    USMMA skin

    Is there a link to a photo gallery there that I'm missing? I only see the Indoc links.

    Yeah, as long as you are on leave, you can drive a car.

    Study Abroad

    I've only known a handful of mids that had the opportunity to study abroad. The countries that come to mind are Jordan, Japan, China, and France. Typically, they were non engineering majors and only went for the semester. More than that is rare if not impossible. You'll probably have some...

    Varsity Letter

    I'm sure it always helps. Even after you submit your application in later summer/early fall, you can and should update it with any new information that may help your package. Also do the same to you congressional rep as well.

    A Letter from the Supe

    However, the Supe's vision probably hasn't hit the actual Fleet. Unless he somehow has control over the training happening aboard ships, I can guarantee you that mids on ships and submarines are still sleeping a heck of a lot, getting some pretty nice tans on the beaches, and going poor spending...

    And this was following the Supe's letter (separate post due to character limits): ------------------------------------------------ Policy Clarification One of the purposes of this letter is to clarify policies that may have been misunderstood by groups who do not have access to all of the...

    A Letter from the Supe

    As posted on the USNA PAO's web page: http://www.usna.edu/PAO/ ------------------------------------------------ Dear Friends of the U.S. Naval Academy, Greetings from Annapolis! Katie and I have enjoyed the privilege of serving this historic institution for one year now—a year that has gone by...

    MORE AP TEST Questions

    Looking back on things now, validating can only help you out a lot if you are a Group 2 or 3 major. For the Group 1s, I saw people that validated so many classes that they were actually struggling to find classes that they could take. Think of it this way, if you validate too many classes...

    Summer Training Changes

    It is very likely. Remember, you are traveling and are being temporarily assigned to a real Navy unit. It is strongly suggested that you keep checking MIDS constantly to be sure of any changes. From what I gather, you are going to be on a carrier. Lots of stuff on the west coast is being...

    Plebe Summer First-Aid remedies

    Those work fine. Storage space isn't much of a problem. A plebe will still have plenty of space in his or her room left with just just issue items. You only start running out of room 2/C year when you can start wearing civis and you bring your entire civi closet back with you to the Academy...

    summer seminar: quick visit to the clinic?

    Brigade Medical is only open for emergencies on the weekends, but there are a few corpsmen assigned to NASS that may be on duty and available to sign you off. Just mention this to your squad leader and he/she should be able to help you out.

    shoes

    When I did detail, shoes was really the last thing on our minds. We really just wanted to see the plebe go out there and give 100%. We also recognize that some people need different running shoes due to their running style and so they won't hurt themselves. But like its said above, I wouldn't...

    PEP

    It is, but the markings are meant for the 1.5 miles PRT course (and they are very small spray painted numbers on the ground anyways). If they run it the same way we did when I did NASS detail, the markers won't do you any good cause your start at a different position. I think the staff may be...
