Does anyone know if the USCGA Admissions office is open on the weekend? I have been trying to get in contact with LT Rivera for a few days, but I have not been able to reach her. I sort of have an urgent situation, which is why I am asking.

I recently found out that I have been waitlisted for the CGAS program. I understand that decisions for the waitlist may be available after May 1st. This normally would not be a problem, except that I have an enlistment contract with a ship date of April 29th. I understand that I will most...

Ah I understand now, thank you!

Thank you, that was a very helpful document. You said that only 85 regular Navy Sailors can be charged to this category. I'm assuming the other 85 are Marine Corps members? If so, do you think that there are more or less Marines who apply to the Naval Academy/seek a SECNAV nomination compared to...

Is there a recommended amount of time that a sailor must serve, before applying? I know there is no hard requirement for prior enlisted Navy to USNA (Enlisted USAF to their service academy requires their enlisted airmen to serve at least 1 year before applying to their Secretary of the Air...
