The ,·oung men and women who come to this magnificent mstitution are the 

best and brightest that this nation has lo offer. We take great pride Ill our 

program to prepare them to be comm1ss1oned officers m the L,.5. '\iavy and 

Manne Corps II is our singularity of purpose that sets us apart irom other 

colleges and universities. We concentrate our considerable resources in 

developing our midshipmen morally, mentally and phvs1callv They receive the 

finest possible education to prepare them to sen·e their country 

Al the Un1ted States '-aval Academy, vou become part of a e,tremelv proud 

tradition of e,cellence that has e,isted for five generations. V\'e pro\'lde the 

finest educational facilities, the most up-to-date and modern labs and 

equipment, outst,rndmg recreational programs and athletic focilil,es that are 

unmatched anvwhere. This is fundamental to our commitment to excellence. 

The superb qualifications and dedication of our facultv ,111d st,,ff are further 

e\'1dence ol that commitment You will be challenged, yet have the opportu111ty 

to per/om, to ,·our full potential. 

This nation entrusts to us ,ts one and greatest national treasure, the best of its 

vouth .literallv, the luture. I am proud to report that the lJ111ted States :\a,·al 

Academy is equal to the challenge." 

The '\,a,·al Academy also is the final rcstmg place of Revolutionary War 

na, al hero John Paul Jones whose words, "I have not yet begun to fight," 

have msp1red generations of US. naval officers. His crypt is located 

beneath the academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the l\avy. A 

'\,ational l listonc Site, the Na\'al Academy hosts about one million tourists 

every year from all over the United States and the world. They come to enjoy 

the natural beauty ot the Yard, to recall some of this country's naval history, 

ilnd to thrill at the traditions carried on in midshipmen parades and 

military formations. 

Touri~ls and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies 

right outside the gates of the academy. With its colonial charm and busy 

waterfront, Marvland s state capital pro\'ides a pleasant, diverse settmg for 

one of America's premier colleges, the Urnted States \Java! Academy. 

History 

The academv started as the 1\a\'al School in 1845, founded bv Secretary of 

the :--.Javv George Bancroft on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis. Since 

then, the development of the '-aval Academy has renected the history of 

5 
the Un1tl•d States. As our country has changed culturally ,rnd 

tl'(hnolog1cally, so has thl' '\a\'al Academy In iust a few decades, the '\an· 

h,1s mo\'cd from a fleet of sail and stcam-pu\,ered ships to a high-tech fleet 

with nuclc.1r-powcred submarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. 

The ac,1dem) has changed, too, gi\•111g midshipmen the up-to-date academic 

,rnd professional tra111ing they need to be effecti\'e naval officers in their 

,issignmenh after gr,1duat1on. 

In 18::;o, the '\a\'al School bernme the Umted States :'\aval Academy. A new 

curriculum went 111to effect requiring midshipmen to stud,· at the academy for 

four years and to trnin aboard ship each summer That format 1s the basis of 

a for morl' advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the '\a\'al Academy 

today. As the LS '\a\·v grew over the years, the academv expanded The 

c,1mpth or IO acres increased to 138. The original student bod\ of 60 

midshipmen grl'\\' to a brigade si/e of 4,500 midshipmen. \,todern gramte 

buildings replan•d the old wooden structures of Fort Se\·ern and the '\a\'al 

Scho11l. 

Congress authori.lcd the '\a\·al Academv to begin awarding bachelor of 

scie1Kl' degrees 111 1933. The ,1eademy later replaced a fixed curriculum taken 

b) all michhipmen \,•ith the present core curriculum plus 18 major fields of 

studv; a w1dl' ,·ariety of electl\e courses; and advanced studv and research 

opportu 111 tics. 

Tl1l' '\,1\·al ,\cademy first accepted wonwn as midshipmen in 1976 after 

Congress authnri,.ed the admission of women to all of the sen·ice academics. 

Appro-..imately 12::; \\'Omen now enter with each plebe -- or freshman - class, 

and thl'\' pursue the same academic and professional training as do their 

male• d,1Ssmates. 

Mission 

Thl• '\,wal ,\catkmv has a t1111qul' clarity of purpose, e-..presscd 111 our 

11ffic1,1I mi""11m: "To dc\·L'lop m1dsh1pmen morally, mental!\ and phvsJCalh· 

and to imbue them with the highest ide,1ls of dut~·, honor and kwall\ 111 

order to provide gradti.1tes who are dedicated to a career of na\'al ser\'lce 

,rnd h,1,·c plitential for future de,·elopment m m111d and character to assume 

the highest rL'sponsibilit1es of command, cit1 ensh1p and go,·ernment." This 

puts C\'ernme -- facult\, ,tatf ,ind m1dsh1pmen -- on the same wa,·elength. It 

,1bo encourages a sense of sp1nt and pnde found at tch· other schools.

"I got tn\'Ol\'ed 111 the Honor Committee during m~ plebe vear, first a, the 

representati\'e of my squad, and then as the represent<ltiH' of my class. \\'hen I 

was a lot younger, I got into a fair amount of trouble, and it affected me in a big 

way It was at that point, I thinl-., that I first realized how important honor 1s . 

. \1idshipmen come from so many different backgrounds, and ha"e so manv 

different values, and we don t th111l-. e\'eryone 1s made suddenh honorable just b, 

comtng lo the academy When I ask a group of m1dsh1pmen 1f anv of them 

cheated in high school or hed to their parents, most say yes But at the academ\, 

they 1ust don't cheat. We sit next to each other during exams, and the professors 

leave the room because they trust us, too. 

· Educatmg m1dsh1pmen about the Honor Concept is the most important part 01 

our job because ignorance 1s no defense of an honor v1ola1ton. After plebes attend 

a series of ten lectures and mo"ies, they beg111 to get the idea of ho\\' important 

honor and mtegnty are. 

·we concentrate on honor in the m1htary, but we want to g1"e people a \\'a) to deal 

with the whole world, not 1ust the i\.a\'al Academy \Ve want m1dsh1pmen to 11\'e 

honor 

For especially capable and highly motivated students, we offer challenging 

honors programs and opportunities to start work on postgraduate degrees 

while still at the academy. 

Professional and leadership training 

We don't just tell you about life in the Navy and Marine Corps. Over four 

years at the ;\'aval Academy, the life and customs of the naval service 

become second nature. First, you learn to take orders from practically 

everyone. But, before long, you acquire the responsibility for makrng 

dec1s1ons that can affect hundreds of other midshipmen. Your professional 

classroom studies are backed by many hours of practical experience in 

leadership and naval operations, including assignments with avy ,rnd 

Marine Corps units during summer months. 

Moral education 

l lonor and integrity have a long tradition in the Navy. When expensive 

equipment and priceless human lives are at stake, there is no room for 

mistrust among officers. I lonor is not something you only read about at the 

academy Our I lonor Concept clearly states that "A midshipman will not 

lie, cheat or steal." Midshipmen arc bound to live by that concept. In the 

cla~sroom, on the athletic field and in professional training, you are 

expected to consider the consequences of your actions and to be accountable for 

vour decision;. 

Physica l training 

We teach the importance of being physically fit and prepared for stress 

because the duties of Navy and Marine Corps officers often require long, 

strenuous hours 111 difficult s1tuat1ons. The physical requirements of Plebe 

Summer trnining, four years of physical education and year-round athletics 

also den•lop pride, teamwork and leadership.

"For me, the biggest shock of Plebe Summer was ha\'1ng to sa\' 'no excu,c, sir,' 

e,·en 11 I had the best excuse 111 the world. For instance, 111 the morni ng after the 

ph\"Skal education program (PEP), !here were just five minutes for three of us lo 

use one shower, dress, shine and straighten our name lags and edge-dress our 

shnes, So sometimes our shoes ,,·eren't (inished or our nrtme tag~ were crooked, 

and we JUSI had to sa\', no excuse, sir.' 

'You ne\'er had a chance to relax during Plebe Summer•· ever You had to rush 

from one e\'ent lo another, from sw1mm111g to sa1ling, to a lecture, to lunch. You 

d1dn·t have an1 personal time until iusl before bed, and then for onlv about Len 

minute~. 

The best thing about lhe summer, though, was how we all pulled together The 

upperclassmen really stressed helpmg out our classmates, and I th111k that 1s wll\ 

we learned so much. PEP, especially, was difficult, and the women were expected 

to du 1ust what the men did It "'as hard, but e\'eryone cheered me on if I fell

"Lnst SAT winch mny be tnke11 for the Nnvnl Academy Clnss of 1994 

lote: The College Code Number to be used to forward your SAT test scores to 

the Naval Academy is 5809. 

Physical Aptitude Examination 

All candidates must pass a standard Physical Aptitude Examination (PAE) 

to quahf, for admission to the academy. The PAE tests your coordination, 

strength, speed and agility, pull-ups (men), flexed arm hang (women), 

standing long jump, kneeling basketball throw and 300-yard shuttle run. If 

you are physically fit, the PAE should present no problem. Since competition 

for admission to the academy is stiff, and since we use PAE scores to evaluate 

all candidates, you will want to do your best rather than just the minimum. 

The candidate admissions packet gives you details of the PAE, which can be 

supen ised by a teacher or school official with a degree in physical 

education or by a commissioned military officer on active duty. 

Med ical Exam and Physical Considerations 

Because the Naval Academy's program is physically demanding and naval 

officers must meet certain medical standards, we require all candidates for 

admission to pass a thorough medical ei-am. These exams are scheduled for 

candidates through the Department of Defense Medical Exammation 

Review Board. 

Generally speaking, healthy candidates with normal v1swn have little 

difficulty passing the exam Howe,·er, the exam sometimes identifies 

characteristics or problems that could be aggravated bv the academy·s 

rigorous routine or that would prevent military service after graduation. 

Some specific medical considerations are discussed in Appendix A. 

Obtaining a Nomination 

All applicants must have a nomination from an official source in order to be 

considered for appointment to the Naval Academy There are many sources 

ol nomination. Applicants should apply to all sources for \\hich thev are 

eligible after April of their junior year in high school. This normally 

includes a U.S. representilti,·e, two U.S. senators, and the vice president of 

the Umted States. See the sample letters on pages 20 and 21. 

You should apply for a congressional nomination during the sprmg of your 

junior year in high school, or as soon thereafter as possible. This is because 

many members of Congress evaluate Cilndidates during the summer months 

and mal..e their decisions in early fall, though th<'.' academy accepts 

nominations until January 31. Applicants for militnry service-connected 
nomination-, (a-, described 111 following pMagraphs} should applv directly to 

the \.a\·al Academy for a nomination after Juh I of the year prior to 

admission \,lost candidates \\"ill be notified of their nomination ~talus bv 

the end of Februarv of their scrnor \"Car (or the year oi admission}. 

