    Summer school

    Hi, I did summer school for a math class in between my plebe and 3/C year. It’s really not as bad as everyone chalks it up to being. There’s no real regiment apart from signing in at night. Most of the people I did it with actually enjoyed it more than working indoc. It sucked not going home for...

    Commissioning SWO in the Active Duty Navy

    Was going to ask based off of your profile picture, I am also interested in DWO in AD CG. I have an internship on a ship scheduled for some extra sea days. Was moored next to three Legend Class cutters in Charleston this winter. Super Cool.

    Commissioning SWO in the Active Duty Navy

    At USMMA we don't graduate as many SWOs as you would assume for a myriad of reasons. Many at KP view SWO as a more difficult job for both the reasons listed in this thread, as well as the differences in pay/time off/management of commercial ships. I was on a "regimented" ship and a commercial...

    Commissioning SWO in the Active Duty Navy

    Most of my concerns regarding culture have been restated by others within this thread, but my "sources" are the multiple midshipman who have went SWO, junior and senior SWOs that I have had the chance to speak to about the community, as well as my own experiences with SWOs and those who held the...

    Commissioning SWO in the Active Duty Navy

    Hi, I go to a different academy and have about 120 days spent at sea. I like the idea of a sea going career as well as a military one (hence why I am at an academy lol.) I am especially curious about the SWO culture and the steps the active duty navy are taking to fix that community as I have...

    Depends, it's pretty random except for ending up in band company. Even then some of my friends don't play instruments so

    USMMA midshipman going ARMY

    My friends that are also plebes at West Point love West Point. I really don't think there's a wrong choice here but the two schools are definitely super different from one another. The day-to-day lifestyles are so different that they are almost incomparable. If he really wants to fly...

    USMMA midshipman going ARMY

    I know a first classman this year that is going army helicopters. He was deciding between Navy Submarines and Army Helicopters. I wouldn't say coming here just to go Army is a dumb decision. I know a lot of people change their minds about what they want to do during their time here and I would...

    If anyone wants to talk to a plebe

    There is an aviation club but I don't think your son will be afforded the chance to use his pilots license during plebe year at least. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear haha

    If anyone wants to talk to a plebe

    So sorry for a late reply, been getting home to family lol. Liberty depends on your training staff, plebes currently have sunday liberty from 1000 to 1800. I had a great time! I know some parents from the area were able to hangout with their plebe for pretty much the whole game after the...

    Failed CFA

    I had the same thing happen last year and it was corrected. I actually received a phone call from the admissions representative from my area clarifying that I hadn't failed and that it was a data entry error. Try not to stress and email one of the admissions people, they're generally pretty helpful
