No it does not. My son did the same thing during high school. He was going be a Marine (something he always wanted to be) and worked out with them his Junior and Senior years. They actually encouraged him to apply to the Naval Academy. After attending NASS, he applied and got accepted into...

I will be taking my youngest son to an admissions forum this weekend, his Midshipmen brother might also attend. Does my Mid need to wear his uniform if he attends.

My son also got in a fight and was suspended 5 day from school and was sited by P.D. (zero tolarence school). Today he is at NAPS. So don't worry about it, BUT DO NOT TRY TO HIDE IT. We all make mistakes, just learn not to make the some ones. GOOD LUCK

DO NOT ENLIST. Work out with local navy recruiter. Let them know that your # 1 goal is to get into the Academy. Attended Summer Seminar if you can. Enjoy high school, but keep working towards you goal. And remember most incoming Midshipmen/plebes did not enlist before arriving at the...

But you all keep forgeting that you BGO interview/recommendation & congressional interview is also part of the process. And this, just like a job interview, is where "I feel" a big part of who gets to go and who doesn't is decided. Because this is where your personality will come out. This is...

He is going to NAPS but insist that he is supposed to send a copy to USNA.

What office at the USNA should my son send his final high schol transript to ?

Tell your school that you would like pick up an official transcript. It should say "OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT" and be in a sealed envelope when you pick it up. DO NOT OPEN IT. send it in another envelope when requested.

They will all look good to the the USNA. So take the classes that interest YOU, and do well in it. READ the "new FAQ's" they will save you a lot of stress and frustration.

Does anyone know what the report time is for NAPS I-Day.

Thanks to all the guys. This is great :thumb:

Must agree with Shellz. Start working on your essay now and have someone you trust check the final product for errors before you send it in. Also talk to the people that you want to write recommendation for you NOW, so they have a lot of time to work on it. Lastly be prepared to explain what...

If you are going to NASS a lot will be explained there. No need to rush. The only advice I would give you is to working on the teachers recommendation NOW (it took my sons english teacher did not send her rec. until almost the last day). Enjoy NASS and work out everyday.

I would say ACT score. My son had high ACT scores butt sufferd a "brain :eek: fart" his sophmore year and he might have a 3.0 when he he graduates this year, but he can get A's in classes he is taking at the local Community College. Also, IMO, GPA can be "padded" (easy vs rigorous classes)...

My son has been accepted to NAPS. Should he have NAPS listed in his graduation programm or USNA. :confused:
