The young men and women who make the choice tor excellence - those who 

decide to come lo the Untied Stales Naval Academy -- are the best and brightest 

this nation has to offer. We take great pride in our leadership and education 

programs that prepare our students to be commissioned ofticers in the Li.S. i\avv 

and Marine Corps. II is this ,111gularity of purpose and focus on excellence that sets 

us apart from other colleges and universities. Our goal, quite simplv, ts to develop 

leaders for the world's greatest Na, y and Marine Corps. 

Al the Lnited States '\Java! Academv, you become part of an extremely proud 

tradition of excellence that spans more than fi"e generation,. Since 18-15, we have 

prnvtded the finest educational facilities, most up-lo-dale and modern labs and 

equipment, and outstanding athletic programs These program, and facilities, 

combined with the unsurpassed qualifications and tireless dedication of our faculty 

and staff who help guide and de\'clop our midshipmen, are unmatched anywhere 

This is our fundamental and all encompassing commitment to excellence. There ts 

one important aspect about the '\aval Academy that we guarantee, We offer you 

the challenge of a lifetime and the opportunity to perform to vour full potential. 

This nation entrusts In us its greatest national trea,ure, the best of its youth. That ts 

each of you ... the future of this nation. And, as world events continue to prove, you 

are the typ<' of tndtvidual needed al the United Stales 'a, al Academy today. to 

prepare for leadership roles tn the Nav, and 'vlannc Corps of tomorrm-,. I 

challenge you lo come onboard, accept this call and share tn our c"ellcnce. 

The Na\'al Academy also is the final rest111g place of Revolutionary War naval 

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

111spircd generations of U.S. naval officers. His crypt is located beneath the 

academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the avy A National 

Historic Site, the , aval Academy hosts about one million tourists every yec1r 

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

beauty of the Yard, to recall some of this country's naval history and to marvel 

at the traditions carried on in midshipmen parades and military fonnations. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies right 

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

\llaryland's stale capital provides a pleasant, diverse sett·ing for one of 

Amenca·s premier colleges, the United States Naval Academy. 

History 

The academy started as the Naval School in 1845, founded by Secretary of the 

: a,·y George Bancroft on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis. Since then, 

the development of the I\Javal Academy has reflected the history of the United 

States. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, su has the

Naval Academy In just a few decades, the Navy has moved from a fleet of sail 

and steam powered ships lo a high-tech fleet with nuclear powered 

submarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. The academy has 

changed, too, giving midshipmen the up-to-date academic and professional 

lrai111ng they need to be effccltve naval officers in their assignments after 

graduation. 

In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new 

curriculum went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the academy for 

four years and to train aboard ships each swnmer That format is the basis of a 

far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy today. 

As the U.S. Navy grew over the years, the academy expanded. The campus of 

10 acres mcrcased to 338. The original student body of 60 midshipmen grew to 

a brigade size of 4,000 midshipmen. Modern granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures of Fort Severn and the Naval School. 

Congress authorized the Naval Acadcm) to begin awarding bachelor of 

science degrees in 1933. The academy later replaced a fixed curriculum taken 

by all midshipmen with the present core curriculum plus 18 major fields of 

study, a wide variety of elective courses and advanced study and research 

opportunities. 

The Naval Academy first accepted women as midshipmen in 1976, when 

Congress authorized the admission of women to all of the service academies. 

Women comprise about 13 to 14 percent of entering plebes -- or freshman -

and they pursue the same academic and professional training as do their male 

classmates. 

Mission 

The Naval Academy has a unique clarity oi purpose, expressed in our official 

mission To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and phvsicallv and to 

imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to 

provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have 

potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest 

responsibilities of command, citizenship and government." Th.is puts everyone 

-- faculty, stafl and midshipmen -- on the same wavelength. It also encourages 

a sense of 5p1nt and pride found at few other schools. 

Program 

The moral, mental and physical elements of our program are equally 

important, all contributing to the qualities of an outstanding naval officer. 

Academics 

Fvery midshipman's academJC program begins with a core curriculum that 

includes courses in engmcering, science, m<1thematics and the humanities. 

This 1s designed to give you ii broad-based education that will quahfv you for 

practically any career field in the Navy or Marine Corps. At the same 'u1ne, our 

majors program gives you the opportunity to develop vour particular area of 

academic interest 

For especially capable and highly motivated students, \\'e offer challengmg 

honors programs and opportunities to start worl,,. on postgraduate degrees 

while still at the academy 
j 

Professional and leadership training 

V\ e don I just tell vou about life in the '\.avy and Marine Corps. Over four 

vears at the av11l Academy, thl? life and customs ol the 11a,·al ser\'icc become 

second nature. First, you learn to take orders from prnctically cvervone. But, 

before long, you acquire the rcsponsibil1lv for making decisions that can affect 

hundreds of other midshipmen. Your professional classroom studie,, arc 

backed by manv hours of practical experience 111 leadership and n11val 

operntions, 111clud111g assignments with '1avv and Marine Corps u111ts dunng 

summer months. 

Moral education 

As future otficers 111 the avy or Marine Corps, midshipmen will someday be 

responsible tor multi-million dollar equipment and the priceless lives of many 

men and women. By necessity, an unwavering tradition of honor and 

111tegrity is a foundation of the '\Java! Academy. In 1951 the midshipmen 

formulated the Honor Concept: "Midslupmen are persons lif integrity; they do 

not lie, cheat or steal. 

These arc not hollow words; the midshipmen continue lo operate a strict 

honor system. Composed of C'lecled upperclass midshipmen, the Brigade 

Honor Committee conducts hearings for those midshipmen suspected llf 

v10lat1ng the I lonor Concept. \'iolahons of the I lonor Concept may lead to 

st•paration trom the '\ia\'al Academy. 

Taught from the first da} that their word must be true, midshipmen enjoy the 

privileges of li,111g 111 an em·1ronment of mutual trust and respect. 

Physical training 

\\'c tc.1d1 the importance of being physically fit and prepared for stress 

because the duties of '.\;avv and Manne Corps officers often require long, 

strenuous hours in difficult situations. The physical requirements of Plebe 

Summer lrn1111ng, four years of physical education and year-round athletics 

also develop pride, teamwl>rk and leadership.

The Class of 1997 

Profile of Midshipmen 

It lakes a special kind of young man or woman to handle the 1\/aval 

Acmkmy's demanding program, bul that doesn't mean all midshipmen are 

alike. Midshipmen rnmc from all 50 states, LJ.S. territories and several foreign 

countries. They have roots in cities, suburbs, farms and ranches, small towns 

and military bases. They have talents and hobbies of every kind and 

personalities that fit even description And, they represent the diverse ethnic 

and cultural heritages that, together, make the United States a great nation. 

Some characteristics seem to be common among \iaval Academy 

midshipmen, however. The charts on these pages show you that midshipmen 

.ire good students, leaders in their high schools and communities and 

intcrl'Sted in athletics. But other common qualities of midshipmen dont show 

up in statistics. The young men and women who choose the l\aval Academy 

arc looking for more than a college degree. They like the idea of bemg 

challenged mentally, physically and personally. They are people who don't 

want to settle for the ordinary, the routine or the easy. 

