    Candidate Visit Weekend - Thursday Dinner

    Ask a lot of questions and take it all in. Be respectful but also have fun with the visit! Speak up for yourself if there's something specific you want to do or see because your plebe can probably either help you with it or find someone who can.

    Plebe Venting

    @ARandomMid Hey, I'm a plebe too right now. I just wanted to reach out and say that you are not alone, and feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to vent to. This week was SO long for me. There were some really great, exciting things too. But it was rough. And I am exhausted. I...

    how to prepare for us naval academy as a 9th grader?

    Hey, I am a current plebe (currently taking a short break from cramming for my 12-week cyber exam tomorrow), and I also started thinking about applying when I was in 9th grade. To add on to all of the other great suggestions, my advice would be to learn how you learn. Develop your study habits...

    Most important physical quality for plebe summer

    Definitely run (a lot) but also practice the front leaning rest (a lot). I ran before Plebe Summer and that helped out for sure, and I was decent at push-ups, but the front leaning rest kicked my butt for the first couple of weeks before I adapted to it.

    I'm thinking of bailing

    I am so happy to hear that! Seriously, reach out whenever. Even after plebe summer and beyond. Let me know if you need a better way to contact me than on here, too.

    I'm thinking of bailing

    I was thinking the same thing. If @Plebe2be is up for it, I'd like to meet up too. Dragomir is right...you are not alone. Not one little bit. Also, I don't think the pm will work even after 5 messages though because I think you also need to have had the account for at least a week on top of...

    I'm thinking of bailing

    Hey, I am also a plebe to be (in Annapolis too, currently) and I don't have all of the experience or the incredible advice to give you that others have offered already. I don't have any perfect answers. But what I can do is let you know that you are not alone. I am terrified about this too...

    Post-Appointment Class of 2027 Hangout: PTR, I-Day, What To Bring, Leave Periods…all that endless new stuff

    Thank you for the responses. These are some really great ideas. One of my siblings is just a couple years younger than I am and there is a 6 year gap between the other one. I am worried about how this will affect them both, for different reasons.

    Post-Appointment Class of 2027 Hangout: PTR, I-Day, What To Bring, Leave Periods…all that endless new stuff

    Does anybody have any tips/ideas for maintaining contact and relationships with younger siblings? Anything I should make sure to be doing in the last several days before I-Day?

    Post-Appointment Class of 2027 Hangout: PTR, I-Day, What To Bring, Leave Periods…all that endless new stuff

    As far as important documents go...what exactly should we bring to I-Day? Social security card? Passport? Birth certificate? I want to bring what I am supposed to but I also don't want to risk things potentially being lost unnecessarily.

    Rethinking my decision.. help

    I have also received and accepted an appointment to USNA and I had the exact same feelings. I had been working towards USNA for years but when I actually received my appointment (after the initial burst of excitement), I had a big feeling of "Oh crap...what am I getting myself into?" I took 5...

    That would be amazing. I think I figured it out, I have already met the 5 posts but I have not had my account for long enough. So I have to wait a week, or you might be able to dm me to bypass the requirement. I’m sorry, I have been lurking on the forums for years now but never pulled the plug...
