Check out Stew Smith's "The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness: 12 Weeks to BUD/S" and "The Navy SEAL Weight Training Workout." Stew Smith is a graduate of the Naval Academy and former Navy SEAL, and he's a genius when it comes to training.

I apologize for just now responding, but this thread rang a bell in my head a few days ago, and I figured I should respond to give an update on my situation and to close this open door. First and foremost, I ended up deciding to stop the enlistment process and chose to attend Texas A&M...

I just checked my DoDMERB page a few minutes ago, and my page has changed just like yours! Strange..I wonder why it changed...

I have searched the forums about going from enlisted to USNA, but I have a different situation. Allow me to explain: Here were my plans as of last week: - Plan A: USNA - Plan B: 4-year NROTC Scholarship - Plan C: Enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps For Plan A, I have been deemed Triple...

When I saw the original post, I visited the the USNA Admissions page. The following information was posted: "The Office of Admissions will not offer any public briefings on Thursday, January 31. We apologize for the inconvenience. January 31 is the deadline for receipt of nominations. The...

My Plan First of all, Congratulations on being offered an appointment to the Naval Academy! I am an applicant to USNA Class of 2017, but I have not received an offer of appointment. However, I am physically preparing for whatever may come my way--whether it be USNA (hopefully!) or NROTC. I...

I started a facebook page for all of those who applied for NASS 2012 a few months ago, and now that acceptance letters are going out I figured I'd invite y'all to the page. We've talked about nominations, CFA, NASS, etc. It's a place for the Class of 2017 to talk about the steps of the USNA...

http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/steps.htm Step-by-step guide through the USNA Application process. Let me know if you have any questions.

How often does a MIDN take the PRT while at the Academy? EDIT: Scratch that.. just found this quote from usna.edu: "Midshipmen as well as all active duty Navy personnel take the Physical Readiness Test twice a year."

Good point, kinnem. You make a great point, and the competitiveness of my area shouldn't even matter since either way it's a competition. Thank you for your knowledge and encouragement.

Does anyone know how competitive Texas is, and especially Congressional District 5, as far as the number and quality of applicants? I know Texas is a big state but I'm not sure if there are a ton of applicants to USNA

Has anyone received any acceptance/denial letters? I know it's only been 2 weeks since the NASS application opened, but I was curious if USNA had already sent some letters out.

Just accepted you! Thanks.
