Do any current mids know the protocol for receiving outside medical treatment (Eg going to your private doctor over winter leave)? How hard is it to do? Can’t really find anything on the internet regarding using outside medical treatment of any sort. Thanks in advance.

Hello All, Asking for a friend here: What does the I-Day Medical Exam entail, and how thorough is it? Is it just a few questions that the doctor asks, or is it a full-body check-up similar to the DoDMERB process? I asked my rising Firstie, but he has no recollection of the event. Thank you in...

Again, suggest you read through all the threads, including the acronyms list, to find out more information. I also suggest that right now, as you are only in middle school, you worry more about getting good grades, good leadership positions, and overall having a good time with friends and...

Does anyone know if the coaches at Navy do any of these imbalance correction protocols?

Thank you. One final question: why does USNA allow people who had eczema before the age of 12 attend, if even people with a prior history of eczema shouldn’t get the smallpox vaccine?

Quick question for all of you. How many recent USNA grads have received the smallpox vaccine? I understand it depends on where you are deployed, but curious as to how they go about determining whether you need it or not. I ask because my DD, interested in USNA, had eczema when she was 8, but...

Unfortunately I would have to agree with Ken J. It’s hard for me to say as my DS is there, but true. Unfortunately, in many areas, mids aren’t as honest, truthful, etc. as they are often made out to be. Of course, USNA does the best it can to try to weed out those applicants, but there are...

I am a CMU alum, and had a few friends who did NROTC there. They all had wonderful experiences. Reading through your other posts, I see that your son is passionate about being an engineer, but also wants to be an officer. I don’t think I have to tell you that CMU has one of the top...

Hello, Long-time lurker here, finally caved in and made an account. To preface this, let me say that I'm the proud parent of 2/c DS at USNA. I just want to make something clear to a lot of young applicants/people with appointments deciding on whether or not to accept: We often only focus on...
