Looking at the final tally following Service Assignment, I believe the most impressive number is lack of attrition seen despite all that has transpired. June 28, 2018, in Alumni Hall, all of us Plebe parents were shown a slide showing the Class of 2022 Profile. Class Size: 1,199 U.S. +14...

Any idea where to send packages?

Let me start this post with my hope for a plebe summer to start on it's intended date: 25 June....but...I have my reservations. Our oldest son, who is going to be a Plebe detailer this summer has been home with us since mid-March. As much as he is able, he has kept us in the loop as to all the...

If USNA is not allowing travel outside the continental United States (OCONUS), then MIDN who live in Hawaii will be unable to come home for Spring Break. Glad my son decided to go to Colorado with some of his company-mates. Otherwise, may have been a huge disappointment. Same holds for those...

Congratulations on your appointments. Being from HI, must have had a Presidential nom as the congressional delegation had not submitted their slates by the time you received your appointments. Sounds like you will excel at either place and I wish you all the best in you journey. Keep us...

Congratulations! Another from HI....

My son also volunteered at our local aviation museum and was able to meet Veteran's three generations removed. He truly loved the time he spent there and only reinforced his desire to serve in the military in some way. He learned a lot from not only volunteering, but becoming friends with...

Yes...we were there waiting to grab a last glimpse of our Plebe walking up Stribling into Bancroft and remember it taking a long while. Now I know why. Lessons learned by all, plebes and detailers alike.

Thank you so much for this information. Greatly appreciated.

DS in the process of contacting the unit directly, but was wondering if the AROTC 4-year scholarship to be applied to a UC school in California pays for in-state or out-of-state tuition. We are not CA residents and the difference is quite substantial. Anyone with any knowledge, please share as...

I would have the mindset that any district YOU are applying from to be competitive. You can only control your metrics...so push hard, put your best effort into your application, and sleep well knowing you did all you could to gain a nomination that leads to an appointment. Best to you and your...

Have a look at the source. Here is the validation criteria for USNA. AP scores play a big role in validation of some courses. Validation should not be the driver, in my opinion, but success at the Academy and beyond--as has been previously mentioned...
