    Net Income/Salary after graduation seems very low for Ensigns?

    Yep, add in medical (including free prescriptions), dental, moving expenses, use of the exchange/commissary, flight pay (for pilots)/hazardous duty pay, and housing allowance and a new O-1 is doing pretty damn good...

    Permit to Report (last years)

    I'll add, don't get any traffic tickets. It's not an appointment killer (in most cases), but will require a waiver. Save the trouble...

    CFA at NASS

    Ok, sorry honest truth here. You are very strong in most areas, but your Mile-run: 8:34 is a show stopper (my opinion). You do not say if you are a male or female. But with 1 pull up my guess is female. 8:34 is probably a failure on the CFA (Admissions does not publish mins). Good news is 1...

    When do admissions boards look at your file?

    I will add a couple things: - The Board doesn't meet until September, NOBODY is 3Q'd at this time. It's impossible. - I thought the official word from admissions was 40% complete for an interview. But maybe this could be just guidance from our AC (area Coordinator). I will investigate...

    12 quit on I-Day

    "I would say that SA attendance is a privilege, not an honor." One of the best quotes i have seen on this Board. Reminds me when parents of SA's students complain about their kids not getting free upgrades, perks, free baggage fees or front of the line privileges. I promise the true front...

    "Triple Qualified"?

    Yep, BGO's come in all shapes and colors. The official description of a BGO from the Admin Office I guess can be interrupted many different ways: "Blue and Gold Officers (BGOs) are “field” representatives of the Admissions Process who cover a specific geographic area, usual defined by...

    "Triple Qualified"?

    Actually the 3rd "Q" is Board Qualified (not academic). The Board will start meeting every Thursday sometime around August. They look at the entire package (including academics and everything submitted during the process) and make a determination if the student is worthy of being considered...

    English Teacher Rec Problem

    Be patient, a bad recommendation from one of your teachers could sink you. The main advantage to getting your package in early is if your competitive for an LOA. The majority of students rush and get their package complete and then sit and wait until March or April of the next year to get an...

    Impact...And So It Begins

    My DD went to Stem her freshman year, it changed her life. Prior to that she had no desire to be in the military or attend the Academy. She is now a current Midshipman at the USNA. Good luck.

    Triple Qualified status

    3 Q'd BGO's have been advised by the Admin Office NOT to disclose if/when an applicant is Triple Q'd. You will not get any kind of confirmation from the admin Office. I know it stinks but it's the rule. It's a waiting game at this point. Just continue with Plan B and C. Good news, it's only...

    Noon Meal Formation -- Location of Company?

    Vista123, We were also there dropping our DD off. She also attended NASS and loved it. It was really great to see her after the swearing in, but I'm not convinced that's a good thing for both the Plebes and the parents. She actually smiled a little but her eyes also got a little red and...
