Got asked to give a first salute to one of my old detailers/firsties, we are pretty close. Was thinking of giving a super small gift as an end of the year gratitude thing. Any thoughts? Going subs.

Applied for AMEX Plat card today with my roommate and we both got denied under insufficient funds. Should we put o1 pay or? seems like everyone here has a card so Im confused as to how I got denied

Hey literally no one in my company did a MAGTF so wondering if I can get an answer here. I (plebe) got drafted for a MAGTF this summer and saw something about a screener that we do after finals? Anyone have a gouge on this?

As senior year is starting to wind down and the stress/excitement/anxiety about IDay begins to brew, I thought I’d share some thoughts and tips that I would have appreciated as a plebe-to-be. Firstly, try your hardest to be present in all of the senior year activities. It’s easy to stress and...

Plebe here. Got block 1 protramid. Of course schedule could change, but whats the gouge on why its so disliked? Any tips on making the best of it?

Current plebe, just got contacted for a background investigation. Is this a normal part of getting clearance? Or should I be concerned

I loved this forum while I was applying. Class of 28 or whoever else ask anything

As IDay rolls closer, my mom is feeling what I would assume are common "mom-emotions." As a non-military family, she doesn't have any experiences that would reassure her about the Academy and the Navy as a whole, so she is worried about my quality of life in general. Do any moms/parents here...

I try to eat a small amount of gluten/breads just because it helps me prioritize protein and not fill up on carbs. Any insight on if the Academy has good food options that aren't carby/gluteny. Obviously I eat gluten here and there but I try my best to replace it with other food groups. Any...

The Navy is aware of my one time marijuana use, despite the common threads with this title usually involving kids asking if they should lie lol. But there is a question asking about any illegal purchase of a drug. If I purchased the marijuana from a classmate I should list it, right? Not trying...

Hi. I have silent gallstones and my doctor is recommending to get it removed. However, he said if I want to wait to see if I have another attack/it gets better I can. If I wait and end up wanting to remove it at Navy is this able to be done? It is a pretty harmless procedure from what he said...

Is there a way to see what classes are taken with each major? Just curious to see the differences in the various science majors, and to see what courses we take with a lab and things like that!

Due to multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat a nasty cough and stress from school, I think I may have developed a stomach ulcer. My doctor has just encouraged me to make some lifestyle changes and to use some OTC medicine to let my stomach heal from all the antibiotics. They offered to refer...

Anyone here familiar with softball at Navy? Wondering in terms of how competitive it is to earn a spot on the team. Since there's no D1 team I would assume that the club team is mostly full with girls who played in highschool/had offers to play in college. I didn't play in highchool since it...

I've had a sore back and shoulders for a couple weeks and brought it up to my doctor. They said there's no injury or anything, but it's probably just sore from overuse with sports and lifting, or it could be the way I am sleeping on it. They recommended seeing a physical therapist to stretch it...

Hi all! This might be a little early but I saw a thread for USAFA appointees that they used during the wait so I thought I would make one for USNA appointees! Hopefully this can be used to throw some questions back and forth and just to serve as a hangout until I Day. Congrats all! Can't wait to...

Is it allowed for a plebe to bring a Bible to plebe summer? I know there won't be a lot of time to read but even just a verse or two at night would be amazing

I have seen some posters about being turned away on IDAY for medical reasons, what would be the cause of this? I have a waiver and recently updated my DoDMERB history and was given the green light, but has USNA ever changed their mind on a waiver or anything like that on I DAY? Let me know if I...

I have two tiny (both can be covered with one fingertip) "stick and poke" tattoos from a couple months ago, or ones not done deep enough to last permanently. They will fade until gone, one of them has already faded considerably. They are both completely hidden when wearing a swimsuit or regular...

Having just received an appointment a few days ago, I was immediately ecstatic and thrilled. I immediately accepted it. I have been committed to going to USNA since 8th grade and was so elated to receive an appointment. Now, as the immediate excitement wears off, I find myself dreading the...
