To answer
@anchorman 's questions about Navy:
The curriculum is dependent on your major as it would be at any other institution. That said, everyone takes a heavy technical course load as a Plebe (freshman). Humanities will see a little less STEM throughout the rest of their time compared to STEM majors. There also is a mandate that 65% of the class has to be a STEM major, but that usually is not an issue. Non-STEM majors have to take a foreign language (with the exception of language majors for obvious reasons). Regardless of major, you'll get plenty of exposure to both sides and enough STEM courses to get you a B.S. regardless of degree field. We also have professional development classes (seamanship and practicum) as well as leadership classes. Lastly, everyone takes PE every semester, but it varies based on class year. Firstie PE courses are the most fun since they are lifetime activities focused (rock climbing, tennis, volleyball, kayaking, etc.). Other years are split between combat sports (boxing, wresting, martial arts) and swimming/water survival.
Life at the Academy could literally be a book by itself. Besides the common stuff like mandatory lectures, Navy requirements (online trainings, the PRT, etc.) and plebe-isms (Sea Trials, Herndon, chopping, chow calls, etc.), you are going to get ~4400 different viewpoints and experiences. I personally really enjoyed being a MIDN, but I know others could not wait to leave USNA. Feel free to ask specific questions on the thread, you'll probably get some differing replies from the members around here.
The time immediately after Commissioning Week is relatively uneventful. What happens depends on your current situation. Those who are heading to their initial schooling immediately after graduation PCS (what the military calls moving... used as a verb) to their training commands. They'll either join a class right away or wait for a while to get into a class. Different jobs have different pipeline lengths. If you have a while before you report to training, you take basket leave (a month off to do whatever you want... sit in your room at home, road trip, backpack in Europe, etc.) and then you are assigned to a job at the Naval Academy or in support of it (like the Naval Academy Prep School). There are many different jobs, but you are in essence a paid intern. Some jobs are pretty work-intensive and others have you barely coming in. Regardless, you're a Naval or Marine Officer getting paid to live, work, and play in Annapolis. It is a great time!
I almost forgot: since mids have to be single all four years, you see a lot of weddings happening in the Chapel in the weeks following graduation. I would say that's the most eventful things get after commissioning.
I'll echo the others and say Annapolis is almost comical in how inaccurately it represents the Naval Academy. It is obvious why the Navy didn't give their sign-off.