Midshipmen arc also patriots. They want to serYe their country in a 

meanmgful way - in a profession that helped win this nation's independence 

more than 200 years ago. Finally, midshipmen are young people who look to 

the future. They see the opportunities a,·ailable at the '\Java! Academy, as well 

as the exciting possibilitte, open to them in the J\,avy and Manne Corps after 

gradual ion.

Our Commitment 

Sct1111g apart the Naval Academy from almost every other college and 

u111vcrs1ty 111 the country is our commitment to the total development of our 

students. Some other colleges offer more majors in academics. Some put more 

emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. But nowhere else do you have a better 

opportunity to grow intellectually, personally and physically than at the 

Naval Academy. If you are chosen to enter the Naval Academy, we believe 

you can complete this tough, four-year program. In fact, we arc committed to 

the principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up that 

cummilment with ... 

• small class size. Most classes have no more than 22 students. When you

are an upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five to

10 other students.

• low student-to-faculty ratio. Faculty members get to know you personally

in and out of the classroom They also are available to help with extra

instruction or special projects until 11 p.m. every weeknight. It's not

unusual to find professors and midshipmen burning the late-night oil

together in an academy research lab or at a computer terminal.

• protected study time. Eve11111g study period is reserved from 7:15 p.m. to

midnight Sunday through Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with

their courses. Additionally, l\!imitz Library, computer labs and other

facilities are open for midshipmen use all day and evening, seven days a

week.

• academic advising. To help you plan your curriculum, you get group and

individual counseling as well as an academic adviser early in plebe year.

A permanent faculty ildviser is assigned when you select your major.

• leadership and counseling. Your compilny officer and senior midshipmen

also guide, monitor and evaluate your progress in academics,

military performance and conduct. They also are ready to help in the

event of problems, as are the academy's staff of chaplains and

professional counselors.

• a sponsor program. Hundreds of families in the Annapolis area sponsor

newly-arrived midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place

to relax off-campus. More than enough families volunteer to give every

midshipman a local sponsor. TI1ese contacts often grow into deep

friendships that last a lifetime.

Your Commitment 

Becomrng a midshipman at the Naval Academy is a big step. It's not like 

starting your freshman year at a civilian college. You make a commitment to 

live a military hfestyle. You take an oath of office, promising to be loyal to 

your country and to defend it 1f necessary. You agree to be honorable in 

everything you do and say. Y,1u're also expected to worl-.. harder than you've 

ever worked before and to push yourself beyond your old limits. This is how 

we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of serdce as a naval officer 

and lhe opportunities of a lifetime in the Navy and ,\ Larine Corps.

'The Naval Acadenw is unique rn that we attempt to select and admll young men and 

women for a career, not just a college. 

\!embers of the adnussions board spend countless hours re\'lcwing candidate 

records. Tlus 1s a tough job because of the di,·ersity of candidates applying for the 

Naval Academy TI1ev are aclue,·ers: highly moti,·ated, well-rounded students who 

excel not only academically, but also rn athlehcs and in extracurricular acli\'ities. The 

majority wtli enter directly lrom high school, bul others will come from college or 

prep school programs or from servmg as sailors and Marines in the na,·al service 

"I personally believe that all of the candidates we accept can successfull) complete the 

program 1f they mamtain their desire and mollvaliun. In fact, for the last 10 years, we 

have averaged a graduation rate of 77 percent. 1 thmk this is attributable to the 

wmbinal1on of our laking great care lo match candidates to our program, and then 

helping them succeed while thcv are here.'

appropriate: 

U.S. senntors, represenlntives, the rlelegnte to Congress from the District of 

Co/11111/Jin, tire resident co111111issioner of Puerto Rico. 

Each member of Congress can have five constituents attending the Naval 

Acad1mw at am one time. When a constituent lea\·es the academy, a vacancy is 

created. �1embers may use any one of these method� for nominating candid�tes 

to fill their vacancies: 

• nominate 10 candidates for each vacancy, permitting the Naval Academy

lo e\aluale and select them for admission on a competitive basis;

• designate one principal nominee and nine other candidates as alternates,

ranked 111 order of preference; or

• nominate one principal nominee and mne other candidates as

competitors, pennittmg the '.\!a\'a I Academy to select the alternate

competitors tor admission.

In each of these methods, a fully qualified nominee i� offered an appointment 

to the l\:aval Academy to fill the vacancy. The remaining fully qualified 

nominees also are considered carefully, and many are selected for admission to 

fill the entering class from a national list of qualified alternates. 

Application dates: spring of your junior year (or spring of the year pnor to

Selection for Appointment 

If the Naval Academy admissions board finds you qualified scholastically, 

physically and medically and you've obtained a nomination, you become one 

of the approximately 2,000 candidates to reach this stage. Of that number, 

around 1,450 are offered appointments, with about 1,180 accepting and 

becoming midshipmen. 

Offers of appointment and our form of an early offer (called a Letter of 

Assurance) are made beginning in September and continue through the 

following spring. \!early all appointments are offered by May 15. Files not 

completed by March 21 will be closed from further consideration. 

Naval service obligation 

When you accept an appointment, we send you several important documents 

and forms to consider and complete. One of the most important 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 an July at the Naval Academy. It requires the 

consent of parents or guardian ii you are a minor. In signing the Agreement to 

Serw, 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 l\avy or Manne Corps for at least six years immediately after

graduation.

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

anniversarv of graduation from the l\.'aval Academy.

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

without any mental reservation or purpose nf eva51on; and that I will well and 

faithfullv discharge the duties of the office nn which I am about lo enter, so help 

me God" 

Resignations and separations 

If you enter the Naval Academy d1rectlv from c1\'ilian life, you assume a 

military obligation according lo the Agreement lo Serve. Midshipmen who do 

not fulfill this agreement could be transferred lo the '-Java! or Marine Corps 

Reserve in an enlbted status and ordered bv the Secretarv of the Navv lo serve 

on ach,·e duty for a period not to exceed four years, as provided b� T1tie 10, U.S. 

Code, Section 69S9. Howen1r, 111 practice, the following policies currently apply 

tn midshipmen who enter lhe academy from a ci,·ilian slatu�: 

• if you are discharged, or your resignation is accepted before th!' first dav 

of classes of your second-class (junior) ye,1r, you are discharged from the 

navill �ervice.

• if vou leave the academy after beginning the academic year as a

second-class midshipman (junior) but before the start of first-class year,

the Agreement to Serve, you will return to enlisted status to complete the period 

of sen Jee for which enlisted or obligated, ;is prol'ided by Title 10, U.S. Code,

enlistment or serl'JCe obligation. I fowever, if you are discharged or your

comparable lo the luilmn at a first-rate private u111versity. The amount to be

Other Considerations 

Appointments of women 

Since Congress authori7ed women to enter the sen ice academics 111 1 g76, they 

have been fully integrated into the Brigade. 

