Are there any awards or acknowledgements a Plebe can earn their first year? Thank You
 
Other than the honor list posted above, you will attempt to qualify pistol and rifle Plebe Summer. You have the change to earn Sharpshooter and Expert on both.
 
A Varsity "N"

Both my Son and I have them but neither of us did it as a plebe.

Avoid the black N.

Ehhh, my best friend, roommate as Ensigns and best man at my wedding is a retired flag officer. He earned several "regular" N's, recognition as an All-America and World Military Champion. I think he might be even fonder of his Black N. Funny thing, when he was a newly promoted one star, he had a meeting with a four star who had been the conduct officer at USNA when the Black N was given.

Back when the Earth was still cooling, part of Plebe knowledge was a John Paul Jones quote. . .
"He that will not risk will not win"
 
I however, was VERY glad to have avoided getting a Black N during my time at USNA. It was close call several times but luckily, I was unscathed
 
There are a lot of good stories surrounding the Black N "winners"....but not recommended for Plebes !
 
Apparently, Senator John McCain was dangerously close to getting a Black N.
His fellow Midshipmen insulated him from the "honor", however.
Apparently that was a good thing, because they say that he may have been thrown out.
 
One of my best friends has a Black N with Star. That is like seeing a unicorn. I had a lot of demerits, tours and restriction days during my time but never a Black N.
