- Follow me in a typical day of my life at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. I filmed this whole video on an LG-6 phone! Thanks for watching my first ever vlog video! Really appreciate the support.
My name is Justin Chu and I am currently a freshman studying Robotics and Control Engineering at the US Naval Academy. I currently play Division 1 Water Polo at USNA and am looking into making new vlogs about my journey in college.

I graduated from USNA in 1984. Interesting to see that while many of the details have changed, so much remains the same. Nicely done.
Robin Myers ... Thank you for your service
Robin what was/is your job after academy?
Did you know Glenn Staahl?
@@LittleSpecks you go where?
I am having a hard time deciding whether I should join the Air Force Academy and go to the Air Force obviously or the Naval Academy and go to the Navy. I want to be a pilot. I wish to join one of the academies but what are you guys think. I don’t really want to go to traditional school but if I had to I would.
Literally everyone: Why are you vlogging?
Justin: Yes
Lol 😂
I am currently a senior in high school waiting to hear back from the academy and this video is amazing. There aren’t that many people on TH-cam that are vlogging at USNA so I would definitely love to see more come from you. Keep up the great work! Also maybe in the future invest into a better camera! Go Navy! Beat Army!
Thanks Will! Really appreciate the feedback. Hope to see you here next year!
Same
Any suggestions for a freshman in hs who wants to get in to USNA? I play sports, play in marching band, and I am currently enrolled in all honor classes.
Yeoj keep on taking the hardest classes you can manage as well as challenge yourself outside of school with varsity sports, leadership activities, and things to stay in shape. Best of luck.
Will Strassell thanks
Please don’t be another USMA/USNA you tuber that just randomly stops uploading your amazing keep going!!!
I really appreciate that. Another video is on the way!
Um, as long as he doesn’t get deployed
@@Evandarlingisdaddy I mean in his time at the academy.
Finished the application for the class of 2026 a few weeks ago. My advice to applicants: GET IT DONE. It will get VERY discouraging at some points but that’s the idea.
Fully completing USNA’s application is an accomplishment in of itself. It requires you keep your head down and step out of your comfort zone. It requires you to ask for help. If you’re currently a High school Junior, begin your research now! Apply to summer seminar! You’ve got this!!
AMEN
I went to the USNA 2023 Summer STEM program, it was one of my best memories of the entire summer. Now I'm going into 9th grade- hope you can see this :) Nice documentation
Class of 2017 here. This definitely brought back memories. 8:51 where I used to walk back from the library every evening after nightly studies for exams. What good times I had.
It made me really happy watching this. I'm a senior at uc riverside, currently and we have just about the same structure life style. I also really soke it in, take pictures in the mirror etc. Up at 0400, gym, class at 0800, hit the pool deck and track around noon-afternoon. It's a schedule I really enjoy and can really feel it when watching this. I am also omw to the Navy brother. Thank you for the video.
By far the best insight I’ve seen into the day of a Midshipman. Thank you very much for sharing a day with us!!
I applied to the class of 2026 and am still waiting to hear back. The application process was no cake walk but even if I am not accepted I know the experience in of itself was totally worth it! This video helped me to get an inside perspective of what life at the academy would be like for me, so thank you! Good luck to everyone else who applied or plans to apply in the future. Go navy beat army!
People were making fun of you for vlogging but this is so great. tysm for this
What a fantastic vid. Hard work and a wonderful education will take you far cadet. What you have already accomplished puts you head and shoulders above your peers in the country. Outstanding!
this is awesome
yeesh u got a lotta subs
Agreed
Dude, I really liked this video, now I know what to expect when I get there, I hope that you keep doing videos like this. It also looks like a cozy place. !Go NAVY! always beating the Army.
I have so much respect for all you young people who do this job to serve your country 🇺🇸👍❤️. God bless you all
Great video! Thank you very much for taking the time to record this and give us some very interesting insight into your life.
Applying this Spring! Can't wait to be here. Thanks for showing how things are like.
awh you have the math teacher that yells whenever someone yawns. i’m sad she’s retiring
haha same
This was a really cool and insightful video! thank you for sharing this with us
Thrilling to see this -- thanks for taking the time and effort to share it!
Thank you for doing this, truly. Please continue with these!
so awesome, my son just started plebe summer. you are a very inspiring young man, thank you for sharing your day in the life. GO NAVY!!
I love your video. I show it to my 8-year son and let him know about the life in Navy academy. It reminds me of my 2-year military life while I was serving in the air force in Taiwan between 1993-1995!!! very well-made video!!
