So I have been recently confused about who can write my recommendation letters. So my question is, do recommendation letters from 11th grade English and math teachers have more weight in the nomination/admission process. Also, am I able to get a letter of recommendation from any other teachers.

Hello! I'm trying to decide between USAFA and USNA (a good problem to have, but an incredibly difficult decision) and wanted to get some experienced input on how close to the action I would be as a pilot in the Navy. And, well, what are my chances of being selected for a pilot slot? I'm leaning...

Hello everybody! I just recently received an LOA to USNA. Everything is checked off on my portal, so I know my appointment is coming. I was just wondering if anybody could offer their timeline as to how long it took for you to receive your "official appointment" after all conditions of your LOA...

Hello all! I have been accepted to USAFA for class of '25, and have not yet heard from Navy. However, I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that I might have to make a very difficult decision in the next few weeks if I'm also accepted to USNA. I wanted to get some experienced...

I was just wondering if anybody has received their BFE from USNA yet; if so, how long did it take for it to arrive after you received an appointment?

For those who were admitted into the Service Academies or attended them can you share your GPA, CFA score, and Stats so that everyone else can have an Idea of the average scores to point at, thank you in advance for your precious help! :D

Pretty much as the title says. Also, does your sleep schedule change over the weekends or summer training?

I am an active applicant to the United States Naval Academy. On November 27, 2020, I received from DoDMERB that I was determined as qualified medically for the Naval Academy. Today, the Naval Academy has not received my medical qualification and it is the only thing left out of my Naval Academy...

Dear All, I am currently a Junior studying at a International School (American Curriculum) in the Philippines and I am a US Citizen by birth. Both my parents are not US citizens, but I have relatives (aunt/uncle) that currently live in the US (California, Michigan, etc). Would It be possible...

I just received a call this morning from my state’s representative in which I received a nomination from that I had been awarded an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. My portal does not yet show the appointment, and I was wondering when it would update? Also when do you think my...

Hey there all! I hope you’re doing well! I’m applying to all three of the service academies, and I’m in the finishing touches of my applications for all of them. I just took my CFA yesterday morning and was wondering how my scores looked? I haven’t received any contact from the academies yet...

Good Evening All! It has been a couple of years since my last time on this form, but it's nice to be back! Sadly, I am applying to the Naval Academy for my last time. After this year, I will be too old for the next I-Day. Between my first application in High School and now, I've enlisted in...

Howdy, I am planning on applying to USAFA/USNA/NROTC. I looked up a lot of info on career after grad, but couldn’t find a lot on the relationships between officers and enlisted personnel and between squadrons in general. How is leadership relevant/used when a pilot? On a daily basis? During...

I'm well aware that if I attend USNA, it is very hard to land a slot in intel when you initially commission. However, I came across that there are Option programs where you serve X amount of time as a SWO and then automatically transfer to another area such as Intel or IP. I'm a bit confused on...

Hello there! I’m going into my senior year of high school and I want to pursue either a West Point Appointment, A Naval Academy Appointment, or an Army ROTC scholarship during the upcoming months. I’d like some advice on where I can boost my chances of getting an appointment and/or a...

Hello! Do you need several nominations if you plan to apply to all the service academies? Is it more of you just need one person (Senator, Congressman, Vice-President, etc.) to nominate you to all the service academies you've applied to? Would you need to attend several interviews for each...

Hi everyone! I have applied for the class of '25 for both USNA and USAFA in hopes of getting into either one in order to pursue a military career. I've taken quarantine to really look into all the career opportunities available to me after the academy in both branches. I think both academies...

Hey all, I was wondering if there's a limit to how bad your eyes can be, or if they just have to be correctable to 20/20. My current prescription is -8.00 in my left eye and -7.75 in my right eye, however they are both corrected to 20/20 with glasses with slight astigmatism in both. Based on...

I received my TWE today from the Naval Academy. As a third-year community college student, I feel like I'm stuck in the mud because I really don't have a plan B other than continuing my college course work. I went from a 2.3 GPA in high school to a 4.0 in college because I gained interest in...

Currently, I am serving in the U.S. Navy, and am currently in "A School" (technical training for my rate/MOS). I need help understanding what next to do in the process of seeking my nomination. I understand that since I am currently enlisted, I must apply for SECNAV (the Secretary of the Navy...
