Hey, I was wondering what I should do. My family is friends with An Admiral in the U.S. Navy, and I really want to go to the Naval Academy.

Which ROTC branch betters your chance of attaining a pilot or NFO spot? I've seen posts similar to this however most were posted before 2009. I plan on doing ROTC in college with the hopes of earning a 3 year scholarship (focused solely on applying to SAs and completely disregarded ROTC...

After not receiving the scholarship this year, I have decided continuing pursue either a 3 year scholarship, either at my first or second choice. When you join the college program, does anyone know if you have to immediately choose between Navy or Marine option? Or do you only choose once you...

I just checked the portal this morning, and I was not awarded the scholarship. I was rather surprised considering my credentials: 700 SAT equivalents on both sections, 3.9 GPA, 3 AP classes (all other classes were honors), very impressive results on my AFA, and I was admitted into both my #1...

I have heard that the Navy is switching from the NWU type one to the NWU type three. I have also heard that this will take place later this year (October or something.) So since the class of 2021 is joining the Navy in the year of the change, will we be issued type ones and later switch to the...

Hello, I am currently a junior in high school. Overall, I consider myself to be a very competitive applicant (high GPA, test scores, leadership, athletics) to The Coast Guard and Naval Academies. However, due to my genetic eye condition, amblyopia, my right eye is only correctable to 20/25. My...

Hi all, I'm a 2010 USNA Graduate and submarine officer who manages NUPOC Accessions for the Navy. NUPOC is an alternative commissioning source to ROTC and USNA that functions quite differently and focuses on engineers and other STEM majors (predominantly, but not exclusively). The program...
