Hey there, I see there is already a lot of really great information posted by other very knowledgeable people on this thread. I just want to add that I'm currently in the class of 23' and I had to go through the Character Review Committee when I applied because I was suspended in high school. I...

I was suspended my junior year of high school for 3 years. A lot of my guidance counselors told me I wouldn't have a chance to get in here anymore but I still made it. Best advice is to be as upfront about it in everything you do. It came up in all my interviews for nominations. I'm by no means...

From my experience, the reporting time was not a hard time. They give out different reporting times just so they can manage having to process over 1,000 new mids. I had something like a 0730 reporting time and delays at the NMC stadium with buses lead me to not get there until 0800 and it was...

Sad to see so all these Naval Academy traditions that I've heard about be shot down by current leadership...I'll never be able to see them first hand. #brigadejodeler

This is coming from a plebe who did NOT attend naps, but is roommates with two napsters. Whether or not you should take NAPS over going the NROTC route is totally dependent on an individual basis. If the Naval Academy is the dream, by all means go to NAPS because it is essentially a golden...

Class of 2023 broke the record for the shortest Air Force week! It lasted only an hour and a half before it got locked up for some pranks going too far. Dant said they might open it up but that is only speculation.

Class of 2023 plebe here. I would not be worried that it's a "they dont want me" case. I got rejected from NASS and was not invited to a CVW but here I am! Don't forget that USNA is government ran and there can be time where there are miscommunications/ inefficiencies. Feel free to PM me if your...

I understand you may have military experience, but comments like this are not beneficial to anyone and don't add anything to the conversation. You're exactly right in saying you don't know this person so don't draw assumptions like these. We are all very new to this kind of stuff and are just...

Got rejected from NASS but secured an appointment. Just a case in point.

Hey GaitherDad. I was in a very similar position to your DS. I was in a similar caliber NJROTC Unit and I too competed in National Orienteering and Drill competitions. It is very hard to predict what is the "most successful" path and no one has a perfect formula for USNA admissions so I will...

I highly suggest reaching out to their office of financial aid. My oldest brother (not on navy scholarship) was in the same situation and their office is really good about finding ways to make ends meet. ie: after still coming up short on tuition before he went, he reached out to them and they...

Oops meant to reply to another post but congratulations to your DD on Navy Scholarship!

Unfortunately this is not true. They do their PT around 5/5:30. My brother is there on NROTC scholarship.

Congrats! Both of my brothers go to ERAU. One is on Navy scholarship and other is getting masters degree in robotic engineering. It is an excellent school for engineering (undoubtedly one of the best for Aerospace) and their NROTC program is outstanding. PM me if you want more information and I...

For those who don't get into NASS, do not think that means you are not a good candidate for admissions. I applied for NASS last year (late in the cycle albeit) and didn't get in (not even waitlist). Fast forward a few months and I've received and accepted my Offer of Appointment. Also, I was...

I received and accepted my appointment Feb11 and still haven't gotten BFE yet. Just a waiting game!

Bill Nelson's nomination was for the Air Force Academy, my second choice behind USNA. He was my only chance for an AFA nom. I was fortunate enough to get a Senator Rubio nomination for USNA and am waiting to hear back from my Congresswoman.

You do make very valid point. I'm going to call Nelson's office and get some more information about this. I don't expect to get anything from anyone, but I have faith that whatever happens is for the best.
