    NASS Session 1-WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!

    From my squad last year: 2 of us received appointments, 1 got into NAPS, 1 is going to a foundation school for a year, 3 were rejected, and 1 is unknown. So about 40% of my squad is guaranteed a spot.

    NASS advice, tips, and suggestions

    The biggest thing is to work hard!! That includes fitness and academics. You will be given a sheet of information on the first day (called "rates") that you will then be tested on during the mock I-Day.

    NASS Fitness Test

    When I attended NASS last year we took the CFA on our 1st full day at 2pm immediately following lunch. It was pretty brutal on the turf, so don't be disappointed if you don't do as well as you expected. Some kids ate way too much at lunch and ended up puking...don't be one of them. Also we took...

    Swimming at NASS

    14 deck pushups? You got off easy! My platoon was one of the last to go through the pool phase last year and all we did was deck pushups, flutter kicks, and regular pushups! I wouldn't worry about the swimming too much at NASS if you're competent. I'm a decent swimmer, but I couldn't tread...

    Leadership

    I was in the same position as you, I've played club soccer all my life so I was never able to do the programs that other applicants were a part of. However, I emphasized how I conducted myself as captain of my club team and talked about my experiences in a peer tutor program. I now have an...

    How are these scores?

    I took the PFA at the NASS this summer and the Marine Corp PFT later in the summer and the tests ARE conducted similar to the CFA. For both tests, push ups/pull ups and sit ups were completed before the run.