I loved this! I am just a sophomore in high school but am trying to get ready for applying to a service academy. I had some doubts on whether or not I wanted to do this but after watching this video this is definitely something I want to work towards. Thanks
Thank you for your service! We appreciate you and all your doing!
My nephew Cj 💙 join the Navy Academy on the 30th of June 2022.He came back from the Navy Academy after staying in for 4month.he is working to finish the next 4yrs .Its was rough when he went in. But now he is learning to adjust..
I love how you still make time to read the word! Praise the Lord! Also love your video, great job!
Great school. I particularly like when everyone stand up to greet instructor and before class dismissed.
Hi Justin.
Very much enjoyed your video. You did a great job in providing a comprehensive look at your typical day.
I'm also impressed with your being in the Academy! They don't take just anyone...
I was in the Navy from 09-09-1970 to 07-01-1976.
I served on the nuclear attack submarine USS Haddo SSN 604.
God Bless you for your service to your country!!
Thank you for your service.
The academy seems to have a very good vibe. Relaxed and friendly.
BTW, the gym looks awesome!
This is cool. My family sponsored Mids growing up and I got to create long lasting friendships with my sponsor brothers and sisters from the Academy, many still serving today.
Just got my rejection letter, but seeing this made me smile. The Academy was my dream for so long. I hope you are enjoying your time there. I loved the video and would love to see more!
Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. If you ever have any interest in applying next year, I really recommend it. I know a lot of people that got got in on their 2nd and 3rd tries. Good luck this next year!
F
Hannah Cohen bro same, im enlisted rn and my division officer was telling me i was gonna make it, gotta reapply
Hey Hannah! Replying to say that I got med DQ'd last year from USNA and other academies BUT that if you still wanna do military in college- ROTC is a fantastic way to go. Sadly my Med DQ also applied to NROTC (because I sent them the same medical) but this year I started AFROTC in college and I love it. It's honestly a perfect balance between Military college life and regular college life!
Hannah Cohen Just enlist
Great video keep it up! I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future!
I’m a senior commenting to say I’ll be applying this cycle, and am super inspired by your vids! Wish me luck
Thanks for the video and for allowing us to have a glance at your routine in the Academy.
Well done! Stunning to see so many similarities to my Class of '87 experience.
Excellent job! Keep it up! Nice to see what a real Naval Academy day looks like!!
same I'll see you there oh yeah yeah
I am in 10th grade and prospecting possible colleges, my father is a 1990 graduate. after watching this I am fired up and ready to commit to getting accepted to USNA! Thank you so much for inspiring me! GO CLASS OF 2029! BEAT ARMY!
go to regular college man, trust me
@@griot1722 Yup! research is a persuasive thing XD Planning on Going to Liberty now!
This is so amazing - the young cadets are so up and at it, so energetic even in the early morning. Even a textbook called Nautical Navigation.
Thanks for sharing! My youngster is Kyle Jung Company 9, class of 2022.
Nice to visually see the goings on in the yard!
Just got my appointment to West Point last week. Hoping to get one from navy as that is my top choice! Thank you for making this video if gives us a good idea of what to expect, at least I hope it does😅. Glad to see so many people adamant about serving our country!
Thanks Preston congrats on your acceptance!
Wow you guy and girls are kicking ass. Thank you for all of your dedication
Good luck ! My dad was class of 59. So proud of that guy, he could do ANYTHING
I'm a freshman in high school and have always wanted to be in the military. My father is/ was a chaplain at the academy there last year soooooo I kinda want to join after seeing and hearing all about it. Thanks for the vlog💕
Nice vlog! Glad to see more people doing it. 😎 Keep up the great work!
Is your profile pic a west point uniform?
@JC You had a gorgeous Navy women in you chemistry class. Thank you for showing this video. It's good for people to see military life at the academy's. You had tough classes as a freshman.
I was in the first class of BOOST...now STA-21. Injured back and had to drop. Ended up getting commission with Air Force years later. Thanks for the video.
Have two friends who go to the academy. Nice to see what a day in the life is like for you.
Wow this video is great! I want to go to the USNA someday so seeing this is awesome!
Thank you for sharing! I applied to USNA was not accepted. This video gave me a glimpse of being a Mid Shipment! Best of success!
Que rotina perfeita! Parabéns pelo vídeo!
Thanks for the insight, they do keep you guys busy.
