    Service Selection Class of 2020 is Today

    I find this disrespectful to the SWO community. The origins and main focus of the Navy is ships. To say it is a default is a slap in the face to those who desire to serve in that community. My mid is thankful for the opportunity to be at USNA and is happy and willing to serve in whatever...

    Very disappointed in my alma mater. And they actually have thrown out all of the finalists and are starting the search over to capture more diverse candidates. My tax money at work....

    Current NAPSter, taking questions

    They don’t count for the following year. She has to reapply to all nom sources for which she is eligible. Try to get that done before I Day. (And she will have to submit proof of application to NAPS). Many congressmen/senators have abbreviated apps for prep students. And yes, it is a valuable...

    Anyone know what is allowed by academies for IUD's?

    My daughter reported to NAPS in 2015 having nexplanon. No issues. Was replaced last summer with no issues. USNA does not pay for nexplanon. They cover the pill and IUDs. One thing to consider—any birth control can make your hormones a little crazy at first. Crazy hormones plus stress of...

    NAPS indoc vs Plebe Summer

    Indoc is 3 weeks. My 2/C says indoc was MUCH harder than plebe summer. And most of her NAPS friends agree. It’s on a closed base, not at tourist attraction, so the rules of what can/cannot be done are different. She said plebe summer was summer camp compared to Indoc. No care packages during...

    Wedding Pickle

    We have discussed this with my 2020 mid several times: during PS, during ac year, while in summer cruise, etc. She has told us for each “phase” how she wants us to handle notifying her of situations: death of immediate family, death of grandparent, death of other family/friends, death of pets...

    Birth Control Plebe Summer

    My DD is class of 2020. Has had the nexplanon implant since the summer of 15 when she reported to NAPS. No issues. But if your daughter doesn’t have it yet, do it well before I day. Hormones can go absolutely bonkers and really mess with emotions.
