    Looks like we have some problem

    summer1942... Like others have mentioned it is a good problem to have. My daughter had a similar situation but probably a bit more difficult. She was offered direct admit to USAFA and NAPS. The AFA came in first and NAPS was about 3 weeks later. She also had a full scholarship to her plan B...

    Academic qualification can only be issued by USNA and not everyone is told upfront that they are academically qualified. If you are told that in an official letter from the Admissions department then you would not be considered for NAPS. Being offered a candidate number does not mean that you...

    Those that get 3Q'd are not eligible for NAPS because those have already met the "academically qualified" component and NAPS is to help on the academic side.

    CL1VE...No it does not. I know of someone that did just that after the freshman year of college. Not the regular route to take but was willing to do what was necessary to get to the goal and appointment at USNA.

    October 8-11. This is a likely a 3-day weekend for them. If you can plan on arriving on Thurs afternoon/evening (Oct 7th) that will probably be better so that you will be available for the Pass In Review that is normally scheduled on Friday morning.

    Providence is a smaller airport. I do not know of anyone that arrives on the morning of I-Day up there. I would plan on getting there on Monday afternoon.

    Who gets in?

    Nominations are not needed for the prep schools but you are not applying to those. You are applying to the Service Academy and therefore you will want to present your stongest packet and sell yourself with that as your goal. If the addmissions board finds something within you that they feel...

    Parents at I-Day

    Gaia ... We had the unfortunate situation of having to notify our daughter at NAPS that one of her grandparents had passed away and to get her home on emergency leave. The staff up there is wonderful and if you need the chaplain on the base to go over and be there then he will gladly do that...

    What are M/Cs issued at NAPS?

    They are not issued computers/laptops as personal items. They are "loaned" DOD computers that they are not allowed to make alterations to. These are the only computers that can be connected to the internet in the dorm. Connectivity is monitored by the IT department and they do block websites as...

    NAPS calendar ???

    Not really at the end of Indoc. It will end and they will have less than a week (if they hold to the same schedule as the past couple of years) before the Academic year starts. The NAPSters will have base liberty at the end of Indoc and they will have a celebration that is specifically...

    Priorenlisted: Most NAPSters will wear the compression shorts. As far as the rest of the underclothes, you are not issued any white uniforms at NAPS. Last class wore the blue diggies to glass and were also issued SBDs. White T-shirts would be smart, but underwear can be a little less strict as...

    mejmichael...only after INDOC is over. Not enough time during then to properly take care of them and you really do not want to risk getting an infection. You will be issued BCGs and will also need them for Plebe Summer at USNA so don't lose them.

    Can i bring a laptop to NAPS

    While you can bring it, unless specifically instructed by the staff not to do so, why would you want to if you are planning on using it for connection to the internet? Remember that any computer not issued by the Navy is not allowed to be connected to the network. Yes, they do check to see what...

    When will NAPS be sending out the final documents and paperwork?

    This normally does not come out until after the current class graduates and that is June 4th this year. I would not look for them before the first week of June at the earliest.

    "whole person" concept

    Two points stick out in the above that need addressing. 1. Lack of a nomination will not get you automatically to NAPS. If you are "scholastically qualified" then you are not eligible for NAPS. NAPS was originally designed to assist Midshipman Candidates scholastically to be better prepared...
