The other two CGAS schools are Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, GA, and Marion Military Institute in Marion, AL. NAPS is the third in Newport, RI. Not sure how true it is, but I've been told more of the competitive athletes go to NAPS. Also NAPS is a on an actual military base; "Naval...

Congrats. If you have the Georgia HOPE you may want to try your best to get to GMC, where HOPE money can be applied. You pay for your CGAS prep year out of your E-2 USCG pay, and GA HOPE obviously lessens the amount you pay, hence more money in your pocket.

You report to the Academy during the summer for a few weeks of indoc, where you swear in and paid as an E-2. Students who accept the scholarship enlist in the Coast Guard for a two year contract as an E-2, receiving all the pay and benefits. The Coast Guard Academy is responsible for tuition...

I was originally going to submit for RA, but one of the admissions officers visited the school I am at for self-prep and encouraged me to apply for EA. So I got everything in 16 Oct 2021, all LORs were already in. I guess I'll know soon enough,,,EA, deferred to RA.

After you login to https://uscga.askadmissions.net/vip/Default.aspx The lower right quadrant of the main page is called "Application Checklist" At the bottom of the list there is a section called "Status" Status ☑️ Application Complete - Ready for Review 🔲 Cadet Candidate Evaluation...