Nomination sources include: 

U.S. senators, representatives, the delegate to Congress from the Distri ct of 

Columbia, the resident commissioner of Puerto Rico. 

Each member of Congress can have fi\·e constituents attending the Naval 

Academv at am one time. When a constituent leaves the academv, a 

vacancy ·1s creat~d. Congressmen may use ilnv one of these method; for 

nominating candidates: 

• nominate 10 candidates for each vacancy, permitting the l\.aval Academy 

to e,·aluate and rilnk them for admission. 

• designate one princip,il nominee and nine other applicants as alternates, 

rnnl-.ed in order of preference. 

• nominate one principal nominee and nine other applicants as competitors, 

permitting the .\Java! Academy to rank the competitors for admission. 

In each of these methods, the most iullv qualified candidate on each list is 

offered an appointment to the 0.aval Academy. The other nom111ees also are 

considered carefully and many are selected by the Naval Academy for 

admission as qualified alternates. 

Application dates: spring of your Junior year (or spring of the year prior to 

desired admission}, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Apply to: both of your U.S. senators and to the representative from your 

home congressional district. lt"s not necessary to know the official 

personally See page 20 for sample letter.

Selection for Appointment 

If the academy's admissions board considers you qualified scholastically, 

physically and medically and you've obtained a nomination, you enter the 

final stage of our admissions process. About 2,400 of each year's more than 

15,000 applicants reach this stage. Of that number, around 1,600 of the best 

qualified are offered appointments. About 1,325 accept and enter to become 

midshipmen with each class. 

Offers of appointment are made beginning in October and continue through 

the following spring. Nearly all appointments are offered by May 1. 

Cirndidates not offered an appointment by then probably will not be selected 

for the class to enter in early July. 

All candidates offered an appointment to the Naval Academy are 

encouraged to visit the academy in mid-May for a full day of orientation 

briefings and tours. This visit is not mandatory and will not affect your 

appointment status. 

Naval Service Obligation 

When you are offered an appoinhnent, we send you several important 

documents and forms to consider and complete. One of the most important for 

United States citizens is the Agreement to Serve. This agreement, required 

by U.S. law (Title 10, U.S. Code, Sections 6959 and 2005) and other 

directives, outlines your service obligation and is signed on Induction Day in 

July at the Naval Academy. It requires the consent of parents or guardian if 

you are a minor. In signmg the Agreement to Serve, you state that you will: 

• complete the four-year course of instruction at the Naval Academy. 

• accept an appointment and serve on active duty as a commissioned officer 

of the Regular Navy or Marine Corps for at least five years immediately 

after graduation. 

• accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in the reserve component 

of the Navy or Marine Corps and remain therein until the eighth 

anniversary of graduation from the Naval Academy if an appointment as a 

commissioned officer in the regular component is not tendered at graduation 

or if you resign as a commissioned officer of the regular component before the 

eighth anniversary. 

•serve in an appropriate enlisted grade on active duty for not more than 

four years if you do not fulfill the paragraphs agreed to above. 

• reimburse the United States for the cost of education received at the 

Naval Academy if you voluntarily, or through misconduct, fail to complete a 

period of active duty specified above. 

Oath of Office 

The appointment information also includes a copy of the Oath of Office 

which must be signed and agreed to orally by U.S. midshipmen on Induction 

Day: 
"I,_ _ __ , ha\'ing been appointed a midshipman in the U111ted 

States l\.avy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend 

the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and 

domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take 

this obligation freely, without any mental resen·ation or purpose of evasion; 

and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on 

which I am about to enter, so help me God." 

Resignations and Separations 

If you enter the i a\'al Academy directly from civilian life, you assume a 

five-vear military obligation according to the Agreement to Serve. 

Midshipmen who don't fulfill this agreement could be transferred to the 

\Ja\'al or Marine Corps Reserve in an enlisted status and ordered by the 

secretary of the Na\'y to serve on active duty for a period not to exceed four 

years, as provided by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 6959. However, in practice, 

the following policies currently apply to midshipmen who enter the 

academy from a civilian status: 

• 1f you are discharged, or your resignation is accepted before the first day 

of classes of your second-class (junior) year, you are discharged from the 

naval sernce 

• if you leave the academy after beginning the academic year as a secondclass midshipman (Junior) but before the start of first-class year, you are 

obligated to serve for two years 111 an enlisted status unless you are considered 

plws1cally disqualified, unfit or unsuited for military service. 

• 1f \'OU leave the academy after the start of first-class (senior) academic 

year, you have a three-year ~bligation to serve in an enlisted status. 

•if vou refuse a commission upon graduation, your enlisted service 

obligation 1s four years. 

If vou enter the '\a val Academy from the regular or reserve component of the 

1'.a\'V or :vlarine Corps, including the "Java! Academy Preparatory School, 

the remaming period of your enlistment or obligated service 1s not 

23 
24 

terminated when you accept an appointment to the academy. Therefore, if 

you do not fulfill the Agreement to Serve, you will return to enlisted status to 

complete the period of service for which enlisted or obligated, as provided 

by Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 516. In calculating the unexpired part of an 

enlistment or period of obligated service, time as a midshipman is counted as 

sen·1ce under that enlistment or service obligation. However, if you are 

discharged or your resignation is accepted after beginning your second-class 

academic year at the t\/aval Academy, you incur the same obligations 

described above for those who enter the academy from civilian life. 

In either case, 1f you leave the 'Java! Academy after the start of your 

second-class year or refuse a commission upon graduation and do not complete 

the appropnate active-duty service obligation, whether voluntarily or 

through misconduct, you can be required to reimburse the United States for 

the cost of education received at the Naval Academy. This cost is computed 

by the Naval Academy and includes the costs of professors' salaries, 

supplies and other el\penses. It is comparable to the tuition at a first-rate 

private university. The amount to be reimbursed in a particular case varies 

proportionally with the penod of unserved obligation, ranging up to the 

entire cost of education. 

Costs and Financial Obligations 

Before entering the Na\·al Academy, you must deposit $1,500 to be used as 

partial payment for your uniforms and supplies, including a personal 

computer. In cases of extreme hardship, the deposit may be reduced or 

waived by the academy, and then made up through deductions from pay over 

four years as a midshipman. 

A $1,500 interest-free loan from the federal government is ad\·anced to 

entering midshipmen to help defray first-year costs not covered by the 

deposit. This loan is repaid through monthly deductions from midshipmen 

pay during the four years at the academy. 

If you voluntarily leave the \Java( Academy before repaying these and any 

other obligations, you must pay the debts in full before separation. If you are 

separated in\'Oluntarily, \'OU must tum m enough umforms and equipment 

suitable for reissue to pay vour debts. If these reclaimed items don't cover 

vour indebtedness, vou must pay the difference. 

Documentation 

To be admitted to the \/a\'al Academv, on Induction Dav in Julv vou must 

submit documentarv evidence of b,irth to '\Java! Ac;demv cir°ficials. A 

certified copy of you'r birth certificate is the best evidence. If )'OU are a U.S. 

citizen born outside of the United States, you must show proof of your 

citizenship in the form of a Department of State, consular or other 

go\·ernment birth report. In any case, if the name on your e\'idence of birth is 

not identical to your current name, a court order authorizing a name change 1s 

required. You also must have a Social Security number when you apply to the 

Naval Academy

",APS definitely gan:• me a good preparation for the academy. At \JAPS you 

studv math, physics, chem,strv, computers and Engltsh in [l\'e or six classes a day. 

Each class in itself is not difficult, but the combined load of all those classes can 

be tough. That's the thmg about \J APS that prepares you best for the Naval 

Academ)' - you learn time management and setting priorities. That's probably 

the hardest thmg about the academy for some people. 

"If you graduate from , APS, you have the skills necessary to take you through 

plebe vear at least. If vou are coming out of the fleet, ,t gives you the time to brush 

up on vour skills m mathematics and science 

I thmk tt vou come to the ,a val Academy trom NAPS, you've pro,·en vou really 

want to be here. Some people who come straight in might not have to put forth a 

lot of effort to get in here, or this may have been one of many choices But, tf 

you·ve gone through ,APS, vou know this is what 1·ou really want to do - to be a 

;\.'avv or \llarine Corps officer It makes vou very career oriented, and this makes 

,·ou successfu I 

'I had completed two years of college at West V1rgm1a Univers,ty and, when I 

made my decision to come here, I had already been accepted as a junior at 

Florida Atlantic University I could have finished my schooling in just two years. 

'sow, here it is six years later and I'm onlv a junior But I never regretted mv 

decision to come here. I want to be a good Marine Corps or Na,·y officer, and this 

1s the best way to learn how" 

vour new classmates from around the nation. It will be one of the biggest days 

in vour life. We will tell you what you need to bring and how to ma ke travel 

arrangements to Annapolis.

from traditional college terms. We designate our class ranks this way: 

Freshman= Fourth class or plebe 

Sophomore= Tlmd class or youngster 

Junior= Second class or segundo 

Senior= First class or firslle 

All '\a\al Academy students, men and women, arc called midshipmen, 

which is a rank between chief warrant officer and ensign in the a,·y. A 

m1dsh1pman first-class is a semor. The student body is the Brigade of 

Midshipmen, or simply the brigade, and the naval service often is called 

the neet. The brigade is divided into six battalions. Six companies make 

up each battalion, making a total of 36 companies. The midshipmen 

command structure, headed by a first class midshipman chosen for 

outstanding leadership performance to be brigade commander, is 

responsible for much of the brigade's day-to-day activities as well as the 

professional training of midshipmen. O,·erseeing all brigade activities is 

the commandant of midshipmen, an acti\'e-duty Na,·y officer of captain';, 

rank or abo,·e. Workmg for the commandant, experienced avy and 

Marine Corps officers are assigned as company and battalion officers. 

Four-Year Summary 

The pull-out chart on this page is a diagram showing the highlights of 

the '\aval Academy's four-year program. Each year at the academy 

builds on the learning and experience of the previous year. As you 

complete basic courses and begin advanced studies, you also take on more 

responsibility in leading underclassmen at Annapolis and acting as a junior 

officer during summer professional trairnng with the neet. 

Life in the Brigade 

'\o matter \\'hat your background, chances are the living arrangements at 

the academy are different from anything you've experienced. The day

Life at the 

Naval Acaden1y 

We can't tell you e,actly what iour years at the '\/aval Academy would be 

like for you personally, but we can describe our philosophv, our curriculum 

and the daily life you can expect. Only when you experience the exhausting 

rigors of Plebe Summer, only when you face the responsibility of commanding 

other midshipmen, and only when you throw your hat mto the air at 

graduation will you really know what the l\.aval Academy e,perience is all 

about. We can explain that the four years at Annapolis are tightly 

structured. While there are manv ways you can pursue your individual areas 

of interest, a fou r-yea r program is required of all midshipmen. In this 

section, we'll give you a general description of life at Annapolis. Later 

chapters gin1 you the details of the academic, athletic and professional 

tra111ing programs. 