Based on the needs of the Navy and M;irine Corps, women comprise about 

13-14 percent of each entering class Admission� standards arc the same as

those for men, with the exception of some allowance's made fnr the physical

differences between men and women.

The academy offers women the same opportunities to c,cel as are e,tended to 

men: a challenging academic curnculum to promote intellectual development; 

a physical training program to build strength, agility, endurance and 

self-confidence, and a military environment lo develop discipline, military 

skills and leadership. 

Previous candidates 

If you applied before but were not appointed to the l\.aval Academy, you may 

reapply for admission with a subsequent class. The application process is the 

same. In general, we recommend you retake your SAT or ACT tests. Also, if vou 

take college or prep school courses betore reapplying, we suggest vou take 

courses similar to those required of first-vear midshipmen. 

Readmission of former midshipmen 

Former m1dsh1pmen desiring to reenter the Naval Academy mw,t obtain a new 

nomination and requalify medically. In addition to admissions board action, 

the academy's /lcademic board must agree to read mil former midshipmen. Like 

any other candidate, you must not be past your 26th birthday on July I of the 

year you would graduate from the academy to be eligible for consideration. 

Request" �hould be addressed to the dean of adn11ssions not later than April 1 

of the year of desired read mission. 

International students 

In the interest of 111ternational and navy-to-nm·y relations, up lo 40 �tudents 

from ccrta111 foreign countries may be enrolled c1t the acc1dem� The Department 

of Defense selects and notifies the countries that mav nomtnate l'andidates. 

Selection of nominees is made by the academy.

Plebe Summer 

All midshipmen begin the four-year program with Plebe Summer, a period 

designed to turn civilians into midshipmen. Plebe Summer rs no gentle easing 

mto the military routine. Soon after entering the gate on Induction Day, you 

arc put into uniform and taught how to salute by the first class midshipmen 

and officers who lead the plebe indoctrination program. For the next seven 

weeks, you start your days at dawn with an hour of rigorous exercise and end 

them long after sunset, wondering how you will make it through the next day. 

Forget television, leisure time or movies You will have barely enough hours 

111 the day to fi111sh your assigned plebe tasks. 

The frantrc, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. It gets 

you ready for your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer 

training and the academic year begins. The summer also builds the foundation 

for the tangible and intangible qualitie!> that make an outstanding naval 

officer You learn self-discrpline. You learn to organize your time and decide 

which thmgs are most important You reach top physical condition. You 

develop your ability to think clearly under stress and to react quickly when 

the unexpected comes your way Any officer \\'ho has stood the watch on the 

bridge of a ship in a storm or landed a jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier at 

night can tell you the importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer introduces you to the basic how-to's of the '\;avv as well. 

Aboard 1'-aval Academy sarlboats, you learn to respect the power of wind and 

current. In motor boats and yard patrol craft, you learn the basics of 

seamanship, na\ igation and boat handling. On the weapons range, you learn 

how to fire small arms safely and accurateJy. You also learn why we have 

high standards of honor, character and morality And, you begin to develop 

your o,vn ideas about leadership and the techniques that will make you an 

effect 1, e leader when vour turn comes.

Leadership Responsibility 

As vou progress through the vears at the academy, leadership responsibilities 

grow Each vear, vou and your classmates assume more important roles in 

runn111g vour company, your battalion and the brigade. B, the time you are a 

firstclass midshipman, you are mal--mg daily decisions affect111g the morale 

and performance of other midshipmen. You are teaching them the 

fundamentals of the naval profession and helping them through difficulties. 

You are leading them through personal ell.ample, communications, rewards 

and discipline and other tech111ques you have learned in the classroom and 

through three years' experience. Your leadership responsibilities also increase 

in summer professional training. After learning what il is like to be a Silllor 

aboard ship during youngster cruise, you undertake the duties of a junior 

officer during your first-class summer assignment 

You build vour leadership skills 111 these and other settings, where you can 

learn from mistakes and benefit from the guidance of seasoned Navv and 

Marine Corps officers. By the time y()U tal--e your position as a naval officer 

responsible for leading t;ilented sailors and marines, you 1--now what 

leadership techniques and styles work best for you 111 different situations. 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the Chapel towers over the other buildings 111 the 

Yard at the Naval Academy and, in a sense, serves as a symbol of Annapolis 

to the outside world This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our 

history, fighting Americans have learned by experience that there is a 

dimension to military leadership -- both in and out of combat -- that is 

essential to real effectiveness. This 1s the spiritual factor, the intangible quality 

we call moral courage. 

Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Orthodox and Christian Scientist services, in both 

traditional and contemporal') form, are held each week at the academy. :V

lidsh1pmcn nlso may attend any of the churches in the community While 

attendance at religious scrnccs 1s optional, midshipmen are rcm111ded that as 

officers of the n,1\ al scn'icc their personal beliefs will often be tested and that 

m time of stress their subordinates will look to them for spiritual as well as 

professional gu1dnnce. The aval Acildemy has long believed that future 

officers owe it to themselves and to those thev will lead to ga111 insights into 

moral, ethical and spiritual dimensions of mililan leadership. Midshipmen 

arc encouraged to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral 

development at the academy From the first dav of Plebe Summer until the 

dav of comm1ssw111ng four years later, the acadcmv's staff of seven chaplains 

serves 1111d mm1sll'rs to the needs nf the Brigade of Midshipmen. Among other 

things, they provide personal counseling rangmg from faith-centered issues 

through crises of life and death to future marriage plans. 

In exercising a ministry of "presence" throughout the daily life of the brigade, 

chaplnins sponsor and parllc1pate 111 Bible studies, prayer groups and religious

other brigade activities - all of "h1ch are designed to share and build lasting 

spiritual resources and to cultivate the strength and inspiration that comes 

from a deeplv personal relationship with God. 

Recreation 

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

many club!> and extracurricular activities. For plebes especially, these activities 

help to relieve the stress of academics and the tough military routine. After 

plebe vear, vour free lime increases to relax, pursue personal interests. date 

and explore the local area. There's much to see and do in Annapolis, Baltimore 

and Washington, D.C. There also arc many cultural, social and sports 

activities sponsored by the academy. 

Spectator sports 

On autumn weekends, the excitement and color of avy football sweeps the 

brigade. All m1lbh1pmen attend home games in '.'Ja,·y-Marine Corp,, 

Memorial Stadium. Groups ol midshipmen also attend most away games. The 

football season end:, with the whole brigade cheering on the team 111 the 

traditional Army-Navy game There arc 28 other vars1t\ :\aq· teams to cheer 

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

supporters for almost every n,·alry from wrestling and swimming to lacrosse, 

basketball, sl,cccr and baseball. 
Plebe Sponsor Program 

During Plebe Summer, eve!"} midshipman is introduced to an Annapolis-area 

familv that has volunteered lo host midshipmen for dinners, local sightseeing, 

recreation and simple relaxation away from the demands of the Yard. Many 

sponsor relationships last long beyond the academy years. 

