    Investigation finds significant drug use, party culture at Naval Academy

    This is old news. If you ask anyone from 2014 or later, they probably didn't see spice at all while they were here. There is absolutely no way it was 300-500 midshipmen. The only time I saw it was on cruise, and the sailors were doing it in the torpedo rooms. The reason people did it was...

    Difference in USAFA, USNA, and USMA

    Air Force is the most relaxed. A Aero Major friend of mine was on exchange at AF, and he didn't crack a book. Their plebe year ends half-way through the spring semester. Somehow they have more take home pay than midshipmen. They have liberty on a regular basis, and they have beer on base. They...

    females at usna

    Based on my experience being here, everyone who gets any kind of recognition is squared away, and nothing is given to anybody just because they are (insert minority here). However, you are fooling yourself if you think females are consistently outperforming their male counterparts. They're not...

    females at usna

    I think you guys are ignoring something very important when you say that more females go up for striper billets. Each company officer is only allowed to send up a certain number of midshipmen for billets. Conveniently enough, about 50% of mids sent up for striper billets are female. So when half...

    sea trials class of 2014

    Are you kidding me? Why are you blatantly disrespecting my class? I don't care who's decision it was, we are not "wanna-bee" anything! Our class is great, and it would greatly appreciate not being disrepected online.

    SEALS

    They are allowed to take 15 medical slots. Whether or not they do it is a different story. I agree that it is ridiculous that they are advertising but its probably more than 1% of the class, if only slightly. Other than that, anyone can join VAST. Its just like any other club on the yard. All...

    SEAL officer Career Path

    Try 27 BUD/s slot for 50-70 candidates. And its a lot of time away from your family. Your first staff job will likely be as an O-4 which is at the earliest ~8 years after graduation.

    Induction Day or parents weekend ?

    Definitely go to parents weekend. It wouldn't have been horrible without my parents, but I wouldn't have even noticed if my parents weren't there for I-day.

    skiing/snowboarding

    There is a growing club. They've been around for awhile, they just added snowboarding this year, and they just got funded this year. Funding is good and bad. Its good because now you don't have to pay for everything yourself. Its bad because there is a limited amount of funding and thus a little...

    How do average cadets/Mids get a graduate degrees?

    Speaking from USNA: There are 54 Immediate graduate education spots for Navy and 43 delayed graduate spots. I'm assuming you're talking about Immediate spot so, they include 20 VGEP spots which were covered earlier, 14 Bowman scholarships which are open to submarine select engineering majors to...

    Future in Army or USMC

    You can select Public Affairs right out of TBS; however, it is very very competitive. This isn't necessarily because a lot of people want it. Its more because slots don't show up too often. I believe the "average" number of slots is 1 per class. In order to get this slot, you'll have to be...

    Can someone help me with eligibility question

    UNSAT is 2 D's, 1 F or a cumulative QPR rating under 2.0 for upper class. For plebes, its just 1 D because their academics are so much easier than everyone else's. I believe thats just for 6 and twelve weeks though, not semester. Luckily I've never been unsat though so I'm not an expert. As...

    I Day Plebe Food

    On I-day last year I wished I had eaten more that morning. I had to report at 9 or 915 which meant I was last which meant I sat around for everyone else to be processed before I went. I sat in Alumni and wished I had eaten more than the half of a bagel I ate that morning. Also, they won't...

    30th Company ????

    If you want to get in the front during football games you'll be able to, don't worry about that. You just have to act like you're the boss and get down in front. Also, if you ever get up on 3rd Deck of Sampson there is a big map of all of the buildings that were around when Roosevelt went on...