Definitions 

Let's start with a ie"' basics. On your first day at the academv. you begin 

learning a whole new vocabulary of nautical and Naval Academ) terms.

Academv are those you share with members of vour company. You eat, sleep, 

studv, drill, play and compete as teams with your company mates. You learn 

lo lru~t and rely on each other. And, you pull together to get through rough 

times The companv experience also gives you an idea of how things work 111 

the '\a,·,· and \llar111e Corps, where small-unit cohesion, teamwork and 

morale are as important 111 peacetime operations as in combat. The year-long 

color competition among the 36 companies is one \\'ay company spirit is built. 

Companies accumulate points for academic, professional and intramural 

excellence. The company with the most points is recognized at the Color 

Parade during Commissioning Week and then enjoys special privileges for 

the next year, 111clud1ng the honor of representing the '\lava! Academy al

academy because it's not so high that you are out of touch with the people m the 

company You arc st,11 accountable for e\'ervonc's actions - a prctt~ heavy burden

representing various faiths. They are available to counsel midshipmen in 

matters relating to faith or life in general. The chaplains also sponsor Bible 

studies, prayer groups and instn1ction classes. 

Recreation 

All midshipmen are encouraged to take part in one or more of the academy·s 

many clubs and e-.:tracurricular acti\'ities. For plebes especially, these 

activities help to relieve the stress of academics and the tough military 

routine. After plebe vear, your free time increases to rela,, pursue personal 

111terests, date and explore the local area. There's much to see and do in 

Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, DC. There also are many culturnl, 

social and sports activities sponsored by the academy. 

Spectator sports 

On autumn weekends, the excitement and color of Nav) football sweeps the 

brigade All midshipmen attend home games in ,a,·y-y[anne Corps 

Memorial Stadium. Groups of midshipmen also attend most away games. 

The football season ends with the whole brigade cheering on the team in the 

trnditional Army-Navy game There are 32 other ,·arsity , a\'\ teams to 

cheer on, as well. Outstanding spectator facilities bring out enthusiastic 

Navy supporters for almost every ri\'alry from wrestli11g and swimming to 

lacrosse, basketball, soccer and baseball.

"f meet a lot of midshipmen s parents who come to Annapolis from c1t1cs and 

towns across the country U,uallv they arc very concerned because thev arc so far 

,1way and, in many ca5es, the, re being separated from their sons and daughters 

for the first time. \Vhen I tell them about the sponsor program, they are so 

relieved to learn that we are pro\'idmg this kind of support. 

"The important thing ,s that, when a midshipman comes here from the \,\est 

Coast, or Siou, Falls, or wherever, theres someone nght m Annapolis waitmg wtth 

a welcome. There·s a local number to call ti the midshipman needs anythmg or 

1ust wants someone to talk to. \.Iv mith know I'm univ a phone call awa\'. The, 

can come o,·er for a change uf scener) or 1ust to get mto a s,,·eatshirt and w,1lch 

T\' It's a nice ch,rnge for them, a nice home awav frnm home, e,·en 11 it's Just for a 

tew hours. But, when ,·ou arc a sponsor ifs not 1ust vou doing things for them. , ou 

learn and grow \'\'Ith them. Its a two-way street 

·Asa sponsor, vott'll ne,·er know how much rou help or the difference vou make 111 

a midsh1pman·s life. But I can remember when I was in college ,rnd some,,ne 

helped me -- even it tt "as 1ust a smtle, a wtird of encouragement or some other 

kind oi outreach -- and l kno"· you don t forget that Ill life. 

"I wanted to do something to support the mission of the \Javal Academy, and 

that's wlw l became a sponsor I wanted to support the m1dsh1pmen -- not l() 

coddle them -- 1ust to lo\'e them.' 

During Plebe Summer, e,·cr} midshipman is introduced to an Annapolis-area 

fam11\ which has volunteered to host midshipmen for dinners, local 

~,ghbceing, recreation and simple relaxation away from the demands of the 

Yard \/lam· sponsor relationships last long beyond the academy years. 

Social events 

The Brigade Acll\'lties Committee plans several special weekends during 

the year, including en'nts like the annual International Ball wit h young 

gut.'qs irom embassy ro,, in Wash111gton. v!idsh1pmen groups also plan and 

part1C1pnte 111 theatrical events, concerts and dinners. Senior na\'al officers 

1oin midshipmen regularly for traditional mess 111ghts featuring formal rules 

ot order, formal toa~ts, skits ,1nd fines. lndiv1dual companies of m1dsh1pmcn 

often organize tl1l'1r own special activities on weekends. Certainly the 

htghhght of our social t'alendar i" Commissioning Week in \1ay -- five days 

of dance~, garden part,eb, parades, concertb, sail111g and a Blue Angels Oight 

demon~trat,on lead111g to graduation and comm,~sioning of first-class

Cultural A ffairs Prog ram 

We take advantage of our proximity to Washington, DC, and Baltimore to 

arrange tickets and transportation to cultural events in those metropolitan 

areas. Plays, symphonies, operas and ballets at Washington"s Kennedy 

Center and other theatres are open to midshipmen from all classes. Many 

other cultural activities, including concerts, poetry readings and lectures by 

leading American authors, are offered right at the academy. 

Extracurricular Activities 

Even with a midshipman's demanding academic and athlellc schedule, you 

will have time for extracurricular activities (ECAs). We have more than 70 

which give midshipmen a chance to share recreational, professional and 

athletic interests. Most of the ECAs are run by midshipmen.

Dunng Plebe Summer, the academy's musical director showed us slides of the 

Glee Club tour, of the chorus and the Barbershop Quartet, the Full Sail Quintet 

and the Sk1vs. I tried out and made the Protestant Choir, but not the Glee Club. I 

was so ner\'ous I had trouble reading the music. By the ne,t year, though, I had a 

place 111 the Glee Club, loo. 

"I didn't smg at all in high school, but I liked to sing when I was younger What 

appealed to me most about the Glee Club was the travel and the chance to 

perform I like the high school audiences the best, because the kids seem to enjoy 

the shows so much, but our Christmas show \\'ilh the president and the first lady

Local and Area Attractions 

The \,lava! Academy hes adjacent to historic downtown Annapolis, which 

is famous for its state capitol, colonial homes and waterfront. The city dock 

is the focal point of the Annapolis waterfront. Workboats outfitted for 

harvesting crabs and oysters berth next to million-dollar sailing yachts and 

power boats. During mild weather, the dock is the scene of concerts, boat 

shows and festivals mixing midshipmen and local citiLens with thousands 

of tourists. For a small city (35,000 population) Annapolis is very 

sophisticated, offering many fine restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, 

museums, repertory theatre and a symphony orchestra. Several large 

shopping centers and malls are located in the suburbs. 

Maryland's largest city, Baltimore, is approximately 30 miles from 

Annapolis and the f\a\'al Academy. Baltimore's Inner Harbor offers a wide 

variety of specialty shops, eateries and entertainments. The Maryland

During semesters of the academic year, off-campus pri\ ileges fall into two 

catcgones: town liberty and weekend liberty. Town liberty permits you to go 

anvwhere w1th111 a 22-milc radius of the academy. Weekend liberty permits 

\'OU to leave the academv after vour last class on Friday and travel beyond 

22 miles before returning ·sunday e\·ening. Liberty curfe\~'s differ accordi;,g to 

seniority You are not eligible for liberty if you're assigned a military watch 

(rotated responsibilities) or if you're having serious difficulty in academics, 

conduct or military performance. Generally, town and weekend liberty is 

authorized for midshipmen as follows: 

• pkbcs have town liberty within 22 miles of the academy on Saturday 

afternoons and evenmgs, and liberty with111 the Naval Academy complex on 

Saturday mornmgs and Sunday afternoons. Plebes can date on at least four 

weekends durmg the vear and throughout Commissioning Week. Special 

weekend liberty may be granted on special occasions. 

• live liberty weekends each semester are authorized for third-classmen, 

eight a semester for second-classmcn. 

•first-classmen have town liberty all day Saturday, Sunday morning and 

afternoon, Wednesday afternoon and Friday evening after classes. They also 

have unlimited weekend liberty, e"cept when assigned military watches. 

Motor Vehicles 

Restriction~ apply to your use of motor ,·chicles as a midshipman. This is 

necess.ir1 because parking space is very limited at the academy and in 

Annapolis. Also, you have limited time off in the first years to make use of a 

prl\·ate vehicle. These arc the current rules:

Academic and 

Professional Education 

To prepare midshipmen as naval officers, the 'Java! Academy's curriculum 

blends professional subjects with required and electi\'e courses similar to 

those offered at leading civilian colleges. Our curriculum has three basic 

elements: 

• core requirements in engineering, natural sciences, the humanities and 

social sciences, assuring that graduates are able to think, solve problems and 

express conclusions clearly. 

• core academic courses and practical training teaching the professional 

and leadership skills required of Navy and Marine Corps officers. 

• an academic maior in a subject chosen by midshipmen to develop their 

mdi\'idual interests and talents. 

Accreditation 

The Na,·al Academy is accredited by the Middle States Association of 

Colleges and Secondary Schools. In addition, seven of the Naval Academy's 

engineering majors are professionally accredited by the Engineering 

Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board of Engineering 

and Technology (ABET). The computer science major is accredited by the 

Computer Science Accreditation Commission (CSAC) of the Computing 

Sciences Accreditation Board (CSAB), and the chemistry major is accredited 

by the American Chemical Society 
Deg ree Awarded 

Upon graduation, vou are awarded a bachelor of science degree, regardless nt 

y1>ur maior, because of the technical content of the core curriculum. Those in 

the top 10 percent of their class graduate with distinction. Those who have 

completed special honors programs 111 selected nwjors graduate with honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

The l\.aval Academv's philosophy of education stresses ind1v1dual attention 

to students by a h1ghlv qualified faculty who are strongly committed to 

leaching. You wont get lost in the classroom at the Naval Academy. Clas5es 

are small, generallv ranging in sin~ from 10 to 27 students. Even the core 

courses required of all midshipmen arc divided into small sections. You get 

individual attention from your instructor In science and engineering courses, 

the same professor who lectures in the classroom super\"ises e,periments in 

the lab. This contrasts sharply with most universities, where scholars may 

address their stud,mts in huge lecture halls, but direct contact with 

undergraduates in labs or discussion sections is delegated to graduate 

assistants. All courses at the '\aval Academy are taught by faculty 

members, not bv graduate assistants.

