Class of 2020 Induction Day

The sights and sounds of the Class of 2020 Induction Day including behind-the-scenes footage of in processing in Alumni Hall; the Welcome Aboard Picnic for parents, family and friends hosted by the Alumni Association and Foundation with members of the Another Link in the Chain Class of 1970; the Oath of Office Ceremony in Tecumseh Court; and the final farewells before Plebe Summer really begins for the incoming midshipmen. Welcome aboard, Class of 2020!
Induction Day or I-Day is the official name for the first day of Plebe Summer at the United States Naval Academy. Typically held in late June or early July, this is the day on which the members of the newest Naval Academy class arrive in Annapolis; for most, it is also their first day in the military.

If you're like my Mother was back at the first day of Parents' Weekend, 1953, you won't recognize David.

[@sethblanton4169]

[@tristannewkirk7354]

To bad that their senior year would get cut short due to Corona

[@jurrod]

I saw my brother in this :D. I miss him...

[@qtrfoil]

Trust me, he misses you like you wouldn't believe. Mail him an actual letter - he may save it forever!

[@victoriabalser2059]

Thank you for putting that video together. My son is due to report for i-day on June 27th and I had no idea what to expect, this video helped a lot.

[@ptflats]

Rick Purcell God bless you, you come from strong stock, your Mom looks amazing!

[@andrewschrock6600]

Stupid question but do the cadets who are going in as a Marine get Marine Corps uniforms or do they all wear Navy uniforms?

[@USNAAlumni]

All midshipmen wear naval uniforms until graduation day when they are commissioned.

[@andrewschrock6600]

Okay thank you.

[@SaltiDawg2008]

[@davidsilabanofficial210]

A college degree can get into the U.S. military naval academy and maximum age limit and a few years pass the U.S. military naval academy

[@gamerking5282]

No more hazing no more marching to class we all took the same classes except language

[@Andrew-oh4xs]

how many years in the navy or marines are they required to do after graduation and being commissioned as officers?

[@USNAAlumni]

5.

[@paulajrodman7460]

And just think, in 30 days they're Plebes no more! Go Navy!

[@SaltiDawg2008]

Huh? They'll be Plebes until the end of the full year plus summer... until after the Herndon Monument Ceremony.

[@Cacaluta]

how can I join and is there an academy in tx?

[@marieklapmeyer4981]

The naval academy is located in Annapolis, Maryland

[@atropiaveteran]

Texas A&M is a senior military academy in Texas, but graduating from their Corps of Cadets doesn't guarantee a commission into the military. Instead, they commission through the ROTC program. Just an FYI.

[@kevtheman7226]

And it's also extremely hard to get into

[@atropiaveteran]

KevDog S Texas A&M (VaTech too) have separate admissions lists for their Corps of Cadets so you aren't competing against the same pool of applicants.
