    Plebe Summer Advice

    Hey guys, this is all varying advice. I just finished up my Plebe Year and I came up with a list that I gave to one of my friends who is going to the Coast Guard Academy this Summer as a Swab. I put some lessons that I learned in here that not only apply to Plebe Summer but also to Plebe Year as...

    Will NAPS send out Company Assignments or do we get them during Plebe Summer?

    Sorry no. NAPS doesn't give you your Company assignments until you get there. Its not bad though.

    Spring Break Honor: A Mother's Letter About CGA Cadets

    I met all of these gentlemen at the USCGA AIM 2009 Summer Program. They were great role models and exemplified the core values of the Coast Guard. I wouldn't expect any less from these fine future officers. Way to go Mr. Cinque, Mr. Salerno, and Mr. Valencia.

    I was wondering what they physical requirments are to become a Marine Corps Pilot and if they were specific to the type of aircraft you were assigned to fly? (Rotary or Fixed Wing)

    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 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...

    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...

They have to wear a "Red Badge of Courage", give up their ID's, cell phone, and liberty and are made to do the...

    Definetly. Your Company Officers are there to help you answer questions and they will or they will send you to someone they know can give you the answer. Same goes for the SEL's assigned to each company. (SEL - Senior Enlisted Leader) You can also talk to other officers at other schools if you...

    That's a good question. NAPS life is very structured. Indoc is basically boot camp. You live in shorts and a t shirt for about a month and are under the instruction of your detailers from the USNA. But once this is over, NAPSters are in charge of NAPSters. The transisition can be rough but it...

    Thanks guys. Just trying to help the future NAPSters out. Oh biggest chunk of advice: DON'T GIVE UP. Seriously, there will be days, Note: Not just one, but several where YOU WILL want to sign your DOR papers and turn them into your SEL. I had one of those yesterday. My platoon is super lazy and...

    Sorry I've been slow to reply. Finals have kept me and the Batallion busy but I'll try to respond more once they are over. Yes I am a student at NAPS and Indoc begins during the last week of July. Note: DO NOT SHOW UP EARLY. If you do this, you will make a bad impression on the staff and you do...
