Thank you!

Not sure about other states, but in Washington we have a high school program called Running Start which allows juniors and seniors to attend a community college while in high school for no charge. If they go full time both years, they can graduate high school with their associates degree...

Today, March 21, 2017, there are exactly 100 days left until I Day on June 29 for the class of 2021!

By cadets I meant members of my NJROTC Unit. And yes ma'am, he was just joking around with the NFO vs. Naval Aviator business. I still have a lot to read about before I decide to commit to a community...

My Senior Naval Science Instructor, a retired captain and pilot, is no stranger to sending cadets to the Academy. Upon meeting him last year when I first moved, I heard that I was his fourth or fifth cadet receiving an appointment in his six years so far teaching here! Upon talking to him for...

If you weren't good enough you'd have already received a rejection. You aren't out until you're out. It truly is just a big waiting game. Keep yourself occupied by working on Plan Bs. If you end up actually getting accepted, rather than worrying around use this time to enjoy yourself!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

102)gonavyusna / Self / LOA Feb. 3, 2017 / Appt. Feb. 15, 2017 / Not Yet Accepted / WA-06/ Senatorial, Congressional, NJROTC, and Pres. I expect to accept very soon! Crazy how behind each of the appointments on this list there is an individual candidate with their own story. Between my father...

(I was rejected from the NASS last year, but I received my LOA last month and my appointment two weeks after) A GREAT thing to start is just before he goes to bed or when he first wakes up is to do a small pushup and situp set. Nothing big, just 15 pushups and however many curlups he can do at...

Oh my goodness. I am completely embarrassed and sincerely apologize that I made such an abrupt assumption. Thank you so much for the help but once again I apologize.

Thank you sir. Do you know the phone call policy during Plebe Summer? Is it once a week for a few minutes?

I've seen many videos on Yoututbe titled "Semester 1 at the Academy" or "Sea Trials" GoPro style, often appearing from the point of view of Plebes. My mother is an avid photography hobbyist, particularly to my sports and other activities (of course) and now with less than 4 months to I day she's...

Thank you! I'll be looking into those as well. If I choose to do ultimate frisbee for my intramural, will I still end up at some point be playing basketball, football, or anything else?

Thank you so much for the speedy reply! During plebe summer and just your academic year overall, were ball sports a part of the physical fitness regime? I guess now my question would be: I have not yet contacted the Naval Academy about trying to swim or run track there. Is there a possibility...

I received an appointmet just today to the Naval Academy, with my LoA arriving on just the second of this month. Though I am very physically active (preparing for State Swim Championships coming this weekend, among others) I have no experience in ball sports (basketball, baseball, volleyball...
