Shots Fired at Marine Corps National Museum http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/10/29/shots-fired-marine-corps-national-museum/

My district nominates a principal and then alternates. There are two spots open at the academy (potentially three). My question is how someone with an LOA or NAPS plays into this. There will only be about 15 people applying to USNA in my district. One is at NAPS now and another has an LOA...

Just submitted my application. Spoke to the coordinator/recruiter and will be meeting with him sometime next week to make sure everything is in order. Aiming/training to do my PFT in August, so hopefully he doesn't try to get me to do it any earlier since I'm sitting at a 230 right now...

Anyone else have guidance counselor problems? This is mainly just a rant. My goal was to get everything in for the USNA app by the end of school. Went to my teachers to get my recommendations. They turned them in the next day. I put together a "little packet" of all the information my...

Okay...today, lets just say I had a slight awakening. My academics are probably not as strong as they should be. I'm sitting at about a 3.4 GPA. My SAT is 590CR 580M. I do believe my extracurriculars are quite strong, however. 350+ volunteer hours at a single organization, a bit of other...

I'm going to switch over to the armstrong pullup plan so I can get my pullups up for the PFT and CFA. Right now I only do pullups on back days at the gym...3 sets of max. So I'm only doing pullups once a week now. The armstrong plan prescribes 5 days a week, and I'd like to be able to do the...

For those of you who attend or are familiar with cross-city schools. How do you guys get to the host school?

First, I am very suprised that there is really nothing on this site about going on an overnight, other than what to pack or what to wear. I got back last night from an overnight at Norwich and it was an amazing experience. If you are thinking of doing a campus tour, don't. Do an overnight. You...

I plan on doing an overnight at a few military colleges. I've got one planned at Norwich at the end of March. Was just curious as what I should wear when going to classes, etc...I was thinking just a polo and kahkis?

I will applying next year to USNA and USMMA. I'm just curious how the DodMERB process works. At what point can I start the process? How does the process work? For medical history do you fill out a form or do you send in all medical records you've accumulated from dermatologist, pediatrics, etc.?

I thought I'd go ahead and get a list going of the people who have accepted and selected their dates for this year's summer seminar. Provide the session you plan on attending and (if you want) the state you live in. I think it would be cool to see and get to know who else from your state is...

Just curious when the applications are going to be sent...

I'm looking into the national call to service enlistment (two year active, two year reserve) as a third option in case I don't get into an SA or ROTC. I would probably enlist as an 11B or 0311, with an end goal of becoming an infantry officer upon completion of college. Is it possible to...

Does anyone have any insight into the competitiveness of the 5th district in GA...specifically for USMMA and USNA?

I applied for summer seminar on 12/7/2009. Took a look at my summer seminar status page this morning, which displays "your application is under consideration." It used to be "application has not yet been proccessed."

I am particularly interested in NAPS...and was wondering about validating courses from NAPS to USNA. Does one have the ability to validate all overlapping classes from NAPS to USNA? Meaning if accepted to USNA from NAPS, a plebe would not have to take first year english, chem, physics, and calc...

My ultimate goal is to go through USNA and become an infantry officer in the USMC. My main question is what is a typical assignment for an infantry officer in the lower ranks? Would an infantry officer more likely be on the field or behind a desk?
