Good evening, all! April 15th draws nearer... I logged in to check my portal this evening as I am still holding out hope for a NAPS or Foundation offer -- I did not receive a nomination. I noticed that the BGO Interview portion of the portal shows as "Received by USNA 3/27/24 11:08AM." I...

Good evening, all! Reading through another interview thread earlier today, I noticed that Old Navy BGO had this to say about MOC interviews: I don't doubt that this is generally a true statement -- it held true for my first interview. However, I had my second interview recently, and the...

Good evening! I'm getting what feels like a late start on scheduling my DODMERB exam and I'm somewhat confused by the DODMETS portal. I'm being asked to list a service, but I'm applying to multiple academies and therefore unsure what to list. I'm also planning to apply for ROTC-- will my exam be...

Good afternoon, all. It's that time of year again! I'm currently in the process of adjusting and finalizing my courses for senior year and I have 2 questions, both of which I'll be reaching out to my AO about as well, but I'd love to get some second opinions here on SAF. First off, I'll provide...

Inspired by threads on many other forums, this thread is pretty self-explanatory- what song, album, or artist have you been listening to lately? I'll start- I'm listening to Zach Bryan's album Quiet, Heavy Dreams. It's short, only 20 minutes, but it's a very nice album IMO.

I'm currently looking at taking some courses at my local community college- just across the street from my high school, in fact. For the record, I'm looking at air traffic control courses for the sole reason that they seem like a fun thing to do. I've had a chance to spend a few minutes in...

I know that I can be recruited into music groups by USCGA and Mass Maritime, but I haven't been able to find any information regarding the same for USNA. Does anyone know if this is a possibility? If so, who should I get in touch with?

I'm a current high school junior working to improve my extracurriculars with the goal of being admitted to USCGA. It seems to me that athletics are important to USCGA, but I don't currently play a high school sport. I do play rec soccer and I'm in pretty good shape, but do I need to play a...
