This is funny. Now that I'm 54, I look back and wonder how an 18 year old kid can be so frightened by a 21 year old kid. Once you realize that it's just noise, the Academy is fairly easy to get through. You're paid a salary, so you don't have to work a part-time job. Your room and board are paid for, as well as three squares a day. Uniforms, dental, and health care are all free. Study hours are strictly enforced so you have a nice, quiet room to do your homework in. Your parents are thrilled because they don't have to send you money, and they don't have to worry about you because you have babysitters 24/7 for the first year, tapering off until you're a senior when you're allowed to drive your own car on and off campus on weekends. Come to think of it, my wife had a more difficult time getting through college than I did. She had to work nights as a waitress to earn the rent money for her un-air conditioned loft apartment (in Deland, FL) and to feed herself. I had no worries, practically. The most traumatic thing to happen to me in the four years I was there was getting a D on a thermodynamics exam (I was an A-B student).
@sean and @tripp. My son is there now and he said the video shows very little of just how hard the physical part is. My advice to both of you is the following. Make sure your resume has everything you did in HS, all the accomplishments, the community hours, the volunteer hours or part time job experience. Mostly the ones that show LEADERSHIP, I cannot stress that enough about leadership. Make sure you have at least two sports you were involved in and show that you were in a leadership position in one of those teams. Make sure your letters of recommendation show leadership examples. Get to know your B&G officer, he/she have a huge impact on the acceptance process. Take your SAT as many times as you can before you submit scores in application. An example of the questions they are going to ask at Congressional interview is: How will you lead someone that has already been in military that is older than you, being that you will be 22 yrs old when you graduate from USNA? You want to show them that you will learn from whomever you are chosen to lead. ROTC helps alot too. If you are in ROTC don't go to interviews with your uniform or shirt loaded with your medals or ribbons. Dress business casual. The people that will interview you will more than likely have your info, grades etc. you don't have to stand out. The only way to stand out is to show respect, shake the interviewers hands, all of them, show courtesy. Give a firm handshake. Show confidence by your tone of voice not with what you say. Confidence sometimes comes across as arrogance with the wrong words. Be your best self. Do not look down when you answer any questions, do not slouch, dress neatly. Shave face if you're a guy. no goat tees or mustaches. No jewelry or hats etc. Answer with a YES SIR or YES MAM. REmember they will see your confidence and leadership mostly in your tone of voice. Don't say anything that will make you sound prideful. The school is looking to make leaders out of kids that are first willing to be humble enough to follow. GOOD LUCK!!! GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!
Very well edited. I’ve been through the hell of hours upon hours of mental indoctrination inside the dorm hallways of Bancroft Hall. For those of you who think this video portrays real plebe life, you’re in for a surprise. Have fun 😜
You will get likely 30 days off during the summer. The rest of the time will be occupied by cruises on US Navy Ships and Submarines, trainginf with the amphibious forces, flight training, and some other things, *s/ Retired 24 Year US Navy Submariner - USNA Class of 1965*
Any one on here get whats called a civilian prep program? I did not get accepted but i was appointed to the civilian prep program and was wondering if anyone else knew more about this than me. I can't find anything on the internet.
The USNA Prep School is in Newport, RI. Candidates spend a year there doing a program similar to the Academy but their main focus is to get you ready for the academic rigors of the school. At the end of the year all records of students at the Prep School are submitted to the Naval Academy Admissions Board for review at which time they determine which students will be in the entering class based on the academic record at Prep as well as the recommendation of its Director.

What did they have in their back pack in the beginning
You have to get a letter of recommendation from a congressman to get in right
It doesn't have to be a congressman in can also be a Senator or the vice president of some others
If you are a plebe at the naval academy what do you do during summers? Is it time off or do you stay? I’m confused
You will get likely 30 days off during the summer. The rest of the time will be occupied by cruises on US Navy Ships and Submarines, trainginf with the amphibious forces, flight training, and some other things,
*s/ Retired 24 Year US Navy Submariner - USNA Class of 1965*
So is plebe Summer like Boot Camp but less strict?
How many miles do you have to do each day while being a plebe???
I had that same question! Tell me if you have figured it out.
Any one on here get whats called a civilian prep program? I did not get accepted but i was appointed to the civilian prep program and was wondering if anyone else knew more about this than me. I can't find anything on the internet.
cameron2k16 I know for the AFA they have a prep school if i were you I'd look into it there and it'll probably be a similar experience
