[@christianhobgood3848]

Honestly this video, was made for me, because I want to major in aerospace engineering, and graduate as a marine pilot

[@jennifertodd4132]

I am happy that I found this today. I have sent it to my son as we are getting things ready to apply in 2 years.

[@thomasnicholas9314]

Thank you for the great insights and advice. It helped my son better organize and properly engage with his B&G officer. -candidate for the class of '27.

[@striperman1957]

Father of a prospective candidate....this is an excellent guide to a critical skill set...I am certain this will be valuable to my son and many others....sincere thanks

[@13938151210251212]

My father went to Culver Military Academy and had to have his State senator write a letter of recommendation and had to have an interview for the Class of 42. They went straight to WW2 He was Intercollegiate Saber Champion

[@cpine9062]

Excellent advice, thank you so much!

[@haszahngrimes7792]

I’ve found this video very useful since I have an interview coming up for a nomination to the Military Academy. I have a Letter of Assurance but I’m still focused on doing extremely well in my interview. Go Army! Beat Navy!

[@StephenPhillipseodauthor]

Has'Zahn...Good luck on the interview process. Beat Army!

[@konner2348]

Great video! Do you happen to have pointers or much in regards to fleet returnee applicants? Do you think grades made in college would outweight prior highschool grades and with a level of college completes, would NAPS be considered?

[@Whit11]

What tremendous advice. Thanks to you both!

[@StephenPhillipseodauthor]

Sandra, you are welcome...good luck through the whole process.

What are some things I can do as a sophomore in high school to benefit my application when I eventually apply to the service academies?

[@emilyrobinson8883]

Ethan Wolfe as a senior now lol, I can definitely say take rigorous classes, but don’t overburden yourself to where it will lower your GPA, take the A in an honors rather than a C in AP, I also suggest joining clubs like NHS, Key club, student government, etc. involve yourself in local communities, volunteer for different nonprofits, and lastly I suggest being involved in an extracurricular and sport. As an example i am the lead trumpet of my schools band and I also am on the varsity diving team

[@evanhochwald43]

Hey would you happen to know my dad Scott Hochwald? I think he graduated in maybe 94

[@kimgreen6920]

If a candidate is in the Sea Cadets should they wear their uniform to the interview or just their own suit?

[@antoniokontos8345]

Excellent video. Thank you sir!

[@corinentang7573]

When you are on scholarship how long can it last

[@ourhome8038]

I'm in sixth grade, what can I do to get in USNA before I am in high school?

[@ptflats]

Our Home study hard build your endurance, become a good runner, work on your strength ie push-ups, and chin-ups. Stay active, look into volunteering and stay out of trouble. Good luck

[@randy_kang]

If you are trying to get into the academy as a student athelte, do you still go through the same process as someone who isn't? i.e getting congressional nomination

[@nateradcliffe1124]

Great video! I am a sophomore in high school and I am very exited to apply to the Naval Academy. I am in an extremely competitive district, in the suburbs of DC. Can I request a nomination from the Vice President? And if so, how does that process work? Thanks!

[@StephenPhillipseodauthor]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video. There are requirements to apply for a vice presidential nomination. Check the application website for the details. If memory serves, one has to be the child of a serving or retired military member.

[@ypaulbrown]

Well Done!!!
