Might be other reasons that certain plebes weren’t in Alphas. Could be issues during uniform issuance, some injury preventing wearing that uniform and others that more informed can relay. All in all, it’salways nice to see them in a different uniform, but being that USN has about 12 different...

In the civilian world of firearms safety classes/tests, they teach that the first rule is “always point the firearm in a safe direction.” In every certification test I took, I always wanted to say….Uh….the none of these are the right answer 🤣 but it wasn’t a hill worth dying on.

Definitely my favorite “off the rails” thread so far but the following is more or less a time stamp for me to reflect back on a couple years from now. Soon to be a plebe no more, DD entered with an aim for Dental Corps. Post advisor meeting and snagging San Diego PROTRAMID, is aiming much, much...

We might have to split this pot, so to speak, but with the extremes of 08 consisting of Emmitsburg and Potomac, not sure there are more polarizing opposites when voting comes around 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations to all! DD is plebe from 08 so I was happy when MD finally broke in and with someone from 08! MD-08 is probably the poster child for the definition of gerrymandering so 45 minutes really depends on where in 08 someone resides - that and traffic of course 🤣

Fortunately we didn’t deal with this first hand but I’m hoping someone here can comment, if not already covered, that notification from USNA to a parent/guardian of an illness, injury, etc during PS is almost non-existent depending on the severity. Plebes only have written letters and 2 phone...

————LONG(ish) POST WARNING————— I know this isn’t the “advice for ‘26” thread…but when that starts can someone sticky the same cliche reminder from past years because I’ll attest to it (for what that’s worth)…. sit back, buckle up and hang on for what is an incredible ride (for the vast...

Can’t believe (I mean of course I can) that there are #40 on this board and still no sign of a MD appointment. I think there were 3-4 by this mark last year. Congratulations to everyone and keep them coming!

FWIW…Raskin (MD-08) usually releases his right around this time so good chance it’s his.

Six and split

1 pull up is better but I can say from firsthand knowledge that I know of someone who received an appointment with a FAH.

When in doubt….rescue a puppy!

Holy new charts! The offer date one should have a “might give crossed-eyes” warning. In all seriousness, these are fantastic and thank you putting them together....and for some reason, I’m off to have some pie. Hopefully @Supersix00 will partake as well.

Not sure but I did see a shoe horn and chapstick listed so they do get pretty granular 😂

7 upvotes for Capt MJ’s reply, and by narrow, I believe 15 is the max per current “regulations,” I’m sure there’s a more technical term. That said, the max is often not the number of billets given out. At our most recent visit, the previous year was 11, so about 1 percent of the commissioning class.

Like some here, I only know from the outside, but generally speaking, identified recruited athletes often have LOA’s and, in competitive districts for example, will not be the slate winner as the USNA can often “find” a place to charge them if USNA sees fit to do so (read Blue Chip). By no...

It was just about 7 days from the MOC phone call to the email confirming and requesting Appointment confirmation. And it came about 2:30 a.m. local time. FWIW, the next email received after accepting the Appointment was a couple days later and looked “suspiscious” as the subject was...

It came as a reply to her appointment acceptance from “Nominations and Appointments Office of Admissions.”
