    CFA INSPIRE

    We are here for your success. It is totally optional and has no bearing on admission now. Last year, I had some drags and helped them with their push up form or the dreaded ball throw (as a softball player). I would personally take it because 1) you are here to have a fun learning experience 2)...

    Footwear Questions

    You will wear your personal shoes only during PEP. Otherwise, Brooks all day. I don't see why you couldn't bring your own shoes but your backpack of personal items is taken on I-day. I didn't see my backpack until 4 weeks in when I needed my COVID vaccination card. I would rather get boots...

    USNA 14-Week Recommended Exercise Routine (2020)

    Also that document is a bit outdated I think. We have a new director of human performance and he said he's making a newer plebe summer prep plan!

    USNA 14-Week Recommended Exercise Routine (2020)

    Your 1.5 mile time is an A on the PRT. Relax and treat your injuries now. Do not come into Plebe Summer injured! You don't want to miss plebe year. Be 100% Healthy to give your all to your classmates. That is my biggest regret

    Summer Trainings, help!

    First step ask 3/C. We can help and most of us had this issue as well. Next step get a plan and present to your CO. Congrats on your PTE too, would you consider giving up leave too if you can’t get rid of it? As I remember, it was very difficult to get out of SS. However I heard some people did...

    Class Rank

    No. It just moves you ahead of your matrix. Also, I don't think OOM should be your primary concern just yet. Learn how to be a good teammate, do well with the Plebe duties and learn how to balance the stressors of the Academy. OOM doesn't determine your worth, you do that.

    Lost my congressional Slate

    This is me and my roommate. Me and my roommate, MIDN X, are both from very very competitive district Y. We both got the same nomination. She was ranked #1 and I was ranked #1. We are both sitting in the same room now as youngsters happily. How did I get in? No clue. I could've lost my slates...

    Preparing for Plebe Summer Class of 2027
