Hi, I was wondering if you would know any changes to how NAPS will be this year in regards to the 2 week quarantine before the original in doc day?

Some offices do not require diplomas because schools may be unable to give them in time. Please call your local office to see if they require diploma. My office only needs a transcript with my date of graduation.

It is one of the Required Actions on a NAPSter's CIS page : "Must enlist in the Naval Reserve". Although there may be some confusion, one of the invited presentations from Chief Bland clarified that NAPSters are not under traditional enlistment terms. They are within the NAPS Midshipmen...

Sounds like they are familiar with the process. You also must be sure that they are helping your DD with the required actions for NAPS only when you visit them. This means that your DD will not need to take the ASVAB or a medical exam at MEPS.

Yes, you are correct about NAPSters needing to enlist into the Navy Reserve under their midshipman program as a NAPS candidate. No need to apologize. It is essential that you contact or visit your LOCAL Navy Recruiter Office. Explain to them that you need help with the NAPS process. Some...

The NAPS informational page was updated with the new report dates and information. It will be between July 15 and July 16 but the candidate will be emailed with their scheduled time to report. Please check the website for yourself.

From other threads that I have read, I believe NAPS candidates are characters with strong potential leadership that may be unsatisfactory but have potential in an area such as academics, physical capability, or one of the many unknown factors of the selection process of admissions. We cannot...

Exploring the USNA Physical Education Department, I found that there is an updated Plebe Summer Training Plan. This is different from the previous plan. This plan also holds information on the updated PRT with it's minimums/max posted on the PDF: "For your information, the maximum (and...

The forms for enlistment have been updated and are found on the NAPS Info page, not in the portal directly. I am from the NYC area; my local recruiters office has been advised to send me to another office in June where I can then enlist with someone familiar with the NAPS process. Please call...

Hi! Did you take Math, Physics, and English, etc. in high school? What happens to those who did not take some classes of these in high school? Thanks for answering questions, I know many will find it very helpful!

Remember to reach out to Admissions if you have any further questions! Please do not worry as they are there to help!

I was curious about the placement tests. I am an incoming NAPSter but I have not taken Physics or Chemistry in high school. What would happen if I were to fail the placement tests? How will that affect the rest of the year?

From my Admissions Officer, the NAPS informational package will be sent in May. This includes the Authorization to Enlist. You will NEED your High School Diploma to enlist into the Naval Reserve. I was just PMing a 2019-2020 NAPSTER and they stressed that NAPS is extremely physically demanding...

I like the sound of it! May I ask why do you like robotics engineering?

Just curious as I revisited a video about Ford's factory exoskeleton which you can find on Youtube if you're interested as well. It was more specific and practical for mechanical labor but I am learning that others are developing exoskeletons for search and rescue applications. What do you...
