    Plebe Packing List

    I know there have been a few threads on this in the past but I thought it would be a good idea to make a comprehensive list of: What to bring on I Day What to have parents send during plebe summer What to have parents bring during PPW I think there are some obvious items for all of these...

    LOR's for USNA & NROTC

    My ROTC recruiter said you have to submit the USNA and NROTC applications completely separately. For me at least, I don't think any recommendations were sent between USNA and ROTC.

    Official Candidate Letter

    At NASS last year we were told than anyone accepted to NASS was an official candidate. Also, at the end, we were given our candidate number along with portal access instructions.

    NASS: What shoes should I bring?

    I just brought two pairs of sneakers and I was fine. One of the pairs went home very wet and muddy. I wouldn't bring cleats because no one else will have them and they aren't really necessary.

    Final HS Transcript

    In the PTR package, there's nothing saying that a final hs transcript is required to be sent to Admissions. Is it true that the academy doesn't need to see a final transcript for accepted candidates? If so, it it recommended to send it anyways?

    PTR-Disclosure consent for nom source

    I'm trying to fill out one of the many forms in the PTR packet, and I am not exactly sure what is the "norm" for release of grades and military performance information to my nominating source. Do most people release this type of info to their senator/congressman? Is it looked down upon at all if...

    2019 Permit to Report (PTR) Packages?

    Phones at summer seminar?

    What needs to be done after BFE arrives?

    Once you submit the document "accepting" the appointment, does USNA send some type of notice saying that they received it? Or is there some kind of updated checklist with all of the things you must submit(record check, birth certificate, appointment document, etc.)?

    Wristwatch Rules

    What are the rules regarding watches at USNA? Are personal ones taken during PS? Are they issued? I assume upper class and plebes can wear their own during the ac. year.
