NAPS offers 2022

OUTSTANDING!!!! Calling the NAPS POC was key. My DD has appointment set for June 6th, day after HS graduation.

E1 basic pay is: $1,773.00/month. Should start in August. If possible, get a Navy Federal Credit Union account:

Thank you so much Alchemist
 
I’m not sure whats referred to, here, as far as needing a recruiter, or trusting the process.

If you are having issues, try a different office. Or go to a big Navy headquarter (maybe even out of town), not a small satellite office. Or a Navy Reserves office. I’m not familiar with what’s required, but I do know from local stories here, that sometimes it’s a challenge (like the police records check). And not from the lack of a work ethic, but more from an understanding of what going on/required.

NAPS is a weird thing, for someone unfamiliar. A recruiter. Even less understanding of NAPS, than USNA. And recruiters are currently way over worked (watch the news).

I think the secret is hitting the right person. But I also know that’s sometimes a challenge.
Trusting the process….have heard horror stories of trips to recruiting offices, and my best friend will tell ya today that his success in the USMC, and his economic success thereafter, was based in his recruiter emphasizing “avionics.”

Just hoping that in the event my ds has the opportunity of NAPS, that neither he nor the recruiter could mess that up.
 
Off the NAPS waitlist! I received a NAPS waitlist on April 13th (I accepted immediately). Yesterday I received a NAPS- Conditional Offer (LOA) on my USNA portal. This morning I received an email from USNA with an application decision. It's official...NAPS decision! I am soooo excited to join the NAPS instagram group chat. Congratulations to all those who are starting to move from the waitlist!

Congratulations! But essentially this makes two examples of a disregard of the May 1st deadline on this message board.
 
I thought I read offered students would decide by May 1…..and then they would pull from the waitlist

Oh.

I thought May 1 was a target date. And they would try to settle classes by that date and fill slots as they are decided.

I am interested in seeing the responses from people that know the technical stuff.
 
There are multiple action sequences happening, with some fluidity in May and June, some with specific applicant decision or notification dates:

⚓️Offers of appointment to USNA, to be accepted or declined.
⚓️Conditional offers of appointment to USNA, awaiting resolution of a required element, such as a medical waiver.
⚓️Offers of a place on the appointment waitlist, to be accepted or declined, and await notification if pulled or released.
⚓️Notification of not being offered an appointment this year.
⚓️Offer of appointment to NAPS.
⚓️Offer of USNA Foundation scholarship.
⚓️Offer of a place on NAPS waitlist.
⚓️Offer of 2 ibuprofen for my head as I try to track all this and lay it out. No doubt I have missed something. Think Ben Hur and the chariot race in the coliseum.


Bottom line: USNA Admissions is in the homestretch in May and June, fitting the final puzzle pieces. No doubt many who are offered appointments will wait to submit their decisions on 1 May itself, if that is their decision deadline. Admissions will have a much better idea on 2 May, after they do some collating, how much leeway they have to pull from the appointment waitlist. Some candidates will be teetering on knife edges of various offers. It will all be worked out, a spot and a candidate at a time, until victory is declared and the cycle effectively closes. They will be down to onesie-twosies at some point.

And since I don’t think I’ve managed to work in vintage Ben-Hur before, enjoy the clip, with my salute to Admissions with the white horse team.

Question for @CaptMJ: I understand that the NAPSTERS who go on to the Academy report one day before the rest of the plebes, who report on the traditional I-Doc day. How does this work? Wondering from a parents view, we would need a hotel one day earlier, then drop off DD/DS and head back to lodging. I assume we would not be getting up early on I-Doc day as we do not have anyone to drop off bec the NAPSTERS stay the night prior to I-Doc day, correct?. So, we would be returning to the campus when the all the plebes march out for their oath in the late afternoon, then say our goodbyes before the doors slam shut?

That’s essentially it, though you might want to come on the Yard to shop at the Mid Store (can do day before too), hear the Supe’s brief, get some lunch on Yard or DTA, enjoy the atmosphere, get a good spot for the Oath.

Work your way through:

Is anyone able to open the questionnaire on the portal? We can get to all of the other documents (police background check, etc) but keep getting an error message on the questionnaire.

Download the documents. Download Adobe. Open the Adobe app, and from “inside of the app” open the documents. I hope you understood.
 
The questionnaire in the portal. We were able to open and access all of the other documents (police check, etc) but the questionnaire won’t open. We have tried different browsers, different approaches, different devices. No luck.
this is what is in the NAPS document directory, which one do you need:
