Are midshipmen active duty? Are they enlisted? What exactly are they listed as? Do they get military discounts?
They do get Military ID and discounts at certain venues (Wiliamsburg and Tampa Busch Gardens are free for them). As LITS said they are in a LIMBO situation.
Hi
Am I correct that when they commission it is a 2nd L with 4 years of services? This makes their starting pay higher?????
Regards
John

To qualify for O1E-O3E pay, one must serve for four years and one day on active duty as a warrant officer (not applicable for those at an SA) or enlisted or a certain amount of reserve points (probably not applicable for those at an SA) PRIOR TO attending the SA.
The difference (O1-O3 vs. O1E-O3E) is approximately $800 a month for O1-O2/O1E-O2E and $500 for O3/O3E based on the CY 2013 pay chart.
Anyone know the discharge status during the first 2 years @ USNA? Does it change after signing 2-for-7? Talking voluntary separation, not being booted.
