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...

I'm a hopeful for the class of 2025 and I play piano as a member of my school's Jazz Band. I heard from a midshipman I know that Trident Brass is the USNA equivalent, and I've read their description (found here), but I can't find any more information about them online. Could anyone familiar with...

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...

Hello, I am a high school senior who has been appointed to USNA for the class of 2024. I heard that the Permit to Report Packet usually comes out around mid April, so I have been checking to see if anyone has heard anything or received theirs yet. Will the PTR be mailed to us, or will we have...

Got a DD here who really wants USNA. Applied to the other academies, and is hearing some positive things back from some of them regarding their respective applications, but no word on USNA. So I got a question; if DD gets an appointment to "X" Academy, is it a good idea to tell USNA about it, in...

Hi everyone, This is something I have never discussed with anyone in person.... but I figure sharing this with strangers within a forum is the easiest first step. Not sure if this is more therapeutic, but I am seeking advice as to what options I have for repayment of my SA debt, as well as any...

Hello everyone, So I would like some advice on this topic. I am sill awaiting a response from USMA, USAFA, and USNA to see if i obtained an appointment. That being said, If I happen to be denied from all three, I will absolutely be reapplying to USMA (my first choice) from whatever university...

Looks like USNA (among other academies) accept international students. Let's flip the roles here a bit, just for fun; are there any other service academies in the world that would accept U.S. students? Has any body here been to another country's service academy? It can be naval, but doesn't...

Hi friends, Should I plan/prepare to take any SAT subject tests? Does USAFA take the scores into consideration and can these even be submitted anywhere through the process? If so, which ones are recommended to take? Thanks

Anyone know if the Academy has a wait list? I've realized that with the timeline of all the appointments being given out now, I'm definitely not even close to being their first choice. I'm starting to realize that I probably won't be accepted, but even so, it would be an honor to even be...

This may be a stupid question, but are there any age waivers for enlisted applicants who are just a few days too old? My birthday would be in late June, and I believe I-Day for U.S. Naval Academy would be on July 1st (or a very similar date). If there is any possibility of getting an age waiver...
