I would appreciate some insight on some of the "choices" for summer assignments Plebes are requesting in the near future. What are the most competitive and/or requested assignments.....Summer Seminar staff ?

thanks,

You could hop in a YP, and drive in the way of an operational Coast Guard cutter heading to the Cape Cod Canal....oh wait, that's already been done. :wink:
 
There is also a sailing cruise on one of the Navy's 44ft sailboats. You spend a little over a week sailing around the Bay and then sail to Newport RI, spend a few days there and then sail back to Annapolis.
 
Honestly, the best people with whom to discuss this are youngsters. If you're currently a plebe, that should be no problem. If you're not a plebe, don't worry about your youngerster summer until you are a plebe as what you do during the summer changes from year to year, so what is available/desireable now may not be next summer.

You can do any number of MARSOT trainings, but most require the MARSOT screener (not a huge deal). Those are things like jump school or mountain warfare school or air assault. A lot of mids also go on NOLS courses, and then of course the summer cruise. Other options are NASS or STEM, and then voluntary or involuntary summer school.
 
Probably better to start a new thread. Some older threads contain out-dated information and if someone doesn't read carefully, they may miss that the discussion was from several years ago.
