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...

Hello all, I have sent my application in and if I am honest, it is completely nerve-racking to me. I'm not sure if I can be accepted or not, but here are my stats and if anyone can give me a good read, it would be extremely helpful. I go to a very competitive private school outside of Annapolis...

When I went to the Naval Academy summer seminar I took a CFA and passed it. My naval academy application is finished and submitted. For my West Point Application I have the opportunity to request the CFA scores from the Naval Academy. Since I passed the CFA for the Naval Academy is that also a...

Hello all, Former Marine so Semper Fi. Say a plebe or a Midshipmen (I don't know the appropriate terms. At a regular college this hypothetical person would be called a "student") suffers some kind of catastrophic injury that prevents him from active service---falls of the o-course and breaks...

Hello all, I am currently a freshman and re-applicant to USNA attending a 4 year university in California and I am enrolled in our school's NROTC program. I have molded my schedule around what a plebe at USNA might take, including Calculus, Chemistry (with lab), and an English Comp. class and...

Hi all, I just began my fall semester of Junior year, and am wondering if I took enough classes and extracurriculars to maximize my chances to get into either West Point or Annapolis. My schedules over the years are as follows: 3 English classes (English 1 Honors, English 2 Honors, AP Lang) 4...

Hello, I have a question regarding the reapplication process to USNA and the acceptance of an NROTC scholarship. I am currently applying to the Naval Academy for the class of 2024. If I don't get an appointment, my plan B is to apply for a 4-year NROTC scholarship and reapply to the Naval...

Can a 2 year Community College student who is in the Air National Guard Pararescue apply to USMA/West Point if he's willing to join the U.S Army? The reason he wants to join USMA is because it's a good school that can build good character physically and mentally developing strong leadership...

Hello again, everyone. About two months ago, I posted My Reapplication to USNA to ask the Service Academy Forms community for their advice and opinions on reapplying should I be denied admission after being WAITLISTED. I have some new ideas and plans, but I also now have some very serious...

I attended a Marine Corps leadership program in Camp Pendleton last summer which was a life changing experience for me which initially interested me in serving and the Naval Academy. The program is not well known at all which worries me because I am afraid the admissions board will just write it...

I fully intend on reapplying if I don't get in this time around because it's been my dream to serve my country and attend USNA. I haven't received a TWE yet and I'm just wondering if it's ridiculous to think I could be appointed at this point in the process. When do they typically respond if so...

Hi everyone, I have been lucky enough to earn an appointment to USNA with the class of 2023 and also a NROTC Marine Option scholarship to the University of Michigan. Although having to choose is a great problem to have, I am conflicted on which route to select. USNA has been my dream school...

So my boyfriend is in the Navy Nuke program and there was a big group of them that applied and if I am correct they turned in their applications about a week ago. He told me yesterday that the academy had the selection board yesterday and I was just wondering if anyone had a clue how long it...
