I just learned I'll have a family member up here for Herndon on May 15th.
I've heard you're typically pretty shot afterwards, but could anyone share with me what the rest of the day after the climb looks like? Do you get an overnight or town libo?
Thanks
Should wallet be in shorts back pocket or in a ziploc big in the bigger bag?
I especially ask since I plan to have my SS card in my wallet and didn't know if I would need it at some point throughout processing where I might not have my bags.
My assumption is that anything in your pockets is...
I was blessed to be able to do NASS last year and did all of the cool sea trial stuff like the IBS rafting in the Severn, etc.
It made me laugh recently to see on social media that west point added boat crews to their SLE. Just trying to compare I assume...
Since this time around it is only a reference for later in the USNA career do we need to fill out the Social Scuirity number blank on the bottom of every one hundred and something pages? Some things like that feel like they could be done later for the real attempt. Then again some pages need to...
A few questions I didn't see in the instructions or PTR.
For "Service/Civilian category" what branch do I put or do I put civilian?
Do I put USNA as Duty Station?
Do I fill out the boxes for "military only" on the form? (as opposed to civilian contractors who leave them blank)
I wasn't sure...
I believe it is unusual that they even mention the colleges students are attending at a graduation. Most schools I do not think do that. Ours did not allow graduation toppers or any other ornaments as well. My assumption is that Graduation is less personal and an event more for the class then...
Does anyone know the protocol from bringing braces retainers?
I have one that I am supposed to wear nightly. Will there be any difficulty keeping it with me on I-Day?
It sounds like clothes wise the only thing we need to even consider bringing are compression shorts and underwear.
Issued underwear are "White Jockey Style Briefs"
If we brought White Boxer briefs could we wear these? I assume the color must be white but not sure about style.
Also looks like...
Regarding the PTR email it does not have time for I Day.
You will receive separate correspondence at a later date with your Permit to Report letter, which will have the exact day and time at which you shall report.
Of course!
If I am right I now know that the email will be coming out on May 1st, for anyone wondering.
Per USNA:
ALCON, On Monday, May 1st, all candidates who have accepted an offer to attend USNA or NAPS will be sent a copy of the Permit to Report (PtR) Package via email. The PtR contains...
You're right about that..but that was what made it worthwhile for me.
It was a great oppurtunity to learn how to function in a platoon. We had enlisted or Ret. enlisted sailors and marines as our Platoon leaders.
I really enjoyed it and it helped me with leading a JROTC unit. But if you aren't...
I went to leadership academy when faced with this decision. Noted, I think it helped me get CO of my JROTC unit and that probably had more bearing than Boys State would have.
Got top cadet for NC and SC, and was a platoon commander while there. Those things might have helped make it more...