Social events 

The Brigade Activities Committee plans several special weekends during the 

year, including events like the annual International Ball with young guests 

from embassy row in Washington. Midshipmen groups also plan and 

participate in lhcalncal events, concerts and dinners. Senior naval officers join 

midshipmen regularly for traditional mess nights featuring formal rules of 

order, formal toasts, skits and fines. Individual companies of midshipmen 

often orgamze their own special activities on weekends. Certainly the 

highlight of our social calendar is Commissioning Weck in May - five days of 

dances, garden parties, parades, concerts, sailing and a Blue Angels flight 

demonstration leading to graduation and commissioning of midshipmen first 

class.

Cultural Affairs Program 

We take advantage of our proximity to Washington, D.C., and Baltimore to 

arrange tickets and transportation to cultural events in those metropolitan 

meas. Plays, symphonies, operas and ballets at Washington's Kennedy Center 

and other theatres arc open to midshipmen from all classes. 

With the 1991 open111g of the Bob I lope Performing Arts Center at Alumni 

I !all, the Naval Academy is able to provide a wide variety of theatrical and 

concert events to midshipmen. The Distinguished Artists Series, which 

presents performers of international renown, is the centerpiece of the 

program. Masqueraders productions, musicals, Glee Club concerts, Chapel 

organ recitals, popular music concerts, Naval Academy Band concerts and 

chamber music recitals round out the action-packed year of events. 'vlany 

other cultural activities, includ111g poetry readings and lectures by leading 

American authors, are offered at the academy. 

Extracurricular Activities 

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

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

give midshipmen a chance to share recreational, professional and athletic 

interests. Most of the ECAs are run by midshipmen.

Local and Area Attractions 

The Naval Academy lies adjacent to historic downtown Annapolis, which is 

famous for its stilte capitol, colonial homes and waterfront. The city dock 1s 

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 cihzcns with thousands of 

tourists. For a small city of 35,000, 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 Naval Academy. Baltimore's Inner Harbor offers a wide variety of 

specialty shops, eateries and entertainment. The Maryland Science Center 

and the National Aquarium arc also there. Greater Baltimore also has 

theatres, galleries, museums and a zoo. For sports enthusiasts, there are race 

tracks, a professional indoor soccer team and the Baltimore Orioles baseball 

team. 

Due west of Annapolis lies Washington, D.C., our nation's capital. 

Washington is home to the Smithsonian Institution with its museums of 

'\latural I listory, American Art, American History and Air and Space. There 

are hundreds of other attractions ranging from art galleries, symphonies, 

opera, ballet and off-Broadway theatre to rock and jazz concerts, ethnic 

festivals and scenic parks. Washington also has its share of professional 

sports learns including the Redskins in football, the Bullets in basketball and 

the Capitals 1111ce hockey.

Midshipmen Pay and Benefits 

The l\;avv pavs for the tuition, room and board, and medical and dental care 

of Naval Academy midshipmen. You also enjoy regular active-duty benefits 

including access to military commissaries and exchanges, commercial 

transportation and lodging discounts and the ability to fly space-available in 

military aircraft around the world. \l!idshipmen pay is $543.90 monthly, from 

which laundry, barber, cobbler, activities foes, yearbook and other service 

charges are deducted. Actual cash pay is less than $100.00 per month your first 

year, increasing each year to over S300.00 per month in your fourth year. 

Midshipmen may voluntarily sign up for the Midshipmen Investment Fund 

(MIF) which will allow you to invest a portion of your $543.90 monthly pay 

without a reduction in your actual cash pay. Participation in this program for 

four years allows you to save over $1,800.00 by graduation. 

Leave and Privileges 

The Naval Academy's combined academic, military and physical development 

programs demand a lot of effort, requiring you to spend more time on campus 

than the typical civilian college student. But midshipmen enjoy Christmas and 

summL'r vacations (leave) plus shorter periods of time off (liberty). Free time 

lo be away from the academy is based in large part on assigned military 

responsibilities, performance in academic and military endeavors and class 

seniority You earn more liberty and privileges each year you advance at the 

academy All midshipmen generally are granted leave during these periods:

During semesters of the academic year, off-campus privileges fall into two 

categories: town liberty and weekend liberty Weekend liberty permits you lo 

leave the academy after your last class on Friday and return Sunday evening. 

Liberty curfews differ according to seniority. You are not eligible for liberty if 

you are assigned a military watch (rotated responsibilities) or if you are 

having serious difficulty in academics, conduct or military performance. 

Generallv, town and weekend liberty is authorized for midshipmen as 

follows: 

• Plebes have town liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and liberty

within the Naval Academy complex on Saturday mornings and Sunday

afternoons. Plebes can date on at least four weekends during the year and

throughout Commissioning Week. Special weekend liberty may be 

granted on spcetal occasions.

• Five liberty weekends each semester are authorized for third-clilssmcn,

eight a sen;cstcr for second-classmen.

Academic and 

Professional Education 

Tc, prepare midshipmen as n,l\ al officers, the '\Ja,·al 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, to assure that graduates are able to th111k, soh·e problems

and e,press conclusions clearly;

• core academic courses and practical trnining to teach the professional and

leadership skills required of a,°

). and Marine Corps officers; and

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

111dividual interests and talents.

Accreditation 

The Naval Academy is accredited bv the Middle States l\ssociation of Colleges 

and Secondary Schools. In addition, se,·en of the Naval Academy's engineering 

majors are professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation 

Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technolog) 

(ABET). The computer science major is accredited bv the Computer Science 

Accreditation Commission (CSAC) of the Computing Sciences Accreditation 

Board (CSAB), and the chemistry maior is accredited by the Amencan Chemical 

Society 
Degree Awarded 

Upon graduation, you are awarded a bachelor of science degree, regardless of 

your major, because of the technical content of the core curriculum. Those in lhe 

top 10 percent of their class graduate with d1st111ct1on. Those who have 

completed special honors programs in selected majors graduate with honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

The Naval Academy's philosophy of education stresses attention lo individual 

students by highly qualified faculty members 1,•ho are strongly committed to 

tcach111g. You won't gel lost in the classroom al the Naval Academy. Classes are 

small, generally ranging in si,:e from 10 to 22 students. Even the core courses 

required of all midshipmen are divided into small sections. You get individual 

attention from your mstructor. In science and engineering courses, the same 

professor who lectures in the classroom supervises experiments in the lab. This 

contrasts sharply with most universities, where scholars may address their 

students in huge lecture halls, but direct contact with undergraduate!-. in labs or 

discussion sections is delegated to graduate assistants. All courses at the 1\/al'al 

Academy are taught and graded by faculty members, not by graduate 

assistants.

Faculty 

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in nearly 

equal numbers. This composition is unique among service academies. It dates 

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

four Navy officers in the first faculty. Officers rotate to the academy for two- to 

three-year assignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from operational 

units and staffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. They can also explain how 

studies at the academy are applied 111 the fleet and the field. 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 university in the United States. Although many 

faculty members are involved in scholarly research and writing, their first 

priority always is teaching. 

Academic Advising 

M1dsh1pmen receive as much help as they need in planning their academic 

programs. The academic advising system has two stages. During Plebe Summer 

each company of plebes b assigned a faculty member, either military or civilian, 

to act as its adviser. Each plebe receives academic counseling including basic 

stud) skills 111formation pnor to the commencement of the academic year. 

