Not sure if you’re considering your other options, but despite letting Army have this year’s game (by one questionable call…in overtime…), the Catholic community at USNA is very strong and very active! Daily mass is well attended and Catholic Midshipman Club (CMC) works with FOCUS to put...

Go clubbers!♣️

Hello! As I-Day quickly approaches (!!), I have some random questions about this Summer and life at the Academy. None of them are super important (in fact, some might seem silly), just little details that might be useful to know about. If you also have random questions, feel free to add them to...

Could an appointee be immediately turned away on I-Day if unvaccinated against Covid-19? Given some of the paperwork in the PTR, it seems as if they’re preparing to handle Covid-19 like other mandatory vaccinations and administer a dose on site to anyone who doesn’t have proof of prior receipt...

How to Plebes deal with illness? With so many new people and such high stress, I can only imagine the epic battle the plebe immune system must wage. I also heard that adjusting to the food can make for some uncomfortable bathroom trips. Is that typical? If so, what do plebes do? Congrats on...

I let the deadline pass.

This is the exact position I’m in. I received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in March and was notified of my falcon foundation scholarship a few weeks later. In a similar mindset as you, albeit maybe a little less partial to USAFA, I accepted my appointment for USNA. I told...

Oh my gosh! This happened to me too! Recieved a BFE randomly today and thought it may have been an accident until I checked my portal! Crazy! I am so honored, but now I am very conflicted (I was getting excited about accepting an offer to USNA)! Lots of pros-and-cons-list-making tonight…

I declined my FFS offer and accepted an appointment to the United States Naval Academy!! Go Navy Beat Army and Air Force! Congrats to everyone who has selected to go the FFS route. Good luck!

I can’t tell you how exciting it was to read this response. Thank you so so much! So cool!

Hi! Thanks for creating and supporting this thread!! And congratulations on nearing the finish line! Must be a very exciting time for you :) Plebe Summer questions: What is the best thing you received/ wish you received in care package? Are you allowed to receive pictures? Candy? Do different...

Bumping so more appointees can get on board. :)

Same boat! However I ultimately decided to start working. Here’s what I was thinking: 1. I got a job at a climbing gym. My job comes with a membership (not cheap) and access to a ton of fitness resources. I’m also definitely more motivated to work out after shifts because I’m already there. It...

If you have the ability to track your runs (either with a watch as mentioned above or just your phone), you should get Strava!! Personally, it’s such a great motivator to maintain a streak and I feel so satisfied when I log early morning runs (I’m in a similar boat in that I’ve only been able to...

80 days until I-Day (tentatively)!!! Biggest piece of advice? I there anything you wish you had done/not-done in the final months before I-Day? Any and all advice, anecdotes, or random commentary about your final days of civilian life are appreciated. Thank you so much for lending your...

I still have 81 days before I head to Annapolis and my parents have already replaced me… He’s too cute to get upset though 😍😂

Let’s goooo! Congrats on finalizing your decision! See you in 84 days 😎

I started weening myself off coffee a few weeks ago. Didn’t know it would be this hard…