I’m currently a sophomore, and my dream is to attend the Academy. I’ll be applying for the summer seminar next year, and submitting my preliminary application. Pray for me and wish me luck! Great vids man, I love all of them!
I went to USNAs summer seminar in 2018! It was an amazing time I hope you get in! Also words of advice if you do: don't bring sneakers that you want to keep clean- lots of kids my year had to end up throwing theirs out, I didn't, but it happened. Bring a half full suitcase, you're not gonna need a lot and they're gonna send you home with A LOT of stuff. Finally, the days are long but the week is short so be sure to take in every moment.
Have you seen the movie ANNAPOLIS? You should see it! My 9 year old son loves it. He wants to earn an appointment there also! Good luck to you!
@@Burzurk1987 It was not filmed in Annapolis or even Maryland tho :-( I grew up in Annapolis & still live nearby on the Chesapeake Bay, so it was disappointing for me. Any Mid will tell you (or my dad who graduated from the USNA) or me a Navy brat, it's not very accurate and riddled with big & little errors. Annapolis is a great place to visit (along w/ DC), so bring him for a vacation when the pandemic is over. You can tour the Constellation in Baltimore's inner harbor, the Navy's last sail only warship commissioned in 1855. If he sees it and meets some mids, it may really help him to focus on his goal and I wish him all the best for it! Check into summer programs they have for high schoolers too.
Thank you for posting this!!!! My boyfriend will be leaving for USNA in a month and I don’t know what he’s doing while he’s up there
Don't worry. He's in good hands
super awesome ty for sharing glad you are living your dream. The female cadet at 4:14 is super beautiful and obviously smart and a patriot being at the academy tell her we're rooting for her. Best wishes to you all.
I know your roommate Ryan Alexus!!! He was a Chief in our Sea Cadet unit. It's so cool that you guys were roommates!
That is so awesome. I live right by him too
Thanks for that view of Plebe life. Quite different from when I was a Plebe. Lee Mager USNA 1965. And, Beat Army!!!
Hi Lee,
I agree. lol
s/ Retired 24 Year US Navy Submariner - USNA Class of 1965 - Former Enlisted Man
This honestly looks like a super motivated enlisted bootcamp plus college courses
As someone whose CVW just got cancelled this video was super helpful!!
Love it!! Great music too!
Bro, I had to stay here over part of the summer when I was younger for the Navy Volleyball camp and boy, were those stairs a NIGHTMARE every night after working out the entire day every day.
awesome video! my husband and I started dating his junior year at the academy. I can't believe he had anytime for me!!
You look like your doing good! Keep these videos coming :D
Good job Justin! Keep update us
Really cool video, great work for your first vlog
Day in the Army basic training. Morning, drill screams, "Red Line!" Recruits(cadets) scramble outside their rooms into the hall to stand at attention, they present the drill with all their morning supplies, drills inspect each recruit for a clean shave etc. Navy cadets got it easy.
This is Academic year , Plebe summer is over!
That is the “boot camp” part from First week of July till classes start in September.
This is a 4 year college on top of the military training .
Watch a video in Plebe summer and compare that to Basic Training.
To go to the USNA is my dream, I have a long way to go physically and mentally but I am excited to work on myself throughout the next 4 years of high school. This video gave me insight on my dream and how to achieve it.
I’m about to start my freshman year of hs. Really gonna be pushing myself. I really want to go to the Naval Academy! I don’t play any sports and I’m not in band so I feel like that definitely won’t help! ☹️
@@teeganwebb1196 Same situation!
I got so confused when you were walking to the dining hall. I was like "why is this kid filming at the night when he is filming a day video." Then I realized that it was like 7:00 in the morning and still dark, lol.
Once you are in the fleet you get up even earlier. The enlisted starts work at 0600 sometimes so as an officer you have to get up even earlier.
Playing water polo for navy too! Class of 2024
See you there brother!
I just got an appointment to USNA class of 2026, and I can’t wait!! Thank you for sharing!!
Congratulations and see you soon!
I enjoyed this. Subbed. Keep it going 👍🏼
A few of my friends are there in their Plebe year right now, it seems like a lot of fun and hard work.
I always wanted to know what is like the life of a cadet in the USNA. I was a cadet in the Naval Military Academy from Venezuela. It is nothing like that. The video you guys look more like been in a civilian college so relaxing. It is like hell where I went. No cell phones unless you are in your senior year, you get counts to get ready for inspection etc..
@Rich 91 Yes It does Duh
you are in venezulean army now ?
Great Video! Keep up the good work.
