Send NAPS Questions This Way

In this class of NAPS the Priors make up 5% of the Batallion and they are helpful and important to the Batallion. I honestly wish there were more Priors here because they help us (non Priors) out so much with all aspects of life at NAPS such as Indoc, academics, athletics, health,ect.
I haven't heard of a Prior choosing NROTC after NAPS instead of going to USNA but I would come up to NAPS and visit before making the decision to come here or talk to other Priors who have been or are at NAPS.
 
hi! im a little new, but my status on DoDmerb suddenly has a new addition:

SubAgency: APNAP

What exactly does this mean?
 
What about a schedule of the 3 weeks when they first get there as the Naval Academy calls in Plebe summer not sure what its called for NAPS?

The first three weeks is called INDOC and the schedule for that isn't really structured. It is boot camp. Plain and simple.

Ok my daughter wasn't sure if there was a schedule the 3 weeks of boot camp for I doc do you think its anything like USNA and how do you feel about having to kind of do it again? It would be cool to hear what you think once you go though it over at USNA!!!

Priors have to extend their current contract by two years if my memory is correct. If a prior decides to leave NAPS before graduation, they are returned to the fleet and usually not to their prior command.
 
This might in some other thread, but I can't find it.

So what percentages of NAPS students actually end up going to USNA afterwards?

I feel okay about doing it again. It's just something I have to do to get to becoming a Midshipman and an Officer in the Marine Corps or the Navy. The only difference is that its 7 weeks instead of 3 but it should be easier because NAPS has already put me through alot of the "shock" period the high schoolers are going to go through.
I'll keep you all posted though once September comes aroun though.:smile:

Roughly I'd say anywhere from Low 80%- High 90%. It depends on the Voluntary and Involuntary Dismissal of Midshipman Candidates per class as well as those who complete NAPS but decide to not attend the USNA.
 
I'm new to this as well. I got accepted to NAPS November 4. Does anyone know when INDOC will begin?
 
NAPS calendar for the next class has not been published yet. You can plan for last week of July/first week of August as a good time frame though.
 
Has anyone gotten any paper work back yet after sending in acceptance letter???
 
I have not received anything as well. When I called the Admissions Office they told me that we would be receiving papers in mid-April or sometime in the Spring.
 
Typically the next paperwork you would get will be a letter advising you of the Candidate Information Packet being available for download and the link for that. This is usually not available until after the current class graduates and this year that is June 4th so I would not look for it before then but each year is always just a little different.
 
why would someone go to NAPS and then decide not to go to USNA. Didn't they get into NAPS because they were lacking one thing but they showed admissions that USNA is deep down their place in this world?
 
Just as there are those that get appointments to USNA and once there decide that for whatever reason that was not the best fit for their life, the same is true at NAPS. It does happen and there will be those that will DOR from NAPS through the year and those that will complete the year but decide to move on to a traditional college or they have decided that they no longer want to be an officer and will enlist.

It's the same thing for USMAPS and the answer is: they didn't like the lifestyle after living in the life for a year, not for them.
 
I read that there about 300 people that go to NAPS. I also heard that about 92% get into USNA. Are these true?
