USNAwaterpolo - I am with you - doing exactly what you are doing and bringing only what I am wearing along with the very bare minimum. My mom will be sending a care package with other items before I leave so that I will receive it shortly after I arrive - with the understanding that we...

C Company - 6th Platoon

I submitted this post in a previous thread regarding my application timeline - Hope this info can be useful to those who are beginning the application process. Good Luck!

ARMYNAVY - With all due respect, I noticed that your son also did not get accepted into the USMA's SLS - Do you have similar feelings about West Point regarding this matter?

I absolutely agree with USNAwaterpolo's post. The best advice that I received regarding the application process was to get everything completed before September. 1.) Speak to your English and Math teachers and your Guidance Counselor before school ends for the summer. Stress your...

To the candidates who stated that their transcripts were received by USNA even though they themselves never sent in their 7th semester transcripts - Did you already accept your appointment or not?

Just curious - If your friend is interested in applying, why isn't he the one who is "seeking out" these answers??

I received an LOA in September and I was just notified a week ago that I received a nomination from my congressman. Just this past week, I received a letter from one of my senators stating that since I had already received a nomination from another source, that he was unable to nominate me in...

Is the $2500 a one time fee during plebe year or is it a yearly cost? Not really familiar with everything that is associated with the Academy... Do you pay the fee all at once or twice a year or what...?

I received a letter dated October 23rd from Senator Durbin's office stating that my nomination file was complete. I called a week later and the woman on the phone told me that Durbin does not interview - the committee will be reviewing the files on the weekend of December 5th. I also...

What is the website of DODMERB? For some reason, I can't seem to link to it on my computer. Thanks!

Memphis - Who do you think caused the turnovers? Who do you think made Clausen fumble at the one yard line? Who do you think created pressure on the quarterback that resulted in the interceptions? That's right - Navy's defense, that's who? And isn't defense a huge part of the game that...

I just got back from the Navy/Notre Dame football game and all I can say is "WOW!! What a great game!!" Navy was very well represented - although there were approximately 200 mids at the game, they cheered so loudly that I could clearly hear them from the other side of the stadium. The Navy...

If your LOA was only contigent upon a nomination, then as the letter states "you are guaranteed an appointment" if you secure the nomination.

Although you may have already done so, give your teacher a copy of your "resume" that lists all of your honors and activities along with a cover letter explaining the importance of the recommendation and that it is necessary to submit her recommendation ASAP (include a dated deadline if...

USMAalltheway - Your post is not entirely correct. There are several candidates on this board who have been officially accepted (received appointment) from the USNA based on their completed application and their presidential nominations. LOAs can be contingent on one or several factors -...

According to Wikipedia - "Congressmen generally nominate ten people per vacancy. They can nominate people in a competitive manner, or they can have a principal nomination. In a competitive nomination, all ten applicants are reviewed by the academy, to see who is the most qualified. If the...
