    USNA " Car " Loan Money?????

    For Plebes, Financial Literacy was the very first chapter for Professional Knowledge and we learned all about managing our money efficiently as well as aspects to Midshipman life such as the ACE loans, SGLI, SCRA, and more. As an upperclassman there are several optional briefs during which...

    How conservative is USNA?

    As a current Midshipmen, I would actually like to chime in as well on this conversation. As a member of the United States Military, and a midshipmen at USNA, it is unprofessional, and frowned upon to discuss politics in the work place. We serve the people of the United States of America and we...

    Giving Back: 2021 Plebe Q&A

    Great question. During the application process, I really did not have any doubts and instead devoted all of my efforts in the hopes of receiving an appointment. However after receiving my appointment I had second thoughts regarding my decision, and this is something almost every appointee will...

    Everything that has been said is accurate. The test scores as well as your Transcript will be the Academy's primary ways of determining your academic strength and ability. Try to do your best to get the highest score possible and leave nothing up to chance. Good luck!

    As a Plebe we do not rate leaving the yard unless on Saturdays from 1200 to 2359. The one exception to this rule is with Special Request Chits to attend services off the base. The chit is something you write up and will need to be approved all the way up to a Battalion Officer. I have a Chit...

    I am still a plebe, however I will answer your question to the best of my ability. Time management as well as efficiency are the keys to success at the Academy. Don't worry because Plebe Summer will help you get ready for the Academic Year.

    I am not 100 percent sure but I believe that the number was definitely low this year. I heard somewhere between 10 and 20.

    Failed body fat test

    https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/_files/documents/MedicalAppendix1.pdf Looking at this document, I would say that it was more than likely a mistake with Admissions having a hard time reading the measurements, or simply just put the numbers in wrong. I would reach out to Admissions, specifically...

    I fortunately did get an LoA in Early October and received an Appointment in December. An LoA is not the goal, an appointment is, but I would recommend finishing your application as quick as possible without sacrificing quality. It gives you more wiggle room down the road should you require a...

    I cannot give you an exact number but there is good group of us at the academy. There is a good representation of each state at the academy. At a picnic that was held before Plebe Summer, there was about 20 of us with several not being able to attend.

    Repeating the CFA even after you have submitted it is a great way for you to get in shape. Besides that RUN almost every day and run DISTANCE. Most plebes during the summer will suffer from Shin Splints -- get your shins used to long distance running and lots of mileage in general. Front...

    I would love to give back. Fire away with your questions!! Things that may make me stand out from other Plebes on the forum right now: - Body Fat testing (for the muscular folks out there), Living in Maryland (senator and congressional interviews), CVW, NASS, Summer STEM, IB/AP...

    Failed body fat test

    At this point, I would start going on a strict diet and pair it with a tough workout plan. Even if you do receive a waiver, this is a problem you will face on I day and later on throughout your career. Get it down as low as possible, while doing it in a healthy way. Good Luck
