The SOP is three minutes. Practice holding it for 3:30-4:00 minute intervals with a minute break in between.

How was the week after PPW? I know there is already a thread going about it but wanted to hear from someone who just experienced it directly. Hell-o night? What were your favorite and least favorite parts of plebe summer? Do you work out with the entire brigade or just your company? Are classes difficult, and do you have an idea what you want your major to be?
Does earning awards in girl scouts help your chances of getting in?
What tips do you have for nomination essays? Ex. Should they tell a story? Getting them done? Etc.
Conversely, there is a ton of stress in each evolution. Stress that I imagine won't dissipate the entire time that I'm in the Navy/Marine Corps. The worst part for me was having a combination of homesickness, stress, inability to communicate with those who propped me up previously in life, being overwhelmed constantly, and possessing extreme fatigue (I learned that I am able to fall asleep while standing at attention)
I understand what is recited during chow calls but I don't get *how* they are done. Do all the plebes do it together at one time? Do they do it one after another? Do some recite to one group of upper class and others
recite to another set of upper class? Are certain plebes picked at random to recite on any given day?
It seems like it would take a ton of time for everyone if every plebe to participate three times a day every day.
All the musical groups/clubs receive music chits so they can listen to music in company area. Beyond that you can definitely listen to the music you make.There's a rule of no music for plebes but does that extend to playing personal musical instruments?

Plebes usually make a schedule for chow calls in designated spots. There are catches to it... You never leave a classmate to be flamed on (yelled at) by themselves and some companies may require all Plebes to do chow calls so they would be broken up into different company spots. It's very early in the academic year so companies are still finding their routine. Chow calls are normally done for mandatory formations and/or meals. Dinner usually isn't mandatory nor has a mandatory formation (not sure the current routine, but usually there is 1-2 mandatory dinners a week). The officers and meals get very repetitive so Plebes catch on to them quickly. I graduated awhile ago and could still do a lightening fast chow call with the exact meals we had from back in the day... That is how engrained they get. Chow calls become second nature and boring very quickly.
Just the person I've been looking for! What do you consider average? Do you mind elaborating? My DS has very average test scores which he is working on improving. He has all the EC's,varsity sport, club president, Eagle Scout and goes to a highly competitive school. The SAT seems to be the setback. He went to Stem and CVW and had an opportunity to meet a lot of great "average" Plebes. What do you think made you stand out? Any advice for the average test taker?I am also a plebe, and I would be willing to answer questions. I'm a direct, I went to both STEM and NASS, and I feel like I represent a very average plebe here; which is good for the purposes of this thread.
