Class of 2018's Plebe Summer

[@mofo7689]

for those not knowing better, the constantly activity between meals is what actually produces the fitness improvements. My bodyweight drop was far more intense due to the unrelenting activity. It wasn't harder, only longer in duration. USMC Nov 23, 1983.

[@henrybowers4060]

Mr. Nate Fick was not only a Infantry Officer, He was a 1st Recon Marine Officer. He inspires me to become a Marine Officer in Infantry or if possible Recon maybe MARSOC

[@blairmooney499]

+Henry Bowers Me too

[@Gregory-the-small]

I want to be one of them so badly :D. they inspire me to work hard in school and eating right at home.

[@KindaRustySocks24]

what'd you end up doing

[@WowzaMemes]

yo bro what did you pick?

[@kuchnasty7112]

Gregory What ever happened with you?

[@JustinaJamess]

Did you do it?

[@samcaplan4646]

greg?

[@wolvenwood]

My dad came from absolutely nothing as a kid, but fought in WW2 and stayed in the Navy. He eventually became a mustang admiral. If you don't know what a mustang officer is, look it up. He's one who became an officer without going to the academy. My dad also was a Blue and Gold officer back in '60s and '70s, I remember young men coming to our home to meet my dad and be interviewed along with their families. They were always great young men with nice families. I remember him talking about plebe summer, he loved it so much. He was so proud of being a Blue & Gold officer for Naval Academy. Good luck to all of you applying to the Academy, it's quite an honor!

[@chronos401]

Um, a mustang is an officer who has prior enlisted service. Most officers do not receive their commissions by attending a service academy. Looks like there's only been 2 mustang admirals. Neither of them served in WW2. Nice try dopey liar.

[@mofo7689]

a MUSTANG OFFICER is prior enlisted before they got commissioned. Get your terms correct.

[@anthawade5164]

Awesome.....America's brightest and bravest. Go Navy.

[@emilywilburn4413]

I'd LOVE to be in either the Marine Corps or the Navy because I come from a huge family as my cousin went to West Point, my grandfather was in Vietnam, my great-grandfather was in WWII and my other grandfather was in the Army. I just don't know what to expect. Can someone explain what its like?

[@Lordofzeldafed]

god willing, I'll be there for plebe year 2018

[@jackbigham2817]

Lordofzeldafed did you get it

[@nettnett9934]

Can't wait to join....but scared cause I really won't see my family that much.

[@al11220]

Not gonna lie, I wanted to go to the Academy...Well, doing 5 in the enlisted was the best I could do. Infantry Rifleman USMC 2006-2011. Go get 'em class of 2022.

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

it's lots of discipline and control--be sure you want it--visit the place before you apply

[@AJ-fk9re]

I wanna go USNA!! I wanna be USMC command!!

[@jeffthelawnmower148]

I'm a junior at high school does anyone know when I should send out my nomination letters out?

[@blairmooney499]

+Joseph Ramirez I actually just talked to a USNA Blue and Gold Officer today about that.. He said to send it in after New Years I believe. Good luck!

[@mofo7689]

Recruiters have better information than the public ever will.

[@dominicalexander6254]

Hi. I really want to get in to the USNA I am 13 and I am so exited for when I am ready to apply! Does anyone who has gone to USNA or knows somebody who did have any advice?

[@eleanorsnyder1914]

I have been wanting to go to USNA since 6th grade and am planning to apply next year. I have a high GPA and am taking many AP classes. Does anyone know what else I should be doing to help me get in and will this be enough?

[@alangardner3812]

Hi Marie. I was appointed to 3 Service Academies, and will be attending Plebe Summer at USNA this year with the class of '24. Aside from academics, being a leader in whatever you do is what they want to see. Don't just join a club -- lead it from an elected position, and be ready to talk about what you did for the organization and why you mattered as a leader there. What did you impact? And how did it all impact you? Admission entails many, many, many interviews. Being able to convey your thoughts and true feelings in an interview is large. Be an outstanding/involved community member, and be able to speak on what you did and why. Athletic leadership, academic leadership, and club leadership together are commonly admitted profiles. There is no 1 perfect way to get in, many different characters with different strengths an backgrounds are admitted each year. Just do your best, and stay consistent! Also, being early in deadlines is huge. The second your app opens, finish it quickly without compromising content or the strength of your app. They will notice.

