1) Wake up at 500-530, depending on what day. Do PT (they call it PEP), come back, shower, and have breakfast. After breakfast we had classes until we stopped for lunch break around 1200. We continued classes after lunch. After all the classes were over, we had briefs for admissions, character development, etc. We usually ended up going back to the rooms after the briefs. We had dinner at around 1700-1800 (I don't remember the exact time). Dinner was followed by squad leader time, which usually meant intramurals, a tour around the campus, or just taking a nap. The platoon would gather up at around 2100 for something (I was still a bit sleepy from the naps so I don't really remember it that well). At 2200 we would have Blue and Gold and at 2230 it was lights out.
2) The food is typical southern food. I liked it better than West Point's food but the food at USNA is typically less healthy in my opinion.
3) Naps. I took so many naps there and I think other platoons did too judging from the silence on the deck. I memorized all the rates and I had nothing to do. I brought my ACT book with me and I did some practice tests there. We did make a skit and take a tour around the campus.
Miscellaneous: I lost a lot of weight from SLE, gained some weight from NASS. The CFA at NASS is better because it is in a nice, air-conditioned gym. The PT was not that difficult (hardest part was the 4-count flutter kicks). Getting to meals was a battle: not enough tables meant that squads were running down to Bancroft in order to claim a table (it's actually typical during the academic year of USNA too).
