    SAT Scores

    I would say it is helpful to have SAT scores that support your transcript grades. Like some one said you could probably increase that with some prep if that is your first time score. If possible take calculus and science at community college. Make sure you are in some leadership roles in the...

    Student Sues Naval Academy Over Social Media Posts

    I struggled over whether or not to even respond on this originally because I truly have no interest in any kind of disagreement with people on the internet. But the only verification of the plaintiff’s complaint at this point is that the attorney is saying that he or she believes his client...

    Student Sues Naval Academy Over Social Media Posts

    I would never read a plaintiff’s complaint and think that is the full story. It is ironic that he did not believe that Ms. Taylor was entitled to due process or that protesters are entitled to due process. My first thought when I heard about this was about enlisted sailors under him in the...

    Candidate Fitness Assessment woes

    Do you have any connections with a private school. Many of them have returned. We had a friend whose kids attended one and the PE instructor graciously agreed to administer. This was before Covid. Because we couldn't find a PE teacher in our county to administer for our home schooled student.

    Permit to Report--Base Access Card

    I don’t know how they will do it this year. But last year and years in the past those who attended NAPS reported a day or two earlier than IDAY.

    You will need to find the recruitment office closest to you / and or the one that will do it. Hopefully someone is familiar with the NAPS process. I would imagine the forms don’t change much from year to year. There are instructions on packet about forms and where to send. You will also have...

    I have no idea if this is across the board but they did not request DD final semester grades. You do need your high school diploma to enlist before going to NAPS.

    NAPS RESCIND

    DD went to NAPS for class of 2019 and they didn’t ask for her final semester grades. You will need your high school diploma to enlist and I would work on getting that done as soon as you graduate. In my area they weren’t familiar with the process and took a while going back and forth.