\.!Jdsh1pmen are generally good students. They carry a heavy academic load, and I

thats across the board 111 everv department and every discipline. I think that's 

t?nJ-,nt 1,·hen you talk to the m1dsh1pmen They know that faculty members are 

willing to give them extra 111struction 111 the afternoon or 111 the evenings or Sundays.

Faculty 

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officers and Ci\·ilians in 

nearlv equal numbers. This practice is unique among service academies dating 

from the earliest days of the Naval School when three civilian teachers 

joined four '\Javy officers in the first faculty. Officers rotate to the academy 

for ,1ssignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from operational units 

and staffs of the '\Javy and Marine Corps. They also can explain how studies 

al the academy are applied in the fleet and the field, On top of their 

professional traimng and experience, all military faculty members have 

master's degrees or doctorates. The academy's civilian faculty members give 

continuity to the educational program and form a core of professional 

scholarship and teaching experience. Nearly all of these civilians have 

doctoral degrees, and many of them are recognized as leading scholars in 

their fields Working together closely, these military and civilian faculty 

members form one of the strongest and most dedicated teaching faculties of 

any college or uni\'ersity in the United States. Although many of them are 

involved in scholarly research and writing, their first priority always is 

teaching. 

Academic Counseling 

You recei\'e as much help as you need in planmng your curriculum. Plebes 

recel\'e at least 2 hours of group and individual academic counseling in their 

first few weeks al the academ) and then are assigned temporary academic 

ad\·1sers. When you select your major, you are assigned a permanent faculty 

adviser from the academic department of that major. Your professors and 

company officer also can help you consider curriculum options relative to your 

talents, interests and career goals in the '\Ja\·y or 'vlarine Corps. 

Core Curriculum 

In four years at the Na\al Academy, you are required to take certain core 

courses to make sure you are well prepared for the major career-path options 

available lo Navy and Marine Corps officers. Core requirements also 

prepare you for advanced professional training and postgraduate education, 

\\'hich are expected of nearly all na\·al officers. Through required courses m 

engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, the humanities, professional 

military subjects and physical education, the '\aaval Academy gives you a 

balanced education to open practicall~ any door of opportunity in the future. 

During plebe or freshman year, all courses are required. These form the 

foundation for the more ad\·anced courses chosen by upperclass midshipmen. 

Some core requirements in the upperclass years have alternative courses from 

\\ htch to choose, depending on your academic background, abilities and 

major. 

The typical academic schedule for plebes includes fi\·e to six academic 

courses in each of two semesters: 

Plebe Year First Semester -- 16 credit hours 

•Calculus I -- Taught at several levels to accommodate different academic 

backgrounds. Plebes not adequately prepared for calculus take a pre-calculus 

course that does not count as part of the minimum mathematics requirement.

From a practical point of new, the be~t tl11ng about taking humanities courses is 

that as an officer mu are first and foremost a leader, not a technician So it's the 

hum,1ntties -- h1ston-, English, ph1losopln. world affairs, languages -- that build a 

good na,·al officer 

'"On the other side of lhe house, for someone who 1s a humanities maior, the 

real1t, of the \.a,·y is that it is very technical, so tak111g engineering courses will 

help the humanities maior It's a perfect balance 

The required military and physical education tra111ing is also verv important. We 

are going to be na,·al officers, not iust eng111eers or managers or whatever. ln my 

op1nron, the mil1tarv performance stands abO\·e academics, but as a whole, the 

militan training, the academics, and the phvs1cal education all come together If 

you han~ one without the other, you·re not developing the complett! person, the 

complete officer 

·1 think the core curriculum is an integral part of the academy It builds an allaround Renaissance n1an." 

• Chemistry -- Taught at se\'eral le\'els, includes laboratories. 

• Fundamentals of Computing. 

• Leadership f -- Introduction to military leadership principles. 

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Literature I - Some plebes take a practical 

writ111g course to prepare for this class. 

Plebe Year Second Semester --19 credit hours 

•Calculus 11-- Continuation of the first-semester course. 

• Chemistry -- Continuation of the first-semester course. 

• American ;'\a,al I !eritage. 

• Fundamentals of Naval Science 

• Introduction to '\a\'al Engineering. 

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Literature II. 

Advanced Placement 

\,Jore than half of those entering the i\aval Academy validate one or more 

course~ based on previous college-level achievement. Each of the academy's 

academic departments sets its own validation standards and considers one or 

morr of the follow111g: 

• tran;.;ripls. 

51 
52 

•department validation tests, administered at the Naval Academy. 

•College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Achievement and 

Advanced Placement tests. 

If you validate a basic course, you can enroll in a sequential course in the 

same subject, take care of another curriculum requirement or carry a lighter 

academic load. In any case, you must take a minimum of 15 credit hours each 

semester and spend a total of four years in residence at the Naval Academy 

to complete professional courses and training. 

'Vlidshipmen who take advantage of advanced placement in their early 

years may pursue independent research, honors programs or master's degree 

studies m their fourth year at the academy, if they qualify for admission to 

these special programs. 

Majors Program 

The Naval Academy is, fundamentally, an engineering school,' and it is 

expected that the majority of graduates will be engineers or technical majors. 

For those exceptional students with unique backgrounds, owrriding interests 

and commitments to other fields of study, a broad majors program in those 

non-technical sciences and humanities that can be reasonably related to the 

na,·al profession is offered. · 

Near the end of plebe year, you choose a major course of study with the aid 

and support of academic and military advisers. A total of 18 majors are 

offered: 

Aerospace Engineering 

Chemistry 

Computer Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Engineering 

General Science 

History 

Marine Engineering 

Mathematics 

Mechanical Engineering 

Naval Architecture 

Ocean Engineering 

Oceanography 

Physics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 
Some of these areas offer additional specialization within the maior. f.or 

example, recogni7mg that the '\avv 1, an important user of space ,·chicles 

and satellites, the 0ia\'al Acadenw recently created an astnmaut1cs trad. 

\\'ithin the aero!>pace engineering major to help prepare m1d~h1pmen for 

assignments with the Navy Space Command and '\ASA. 

Mmors 111 French, German, Spanish, Russian and Chinese are offered to those 

1, ho began to study any of these languages before commg to the academy or 

who complete requirements while at the academy. 

Special Academic Opportunities 

Outstanding students at the '\aval Academy have many opportun1ties to 

challenge and advance themseh·es through several special programs. 

Tride nt Scholars 

Top midshipmen scholars can spend their senior year conducting independent 

research in an area of interest, working with a faculty adviser who is an 

expert in the field. Trident Scholars carry a reduced formal course load to 

give them time for in-depth research and preparation of a thesis. Recent 

Trident Scholar projects have included research on "Failure Modes in 

Composite Materials" to "Analysis of Glint Patterns Using Remote Sensing 

Techn1ques." 

Honors Program 

Midshipmen with excellent academic and leadership performance can 

apply for honors programs offered in history, English, political science, 

mathematics and economics. Honors students complete a thesis or research 

project, and orally defend it before a panel of faculty members. Successful 

participants graduate with honors.

through any combination of validation and overloading can begin work 

toward master's degrees at nearby civilian universities such as Georgetown, 

Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland. Up to 20 midshipmen can 

participate annually, start111g graduate work during first-class (senior) year 

and completing their master's degree programs within seven months after 

graduation from the Naval Academy. Fields of study are selected from 

Navy-approved graduate education programs leading to Navy subspecialty 

qualification. 

Facilities 

From wind tunnels to a nuclear reactor, we have outstanding facilities and 

equipment 111 every phase of our program. Several new academic buildings 

ha vc opened in recent years, and older classrooms, labs and athletic 

facilities have been renovated to provide modern and comfortable areas for 

learning and recreation. 

Special Academi c Facilities 

• propulsion lab 

•wind tunnels, both subsonic and supersonic 

• flight simulator 

• 120-foot and 380-foot towing tanks 

• coastal engineering basin 

• en\'ironmental chamber facilities 

•sub-critical nuclear reactor 

•oceanographic research vessel, field laboratory and weather station 

• 16-mch Cassegrain reflector telescope 

• full)-eqlllpped laboratories for chemistry, physics, engineering, 

oceanography and foreign language courses 

Computers 

Computers play an important role throughout the Naval Academy·s 

curriculum. Our modem computing hardware and software make the learning 

process easier Also, with background and experience in computers acquired 

at the academy, midshipmen are better prepared for the high-tech naval 

systems they will manage later in the avy and Marine Corps. 

The academy's computer facilities include: 

• time-shared multi-computer systems with 1,500 terminals and 

microcomputers 

• extensive library of computer progrnms a,·ailable for use by all 

midshipmen 

• computer languages including ADA, BASIC, PL/1, FORTRA.J'\:, Pascal, 

COBAL, and APL 

• NA \'TAG, or Navy Tactical War Gaming, for classroom tactical 

instruction 

• computer-aided design m engmeering laboratories 

• interactive video for training in foreign languages 
All new midshipmen are required to purchase personal desk-top computers 

during Plebe Summer. After an introductory course, the personal computers 

are used for a \'ariety of courses and purposes over the four-year program. 

Paid ior through deductions from midshipmen pay, the computer then is 

vours lo take with you when you graduate and head for your first assignment 

as a naval officer. Soon, personal computers Ill midshipmen rooms will be 

linked lo the Naval Academy data network and, through the network, to 

other computers and data bases at the academy, and to outside educational 

and commercial information sources. 

Writing Center 

Open to all midshipmen, the Writing Center exists to help those needing 

e·\lra writing instruction. The Writing Center is staffed by English faculty 

members, both civilian and military, who are experts in composition and in 

working with students to improve their writing skills. 

imitz Libra ry 

Built 111 1973, our library offers more than 577,000 volume5, with a special 

emphasis on naval science and history. Comfortable reading and study areas 

can accommodate 1,500 students. The library also contains seminar and groupstud} rooms, typing and calculating rooms, audio and video carrels and a 

computer terminal room. Through Nimitz Library, midshipmen have access 

to other libraries in the Washington and Baltimore areas.

Resou rces Afloat 

The fundamentals of seamanship, navigation and naval operations are 

taught in laboratories afloat our many sail and power craft. The Robert 

Crown Sailmg Center on the Severn River supports many of these activities, 

as well as recreational and intercollegiate sailing. The "Java] Academy's 

large and varied fleet includes: 

• twenty 108-foot yard patrol craft 

•seventy ,ailboilrds 

• ninety Lasers 

•thirty .no dmghies 

• three Tech dinghies 

• t\\'enty-six 24-foot Rainbow-class knockabouts 

• twelve J-24s 

• eight 44-foot sloops 

•twel.ve -M-[oot Luders yawls 

• twenty 40- to 60-foot offshore sail traming craft 

The Naval Academy's sailing program is truly comprehensive. It ranges 

from basK instruction to advanced intercollegiate dinghy and international 

level, open-ocean racing. Each midshipman participates in sailing during 

Plebe Summer in 24-foot knockabouts, Lasers and 44-foot Luders yawls.

