I was recruited and competed for the varsity Navy women's gymnastics team in the late 80's. I was a plebe during it's inaugural season in 1986/87. The effort to elevate from club to varsity status was spearheaded by coach Shirley Tranquill, who also just happened to be the wife of the head...

From Class of 2017 profile The class of 2017 includes 360 (30%) from college and post-high school preparatory programs which include: 200 from Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, RI 14 from the Navy Nuclear Power Program 51 from the US Naval Academy Foundation Program 95 additional...

Did the Supe give an explanation for the trend? They were using the slide to demonstrate that if you really want to make it through the Academy these days there are many, many resources available from professors to senior officers to chaplains that will help you. What I took away from this was...

Just this past weekend (PPW), in the Supe's brief to the parents, there was a graphic showing the trending attrition rates from about '85 forward. It might be available somewhere on the Naval Academy's site or maybe in the BGIS system. classof83 is correct that it peaked in 90/91 at around 30%...

My younger sister, who is an ALO and lives in Colorado Springs, sent me brochures from CAPT Glenn Merchant, MC, USN who retired in 2011 and was DoDMERB's 12th Director. He apparently has started a DoDMERB consulting firm. Maybe Mr Mullen is working with him. My sister says she has had no...

My DD just found out from her coach that she was in 29. My question is if they still skip J/Juliette for summer companies? Is she in K-29?

Only the original form needs to get sent in by the 15th, according to the instructions which tell you to make 2 copies and bring them with you on I-day, you should bring in any updates to the record, which infers that you can get shots between the 15th and I-day and just bring the additional...

2014 - I sent you a private message.

As a BGO in a competitive district in Pennsylvania, in the past 3 years none of the five (5) candidates who were selected for NASS, have ultimately received an appointment. Three of them never finished the application, deciding after going to NASS that they didn't want to go to USNA. This year...

I'm not a big believer in term life insurance unless 1) someone is dependent on the income or 2) there is significant personal debt. SGLI can always be picked up at a later date if either of those circumstances change with a very simple physical. Over the 4 years, the premium adds up to...

No, she didn't end up getting/needing an actual medical waiver. We had read the listed height requirement as well, but had met a few women who were around 4'10, so I knew that they overlook the 5' requirement, I just didn't know how far down they would go. Early in the admissions process (Aug)...

Based upon your swimming, you should go to the men's swimming and diving team page at navysports.com. On that page will be 2012-2013 results and records for the swim team which should give you an idea of where you stand and if you could be recruited. There is a recruiting questionnaire that...

OK, I am worrying too much. Thanks for the replies. She will be a diver for the swimming and diving team. Truly I was caught completely off guard with how much anxiety I would have with this whole senior year and Academy application process.

My daughter has accepted her appointment to the class of 2017. She was a recruited athlete with an LOA, so most of our admission anxiety was about whether she would medically qualify with her height of only 4' 9". Her father and I are both USNA alumni, so we are well aware of the "sandblower"...
