If a person resigns from the Naval Academy, and they request a box to get all their stuff shipped back to them, who do they contact to get information about the box?

Thank you for the replies everyone! So I will definitely be here for plebe year. I understand the immense opportunities that lay in front of me, and how my parents would feel if I told them I left the academy. It's definitely something I will give more thought about. And if I consider...

I'm a plebe at the Naval Academy, and I know its only been a couple weeks since plebe summer ended. However, I'm not sure if I want to stay here. Regardless, I will probably be here for at least 1 year(so I will finish plebe year) before I make a decision to leave. What is the process of...

One more thing-do you have grades for the validation tests? or is it a pass/fail grade? (You already mentioned its not calculated for GPA, but does a grade still show up?)

Thanks for the info! just what I was looking for

When you take and pass validation tests, including higher level classes (like calc 3), does is show up on your transcript? I know that everyone still takes 4 years to graduate and you still need to take a certain number of classes, but I'm curious if it shows up in your transcript. After all, if...

I recently moved, and I used my new address when I sent the PTR package in May. But is there any way to confirm my mailing address with the Naval Academy so that my parents can receive news?

Do you know specifically how I can obtain information about my company platoon etc before I-Day?

How do you get mailed things during plebe summer? Aren't we assigned to a specific company, platoon, etc? So how do our friends/family get that information? Can we obtain that information beforehand? Also, what things are allowed to be mailed? can textbooks/papers/notes be mailed?

wait can you explain what you mean by higher validation tests? someone earlier had mentioned that upper level classes were validated before the start of the academic year, but after plebe summer.

Does that include placement tests for higher level classes? Or are those conducted after plebe summer? (for example. differential eq, linear algebra, etc)

Sorry to bring back this thread but i have one more question-somewhere in the forum (or maybe some other forum) someone said that parents can mail study materials for validation tests, like books and papers. Is this true? Or will these also get confiscated? If they are allowed to mail such...

For those who were accepted into the Naval Academy, were we supposed to get a package in April about basic training and related info? Did anyone get it yet? Or is it out mid-April? late April?

I know electronics are not allowed. How about watches? Can you bring a notebook?

Thanks for the info! @osdad: I sent an email to the professor on monday, unfortunately no response so far.

How does an entering midshipman validate upper level math classes such as linear algebra, real analysis, and topology? I know that in basic training, they only have validation tests for lower level classes. Do they take validation tests in the time between the end of basic training and the start...

what is the daily schedule like for plebes in academic year? On the naval academy website, it says there are 6 academic periods, and then 3:45 to 6pm is for numerous activities. What would a typical plebe do during that afternoon time period? also, what does "Arise for personal fitness workout...

Question to current Mids in the Naval Academy-how are grades for GPA? like A is 4.0, but what about A-? is it 3.7? or 4?

Is it possible to validate college courses by taking a test? For example, I took an online class about electrical engineering (via edX), but no credit was given. But I have gained an understanding in that subject, so I was wondering if I could take a validation test for it. Also, what about...

Hello, I am curious to know what an average day for a 4th class cadet (freshman) is like at USAFA, for the academic year. For example, when do you normally wake up? when do you normally sleep? what is minutes? how many afternoon training sessions are there in a week? How much "free time" do you...
