Lets celebrate & share the good news for those receiving appointments to NAPS.
Utilize the format and process of the USNA Class Appointment lists.
THE FORMAT: This is the simplest and oldest format, a straight text list, no formatted tables, that is described in following paragraphs. If you decide to import a table or spreadsheet format to “help” the thread, please take full responsibility for it to the end of the cycle. Provide clear instructions. Check in regularly to help those who have trouble with it. Rescue those who give up or don’t bother and just leave a name in the hope someone will scoop it up and add it. The Class of 2025 list sputtered to a halt in a shambles, with names left behind and frustration abounding, until a kindly poster re-converted the data back to a simple list. Most posters can handle the simple list, and other posters find it relatively easy to help duplicate a simple list. Having a complete list at the end of the cycle can give hints of trends and is just plain fun to watch.
HOW TO ADD A NAME: This is self-reporting, self-updating and DIY. Mods don't update the list. Kindly posters occasionally do, but the burden falls on posters to copy the list, add their entry and post the updated list.
WHO SHOULD POST: This is meant primarily to be a list of appointees to NAPS. If you have a question to ask about admissions or NAPS, it probably deserves its own thread, and this one can stay relatively true to its purpose.
HOW TO CREATE UPDATED LIST: Copy the most recent list, paste into new post, use the next number, enter your info in a similar format, post. If you don’t do this, and just post an entry and not the updated list, you risk the next poster updating the last list, the one without your name, and leaving your entry stranded and not included. Please do the neighborly thing and update the entire list with your entry.
USING THE QUOTE FUNCTION:
Just using the Quote function and adding an entry does not create a complete, updated, new list, usable by the next poster. But - you can try using the Quote function, deleting the “quote stuff” at beginning and ending of list text does give you the list in non-quote form. Add your entry.
Don’t forget to go back and update Undecideds! Same drill - Copy list, paste into new thread, update your entry, post.
FORMAT:

I passed by the Yard today - white smoke coming out of the Admissions chimneys! Obscure reference to a periodic but unpredictable event in Vatican City. And there, I was trying to remember seeing any chimneys on the Fieldhouse...www.serviceacademyforums.com
