i believe there is no limitation on how many may apply, but a limit on how many may be in attendance at the academy- up to 65. class of 2023 had 77 nominations in "Children of Deceased/Disabled Vets, POW, MIA" category, where the presidential had 790. the chances are 100 out 790 or 16 out 77.

I didn't see pictures of plebes wearing the wristbands. And it will be interesting to know where OP saw them. We were looking at Alumni Association albums, and the wristbands were hanging on water bottles together with hand sanitizer

We were very curios what the wristbands say and after zooming in few photos and putting it together piece by piece - finally got it! ”get comfortable being uncomfortable” at least that what it says on platoon B bands.

hey! my daughter is in the same shoes, and my son was a plebe last year, so she is all about packages and letters. i am sure she would be happy to connect with you to share tips and experiences. i think you need about 5 posts to send a private message, and if you are interested, please PM me...

Academy Insider has all the info. i learned so much. Thank you Grant! looking forward to more blogs. So each "number" has ~40 plebes, and each "letter" has ~80 plebes. You number will become your ac company number after the plebe summer.

i am so glad you found the videos! actually, my son is the squad leader and i was looking for pictures of him, haha. i will ask him if he made some and make sure he shared them with the candidates!

i am looking for pictures as well. found only few on the FB admission page. there are fun videos from today's sea trials on the usnavalacademy instragram story, only available 24 hours, and they will probably be adding more throughout the day.

Congrats to the class of 2022 for completing sea trials and 14th Company for winning Iron Company! :rockon:Good luck at the Herndon climb.

give your counselor a heads-up before providing the email

have you completed a preliminary application?

my son checked in with the phone, charger and the papers that he had to bring with him. BAD IDEA! he was given a ziploc bag and he had to fit all the clothes he had on him in that bag (hoodie, shirt, shorts). so BRING an EMPTY BAG! LOL

from my son's observations, evenly spread boys/girls and states, everything else is left to chance

Actually, someone I know- who was waitlisted on apr 8 -got an appointment this morning! Very excited!

My son had a Children of Deceased or Disabled Veterans nomination, but I reported as "presidential." It was last year, he is class of 2022 now. Best luck to your daughter!

indecisive class of 2023
