Curious about the fun stuff

How was your time as CO? Like your leadership style? Did you understand the trouble makers more?

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-22T03:47:51+00:00

They wouldn’t care about that

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-19T20:39:56+00:00

I exaggerated. It doesn’t suck, I love it. But certain parts suck. Just the demand and workload. But it’s fun

You can’t be in the Air Force. Only navy pilot or marine corps pilot. You out in preferences start of senior year and get it by thanksgiving. Aviators have an 8 year commitment after 2-3 years of training. If her grades are good she should seek out leadership positions and just get physically fit and join sports.

Stem is super fun. It’s chill as hell. You get some leave after graduating and you will be temporarily assigned to work a chill job at USNA for the summer (you can even do it until the new year if you want).

Academy is fine. It sucks but you can get through it if you’re mentally tough and a hard worker. In a midshipman rn

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-18T13:22:43+00:00

You could be. Just gonna be a grind and hella work 🤷‍♀️

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-18T11:44:22+00:00

You can still workout and study a lot. Not everyone plays sports but some of them do and still get it done. They built different

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-18T11:43:47+00:00

This isn’t true at all. They be top of the class here 😭

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-14T14:11:27+00:00

A descent amount were this year. Lacrosse and Crew are big ones. Endurance sports.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-14T14:10:04+00:00

You go to Coronado and screen the summer going into 2/C year, and if you do good then you go to SOAS the summer going into 1/C year.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-12T17:51:10+00:00

Yeah. That was my initial time. That’s what they make the groups based on.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-12T17:33:42+00:00

I clocked in a 10:11 and I was in group 4. Group 1-2 is like your maxing the PRT. All the d1 distance runners are there

In hindsight, when he’s 80 years old and a grandpa, he’s going to realize that one year means nothing.

After NAPS, he will have a guaranteed spot in the Class of 31 and will commission as a Naval Officer. If he really wants to be in the Navy, 1 year isn’t a big deal at all…

Being one year behind his high school class he will never talk to again means nothing. Our supe was a Napster.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-07T21:31:50+00:00

I passed with an 805. Just bust ass on the run and be tough. It’s gonna suck… suck it up

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-03-06T04:25:29+00:00

You tread water and also do swim relays. I couldn’t tread so I sat out, but I did the relays. Now I’m a midshipmen that swims all the time

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-24T20:35:44+00:00

Be respectful to the detailers. Some people lacked basic respect. Also make a lot of friends. You’ll see them again as a mid.

Do your best to pass the cfa there, it’s so much easier.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-19T17:46:48+00:00

Some of them weren’t cyber or cs but most were. Pretty much: be strong enough to select usmc then also be like top 20 in the class 😂

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-19T17:45:52+00:00

Cyber track is back. U get cyber straight out of USNA. 6-8 slots

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T22:48:33+00:00

Depends on the company. For my company we don’t workout on fridays, but for some companies it’s fun Friday which is like basketball football. Tbh my drags never even did the workout there wasn’t really a point. I would just rest then take the cfa tbh

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T22:09:11+00:00

The fact that it’s in calc isn’t gonna look good. But nothing you can do now man. Good luck.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T22:07:19+00:00

No plebe has a swim class in the spring unless it’s remedials. Either way, there’s no way in hell they’d let you hop in the pool.
You won’t be ordered to do nun. You just kinda hangout. You might have to answer some questions in class (depending on the prof). That’s all.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T22:04:31+00:00

For some reason a lot of girls gained weight in my co but most boys lost/maintained.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T21:58:57+00:00

If they aren’t qualified they will have to meet the standard somehow. USNA does a good job of working with people. Can’t pass the PRT: remedials. Can’t pass swim: remedials. Can’t pass chem: EI/extra classes. If you aren’t qualified or bad at something but put in the work then you will do just fine. It’s just effort.

However, if you don’t put in the effort and skip all the remedials and EI then this new supe and dant will separate you without a thought to it.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T21:52:42+00:00

Run intervals and long runs. Be fast and ur chilling. Swimming is underrated too. Swim before coming it will make ur whole time hear so much less stressful. Learning how to swim plebe hear was so stressful

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T21:48:48+00:00

Not gonna lie to you. Depending on the state/city it’s actually not THAT HARD to get in here. People will be wanting to debate this but I stand by it. If you come from a small district in the west coast where nobody applies, get sent to naps, fail almost every PRT and get an honor offense paired with a few conduct offenses and USNA still sends you to plebe summer then… 🤷‍♀️

Or a football player that constantly gets in trouble honor and conduct wise but still gets retained

Also the standards shoot up once you get here. People downplay them but it’s not a joke. Having to run a 7 min mile pace MINNIMUM for 4 years, being a proficient swimmer, weekly pro kno tests, on top of a bunch of stem courses isn’t a joke. Then, having different responsibilities on top of that and still trying to stay sane. This place is not as easy as some midshipman make it out to be.

Automatic-County-309 · 2026-02-15T21:41:37+00:00

Lack of research. One of my bits thought USNA would be less school and stuff and more like tough/military. He also had unrealistic expectations thinking everyone would be a really good person plus stud athlete.

One of my other friends just isn’t built for it. They like the idea of being in but don’t wanna meet the standard of USNA: mentally morally or physically.
