Current plebe. Does anyone have any advice on how to get IWC/Intel without being medically DQed? GPA recommendation? What are other major factors to put yourself in a good position to be selected into the RL community? If your son/daughter have done so, what did they do? Is lat transferring the...

I saw the recent post from Plebe2be and how he/she got through PS and was doubting at first, got through it all and enjoyed it. On the other hand, I was excited at the start, and by the end of it I just wanted to be done with the place. We’re on parents weekend now and I just want to be done and...

Hello, I am a CO 27 incoming plebe and I’m wondering what I should do with a seeming case of shin splints before plebe summer. I’ve been doing plenty of running training (30 miles last week) and after my last run I stretched like usual and I noticed some tenderness along the inside of my shins...

Just a question regarding walk ons and recruits. How does this affect them at service academies since there is no such thing as scholarship like other colleges? Is it basically everyone becomes a walk on with no guarantees/loyalty like it could have been with the previous coaches?

Hello, I am wondering if I should take my AP exam in statistics. I am planning on majoring in computer science, and I believe that would not be useful to my major because the matrix online says I will not take the class the exam validates.. I know that USNA validates statistics, but is it worth...

Hello, I am asking this for a friend that is applying to USNA to clarify and help him. He received a senator nomination for West Point but for some reason his district coordinator said it counts for all academies which I believe is not correct. He ultimately wants to go to the Naval Academy but...

To clarify, I am talking about how the professors teach you and how you are expected to learn at the Naval Academy versus the Thayer method. Is it the same where you are expected to read everything you need to learn before class?

I know about the thayer method and how it’s used at USMA but I’m curious on the learning style at Navy? Thanks

100% skip travel ball to go to a camp.

Interesting! I think he has a solid chance at getting recruited, but with those academic stats he seems well off getting into USNA without! I am a catcher too and I can tell you USNA over USMA for him is the right choice (baseball perspective). USMA is bringing in 7 catchers, granted some of...

I actually think as a sports player it isn't bad to cross SAs in athletics. The baseball coach told me he still respects Army but he'd rather be at Navy. Being dedicated to service regardless of where you end at is a desired trait SA coaches wish to see. Also, recruiting standards is likely...

Where does your son play, and what are his general numbers like? (exit velo, pitching velo, 60 time, high school stats, all that stuff) I could give some insight if its worth it to go spend a lot of time and money at a camp soon.

I posted an extensive reply but it says it is under review. Hopefully, it will be approved soon.

It is because you haven't been a member long enough. Send an email to both assistant coaches. Their HC has not responded to any of my previous emails so don't be surprised if you send one and he does not respond. Coach Reilly responded to my email within a day and asked to call me the next day...

I am a likely Navy walk-on baseball player (current HS senior) and I have gone through this process and I can help more in detail if you would like to DM me. I am also in contact with Navy baseball coaches so I can recommend how to get in touch. Have your SON email the coaches. The best way to...