"It was incredible on the aircraft carrier. USS Independence is a 25-year-old ship, 

but the1 had 1ust come out of the shipyard and they were going through teshng. So 

we actuallv got to learn a lot more about what the ship's capabilities are than if we 

had 1ust been on a cruise. As third-class midshipmen we were like enlisted so we 

actuallv got to see how the ship works. What I thought was the best part was 

getting down there in the bilges, cleaning everything, chipping paint and working 

in engineering. It makes you appreciate the activities on the ship a lot more. You 

realize there's a lot to keeping that thing afloat. 

'l was really impressed with the enlisted people we worked with. You realize 

quickly that they know the ship infinitely better than you and you spend most of 

your lime watching and asking quesllons. 

"I had taken the basic course, Introduction to Engineering, before gmng on cruise. 

When we went down into the engineering department to learn the system, I didn't 

think it would come back to me, but I was surprised at how much I retained. The 

engineering officer pointed out a particular piece and I could remember what ,ts 

purpose was, what it hooked up to and how it worked. He asked me questions and 

I was able to answer; I was surprised at that, and so was he, because most people 

who go down there are kind of oblivious to what is going on If you have a grasp of 

what 1s going on, it's a lot more interesting than if you have no clue," 

This starts on Induction Day early in July. Areas of emphasis include 

military indoctrination, physical education, basic seamanship and sailing, 

small arms training, first aid and 111troduction to personal computers. See 

page 36 for more on Plebe Summer. 

Third-Class Summer 

In the summer between your plebe and third-class years, you and your 

classmates report to \!avy ships and submarines around the world for 

youngster cruise. You become part of the crew for four weeks, tak111g part in 

gunnery exercises and drills, and standing watches underway. This 

experience gi\'es you first-hand knowledge of the day-to-day routine of a 

\/a\'y ship at sea. You also learn to appreciate the talents, responsibilities 

and perspectives of the enlisted men and women you'll later lead as an 

officer 

After your 111itial four weeks aboard a ship or sub, you will choose an 

additional four weeks of training from a list which includes instruction in 

handling yard patrol (YP) craft or sailboats, airborne or other ngorous 

warfare training, summer school, or additional shipboard experience 

59 
60 

Second-Class Summer 

During the summer before your second--class year, you are introduced to every 

major branch of the Navy and Marine Corps. Many midshipmen consider 

second-class summer the most helpful experience in making decisions about 

what service and branch to enter after graduation. They also say it's the 

most fun of the professional training experiences. 

In one action-packed summer, you fly Navy aircraft, go on patrol with the 

Marines and dive in a nuclear-powered submarine. You also spend five weeks 

in Annapolis studying public speaking, the law of armed conflict and the 

strategy, tactics and naval forces of the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Computer 

war-gaming introduces you to the complexities of tactical planning and the 

capabilities of the U.S. and Soviet nav.ies. Finally, a yard patrol training 

cruise down the Chesapeake Bay teaches you tactical operations, 

communications afloat and refu1es your navigation and piloting skills. 

First-Class Summer 

In the final summer, you gel the chance to put your leadership ski!Js to the 

test, both in the fleet and at the academy. For four weeks, you join a Navy or 

Marine Corps operational unit, and this time your duties are those of a junior 

officer. Depending on your career interests and qualifications, you can choose 

a surface warship, submarine, aircraft carrier, land-based maritime aircraft 

patrol squadron. Those midshipmen interested in choosing the Marine Corps 

after graduation will attend the ""Bulldog" six-week officer candidate course 

in Quantico, VA. 
In addition, vou will choose a four-week elective training period with an 

expanded range of choices beyond those offered to third-class midshipmen. 

First-class midshipmen also direct Plebe Summer mdoctrination and training 

of the newly-am,·cd class at the '\Ja,·al Arndemy. Other firsties help train 

new arrivals at the Naval Academy Preparatory School and at Navy 

recruit traming centers. 

Other Summer Training Opportunities 

In addition to these training programs, the academy offers three sessions of 

summer school. v!Jdshipmen may enroll in concentrated versions of regular 

classes to make up for previous unsatisfactory performance or to get ahead in 

curricular requirements. For many first classmen, there are also opportunities 

to participate in research internships with the Department of Defense, 

State Department, Atomic Energy Commission and other organizations 

durmg the leave period. 

Grading 

Grades have extra importance at the Naval Academy since they affect your 

status and privileges as a midshipman. As the major determinant of class 

rank, they also determine your priority in servJCe selection and seniority 

upon graduation and commissioning. 

We use a letter grading system with these values, called quality point 

equivalents, or QPE. 

A = --1.0 (Excellence) 

B = 3.0 

C =2.0 

D = 1.0 

F = 0.0 (Failmg) 

Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called the 

quallly point rating or QPR. Your QPR 1s figured by multiplying the QPE 

received in each course by the semester hours of credit for the course. That 

total is divided by the total number of hours completed in the semester. You 

earn semester QPRs and a cumulative QPR (CQPR) based on all of your 

grades. 

Midshipmen must maintain a cumulative QPR of 2.0 or above or they risk 

academic probation or dismissal. As required by law, the academy's 

academic board interviews academically deficient midshipmen. 

v!idshipmen subject to academic discharge are those who fall two or more 

courses; ha,·e a semester QPR below 1.5; fail to remove academic probation; 

are two or more courses behind in the matrix of the assigned major; do not 

fulfill a requirement previously assigned by the academic board; or do not 

complete all graduation requirements by the end of the first-class year 

Grades 111 military performance, conduct, physical education and summer 

profes~ion11I trammg are not included in QPR, but are figured into class 

~tand111g Satisfactory performance in professional areas is required. 

61 
62 

Academic Recognition 

Three honor categories recognize midshipmen with outstanding academic 

and professional records; 

Superintendent's List - midshipmen with CQPR of at least 3.4 and no 

past-semester grade below C; grades of A in military performance and 

conduct, and at least B in physical education. 

Dean's List -- midshipmen with CQPR of 3.4 and no failure in any academic 

course or professional area. 

Commandant's List -- midshipmen with CQPR of at least 2.7, grades of at 

least Bin military performance and conduct, and C in physical education. 

Honor Societies 

A number of national scholastic honor societies are represented at the, a val 

Academy. Midshipmen who excel academically may be recommended for 

membership in these societies: 

Omicron Delta Epsilon -- international honor society for economics. 

Midshipmen candidates for election to the i\'aval Academy chapter need not 

be economics majors, but must ha\'e an overall scholastic average of Band at 

least twelve credits in economics with a B a,·erage or better. 

Phi Alpha Theta -- international honor society for history. Membership 

includes both faculty and students who participate in forums, seminars, guest 

speakers and regional meetings of the societv.

Awards 

Outstanding midshipmen are recognized publicly during Commissioning 

Week. A number of organizations and individuals sponsor more than 80 prizes 

and awards honoring midshipmen for excellence in academics, professional 

studies, leadership, athletics, sailing, debate and public speaking. 

Advanced Education 

Postgraduate education is encouraged for all naval officers. In fact, it's 

practically a requirement in today's Navy and Marine Corps, which operate 

very sophisticated systems in a complex world. Nearly all graduates go to 

advanced professional training en route to their first duty assignments. New 

Marine officers go to the basic school at Quantico, VA. Navy ensigns go to 

surface warfare officer school, nuclear power school, flight training or other 

schools, depending on their chosen specialty and the nature of their first 

assignment. Professional training then continues throughout your career. 

There also are several ways for Naval Academy graduates to earn advanced 

academic degrees besides the Voluntary Graduate Education Program 

(VGEP) discussed on page .54. Most officers are automatically considered for 

graduate school as they complete their first duty assignment. If selected, 

they can enter master's degree programs at one of many civilian universities 

or al the Naval Postgraduate School m Monterey, CA. 

Midsiupmen with outstanding academic records can compete for a number of 

scholarships for postgraduate school right after graduation from the , aval 

Academy or after an initial operational assignment. There's also a program 

for up to 15 graduates a year who want to combine careers in medicine and the 

Navy. To prepare for this program, midshipmen usually major in chemistry 

and then enter civilian or armed forces medical schools soon after graduation 

and commissioning. 

Among the scholarship programs available are these: 

Captain Marshall H. Cox Fund - supports summer travel and language study 

abroad by newly commissioned Naval Academy graduates. Programs are 

offered in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, French and German. 

William H.G. Fit.::Gerald Scholarship -- supports two years of graduate 

study at Oxford University in England for one Naval Academy graduate 

each year. 

Marine Corps Burke Scholarship - open to 10 graduates from each class who 

enter the Marine Corps. Graduate study begins approximately two years 

after commissioning. Selectees may choose their field of study from an 

extensive list of disciplines. 

Navy Burke Scholarship (Junior Lrne Officer Advanced Educational 

Program) -- open to 10 qualified graduates in each class for study toward a 

master's degree in science or engineering. These studies, usually at the a val 

Postgraduate School, begin after one operational tour of two to four years. 
On•anogr,1phv Jo111t \1aster's Degree Program -- two midshipmen from each 

\.a\ ,11 Acadcnn- graduating class ma,· be selected for a graduate program in

\.a\ al Academy graduates qualify for a number of other scholarships and 

fello\\'ships a\\'arded for study at ci\'ihan colleges and univers1t1es. These 

graduate studies can be pursued 111 \·arious fields and in several countries 

\\'hilc graduates recei\·e pay as commissioned \.an and \llarine Corps 

officers. Up to 10 members of each class can begin postgraduate studies under 

these scholarships immediate!\· after graduating from the \.aval Academy. 

Such scholarships include·

Marine Engineering Major 

The marine engmeering major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of 

the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology The major is concerned with the 

analysis and design of energy systems. Energy -- its shortage, its efficient use, and pollution 

caused by its use -· are problems tackled by the marine engmeer The marine engineer's task 

1s to develop propulsion plants lo move ships at optimum operational speeds while using as 

little fuel as possible. Improvements Ill efficiency of all types of power plants are needed --

conventional steam, gas turbine, diesel, and nuclear. Today's manne engineers are also 

engaged in developmg new fuels and technologies. They are developing lightweight reduction 

gears and superconductive motors and generators. They are stud)•ing the feasibility of using 

closed-cycle helium turbmes for ship propulsion plants. 

