Capt MJ has been extremely thorough in disseminating information on this topic but, what is your 'go to' place to eat in Annapolis?
Nano's Asian Dining is pretty good. Sakura Cafe is not bad as well.
You also have Jimmy John's, Starbucks, and Chipotle in town.
I'll throw you a question back. Have you been accepted?
A couple of parents on this site have noted that their plebe mid is struggling with whether to stay at USNA. Those of us way on the other side of graduation have weighed in. As someone much closer to USNA today and also to being a plebe (but not yet in the Fleet), what advice would you give those plebes (or their parents) in terms of making a decision?
No I have not. Current junior. I have access and am able to talk to a lot of mids via SAF, Reddit, friends of friends etc. However I have no one that I can talk to going SpecWar. If I get into USNA, as cliche as it sounds, that's the route I want to take, and I think it would be nice to be able to talk to someone who has gone down that path.

Did you receive NROTC? If so, did you receive NROTC before or after USNA?
I talked to him this morning. His only answer to you is “Get accepted here first”.
Here is what I can tell you.
Your real “metric” begins your 2/C Year when you complete the PST.
If your PST scores are good enough, you will have an opportunity to complete the SEAL Screener that is held either in the Fall or Spring. The Screener is no joke. It’s 24 hours of no sleep and endless pain.
Based on your performance at the Screener, you will be selected to go to SOAS (Seal Officer Assessment and Selection). Think of it as a “mini-BUD/S” for 3 weeks held at Coronado CA.
SOAS is a 3-4 week training held the summer between your 2/C and 1/C Year. Assuming you do well at SOAS, you will be selected to go to BUD/S after graduation.
For reference, about 110 Mids reported to the PST by 2/C Year. By Service Assignment day November of 1/C Year, 35 were selected for SEALs.
are you saying you only wanted to become a naval officer if you could go to USNA? or if you didn't get accepted to USNA then you no longer wanted to pursue a commission?
no disrespect, i'm genuinely interested in your response. i sometimes come across this answer during bgo interviews, so i'm interested in what your motivation was when you were a candidate and if anything has changed since then
Yeah I've read a lot about the process and know it well and the path taken to get SpecWar service select. I wanted to just be able to ask about like personal insight, what someone did to train up to the PST, stuff like that. Wasn't the number selected for SEALs 30? I remember seeing somehwere that the amount for this year was 30 unless I'm wrong.