Hi, thanks for sharing this video, about your daily life in Naval academy. This is very interesting and yeah amazing... All the best for you ☺️👍🏻💯🇺🇸
Thanks a lot for your support!
You're welcome. And I'm looking forward for your next video.... All the best for you 😉👍🏻
Hey, that was interesting! I was always curious about the academy (I had to decide between the USNA and UCLA - chose UCLA) You look like you're doing well - good luck to you and keep uploading videos.
why did you choose UCLA over USNA? Are you happy with the decision?
@@ethanweinrot8050 well, it was a situational choice. Let's just say that high school was very intense for me ( AP, student government, sports, youth rep in city government, etc. - blah blah, usual over achieving BS. ) Going to the academy would have pleased my Dad but choosing UCLA pleased me and I enjoyed it but it is a different challenge than the Academy, in some ways you grow up fast because it is only as structured as you make it - the academy has every day, month, and year structured and lockstep, you are told what to do. You can easily screw up at UCLA because you can have too much fun.
Thank you for shooting this video. Love it!
I was waiting to see the gym and here I saw it thanks a lot for your effort
My dad was Class of '53 & it was fun to imagine him going thru a day like you did (altho somehow they all did it w/o a computer back then). He was an NCAA All American Fencer for the Academy. Sadly, I hear it is just a club sport now which is sad considering it's a military academy and everyone has a sword. I grew up in Annapolis, but unfortunately USNA was never a possibility for me because it was before they admitted women.
Dad actually enlisted right out of high school (he never applied despite showing leadership & academic skills in high school & was an Eagle Scout) and was eventually sent to NAPS and got his appointment that way. He served on mine sweepers mostly out of Norfolk & Charleston. Dad was a good guy, I miss him.
That is so precious ma'am. Thank you so much for sharing
@@navalaviation TY, you must be a 2C now? Best wishes to you for your Navy career & thank you for your service to our country. I still live near Naptown, if this crazy pandemic is ever over, we will have to say hi. Robotics? When I was your age robots were only something on sci fi TV shows. GO NAVY!!!
My dream schools are the Academies and watching this makes me wanna go even more!
jguo117 Nice and be sure to keep in mind SMCs in case the academies don’t work out. USNA rejected me and now I go to Texas A&M with the corps of cadets and it’s a great experience
Wow we really all lived the same day to day. This is great.
Applying to the Academy for the second time this year hoping to get in for the class of ‘28. Love this video
How’d it go?
I noticed that high end Aruba access point on the ceiling, glad to know the Navy has good (and expensive) taste in wifi (I just hope they fine tune it with Voyance).
I go to Chapel Hill rn, but it's tempting to try and transfer to the academy because of how rewarding the experience seems.
This was really insightful! Thank You
Very, very different that it was many years ago for the class of '71! I wondered because I live in Colorado and go down to Air Force academy for the games with Navy and I was shocked to see Plebes from Navy attending the games.
This is completely awesome thanks for the post GO Navy however I grew up an Army brat lol outstanding what yall do
Thank you sir
Great content. Thank you, sir!
Love the video man keep it up
Great the Academy is doing these videos. Just wish you could have access to better cameras or equipment. Thank you all for your service. GO NAVY
I’m currently enlisted in the Navy and heading to bootcamp in July. Never had thought for going to the academy but it looks great !
Definitely recommend applying while you;re enlisted. We take a bunch of prior-enlisted guys all the time. Good luck in bootcamp
JC Hey man who knows what the future holds. Thank you and good luck at the academy. See you in the fleet.
That was an awesome video. Really nice. I enjoyed watching the video. What is the name of the song in your video where can I find it. Please let me know. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
Check out the descriptions section right below the video! I mentioned the songs and where I got them from
This looks so calm...
Today a high school student, tomorrow a Naval Academy student! Ayden Morgan, future Marine officer and Blue Angels pilot!
When I first watched this video, I didn’t know that I’d be in the same company, getting your signature!
Sick video my man! Currently a sophomore (9 weeks till summer!!!!!!) trying to work my ass off to get into USNA (or any other SA lmfao). top 12% in my class and doing sports, trying to do better in both
What you end up doing?
I was studing in Heroica Escuela Naval Militar from México, and the freshman's life is really different.
I am not even clos to the age of being able to go here. Yet I still really want to! Go Navy! Beat Army!
Thanks Justin, our son is in 12th company. We enjoyed this.
I'm in your son's company. Love Tom!
Great video. Thanks. Best of luck ! 🇺🇸