Midshipmen majoring in marine engineering develop a sound understanding of the 

principles of ship design and construcllon; of problems involved in analyzmg and designing 

systems for use in the ocean environment; of the principles of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, 

and reactor physics; and of the techniques and methods utilized in power plant design and 

analysis. They have ample opportunity to broaden this knowledge through participation in 

1nd1v1dual and group design projects under the direction of facultv members representing a 

wide range of technical backgrounds and practical e:.perience. This maior is particularly 

suited for midshipmen considering uclear Power School and a nuclear Navy career 

follm,ving graduation, an area which continues to grow in importance with each nuclear 

submarine and surface ship entenng the fleet. 

Among the outstandmg laboratory facilities available to marine engineers in Rickover Hall 

are a steam power plant, gas turbines and diesel engrnes, a sub-cntlcal nuclear reactor and a 

high-energy neutron generator

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean engineering is the key to the last frontier on earth -- the ocean depths. Ocean 

scientists have provided us with a basic knowledge of the ocean environment; it is up to the 

ocean engineer to apply modern engineering principles in order to enable us to work 1n and 

utilize this environment more effectively. Bv blending the fundamentals of mathematics, 

physics, materials setence and oceanography with the basic elements of civil, mechanical and 

electrical eng111eering, the ocean engineer is able to apply this knowledge to ocean materials, 

power systems, acoustics, wave mechanics, life support systems, ocean energy and a wide 

variety of ocean vehicles and offshore and coastal structures. 

The ocean engineering major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of 

the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The maior offers an integrated 

program of study, utilizing a balance between classroom theory, laboratory work and practical 

application provid111g midshipmen with the background to work effectively as ocean 

engineers. Laboratory experiments are conducted in the 120-foot towing tank and coastal 

engineering basin. Both are equipped with pneumatic wave-makers and instrumented with 

sophisticated sensors and on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. A circulating 

water channel, hyperbaric test facility, a sediment and materials laboratory and an 

environmental chamber are also available. The Naval Academy's computer systems are used 

tn solving design problems. Supervising, directing and teaching this program are the faculty 

and staff of the naval systems engineering department -- a team of professionals recognized 

for providing one of the finest undergraduate majors in ocean engineering available in 

America A bachelor of science in ocean engineering is awarded.

Systems Engineering Major 

Modem svstems, from microwave ovens, stereos and automobiles to spacecraft, missiles and 

robots, are a complex combination of different engineering disciplines. Syst£>ms engineering 

is the science of combining diverse technologies into a single unit and the control of that unit 

to achieve its design purpose. 

The Naval Academy's systems engineering curriculum, rated number one in the country for 

the past nine years, is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. It is an interdisciplinary major 

encompassmg electromcs, mechanics, vibrations, linear physical systems, automatic control 

systems, computer eng111eering and system simulation Analysis and simulation tools include 

analog, digital and hybrid computers. An overall understanding of the analysis and design of 

complete eng111eering systems, including the interdisciplinary interfaces between systems, is 

the primary goal of the major Systems engineering is particularly suited to those persons 

mlerested in the 111teract1ons and performance of a complete system A bachelor of science 111 

svstems engmeeri ng 1s awarded 

Smee most modern systems contain automatic control functions using digital control 

methods, the core of the systems engineering major emphasizes feedback control theory with 

d1g1tal control as a ma1or element. Surrounding this core of control theory is the 

interdisciplinan part of the major with advanced courses in digital technology and 

microprocessors, computer mterfacing and eng111eering, analog and d1g1tal communications, 

analog and digllal simulation and robotics. As a part of the interdisciplinary concept, portions 

ol the svstems engineering ma1or may be fulfilled with advanced courses from other

Chemistry Major 

The chemistry ma1or at the Naval Acadenw provides midshipmen with training ,n all of the 

d1sc1plmc's traditional fields, leadmg to a bachelor or science degree certified b1 the 

American Chemical Society. 
All chemistry ma1ors lake required courses in organic, morganic, analyt1cal and phvs1cal 

chem1,1rv In addition to the required courses, m1dsh1pmen ma, take advanced courses in 

each of llwse sub1ect areas. lndi\·idual laboralorv research projects enable m1dsh1pmcn to 

111vestlgah.' topics of particular intere,I lo them under the guidance of a facultv member 

Chemistry 1s an experimental science and many hours are de,·oted to laboratory work. The 

chem1strv department al the \.aval Academy has one of the finest undergraduate 

laboratories in the nation, with modern spaces and a wide array of instrument.llion Skill<!d 

lcchn1c1ans ma111tatn the laboratories, ass1,t the facultv ,rnd help midshipmen soll'e practical 

problems in the l,1bs. 

Faculty have a wealth of e,perience, not only 111 their academic understanding of chemistry 

but also 111 the practical appltcat1on oi chem1s1n· tn the /\a\'\ and 'vtarine Corps. Chemistry 

ma1ors will find that their avliian and mlitlary instructors can make the stud) of chemh,trv a 

highlight of their learning experience ,,t the '\a,al Academ1. 

The chem1strv major gives midshipmen a solid background in scientific pnnetples required 

for most of the technical d1sc1pltnes in which they will worl-. as naval officers. It also provides 

an excellent academic base for graduate studies 111 such diverse fields as oceanography, 

operations research. management and engineering 

The ability lo approach problems from a scienttl1c vie"·po1nl has enabled ;\.aval Academ) 

graduates with a major 111 chemistry to have particularly distinguished records of 

performance m the Navy's nuclear power tratnmg program, 111 academic phases ol night 

tra1111ng and 111 surface warfare specialties 

Chemistry-related problems are found 111 many aspects of the :S.:avy's operations, includ111g: 

• problems mvoh·ing the handling, storage and quality-control of fuels and propellants 

which are found 111 all warfare communities 

• the development and application of protective coaling materials which concern all 

weapons platforms, from nuclear-powered fast attack submarines to F-14s. 

• the protection of ships' hulls, high pressu re boilers, exotic allovs on high performance 

a1rcrall and sens111ve electronte components from corrosion. 

• 1mvironmental qualtty control, whether the problem is a submarine·, atmosphere or the 

monitoring of slack gas emissions for acceptable pollutant le,·els. 

\Vorl-. 1n these areas is not restricted lo research and development Wherever an officer 1s in 

the '\a\'y, and whate,·cr the duties, an officer with a sound scientific background will be 111 an 

e\Cellc'nl pos1l1on to analvze and find solultons to his or her command's particular problems 

Equally 1mportan1, as a d1\'ision officer or department head, a naval officer 1s a le,Kher to 

whnm others look nt,t onlv for leadership but also for technical knowledge. The soltd scientific 

background de,·eloped al the academy as a chemistry major provides graduates with basic 

lechntcal knowledge "'h1ch not only will be recogni,ed by their subordinates, but also proves a

Physics Major 

The ma1or prog-ram in physics presents fundamental phvsical concepts and principles in such 

,1 wa)· as to emphasi7e their general usefulness, and lavs a strong foundahon for further work 

111 a broad range of tech111cal fields. The challenge of physics lies in uniting its laws and 

dl/fin1ltons, expressed through algebra, trigonometry and calculus, with the mtegrative 

reasoning so essenttal in solving new problems A bachelor oi science degree is awarded. 

Some of the topics treated in the sequence of courses are the origin, propagation and 

receplton of wa,·es of all kmds; field concepts; theory of relativity; basic theory of quantum 

mechanics; and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of developing an openmmdcd and creati,·e approach to the physical world - an approach increasingly important to 

those who will be leaders in the modern l\:avy The physics major is particularly suitable for 

those midshipmen entenng the nuclear power program, but man\' recent physics ma1ors 

ha,·e opted for l\an air, surface line and .\!arine Corps as well. Advanced degrees are 

available to qualified phvsics majors pnor to graduation, immediate!\' after graduation, and 

later 111 their careers. 

Students 111 physics will have access to eight laboratories for regular coursework and spectal 

facilities in acoustics, nuclear phvsics, laser optics and solid state physics. There are also four 

faculty research laboratories, two photographic darkrooms and well-equipped machine and 

electronics shops. Ma1or mstruments mclude a Van de Graaff accelerator. a 16-inch 

Casscgra111ian reflecting telescope, an anechoic chamber, electron spin resonance and 

nuclear m,1gnctic resonance facilities, high resolution spectographs, a helium dilution 

refrigerator and ,i,t1· Apple lie computers for student use 111 data collection and processmg.

Political Science Major 

The political science major is designed to provide prospective naval officers with an 

understanding of the structure and functions of domestic and international political systems 

and with a framework for the analysis of politics. The wide-ranging, interdisciplinary program

area studies of Europe, the Soviet Union, Latin America and Asia. The major is enhanced with 

courses in economics and foreign languages. There are summer internship programs in 

Washington and overseas and the possibility of graduate work in intelligence or national 

security affairs. 

Each spring the political science department and the Division of U.S. and International 

Studies sponsor the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC), which is run by 

midshipmen. NAFAC has become one of the foremost undergraduate conferences in the 

country, drawing professors and students from more than 140 colleges and universities in the

Athletics 

Just as the aval Academy maintains a responsibility for the professional 

and 111tellectual development of midshipmen, so also must it fulfill its 

responsibility for each midshipman's physical development. This is met 

through an intercollegiate sports program -- with 23 mens and 10 women's 

varsity teams, one of the broadest in the nation - and an equally ambitious 

111tramural program. All midshipmen are required to participate in these 

programs, either at the Yarsity or intramural level. 

Nearly all midshipmen are enthusiastic athletes, and some are trul) 

exceptional. Names like Roger Staubach, Joe Bellino, Phil McConkey, 

, apoleon McCalJum and David Robinson have made the sports pages around 

the country. Many other well-known Americans have excelled in sports at 

the \Java! Academy. They include Admiral Stansfield Turner, a former 

director of the Central Intelligence Agency who played \i avy football; Rear 

Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar e,plorer who captained the Navy 

gymnastics team, and Astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space 

and a member of the heavyweight crew. 

In 1987, David Robinson won every player of the year award in collegiate 

basketball and national respect as a member of Navy's basb.etbalJ team and 
131 
132 

a contender in the NCAA Division I national tournament for three straight 

years. He was one of five Naval Academy graduates to participate in the 

1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. 

Thirty-one Navy varsity student-athletes were accorded All-America 

honors in 1987-88. One, Leanne K. Fielding of the women's swimming team, 

was awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. 

Over the years, Navy teams have been successful in both national and 

international arenas. Midshipmen football teams have participated in the 

Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Holiday, Garden State and Liberty Bowls, and 

Navy's rivalry with Army has become something of a national pastime. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. 

avy's heavyweight crew has won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy at the 

Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships three times in this 

decade, and the midshipmen have been four-time winners of the Head-ofthe-Charles Regatta in recent years. 

