ready to dedicate my life to the Navy for these next 9 years...

    Second Thoughts

    Is it possible to "reneg" if one has already sent in their acceptance? I'm wondering if it's possible and if it does in fact happen. If indeed possible, is it the regional director that must be informed of the second thought and change of heart? How soon?

    Midyear Updates?

    We just finished the first semester at my school, so the new finalized class rankings will come out as well as midyear grades and what not. If my rank and grades are better, how do I go about informing USNA of these updated credentials? Do I have to contact my RD, or just have my Guidance...

    What to bring on a CVW

    I just did a CVW this past weekend, and I brought way more than I needed. Basically, bring a pair of gym shorts, about two pairs of sweatpants, three or so t-shirts, and I found that my North Face was my savior. Being winter and walking around a lot with my plebe, a nice zip up coat or jacket...

    Everything in my application has been completed by say.. around the end of September, early October. This includes everything but the nomination. Both of my SAT scores were also sent, and the best that they recieved were 640 Math and 630 Verbal. My question is, is 1270 competitive enough that...
