No, But I know him from boat school ... Ghost

Ok ... CM, I went through and did the same thing you are thinking about. The process is exactly the same. Parts of your application can be reused (DODMERB and I forget what else). From ROTC you can apply for a nomination through your unit (SECNAV has something like 10 nominations/year to...

The HCS guys are should just move into the HC spaces. HC did not merge with anyone, just replaced aircraft. And with the execption of an east coast rag that transition is almost complete. HS and HSL will merge into HSM as the romeo comes online. I believe romeo will begin training in the...

One word.. weight. Block 1 bravos are allready on the heavy and they did not get rid of a whole lot of equipement on the romeos.

If you are going to Mayport it is HSL, not HS. The HS guys are over at NAS Jax.

SGT, You only made trough a little more than a year at USNA, and your opinions are slightly off. In my four years there no one said things at the academy were done in the same manner as the fleet. Often the opposite was pointed out. I had prior enlisted roommate who was kicked out because he...

Dude, at 16 you would be way younger than the rest of your classmates. Since you can only enlist once you are 17 (with parents permission) by law, I doubt there is a way around this requirement. If you want to go to the academy do a year of college first. Go live in the dorm and have fun, but...

Look people leave the academy for many different reasons. Granted quite a few quit during plebe summer, but that is expected. They academy accepts more candidates than it is legally allowed because it knows a certain percentage are likely to quit during plebe summer. However I would say that...

I don't understand why everybody is so negative about going to the academy and then med school. The fact is there are 12 med school slots in every class at USNA and not that many people apply for them. Going to med school from the academy has to be a goal from the start since you have to get...

Wrong ... I had 70+ quarter hours at one of the best engineering schools in the country before I went to the academy. There were poeple I knew who had even more hours than I did.

Well for one it's spelled gouge not gauge.

No ... NAPS is to prepare people academically. It is mostly used for prior enlisted and recuited athletes.

Viv, I feel the need to chime in here. I was in the exact same position that you are in. Similar grades, SAT etc. I went to GT for a year and then reapplied to USNA. You can apply for a nomination through ROTC that puts your application in a seperate pile. The best part of doing this is you...

If you goto to USNA, they will give you the PRK for free if you meet the requirements (stable vision, limited stigmatism ...). Plus of you get the surgery through the navy, the waiver process is pretty much automatic. ghost

I'll second that. I went to USNA and did not even think about USMMA. Since then I have run into several grads and all have enjoyed the experience. The best thing is even if you don't go active duty, all you owe is a few years in the reserves for a free education. The 3rd Mates liscense is...

It is not problem at all (at least for me). When I had my physical, the doctor noticed a curve in my spine from a chest xray to look for TB. It was previously undiagnosed and they sent over to ortho. The doctor there looked at the xray drew two lines, measured the angle, and said that it was...

Chris, You sound like you are very competitive for the Naval Academy, but there are a lot of different factors for admissions (including where you are from). If you get accepted, you will have the chance to validate courses when you show up for Plebe Summer. During the first few days you will...

Here are some numbers I was given. They are projections and are not written in stone. Navy FY02 FY03 Rotary 302 39% 302 39% Strike 242 32% 228 30% Multiengine...
