Looks pretty close to what it was 50 years ago but I don’t remember “company training time”

Looking at the schedule, it looked like there are 6 class periods a day. Is this like "normal" universities where you will only have classes some periods, or do mids basically have class all day like in high school?

Only classes some periods. 6 periods per day is a total of 30 per week and mids are not in class for all 30. Those are things like getting haircuts, homework and other personal admin. As an athlete, I preferred to not have class during 6th period so that I could prepare for practice so I tried to schedule myself that way.

Ok cool, so it's like normal college in that respect then (just with a narrower window that classes can occur in)

Thanks!
 
I can offer a little more "behind the scenes" too:

As a plebe, morning workouts are required for most and start at 0530, so you'll get up at around 0515 ish, 3-5x a week (depends on company/batt)

Company training time from 1240-1320 is kinda sporadic, you may not have it some days, but when you do its mostly upperclassmen briefing you on stuff, study time for proknow, uniforms/room inspections, etc

Most teams have a 6th period blocker (no class,) and practices start at 3 instead of 345. Crew has a 1st period blocker bc they practice at 5am before school

Dinner isn't mando so you can choose to go or not. Many will get Steerage or order to save time for studying (or because the KH meal is less than desirable)

You'll have "come arounds," potential
military EMI, EMTs, or various other plebe things that are commitments at night. There's new rules that I'm not 100% on, but first semester company EMTs (workouts,) ran from 1900-2000. That 1900-2000 time usually has some commitment, either company level, forrestal lecture, shape/sapr briefs, etc.

This doesn't account for watch or ac watch, but you'll figure that out more down the road. But expect around 2 hours a night once per week to be standing watch, so unable to do anything other than stand at the desk

Back in the day of dinosaurs, a plebe’s schedule was pretty full stem to stern. Plebe (freshman year). year you would carry an 18 hour semester which worked out to be nearly every class period including some Saturday classes. Once you became a youngster (sophomore) you’d have more flexibility in developing your own class schedule as long as it supported getting the minimum hours to graduate. As another poster said, youngster afternoons (an afternoon with no classes) was a rare and treasured gift to yourself.