Ad\ ising continues throughout the year as often as necessary. When a major is 

selected in the spring of plebe year, midshipmen are assigned a permanent 

faculty adviser from the academic department of that major. Professors and 

company officers are extremely helpful in providing academic counseling and 

advice to midshipmen. 

Core Curriculum 

ln four years at the Naval Academv, you are required to take certain core 

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

available to avy and Marine Corps officers. Core requirements also prepare 

you for advanced professional training and postgraduate education which are 

e,pected of nearly all naval officers. Through required courses in engineering, 

natural setences, social sciences, the humanities, professional military subjects 

and physical education, the Naval Academy gives you a balanced education to 

open practically any door of opportunity in the future. 

During plebe or ire�hman year, nearlv all courses are required The required 

cour5es form the found<ltion for the more ad,·anced courses chosen bv 

upperclass midshipmen Some core requirements in the upperclass years have 

alternative courses from which to choose, depending on your academic 

background, abilities and major. 

The tvpical academic schedule for plebes includes five courses 111 each of two 

semesters: 

Plebe year, first semester - l6 credit hours 

• Calculus I - Most begin here, some place into later calculus courses and a

few plebe� not adequatelv prepared for calculus take a pre-calculus course

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

• Chemistn· I -- lncludmg laboratories.
• U.S. Government and Constitutional Development - TI1e foundation of

American democracy.

• Leadership I - Introduction to military leadership principles.

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

writing course to prepare for this class.

Plebe year, second semester -- 18 credit hours 

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

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

• American aval Heritage -- A history of this country's navy.

• Fundamentals of Naval Science -- The basic elements of shipboard

operation, organ1.:ation and propulsion.

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Literature II.

Advanced Placement 

More than half of those entering the Naval Academy validate one or more 

courses. This \'alidation is attributable to previous cullege-level achievement 

Each of the academy's academic departments sets its own validation standards 

and considers one or more of the following: 

• tra nscn pts;

• department \'alidatton tests, administered al the Navill Academy; and

• College rntrnnce Exilm1t1al1on Board (CEEB) Achievement and

Ad,anced Placement tests.

If you validate a course, you can enroll in a sequential course m the same 

subject, lake 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. 

Midshipmen who take advantage of validation in their early years and meet 

high standards of academic performance may pursue independent research, 

honors programs or master's degree studies in their fourth year at the 

academy. 

Majors Program 

The Naval ACildemy is strongly oriented toward science and engineering, and 

the maiority of graduates are engmeers or technical majors. For those students 

with backgrounds or overriding interests in other fields of study,a broad majors 

program in those social sciences and humanities that can be reasonably related 

to the na va I 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 is offered: 

Aerospace Engineering 

Chemistn 

Compute� Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Engineering 

General Science 

Histor) 

Marine Engineering 

Mathematics 

Mechanical Engineering 

NavaJ Architecture 

Ocean Engineering 

Oceanography 

Phvsics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 

Some of these areas offer additional specialization within the major. For 

example, recognizing that the Navy is an important user of space vehicles and 

satellites, the Naval Academy created an astronautics track within the 

aerospace engineering major to help prepare midshipmen for assignments with 

the Navy Space Command and I ASA.

Summer courses and training 

Plebe Summer 

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 introduction 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 will either 

conduct Atlantic patrols in Yard Patrol craft or sail to Bermuda or New England 

on USNA training sloops. Additionally, you will spend four weeks in U.S. 

Marine Corps leadership training, experiencing the ultimate test of teamwork. 

Second-class summer 

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

major branch of the Navy. In one action-packed summer, you fly Navy aircraft 

at Pensacola and dh·e in a nuclear powered submarine off the coast of Florida. 

You and your classmates will also report to Navy ships and submarines around 

the world for second class cruise. You become part of the crew for six weeks, 

taking part in drills, gunnery exercises and standing watches underway This 

experience gives you first-hand knowledge of the daily routine of the Navy at 

sea You also learn to appreciate the talents, responsibilities and perspecti,·es of 

the enlisted men and women you will later lead as an officer. 

First-class summer 

In the final summer, you get the chance to put your leadership skills to the test, 

both Ill the fleet and at the academy For eight weeks, you join a Navy or Marine 

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

Depend mg on your career interests and qualifications, you can choose a surface 

warship, submarine, aircraft carrier, or aviation squadron. Those midshipmen 

interested in choosing the Marine Corps after graduation may attend a 

five-week officer candidate course in Quantico, Va., with a follow-on 

three-week tour attached to a Fleet Marine Force unit.

Other summer training opportunities 

To complement these summer training programs, the academy offers the 

opportunity to qualified midshipmen to attend several different warfare 

schools: airborne school (parachute jumping) in Georgia, SEAL training (the 

Na\'y' special warfare sea, air and land teams) in California, scuba school in 

Florida, or survi\'al eva�ion, resistance, escape (SERE} training in Colorado, 

which are done in lieu of leave 

The academy also offers summer school. Midshipmen ma, enroll in 

concentrated 1·ersions of regular classes to make up tor previous unsatisfactory 

performance nr to get ahead in curricular requirements. These classes are taken 

in lieu of summer leave. 

Grading 

Grades have an added dimension at the Naval Academy in that thev affect your 

status and privileges as a midshipman. As the major determinant �f class �an!-., 

they also determine your priorit) in service selection and seniority upon 

gradualton and commissioning. 

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

equivalents, or QPE: 

A = .J.O (Excellent) 

B = ,.o (Good) 

C = 2.0 (Satisfactorv) 

D = 1.0 (Maginally ·passing) 

F - 0.0 (Failing) 
Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called the quality 

pmnt rating or QPR. Your QPR is figured by multiplving the QPE received in 

each course bv the semester hours of credit for the cnurse. That total is di\'idcd 

bv the total �umber 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 Academic Board 

reviews the records of academically deficient midshipmen. Midshipmen subject 

to academic discharge are those who fail two or more courses; have a �emester 

QPR below 1.5; fail to remove academic probation; are two or more courses 

behind in the matri, 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 in military performance, conduct, the physical education and summer 

professional training are not included in QPR, but they are figured into class 

standing. Satisfactory performance 111 professional areas is required. 

Academic Recognition 

Three honor categories recogni7e midshipmen with outstand111g academic and 

professional records: 

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

grade below C; grades of A in military performance, conduct and physical 

education 

Dean's List -- midshipmen not on the Superintendent's List with semester QPR 

of 3.4 and no grade below C in any academic course; grades of at least B 111 

military performance, conduct and at least a C in physical education. 

Commandant's List - midshipmen with semester QPR of at least 2.9, grades of 

at least Bin military perfom1ance, A 111 conduct and Bin physical education.

