Hey ya’ll, I have seen that close to 50% may fail the initial strength test right after I-Day. I was reading the page on physically preparing for PS and it said that plebes who don’t pass the initial PRT get sent to remedial training. Does this mean about half of the class will be in remedial...

Currently planning on investing my stipend into a S&P index until I learn and practice (via fake money on an app I have) trading individual securities.

Am I allowed to invest my midshipman salary into TSP or do I have to wait until AD? If I can't, does USNA have a 401k or do I have to just invest in a Roth IRA?

22nd platoon for me. @IronmanDaremo Isn't your kid in that company?

I apologize, I should’ve been more clear. I was asking if you could select what platform you’re on during Surface Warfare week?

Do y’all know if you can request what platform you’re on for PROTRAMID?

Semper Gumby.

Was there any particular reason why he wasn’t picked up for USMC?

Thank you so much for all of this. You are an incredible source of knowledge. I’ll have a staffer call next week and I’ll post in this forum if I have any luck.

Hey ya’ll, Recently I’ve been interning on the Hill for my local congressman while waiting for PS. This internship has proved to be immensely interesting and rewarding. I was wondering how are officers able to get selected for positions in legislative affairs? Is it a competitive process? And...

What is the average running pace for males during PS?

Will do. Thank you ma’am.

Can you elaborate on why your son’s interest in SEALs diminished so quickly? Is it because of swimming or did he find another passion? The endurance team/triathlon team both look like great alternatives to Crew. More than likely I’ll just keep training for PS and Crew and attempt to walk-on...

I personally haven’t ran with a ruck or swam intervals yet. However, I’ve been trying to get the fundamentals down for my CSS. Yes, I can run under a 10:30 but not by a lot.

Yes. I played baseball for 3 years and ran XC/TF this past year in addition to rowing.

Good evening everybody, Before I go into the rest of this post I first want to give some important background info. My main priority (besides doing well academically, physically, etc.) is to earn a SEAL billet from the academy and if I’m not able to be service assigned SEAL then hopefully go...

From when I went back in October it was around 200 candidates that attended the CVW. I don’t believe that the CVW, in and of itself, has an impact on your application status. However, from what I’ve gathered, USNA only invites candidates that might be a good fit at the academy. It’s not a...

I was simply wondering if it was a credit that I could validate or not. I’m putting in a ton of work into that class as well as AP micro, macro, and government to meet the scores required for validation. I don’t see the value of adding in sarcastic comments to someone who wants to get the best...