In 1976, a Naval Academy graduate, Captain Lloyd Keaser, USMC, won a 

silver medal in Olympic wrestling. A member of the Class of 1983, Leo 

Williams, was a four-time All-American 111 indoor track and a two-time All 

American in track and field in the high jump. 

Navy's pistol team completed its fifth straight unbeaten season in 1987-

1988, winning national titles in free and air pistol. This marked the 13th

"In high school, I lettered 111 soccer and track, so freshman year here I played 

soccer, ran track and fenced While fencing is a winier sport, l found out !hat I 

couldn't just pick it up and drop it again to play something else. lt requires a lot of 

concentration and almost year-round practice.

strength and helps train your mind. You tell yourself to stay calm and stay cool, 

and vou have to control vour temper It's also a good wa} to get rid of a lot of 

frusl ra hons. 

"I laving goals like making the team and w111n111g matches reallv helped me a lot. 

Best oi all, though, was the support of the team. You need somethmg besides 

professional training and academics, and a sport is a good way to get awa)' from 

the professional arena. You also get to sit at the team table and relax a ltttle; being 

part of a team helps you take the good with the bad 

"The overall athletic program at the academy 1s great for women because there 

are lots of sports and not very many women A lot of the guys llunk that women 

just get issued varsity letters, but it's not true. We worl-. hard for our letters - and 

we have many opportunities." 
lime Ill lhe pasl 14 years that the midslupmen have earned one of the three 

national titles Ill this sport. 

The Na\'al Academy's sailing team gives midshipmen opportunities to 

develop leadership and seamanship skills through competition in numerous 

intercollegiate and private regattas. Competition ranges from single-handed 

Lasers to 50-foot ocean racers with a crew of 1-t The academy sponsors many 

of these regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy 

\llemonal Regatta in yawls. There are dinghy regattas almost every 

weekend. From 1977-1983, the Naval Academy won the Fowle Trophy, 

emblematic of overall intercollegiate sailing supremacy in North America, 

an unprecedented feat in this sport. The trophy was won again in 1987.

Athl etic Facilities 

A look around the academy gives you an idea of the importance we attach 

to athlellcs and physical conditioning. The facilities for intercollegiate 

and intramurnl sports, physical education and personal fitness are 

unsurpassed and not reserved for just a few athletes. All midshipmen have 

access to these facilities, for team sports or individual workouts: 

•the 30,000-seat Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. 

•Le1eune Hall, built in 1982, containing an Olympic-sized pool with 

seatmg for 1,000; a diving platform and tank; 600-seat wrestling arena and 

personal conditioning areas. 

• a modern 400-meter synthetic-surfaced outdoor track. 

• Macdonough Hall, recently renovated, with factlit1es for gymnastics, 

boxing, volleyball, fencing, swimming, water polo, racquetball, basketball 

and personal conditioning. 

• I lalsey Field House, surfaced throughout with Tartan, including a 220-

• work with nuclear propulsion systems, powerful computers and 

sophisticated weapons systems in locations around the world. 

• command infantry, armor, artillery or aviation units as a Marine Corps 

officer. 

• lead the most talented and highly motivated sailors and Marines in the 

world, no matter what career path you choose. 

You choose your Navy or Manne Corps career field at the beginning of the 

second semester of your senior year or about five months before graduation. 

Midshipmen with the highest class standing have first choice, so options 

and chmces of assignment may be affected by class rank as well as by 

personal and physical qualifications. However, every attempt is made to 

grant you the duty and location you request.

Surface Warfare 

Surface warfare officers sen·e in every type of surface ship in the Navy. 

When you select surface warfare, you have the opportunity to choose the 

type of ship and home port of your first duty assignment. Then, after 

graduation from the academy, you attend a four-month Surface Warfare 

Officer School in Newport, RI, or Coronado, CA, before reporting to your 

ship. Your first tour of duty lasts about 30 months. 

A new ensign typically serves as a division officer, with responsibilities for 

leading 12 to 50 enlisted personnel and directing a portion of the ship's 

equipment and operations. Typical positions include those of anti-submarine 

warfare officer, gunnery officer, communications officer and damage contTol 

officer. In addition, you are expected to work toward qualification as combat 

information center watch officer, officer of the deck, and avy surface 

warfare officer. 

Submarine Force 

Those choosing the silent service begin by studying avy nuclea r propulsion 

after graduation as described below. You then go to Na, y Submarine School 

in New London, CT, for the 10-week submarine officers basic course. Your first 

tour of dut_1; with an attack or fleet ballistic missile submarine lasts about 36 

monthi.. 

In a nuclear submarine, jumor officers lead dh·isions of 15 to 20 men. You ha,·e 

respon~ibilitics in a vital area of operations such as engmeering, weapons or 

communications. You also stand watches and work to qualify as engmeering 

officer of the watch, diving officer and officer of the deck -- all steps 

towards earning the gold dolphins of a Navy submarine officer 
N uclear Propulsion 

The '\avy·s dem11ndmg and highly techmcal nuclear power training 

program is among the best in the world. Those chosen for the program 

usually rank high 111 their class and have a solid background in scientific 

and technical courses, though not necessarily maiors in these areas. 

'vfidsh1pmen who choose surface warfare can jom those choosing submarines 

111 pursuing a sub-specialty in nuclear propulsion systems. If you arc accepted 

into the nuclear power program, you report to uclear Power School in 

Orlando, FL, for si, months ot schooling following graduation from the 

acadenw. You then train for six months at one of several nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country before reporting to your fir~t 

ship 

'\Jearly all of the Navy's submarines arc nuclear-powered. Nuclear surface 

ships 111clude guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, 1111d nucleartrained surface warfare officers alternate between these and conventionally 

powered ships as they advance in their careers. 

Navy Avia tion 

Whether it's land111g an F/ A-18 Hornet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, 

hunt111g a Soviet submarine 111 the I orth Atlantic or maneuvering a 

helicopter ma rescue operation, Navy aviators are constantly called upon to 

perform under pressure. When you choose this career path, you can select 

training as a pilot or a naval flight officer. Pilots fly aircraft while naval 

flight officers serve as bombardiers, navigators, radar and electronic 

111tcrcept officers and antisubmarine warfare systems specialists. 

139 
140 

After graduiltion from the academy, all those choosing aviation report to 

Pensacola, FL, for basic flight training. Then pilot trainees move on to 

Meridian, MS; Corpus Christi, TX; or Beeville, TX; depending on the type of 

aircraft they've chosen. Naval flight officers remain 111 Pensacola for their 

training. You receive your wings after an 18- to 24-month training period. You 

arc assigned to your first squadron after a six- to eight-month indoctrination 

tour in a replacement air group. 

Besides flying, avy aviators have significant collateral responsibilities 

from their very first duty assignment. ew officers typically are charged 

with leading a group of aviation enlisted personnel and overseeing an aspect 

of the aircraft squadron's operations, administration, personnel management 

or aircraft maintenance. 

Marine Corps 

Up to one-sixth of each graduating class may elect to be commissioned as 

second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. After graduation from the academy, 

you attend the Basic School, a 23-week course for officers at Quantico, VA. 

This school gives all Marine officers a common background in the tactical 

study of land warfare. Then you go on to advanced training in a particular 

occupational specialty based on your qualifications and preferences. 

Marine Corps career fields include those in the two basic categories of ground 

and air Ground career choices tnclude infantry, armor, artillery, logistics, 

engineering, data processing and commurlications. Aviation choices include 

pilot, naval flight officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, 

aviation maintenance and aviation supply. 

In their first assignments, Marine Corps second lieutenants generally are 

assigned as platoon commanders with leadership responsibilities for 20 to 25

"Considering my desire to be a na,·al flight officer (~FO), I spent part of last 

summer on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Oman In fact, we were 

150 miles from the Persian Gulf when the Iranian Airbus was shot down. Both the 

nymg expenence and the personal experiences I had made me more determined 

than ever to be an NFO. I had contemplated Marine air for the majority of plebe 

year, but after my first summer cruise, Navv air took first place. 

"Since this 1s our last year and service selection 1s coming up, we're all paying a lot 

more attention to what we will be doing in the future I can see myself staying in 

the Navv longer than five years; I've had a chance to talk to more senior officers 

this year who have told me about all the opportunilies available to me. I've been 

able to get to know some senior officers on cruises and here al the academy. They 

make a sincere effort to help all of us make good career dec1s1ons. 

"First thing after graduation, though, I want to go to Paris, temporary duty, to study 

French for a couple of months before reporting to Pensacola for flight school. It 

looks like I may have the chance, and I can't think of a better way to begin mv life 

as a na\'al officer'" 
enlisted \llarines. You often have a role in a Marine air/ground task force, 

with Marine light infantry cap,,ble of opposing much more heavily 

equipped forces. \llcshing of air and ground officers in these task forces and 

individual units gives officers the opportunity later to command combined 

units, not just within career specialties. 

Restricted Line Specialties 

If you are not physically qualified to serve in the unrestricted line but still 

are physically qualified to be an active duty officer, you can choose from a 

wide variety of alterniltives and pursue a career all the way to the nag 

officer ranks of admiral and general. Restricted line and staff corps officers 

make careers in the fields of intelligence, cryptology, oceanography, 

geophysics, medicine, cngmecring, supply, aviation maintenance, salvage 

and rescue, and public affairs. They serve aboard ships, with aircraft 

squadrons and at shore bases around the world. 

141 
142 

Assignments for Women Officers 

As a woman officer in the Navy and Marine Corps many options are open to 

you to serve in assignments vital to our national defense. You may Ay planes 

as a pilot or naval Aight officer, or drive ships as a surface warfare officer. 

Following training, you would be assigned aboard a variety of Navy support 

ships including combat logistics ships such as oilers, tenders and supply 

ships or in aircraft that would not be expected to perform combat missions. 

Women officers are also eligible for temporary assignments (up to six 

months) to any ship, including combatants, if a combat mission is not 

envisioned during lhe temporary duty period. 

Many women graduates are commissioned in the general unreshicted line and 

choose U.S. and overseas shore duty assignments in communications, 

cryptology, administration, public affairs, personnel, education and training, 

international relations or other areas. Women may also enter restricted line 

or staff corp specialties such as diving operations, oceanography, 

intelligence, supply or civil engineering. 

You also may choose to enter the Ma rine Corps. Women Marine Corps officers 

can be assigned to all career fields available to male officers except those 

that could place them in combat situations. Occupational specialties open to 

women include supply, administration, communications, public affairs, law, 

data processing and air control.

After Your First Tour of Duty 

B, the lime you complete your first tour oi dut~, you'll probably have a 

pretty good idea about your career goals, and the Navy and Marine Corps 

will gi\'e you every opportunity to achieve them. You will have 

assignments lo prepare you for advancement and command of a surface ship, 

submarine, aircraft squadron, Marine Corps unit or an organiza tion ashore. 

