In my humble opinion, an offer to NAPS is the best of both worlds. Allows you to work hard, focus, train while giving you an extra year to grow, in all sorts of ways. You will be better in the end.
If they get accepted to the Naval Academy Prep School they have to enlist as reserve, but once their year is completed successfully they’re discharged.
When I took my DD to the recruiting station, as she was about to get sworn in, a young man asked, is she going to boot camp, and the recruiter proudly replied, No, she’s going to the Naval Academy.
Thank you! You’ve been very helpful. We are on Long Island and it’s hard to believe we have never been to Newport. Looking forward to getting to know it.
Hello! I’m trying to figure out what my DD will need to bring to NAPS, besides the list they provide ( socks, towels, bedding???) Anyone familiar, please help. Thank you!