Marine Engineering Major 

The manne engineering ma1or ,s accredited b\' 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 - arc problems tackled by the marine engineer The marine enginee(s task is to develop 

propulsion plants lo mo,·c ships at optimum operational speeds while using as little fuel as 

possible. lmpro\'ements in efficiency of all types of power plants are needed - conventional 

steam, gas turbine, diesel and nuclear. Today's marine engineers are also engaged in developing 

nc" fuels and technologies. They are developing lightweight reduction gears and 

superconduc11,·c motors and generators. They are studymg the feasibilit) of using dosed-cycle 

helium turbines for ship propulsion plants. 

Midshipmen ma1onng in marine engineering develop a sound understanding of the principles of 

ship Je,1gn and construction; of problems involved 111 analvzing and designing systems for use in 

the ocean ennronmenl; of the principles of fluid dvnamics, heat transfer and reactor phvsics; and 

of the tf.'chn,qucs and methods ullliLed in power plant design and analysis. They have ample 

opporlunitv to broaden lh1s knowledge through participation in indh·idual and group design 

projects under the dirc-cllon of faculty members representing a wide range of technical backgrounds and practical experience, This ma1or is particular!)' suited for midshipmen considering 

Nuclear Power School and a nucleilr, av} career follow,ng graduation, an area which contmues 

to grow in importance with each nuclear submarine and surface ship entering the fleet. 

Among the outsland111g laboratory facilities a,·ailable lo marine engineers in Rickover Hall are a 

steam power plant, gas lurbmes and diesel engines, a sub-critical nuclear reactor and a 

high-energy neutron generator A dedicated taculty and technician staff complement these 

facilities lo prO\·ide one of the best programs in conventional and nuclear propulsion plants in the 

country. A bachelor of science dcgre<' in manne cngincf.'ring is awarded

Naval Architecture Major 

The naval architecture ma1or 1s accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Comm1ss1on of Lhc 

Accred1tallon Board for Engmeering and Technology. The ma1or is unl1l..e most engineering 

d1sc1plines that are unified by the nature of the phenomena in\'olved. This ma1or ongmally came 

mto being as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A speoal combination of 

knowledge and experience 1s needed to develop, design and build tlus single product. Variety 

exists not only in the kinds of work (design, research, cost-est1mation, management), but also in 

the types of craft involved - from sailboats to aircraft carriers, hydrofoil boats to catamarans and 

submarines to surface-effect vehicles. 

'\Java! architects use both art and engineering m des1gnmg ships. Armed ,nth 11nagination and 

e>.penence, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effccti,·e design. They 

analvze and select the best dimensions and hull fonn, calculate the power requirements and 

estimate the weights of the pnnc,pal components. They design and analyze the hull structure and 

decide on the location of nulitary sub-systems, machinery spaces, accommodations and stores. 

Additionally, the ship must be divided into watertight compilrtmcnts so that, if damaged, the 

chances of survival are maximized Weighing and compromising all such conflicting needs in the 

design of the ship are the creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect. 

\Java I architecture al the Naval Academv approaches these top,cs in a fully integrated program 

of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work. field trips and the latest in computer-aided 

design and analysis techniques. Two towing tanks, a circulating water channel and a static 

stability tank are some of the many facilities available to midshipmen ma1oring in naval 

architecture. A distinguished and ,nnovative faculty complement these outslandmg facilities and 

contribute to makmg this one of the finest undergraduate majors available in its field A bachelor 

of science in naval architecture is awarded

The computL'r science major gi,·es students a background in the main facets of computer science 

with an orientation toward the na,·al apphcahons of computers. A designated bachelor of science 

degree is ,1w,1rded The program 1s accredited by the Computer Science Accred1tahon 

Commission of the Co111put111g Science Accreditation Board 

The computer science department operates its own VAX 6420 and VAX 8350 m111icomputers 

running the\ MS operatmg system, hosting software cngmeering and database products and the 

toltowing languages: Ada, C, Pascal, LISP, PROLOG and FORTRA:--J. These machines are 

accessed bv students through one of 40 microcomputers in two laboratory classrooms or from 

thc1r personal computers m their rooms \"ia the Naval Academy Data Network. Two MicroVAX 

11s support ,1 local art:'a network operation. Additionally, the department mamtams three Sw1 

network file serwrs running the UNI\ ,1perating svstem and has a robotics and a graphics lab. 

Complementing departmental resources, Computer Services operates a nctworl.. of distributed 

UNIX machmcs. Upon �ntrv into the acadcm,·, each midsh1pm,111 is issued a n11crocomputer with 

word processing and spreadsheet software and a Windows environment package. 

Today's Navv and vlanne Corps require Junior officers with the highest levels of technical 

c,pcrtise and prnfessi1,nal competence. The computer science nia1or will be welt-equipped to 

meet the challenges of managing multiple computer svstems and handling the rapid integrahon, 

analysis and dissemination of information generated.

Department of Oceanography 

Oceanography Major 

The oceanograph\' major g1"es future naval officers practical and theoreticaI knowledge of the 

ocean environment and builds a sound academic foundation ior future graduate study in anv 

technical uISciphnc An 111tcrdisciplinarv science major, oceanography in\'Ol\'es the studv of 

mcteorologv, gcophvsics, physics, chemistry, b1olog\' and geology as they relate to the ocean 

ennronmcnt. Basic courses in these areas are prerequisites for more ad,·anced oceanography and 

meteorologv courses. Students take course, in geophysical fluid dvnamics, sound propagation m 

the ocean, the studv of waves and tides and the use of satellites in oceanography. A course 111 

ad\'anced b10logical oceanograph\' offers a glimpse of the undersea world and its marine 

creatures; synoptic mctcorolog\· courses mvol\'e hands-on weather forecasting experience using 

the latest tools ,wa1lablc. 

More than 25 percent of the required course load is within the oceanography specialty. Other 

courses include advanced mathemallcs, necessary to describe the complex behavior of fluid 

environments. 

The N,wal Acade1m boasts the most extensive undergraduate oceanographic facilities 111 the 

countn Located at the mouth of the Sen�m Ri,c'r, the Hendri, Oceanographv Laboratory is a 

mult1-funct1on enclosure featuring a wet laborator\' where students interact with the world's 

largest estuarv, the Chcsapcal-e Ba\' The academv·s research \'essel enables midshipmen to collect 

samples and oceanograph1C data afloat and deli\'er them to Hendri, Lab. Another laboratorv 

complex m Ricko\'er I Jail houses the gc'<.>logical, biological. chemical. general oceanographic and 

remote ,o:nsmg laboratories. The mckon,Iogical laboraton· has an on-line receiver to display 

charts from the "-ahonal Oceanic and Atmospheric Admmistration and the Na,·al Oceanography 

Ct1mmand, direct access to the \'\'orld \Jeteorological Orgam7ation·s data network. a color 

weather radar displa\', and a high resolution satellite rece1\'er all of which can be accessed \'ia 

computer workstations Students use all of these facilities 111 required courses as well as 1n their 

electives

Athletics 

Just as the Nal'al Academ,· maintains a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so also must 1t fulfill its responsibility 

for each midshipman·� physical development. This is met through an 

intercollegiate sports program that is one of the broadest in the nation - 20 

men's and 9 women's ,·arsitv teams - and an equally ambitious intramural and 

club sports program All midshipmen are required to participate in these 

programt-, either at the ,·arsity, intramural or club level. 

