Hello all, I'll be at the Academy come July 1 and just had a few questions. What is a typical daily schedule during Plebe Summer? Are weekends (ie free time) considered a real thing during Plebe Summer? Any other insight would be great. Thank you all!

Hello all. I've played football my entire life, and discovered the Navy Sprint team as an opportunity to continue playing the sport. At what point during Plebe Summer do tryouts occur? I understand the Sprint team is composed solely of walk-ons. How competitive is it to make the team...

How's it going guys? I've already received an Appointment, and was a principal nom as well. I'm unsure of what I'd like to select service wise, although I think I'm favoring the Marine Corps. What I wanted to ask was how you each were preparing for Plebe Summer? Does anyone have prior...

Thank you both for the help. I'll be running 6 days/week, on a slight variation of the provided program. SwimmingMid - congrats on the swim team!! I'm considering Sprint Football, or potentially throwing the hammer on the track and field team. Since receiving the Appointment, I've been...

Hello all! I received an awesome surprise this past Thursday, as my BFE arrived in the mail! I'm finally a bit more relaxed, as I don't have to put up with any more suspense. With that aside, I did want to ask: what is everyone doing to prepare for Plebe Summer? I'm a high school football...

Congrats to your son! To both of you: how long after a completed package did the call and then BFE come?

Again, congratulations! I've got a principle nom, and my app was completed January 6. I have literally convinced myself that a decision will be in the mailbox every day. Waiting is tough, but it will be worth it in the end.

Congrats dude!! Just a quick question: did you have a principal nomination, a LOA, and are you a recruited athlete?

Don't want to clutter this thread, but I have been told timeframe for a principal nom from completed app to receiving decision is about 2 weeks?

About how long after a completed app did his BFE arrive? I'm playing the waiting game as well. Thanks for the help!

Sorry to bother everyone again. Now that my app has been done and I'm just waiting, time seems to go by even slower. I have a rather odd, in-depth question I'm not sure anyone will know a definite answer to. As of January 6, 2014, my application is complete. I'll provide a rough timeline...

Thank you! My gym teacher made it clear to me that my CFA was definitely satisfactory, and I even surprised myself a bit. I've had solid grades throughout my high school career, and the only small misstep I can see is a little struggle in my senior year AP Physics / BC Calculus courses, which...

Thank you USNA1985. Time to wait, and enjoy senior year in the process. Would the Office of Admissions be prompted once my app is complete so they can review it? All components had been uploaded prior to the new year except my CFA, which was uploaded 1/6. Principal nomination had been...

Thank you! My principal nom was uploaded December 3, and all my app components were uploaded as of January 6. So hopefully I'll find out soon. Thank you though!
