Can't offer any perspective, but would be curious to know how many AD sailors and Marines get a nom and good to go from their command and don't eventually get an appointment or selected for NAPS. Is a MARADMIN released showing who was selected? I know they do this for MECEP, but can't recall seeing one for USNA. I know everyone rambles on about not going enlisted if you don't get selected out of HS, but honestly my DS is nauseated at the thought of having to go to a civilian university for a year and then try again. One one tour, after about the 8th student with some sort of technicolor hairdo, he announced to my wife that there was no way in hell he was attending this school. I know you probably don't have a ton of spare time on your hands, but would love to get any perspective you have on your enlistment, etc.
