You wear it on your back in school uniform. On those rare days you're in a dress uniform, you'll have to carry it.

I will be a detailer for NASS this year, and I went went back in 2010. If you guys have any questions about anything at all, let me know. It's a great time.

You have to mess up pretty bad. But if you have an offer to a military academy, it's not worth pushing the limit. Just do your best. They don't want to see you slacking, but a C isn't going to kill you.

Ya don't worry about I day. You're going to get yelled out a thousand times but they won't even remember it. Neither will you. Good luck.

you're completely fine. You really have to mess up to get revoked. Just accelerate to the finish and don't worry.

NASS is for you, not the Academy. Ya, they do evaluations and stuff, but they really don't mean all that much unless you get a bad one (which rarely happens). If the academy offered you NASS, then they're already interested. NASS is just supposed to convince you to go. Don't sweat it if...

Unfortunately, Latin isn't really counted as course credit. My roommate (a genius, top 5% of my class) took Latin and didn't get course credit. But don't let language worry you. Engineers don't have to take any language, group 2 majors only need 2 semesters, and group 3 need 4. The good news...

Dudes, don't sweat your grades too hard as long as you're doing your best. I stressed way too much my senior year, and as long as you don't seriously destroy your GPA, I'm talking D's or like straight C's or something, you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll be like me, who worried all senior year...

just come with dressy-casual attire. Maybe khakis. Jeans are "ok," but remember you aren't visiting a regular college. Honestly, it's not a big deal because the officers don't evaluate you; your plebe that you stay with does and they almost always just give you the highest score (it's what I...

The application is the first step of the weeding process. The Academy has a great poker face when it comes to this. They were dead silent with me until one day a big packet came in the mail with my appointment.

Don't stress too much about the CFA... but just for a point of reference, the PRT (physical readiness test, we take it every semester) maximums are 101 pushups, 101 situps, 8:15 mile and a half. The PRT actually is a considerable factor in your rankings and such, and if you want to be a marine...

Hey SaiLax- I'm M/24

Thank you for the info! Jack- I'll see you in the pool.

I've recieved an appointment to USNA and I want to play water polo there. If anybody has any information about the program, schedules, tryout process, etc., it would be MUCH appreciated.

From what I know, and I've spoken to quite a few people about the DODMERB, many people get DQ's that are easily waived. Just follow the instructions for your follow-ups and he should be fine.