Vice Admiral William P. Lawrence, former superintendent of the I aval 

Academy and an e:1--POW 111 Vietnam, once noted: "I think there is one 

characte�1stic ol the American people that contributes immensely to the 

greatness of our country and that's our dedication to c:-.cellence 111 e,·ery way of 

American lifo. And I think we attach a high de1-,>ree of significance to excellence 

111 phvsical fitness. Intercollegiate sports more or less represent the ultimate in 

excellence in amateur sports -- that'5 one of the real ,·alues of intercollegiate 

athletics. It's great for the sp1r1t and morale of the country to ha,·e this 

demonstration of physical excellence at the collegiate le,·cl Intercollegiate 

sports impart those values a military leadc>r must have to a large degree:· 

Admiral Lawrence has been the recipient of two of this nation's most 

prestigious ,1thletic awards -- the National Football Foundation and Hall of 

Fame's Gold �lcdal and the Theodore Roosevelt �\ward from the '\;ational 

Collegiate Athletic Association ( CAA). 

The roll call of varsity "N" winners at the lava] Academy reads like a veritable

Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar explorer who captained the Navv 

gymnastics team; Fleet Admiral Chester Nimit1., also a former Navy oarsman; 

,ind Fleet Admiral Bull Halsey of World War II fame, a football player at the

Collegiate Basketball Player of the Year, Dadd Robinson. 

Robinson powered the midshipmen lo the NCAA basketball tournament three 

straight vears in the 1980s, was named the '\Jational Basketball Association 

'Rookie of the Year" 111 1990 and was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic gold 

medal basketball temn. 

A vear ago, 30 Navy varsity student-athletes were accorded All-America 

honors, and the pistol and sailtng Learns won national titles. In addition, Na,v 

won conference or regional championships in seven sports. 

Over the vears, '\.avv teams ha\'e been successful in both national ilnd

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

shells al Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. The 

heavvweight crew has won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy (for overall team 

performance) al the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships six 

times in recent years, including 1993. 

In addition lo the medal-wim1ing crews, Navy athletes O\'er lhe years have been 

frequent mecfal winners in the Olympics. Lloyd Keaser, a 1972 graduate, won 

a silver medal in wrestling in the 1976 Olympics, and David Robinson earned 

a bron/c med11I 111 men's basketball 11l the 1988 g11mes in addition to the gold 

medal in 1992. 

Midshipmen teams in men's basketball, men's cross country, women's cross 

country, lacrosse, rirle, soccer, women's swimming, waler polo and women's 

volleyball have all earned berths in NCAA championship competition in the 

past decade. 

The Naval Academy's sailing team provides midshipmen with opportunities to 

develop leadership and seamanship skills through competition in numerous 

intercollegiate and pri,·ate regattas. Competition ranges from single-handed 

Lasers to SO-foot ucean racers with a crew of 1-1. The academy sponsors many 

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

Memorial Regalia.

Career Opportunities 

After Graduation 

Graduation from the Naval Academy brings new opportunities for leadership, 

learning, professional advancement, travel and excitement. From your very 

hrst assignment as an officer in the naval serv

ice, you will have more 

responsibility and challenge on the job th,rn almost any civilian iust out of 

college. Also, naval officers have key roles in implementing the nation's 

maritime strategv, a forward-based and multi-service strategy designed to 

deter aggression, support allies and protect U.S. interests overseas. 

Your service commitment begins at graduation, when you are commissioned 

as an ensign in the Navy or a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. All 

physically qualified graduates ilre commissioned into the unrestricted line of 

the a,·y or Vlarine Corps. Most midshipmen who graduate but are 

plwsically ineligible to serve in the unrestricted line are commissioned in a 

restricted line specialty such as intelligence, supply corps or civil engineer 

corps. 

Service Selection 

The career options available to aval Academy graduates are the broadest 

offered by any of the nation's service academies. You can. 
• specialin' 111 surface w11rfare, with assignments in ships ranging from

mine�weepers and hydrofoil patrol gunbo11ts to guided missile cruisers;

• enter the submarine service, with duty in nuclear-powered attack and

ballistic missile submarines,

• fly a variety of aircraft from helicopters and shore-based patrol planes to 

supersonic, aircraft carrier-based jct fighters;

• work with nuclear propulsion systems, powerful computers ,rnd

sophisticated weapons systems 111 locations around the world,

• command infontry, armor, artillery or aviation u111ts as a Milrine Corps

officer; and

• lead the most talented and highly motivated sailors and Marines in the

world, no matter what career path you choose.

You choose your '\lavy or Marine Corps career field al the beginning of the 

second semester of your senior year or about four months before graduation. 

Midshipmen with the highest class standing have first cho1Ce, so options 11nd 

choices of 11ssignment may be affected by class rank as well as by personal and 

physical qualifications. Howe,·er, every attempt is made to grant you the duty 

and location you request.

ship and home port of your first duty assignment. Then, after graduation from 

the academv, you attend a four-month Surface Warfare Officer School in 

Newport, Ri, 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 control 

assistant. In addition, you are expected to work toward qualification as 

combat information center watch officer, officer of the deck and Navy surface 

warfare officer 

Submarine force 

Those choosing the silent ser\'ice begin bv studying Na\'y nuclear propulsion 

after graduation as described on the next page. You then go to '\la\'y 

Submarine School in New London, Conn., for the 10-week submarine officers 

basic course. Your first tour of duty with an attack or fleet ballistic missile 

submarine lasts about 36 months. 

In il nucleilr submarine, junior officers lead didsions of 15 to 20 men. ) ou 

have respon�ibilities in a vital area of operations such as engineering, 

weapons or communications. You also stand watches and work to qualify as 

engineering officer of the watch, di\'ing officer and officer of the deck -- all 

steps towards earning the gold dolphins of a Navy submarine officer. 
uclear propulsion 

The Navy's demanding and h1ghl) technical nuclear po\\'er trai111ng progrnm 

is among the best 111 the world. Those chosen for the program usuallv rank

academy. You then train for six month� at one of se\'eral nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country before reporting to your first 

ship. 

All of the '\avy's submarines are nuclear powered. i\luclear �urface ships 

include guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, and nuclear tramed 

surface warfare officers alternate between these and conventionally powered 

ships as they advance in their careers 

Naval aviation 

Whether it's landmg an F/A-18 Hornet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, 

hunting an enemy submarine in the North Atlantic in a P-3 Orion or

After graduation from the academy, all those choosing aviation report to 

Pensacola, Fla., for Aviation Preflight Indoctrination. Pilot trainees may either 

stav in Pensacola or move to Corpus Christi, Texas, for basic flight training. 

Depending on the type of aircraft/training track chosen after basic, pilots may 

complete advanced training in Pensacola; Corpus Christi; Meridian, Miss.; or 

Beeville, Texas. Naval flight officers (NFOs) complete all of their flight 

traming in Pensacola. They receive their wings of gold after 18-24 months for 

pilots and 12-18 month� for NFOs. They are assigned to their first squadron 

after six to nine months of aircraft and mission specific traming in a fleet 

replacement squadron. 