"-aval officers alternate between tours oi duty with shore-based units and 

operational commands that deploy overseas in support of our nation's 

maritime strategy. You also have the opportunity for postgraduate study, 

advanced technical trai111ng in your specialty, and coursework at military 

ser\"ice colleges 111 leadership, management, tactics, strategy, politicom1htary affairs and international relations. You never stop learning, even 

as your responsibilities for people, operations and policy-making increase.

Organization 

The I a val Academy is organized much like a civilian college. A board 

of visitors, similar lo a college board of trustees, makes major policy 

decisions. The academy's superintendent, a avy rear admiral, is the 

equivalent of a college president in that he oversees all of the school's 

functions. 

The superintendent"s principal deputies include a civilian academic 

dean, who oversees the academic program and the faculty, and the 

commandant of midshipmen, a I avy captain who serves as dean of 

students and supervisor of all military and professional training. 

The superintendent, commandant, academic dean and academic 

division directors sit on the academic board, which sets the academy"s 

academic standards. The I aval Academy"s 600-member faculty is 

composed of about equal numbers of civilian scholars and experienced 

military officers. The civilian professors give the academic program 

continuity and a foundation of scholarship and teaching e'l.perience. 

The officers, who rotate every two or three years, bring fresh 

experiences and ideas from operational and staff assignments in the 

Navy and Marine Corps.

All fi\'e academ,c d1,·1s1on directors, the academic dean, the commandant, the 

superintendent and one non-\'oling member, the dean of admissions, sit on the 

academic board. The academic d1\'ision directors and the dean of admissions are 

also members of the admissions board, making those s1~ responsible both for 

bringing 1n the m1dsh1pmen and for separating some ul them academically. That 

s\'stem is unique to the l\a,·al Academy. Being on both boards has helped me 

make better decisions on admissions and vice \'ersa - ha\'ing seen thousands of 

applications, 1 know the qualitv of our kids, and I have much more confidence in

The Board of Visitors 

The board of visitors meets twice each year to consider the curriculum, 

instruction, fiscal affairs, academic matters, physical equipment and state of 

morale and discipline. Their membership mcludes the chairman of the U.S. 

Senate Committee on the Armed Services or his designee; three other U.S. 

senators, two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations, 

appointed by the vice president of the United States; the chairman of the 

U.S. I louse of Representatives Committee on Armed Ser\'ices or a des1gnee; 

four other U.S. representatives, two of whom are members of the Committee

Supporting Organizations 

Several private, not-for-profit organizations support the Na\·al Academy in 

important ways. One of them is the Na\·al Academy Foundation, which 

awards scholarships to promising midshipmen candidates (see page 26). 

Others are described below. 

U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The 30,000-member Alumni Association has chapters around the world Its 

national headquarters is Alumni House, a block and a half from the aval 

Academy. All current and former midshipmen are eligible for membership. 

Associate membership is open lo selected friends of the academy. 

The Alumni Association serves its members through such activities as 

publishing the monthly alumni magazine, Shipmate, and an annual Register 

of Alumni, supporting class and chapter organizations and offering group life 

insurance, medical, investment and travel programs. The association also 

coordinates and supports midshipmen parents clubs around the country. 

Members of the Alumni Association are very acttve in assisting young men 

and women who are interested in attending the Naval Academ}. Chapters 

often sponsor events for candidates and their parents, and many alumni serve 

as Naval Academy Information (Blue and Gold) Officers. 

TI1e Alumni Association also is a channel and major source of private funds to 

support Naval Academy and brigade needs that can"t be satisfied with 

federal funding.

Appendix A: Medical Considerations 

The Dep,irtment of Ddense l\lled1cal l:xamination Re\·iew Bo.ud 

(DQD\,ffRB) in Colorado Springs, CO, ~chedules your medical examination 

;rnd l'valuate-. your medical condition \'ery carefully before you are 

wnsidered for an ,1ppointment to the \.a, al Academy Thi, 1s to determine 

whether you h,ivc a medJCal or phvsical condition that might interfere 

with, or be aggr;ivated by, the ;icadcmy s rigorous program or bar you from 

unrestricted scr\ ice as a na,·al officer. 

\,fodical cons1derahons are summan.red here so that you and your physician 

and ckntist c;in estimate whether vou meet the basic requirements for 

admission to the academy This 1s '\OT a comprchensi,•c listing of all 

disqu,1lifying conditions, but rather a brief and general guide for your 

con\'Cmil•ncc 

Waivers 

Some medical requirements c,m be w,1i,·ed for candidates who othennse are 

,·ery promising The report of your medical examination 1s reviewed 

c,1refulh and vou receive a \\'ritten summarv of the results. If vou ha,·e a 

disqualifying condition but would like us 0!0 consider ,·our ·appltcat1on 

further, you ma, request il waiver of the standard by writing to the 

adm1s,10ns board DOD\111:-RB then may ask vou to pronde amplifying 

mformatwn on the condition or to undergo e,·aluation by a medical 

specialist. DOD\,IFRB re,·iews all of the available 111format1on and may 

seek independent revie\\' and an ad,·isory opi111on from the staff of the 

'\,1, ,1( \,ll•dical Command in \\'a-,hington. If your condit10n may be wai,·ed, 

and not all condition, may, your entire record is reconsidered bv the 

admissions bo;ird. The board grants a wain:r if your record suggests you ha,·c 

greater potential for success as a midshipman and a na,·al officer than do 

competmg candidates who arc physically qualified. 

Medical History 

000\11:-RB will renew your medical histon for information on illnesses, 

mjuries, surgen, familial diseases and other factors which could affect your 

phvsical condition You might be asked to submit addit10nal report-. from 

phvs1nans or hosp1tab. Correctable problems, mdudmg dental defects, 

should bl' takl'll care of before vour e,amination for the '\aval Academy. 

[ yes and Vision 

This b the most common problem area for candidates. Our basic requireml•nt 

for ,1dn11ssion is normal (20 20) uncorreded \'isual ,1cuit) in each eye The 

admissions board automaticallv considers wain~r of the visual acuity 

-,t,1ndard for candidates who .ire otherwise phvsically qu,1lifil'd, who ha,·e 

e,ceptwnal scholastic and leadership polent1al, and who meet the 

following additional requirements. 

• nswn corred~ to 20/ 20 in e,Kh eye with eveglasscs (not contact lenses). 

• relracllw error does not e,ceed o.00 diopters in any meridian in either 

t"\'(' 

• astigmatism is :-1.00 diopters or less 111 both e\·es 
•the difference m refractive error between the two eyes does not exceed 

3 'iO diopters. 

Agam, 11 the 011/y problem 1s that your 1111corn•cred visual 11cuity is nol 

normal, lhe Admissions Board will automatically consider waiver of this 

st,mdard, you need not request this. 

Color perception 11111,I be normal. Color vision 1s retested on Induction Day. 

Keratoconus 1s disqualifying. Radial keratotomy, keratomileusis, 

ep1keratophak1a, orthokeratology and all other surgical or mechanical 

procedures performed to correct \'lsual acuity are disqualifying, and waivers 

are not considered 

If you wear glasses or contact lenses, take them with you to your 

examination. If you wear soft contact lenses, do not use them during the three 

days preceding your examination. Do not use ha rd or gas-permeable contact 

lenses for 21 days before your exa111in;1tion

The minimum qualifying height is 62 inches for men and 60 inches for women, 

and the maximum qualifying height for all candidates is 78 inches. Waivers 

may be granted by the Admissions Board to a limited number of exceptional 

candidates whose height falls either above or below these standards. 

The minimum qualifying weight (by height) standards are listed in the 

table below. Because of substantial variation in candidates' body 

composition, we have discarded the maximum weight (by height) standards 

formerlv used. Instead of ma,imum weight, the qualifying standard is now 

body fol percentage: no more than 26 percent for men and 36 percent for 

women. To facilitate processing for most candidates, however, we have 

adopted a table of maximum screening weights which will approximate a 

body fat percentage slightly less than the ma,imum acceptable. If vour 

weight is at least the minimum and not more than the maximum shown for 

your height on the table on the next page, we will assume that your body fat 

percentage is acceptable. 

lf your weight exceeds that shown in the table as the ma,imum for vour 

height, DODMERB will ask you to provide several measurements (if these 

were not recorded at the time of your initial physical examination) from 

which your body fat percentage will be estimated. DODMERB \,·ill provide 

clear instructions for these simple measurements, and you may ask your gym 

teacher (perhaps when you take your Physical Aptitude Examination), vour 

Blue and Cold Officer, a coach, or your school nurse to take the 

measu rem en ts. 
In e\.ceptional cases, either the m1111mum weight or the maximum body fat 

percentage may be waived bv the admissions board. Obesity will not be 

waived, and 1f you e\.Ceed the standards on Induction Day and have nut been 

granted a waiver, you should expect to be disqualified. 

Hearl and Vascula r System 

These cond1t1ons are disqualifying: uncorrected septa! defects; congenital, 

rheumatic, or other disease of the heart vahes; abnormal heart rate or 

rhythm; blood pressure predominantly in the range of 160/90 or greater; 

sc-vere or symptomatic varicOtie veins; and mitral valve prolapse which has 

either caused symptoms or been associated with rhythm disturbance or 

regurgitation. 

Ears and Hearing 

Both ears must be free of tympa111c perforation and acute or chronic disease. 

The average of the hearing loss at 500, lO00, and 2000 Hz in either ear may 

not exceed 30 decibels (150), and the loss at any one of these three 

frequencies may not exceed 35 decibels. The maximum acceptable loss in 

either ei\T at 3000 Hz is 45 decibels and at -1000 I lz, 55 decibels. 

Respiratory System 

Asthma, recurrent asthmatic bronchitis, exercise-induced bronchospasm, or 

reactive airway disease by any other name 1s d1squalify111g. Nasal polyps, 

severe hay fe,·er, and tuberculosis (if active within two years) will also 

result in rejection. l\;asal septa! deviation, hypertrophic rhinitis, and other 

conditions which cause significant reduction of flow through either airway 

or which interfere with drainage of a sinus are disqualifying; after surgical 

repair of a dHiated septum, wai,·er mar be possible. Allergy 

1mmunotherap~1, unless established at maintenance for at least two years 

and expected to be discontinued within two years of matriculation, is 

disqualifying. 

Musculoskeletal System 

Ununitcd fractures, history of surgery to a major jo111t within six months, 

history of derangement of any major joint not corrected by surgery or evidence 

of rnstability subsequent to surgery, certain retained orthopedic fixation 

devices, arthritis, severe scoliosis, symptomatic structural abnormalities of 

the spmal column, and herniated nucleus pulposis or history of surgery to the 

spme for this or any other condition are disqualifying.