[@eleanorsnyder1914]

Thank you so much! That was very helpful. Good luck this year!

[@maenadwilder7829]

I have a two questions for anyone that has been through Plebe summer 1. Is it all physical and quality building or are there classes and courses you have to sign up for? 2. Did you ever get tired of being called a Plebe?

[@SaltiDawg2008]

I was never unhappy to be called a plebe. Not many people are good enough to earn that right...now I wanted to move on to greener grass as a Youngster.

[@blackitten2]

Very impressive! Good luck Midshipmen!

[@Nasty_J]

What's the purpose of making them wear those dress whites look alikes?

[@AshAirheart1995]

I'm enlisted and I want to go here badly

[@thevibez2137]

+Alexus Alexander If your not over the age limit,then you might be in luck. www.usna.edu

[@AshAirheart1995]

+Oumar Traore I'm probably over I'm 20 going on 21 in June and I've been studying for the SAT but it's changing in March and I'm not ready. Fail

[@thevibez2137]

Alexus Alexander Ok good,then you still got some time,also thank you for serving this country.What branch are you in?

[@AshAirheart1995]

+Oumar Traore Navy

[@thevibez2137]

Alexus Alexander Oh ok well that is so cool.But anyway don't give on on your dreams of becoming an officer bro.I support you 100%

[@pavelpunker1734]

Can you upload haircuts only?

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

looks like a mix of summer camp and college soccer practice. Mind you I was enlisted already.

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

AnEpilepticsVlog Yeah it looks like all that from a comfy distance but they dont only do the physical stuff but the mental stuff as well you know like school work at the college level

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

EmmanuelGoldstein74 I can imagine. I'm sure this is like every other video of how training works. They make it look easy.

[@Lead1121]

In doc is pretty crazy though. Shit ton of screaming haha

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

Lead1121 I can imagine. Much like P Days at Great Lakes probably.

[@SaltiDawg2008]

Former Enlisted here... your enlisted experience may help you for a week or so... and the maturity you've gained may help you to be a better Midshipman and later a better Officer. However there really is nothing similar about Plebe Summer and your Enlisted time, including Bootcamp which is a walk in the park.

[@omegasquadlder]

Is the USNA more lenient than USMA. Looking at the R-day videos they are more intimidating.

[@dktitanx2773]

Jordan he’s talking about the military academy aka West Point

[@SaltiDawg2008]

@@jordan6049 Moron!

[@mofo7689]

why would it matter. Both have a list of items to be taught. Both earn a college degree and commission at the end of the spoon fed journey.

[@Andromedon777]

Is that all they do for Plebe week? An hour and a half of P.T. every morning, then class? I believe the Air Force Academy may be similar. I am nervous, but I know it won't be that bad. In the end, the pain is completely worth it.

[@Andromedon777]

A-10 Thunderbolt II Okay,nevermind, I just saw the remainder of the video.

[@cedrickmoore5459]

Love to discharge my weapon towards the enemy.

[@isaiahbias5961]

That was definitely my EWO

[@AndresDX1]

this makes me want to watch captain america...

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

Dynasty A navy video makes you want to see a movie about an Army soldier. Interesting.

[@thevibez2137]

+EmmanuelGoldstein74 Captain America is not an Army soldier,but whatever

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

Oumar Traore So what is he? A sailor? Of course he's a soldier, he was recruited into the Army.

[@thevibez2137]

EmmanuelGoldstein74 He is not a soldier

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

+Oumar Traore yes he is. What are you reading?!! Explain

[@outtactic6884]

[@LongLiveTexas123]

What is this they should try going through real navy boot camp.

[@XanderStorm6788]

LongLiveTexas123 I'm sure its just as challenging.

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

LongLiveTexas123 Oh whatever with your real navy boot camp. Quit acting all tough. I bet you wouldnt last two weeks at the Academy.

[@turner8107]

Real Navy boot camp isn't 4 years long..

[@firefighterranger8312]

LongLiveTexas123 Well its a college

[@Nasty_J]

SideflashTM doesn't take 4 years to do an officers job either.
