    Notification of non-selection letter

    After the academies have determined who they are going to offer appointments, do they notify the non-selected that they did not get selected? If the Naval Academy is on a rolling admissions, do they tend to fill their available slots a lot earlier than the Air Force?When does the Naval academy...

    Academy Visit Advice Please

    If you have to stop and change planes or have a layover in Denver you may as well get off and grab a car to drive. The car rental place will come and get you and the rental lots are very close to the airport. It is only about an hour or so to get to Colorado Springs. You can also do some sight...

    Academy Portal updates and DoDmerb

    What should the Naval Academy Portal show if a candidate is qualified by DoDmerb? Should it say "qualified" as the Air Force Academys' does, or will it simply have a link to the DoDmerb site. Does the Naval Academy update the portal with medical qualified status? My candidate received a letter...

Then the officer canceled the appointment because he said we lived too far apart. Our family had already told the officer that we would...

    Alcohol usage and monitoring

    ScoutPilot, I am not referring to "Firsties". I am referring to incoming students (freshman or softmores in terms of other universitys) who are underage. I wouldn't expect anybody to "monitor or babysit" an adult who is at the legal age to drink. My expectations would be that if students are...

    Alcohol usage and monitoring

    Thanks Bandit, I was actually referring to on campus and not to facilities off campus. So, the monitoring would come from who ever is responsible for the kids while they are on campus. No, I didnt' realize that Haps bar was next to Arnold Hall....thanks for that information.

    Alcohol usage and monitoring

    I was recently super surprised to hear that alcohol incidents occur frequently at the service academies. I thought that the students would be monitored more strictly. How much "partying" really goes on at the Air Force Academy?

    Question- Naval Acad. Admissions Process

    It seems if they issued her a candidate # with a user name and password, then they consider her a "candidate". Does she have access to begin filling out the forms for the application when she logs in?

    CFA results and communication between academies

    If the candidates data under "required application documents" on the admissions website shows that the candidate completed a CFA with a date beside it, does that mean they passed the CFA? Also, how does one go about getting the results of the CFA from NASS, given to another academy?

    transportation for parents from airport to academy

    Well we took the supershuttle from BWI to our hotel in Annapolis. We learned that 2 city buses, the gold and brown, ran on Sunday-but they did not go by the posted schedules-flip a coin to see if they arrive. We learned that the Dillion 922 is a commuter bus that goes directly to DC and back to...

    transportation for parents from airport to academy

    Marvin7794, would you be willing to elaborate on the bus issue any further? We have had pretty good experiences with the bus systems in Seattle and Boston-once you get the blue, orange, red lines or other metro connections and subways figured out. Are there other issues aside from getting on the...
