    Some questions before I-day

    For 3, doing research as an '18 plebe, yes. We have to "chop" our legs around Bancroft (without cutting corners), hold our covers a weird way, keep our eyes on the ship while eating, and of course, sit a specific way on the chair as we eat. But I can imagine all this antagonizing lightens up as...

    Summer seminar Question

    You get all t-shirts, and each company (there were five companies when I went) wears a different t-shirt for every day, except for during PT when everyone wears a blue dri-fit like athletic shirt.

    Rest or try to get in shape?

    I just finished my track season at the state finals on Saturday, and my shins are in awful condition. It's nothing I'm going to the doctor for, as shin splints have plagued me ever since I became a sprinter and just a lot of rest is the only way to clear it out. So, this begs the question...

    Patient Registration Form and Appointee Spectacle Information Form?

    In my haste to mail the 15 May 2014 PTR packet papers, I failed to make copies of these two documents. Would anyone know where I could print off copies of these to bring to I-Day? Thank you.

    Tattoo policy change

    Just my two cents, but getting a tattoo is not worth the hassle in the military. Don't trouble yourself with that when you will have other things to worry about.

    USNA Class of 2018 Appointment Thread

    The BFE is essentially the initial notification of acceptance. The PTR is a separate package that has actual info about I-Day and such. I have been told that company assignments were also in the Permit to Report, but people that have gotten the PTR already for 2018 have said that they didn't get...

    Service Academies Day

    Dress up nice, but not too nice. You will come off as pretentious. This is from experience at a service academy day I went to. Came in with cargo shorts and a polo. Some kids arrived in full suits, like they were going in for an interview, when in reality they were just going to shake hands and...

    Help

    Quality over quantity, young blood. If you can't fit time for another thing to get involved in, don't get involved. You are competitive enough, and that is why they interview you to see what cannot be shown on an application.

    Applying to more than one SA?

    If you are quite versatile and can see yourself attending any of the service academies, then go for it. It was different for me. I was pressured by my mom and others to apply to as many SAs as I can. She didn't want to be bestowed upon the burden of a college tuition, thus she wanted to...
