Aye, aye, Captain!

May 15th, starting at 0800 hrs? On youtube just search herndon climb 2024 the day of the event - that is how I found the livestream last year.

Yep, about 10 am. DD sent a video of her accepting. They used Google Forms, instead of the CIS 🤔

We all know that THEIR Plebe Summer will be the last REAL Plebe Summer, easy or not. ;)

From what I have heard, those on the bubble go before a review board to plead their case today.

As an admin thing, Admissions may just wait until tomorrow to move forward on the waitlist? Just a thought.

For those on the waitlist - don't know if this will affect your status, but the midshipman candidates at NAPS have just been notified of their appointments (or not). They have until tomorrow 12noon to accept of decline. I imagine most will not wait until then, but maybe some movement on the...

From last year: You will be submitting thru your CIS portal documentation back to USNA, usu asap, very similar to incoming Plebes. You will have the enlistment deadline end of June. You will also submit some documentation directly to NAPS no later than a few days after July 4th. And, you will...

DD, currently at NAPS - if appointed to NAPS you will have a deadline to enlist in the Naval Reserve, typically end of June. Yes, some do show up without enlistment and do get sworn in at NAPS, but not many, and probably not a good look if not a good reason for putting it off. Caveat, you must...

Don't NROTC MO go to Quantico VA for OCS not Newport RI, somewhat different atmosphere I would imagine.

If he is fortunate to get the call to NAPS then he will NOT have to re-apply. His current information will be carried over into a new application and new CIS account - USNA will send him an email with the details. So, wait until the final status is determined. To save some time, if he truly...

Not much else. There are some "intra mural" sports and outdoor groups associated with the Navy base - my DD played once a week in an adult volleyball group on the base. Also, signed up for the outdoors "club" but when she had anytime off on the weekend she and her friends preferred to go to...

@usna1985 has the best suggestion, search on SAFs: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/529-plan-funds-options.77899/ I believe you will be given information near the end of plebe summer on how to use any 529 monies along with scholarship monies at the USNA, so look out for...

I am reminded that the purpose of the current 5 city "tour" is to generate more money than the traditional Philly venue so maybe we should not be surprised with the huge amount greed involved by the powers that be.

Last year our DD had to call around before she found the county police would do it. However, they would not mail it, even with a preaddressed envelope and postage. So she scanned it and sent it back to the USNA and additionally attached the pdf version to an email to her USNA admissions contact...

If you want USAFA then go USAFA. If you want USNA then go NAPS. Both are the Golden Ticket to getting in the following class year. But, yes, it will be a 5 year academic commitment, not 4. However, you get paid, brush up on your math, chemistry, physics and writing skills, learn military...

Most of the D1 sport coaches are not around during plebe summer - my DD told me they are not allowed to be there(??, need confirmation on that bit of scuttlebutt). However, there is a week or so during PS when the rising Firsties and Seconds will have informal "clinics" for each sport where...

Yes, your DD will get in the mail the acceptance letter in a nice 8x12 folder with the letter on the right side and a montage of USNA pix on the left side just like the current appointees to the Academy except the letter mentions NAPS, not USNA. My DD received hers within 2 weeks of appointment...
