That chart is outdated. Starting with the Class of 2024 a C split was added.For the athletes, it isn’t really a continual “year”. It is split into two portions, an A-split and a B-split, depending on the sport. Essentially, a portion is completed during 3rd class year and another portion during 2nd class year See
Sea split chart for further explanation.
That's incorrect. The C split affects First Class men who will not return until the fall. Delaying sailing for a sport could mean not having the required sea days to graduate. ATR's are struggling to find enough ships due to embarc, delaying sailing when you are offered a ship would be crazy.The sea year split assignments are made according to sport to minimize the time missed. Remember that it only affects third class and second class midshipmen. If the team is in playoffs, bowl game, etc. (depending on the team) players can often delay reporting to their ship until the season is over.
Not according to the schedule I linked to in my post. 1st class year appears to be unaffected by sea year.That's incorrect. The C split affects First Class men who will not return until the fall. Delaying sailing for a sport could mean not having the required sea days to graduate. ATR's are struggling to find enough ships due to embarc, delaying sailing when you are offered a ship would be crazy.
You are correct. The Academic Policies Handbook (08/25/2022) has the following text:Like I said, the chart is out of date. You are wrong, the Academy added a C split which is not in your chart. View attachment 14344
