Is the Department of Naval Science papers/package supposed to be kept separate from other documents in another envelope? How is everything supposed to beofficially organized?

Perhaps a weird question. Any advice on how to survive plebe year? This is often said to be the hardest academy to graduate from. How do you stay sane? Is there any time at all to relax and recharge, even just briefly? Maybe occasional visits NYC? I know plebes/MIDN are extremely busy and that...

If it's the same as USNA, does that mean that they go to Leatherneck? If so, when do MIDN at USMMA do Leatherneck? How long is Leatherneck for MIDN at USMMA?

Just curious, does anyone know how the option to commission in the Marines works at KP? Do they go through OCS after graduation? PLC due to the crazy Kings Point schedule? Or Leatherneck? I thought Leatherneck was for USNA. Do MIDN join USNA for Leatherneck? Also how is it determined which...

Good news, got a call today with an appointment from the Academy based off the email! Was told to wait roughly 48 hours before it will show up in the portal, but to definitely check on Monday if it's not there. So it appears that the mass email sent yesterday was not a hoax and appears to be...

Thank you so much!

I can login now too but it still says hold. Really hoping to verify the appointment soon.

Seems like I can login now, but the phone numbers to call the Academy don't seem to work. Anybody got any ideas why?