In addition to flying, naval aviators have significant leadership and 

m;rnagement responsibilities from their very first duty assignment. New 

officers typically are charged \\'ith leading a group of aviation enlisted 

personnel and overseeing various aspects of the squadron's operations, 

adm1111stration, personnel management or aircraft mamtenance. 

Marine Corps 

Up Lo one-sixth of each graduatmg class may elect to be commissioned as 

second lieutenants 111 the \1arine Corps. After graduation from the academy, 

vou attend the Basic School, a 26-wcek. course for officers at Quantico, Va. This 

;chool gt\'es 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. 

Manne Corps career fields mclude those in the two basic categories of ground 

and air. Ground career choices include infantry, armor, artillery, logistics, 

engmeering, data proct>,;sing and communications. Aviation choices include 

pilot, naval flight officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, aviation 

maintenance and aviation supply. 
In their fir�t a'>signments, vlarine Corp� second lieutenants generallv arc 

assigned as platoon commander� with leadership responsibilities for 20 to 25 

enlisted \llannes. You often have a role 111 a Manne air/ground tasl-.. force, 

with vlarine light infantry capable of opposing much more hea\·ilv equipped 

forces. vlcsh111g of air and ground officers in these task forces and mdi\ idual

Special Warfare and Special Operations 

Special Operations, the newest wartare community w<1s approved by the 

Secretary of the '\a\·\ in Jul) 1978, 111 recognition of a need for sustained, 

progressive, cost effective and ready capability in four functional areils: 

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Mine Countermeasures (MCM), 

Operational Diving and S,11\"age (ODS), and Explosive Ordnance Management 

(EOM). Explosive Ordnance and diving provide the common base which 

assures compatibility of the lour functional areas. Special Operations offers 

men and women an exciting career and command opporturnty in a small 

speciali.1:ed community. 

SpeCial Warfare pro\·ides qualified officers the opportunity to be ii member of 

one of the world's elite fighting forces. As a branch of the U.S. Special 

Operatiorn; Forces, 0-a\·y SEALS are known and respected around the world. 

Restricted line and staff corps specialties for men 

vlen who are not physically qualified to serve in the warfare area� but who 

can be commissioned as active duty officers can choose from a wide variety of 

alternatives and pursue a career all the way to the llag officer rank of admiral. 

Restricted line and staff corps officers make careers 111 the fields of intelligence, 

cryptology, oceanography, medicine, ci\·il engineering, supply and aviation 

maintenance. They serve aboard ships, with aircraft squadrons and at shore 

bases around the world Graduating male midshipmen who are accepted to 

medical school may be commissioned 111 the Medical Corps even 1f phvs1callv

Assignments for Women Officers 

As a woman officer 111 the Navy and Marine Corps, many options are open to 

you to serve in assignments vital to our national defense. You may ny planes 

as a pilot or naval night officer, or drive ships as a surface warfare officer. The 

\Javy is now assigning women to combat vessels following the repeal of the 

conduct exclusion law (Section 6015, Title 10, U.S. Code). Following training, 

you would be assigned aboard a variety of Navy ships including destroyers, 

aircraft carriers, dock landing ships, oilers, tenders, training frigates and 

supply ships 111 the Atlantic or Pacific fleets or in aircraft. During the summer 

of 1994, women officers will be able to embark on eight ships, including the 

USS Abraham Lincoln, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, (aircraft carriers) and 

the dock landing ship, USS Comstock. 

Women may also enter restricted line or staff corp specialties such as 

oceanographv, 111telligence, supply or civil engineering if not physically 

qualified for aviation, ships or Marine Corps. 

You also mav choose to enter the Vlarine Corps. Women Marine Corps officers 

can be assigned to all career fields available to male officers, includmg marine 

a\·ialion, except infantry, artillery and am1or.

Organization 

The �m·al Academy is organized much Like a civilian college. A board of 

visitors, similar to a college board of trustees, makes major policy decisions. 

The academy's superintendent, a Navy 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 and 

provost, who oversees the academic program and the faculty, and the 

commandant of midshipmen, a Navy captain who sen·es 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 Naval Acadenn-'s 600-member faculty 1s 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 experience. The officers, who rotate e,·ery two or 

three years, bring fresh experiences and ideas from operational and staff 

assignments in the Navy and Marine Corps. 

The chief of staff is the superintendent's principal assistant for all 

administrative and operallonal matters. The chief of staff, in consort with the 

commandant of midshipman and academic dean and provost, coord111ates 

actinties and events among the vanous departments and divisions at the

The Board of Visitors 

The duty of the academy's Board of Visitors is to inquire into the state of 

morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal 

affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the academy which 

the board decides to consider (Ex. Section 6968, Title 10, U.S. Code). The 

board consists of six presidential appointees, three vice presidential 

appointees, four appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, 

and a member designated by the Armed Services Committee from both the 

Senate and the House. The president of the United States receives a written 

report of the board's findings and recommendations.

Supporting Organizations 

Several private, not-for-profit organizations support the Naval Academy in 

important ways. One of them is the aval Academy Foundation, which 

awards scholarships to prornismg midshipmen candidates (see page 26). 

Others are described below. 

U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The Alumni Association is a non-profit, independent, self-supporting 

corporation of more than 3-!,000 members, 63% of whom are life members. 

All current and former midshipmen are eligible for membership, and any 

person who has demonstrated active support of the aval Academy or the 

Alumni Association may be invited to apply for Associate Membership.

\.1embers have an opportunity to purchase the annual Register Of A/11111111 and 

may enroll in a Group Term Life Insurance program, Group HospitaliLation 

Plan and a Group Investment program. 

Members of the Alumni Association are very active in assisting young men 

and women who are interested in attending the Naval Academy. Alumni 

chapters all over the world sponsor events for candidates and their parents, 

and many alumni serve as Naval Academy Information (Blue and Gold) 

Officers. TI,e Alumni Association helps orgamLe and coordinate parents 

clubs throughout Lhe country and provides speakers who bring current 

events from the academy. 

The Alumni Association has as one of its primary missions the raising of 

private funds in order to help the "-aval Academy meet special needs that 

cannot be met with available appropriated (go,·ernment) funds. Donors 

111clude aval Academy alumni, parents of both midshipmen and graduates, 

corporallons, foundations and friends of the academy. Private support has

Appendix A: Medical Considerations 

The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB) 

in Colorado Springs, Colo., schedules your medical examination and evaluates 

your medical condition very carefully before you can be offered an 

appointment to the Naval Academy. This is to determine whether you have a 

medical condition that might interfere with, or be aggravated by, the 

academy's rigorous program or bar you from unrestricted service as an officer 

in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Major medical considerations are summarized here so that you and your 

physician and dentist can anticipate whether you meet the basic requirements 

for admission to the academy. This is NOT a comprehensive listing of aU 

disqualifying conditions, but rather a brief and general guide for your 

convenience. 

Waivers 

Some medical requirements can be wai\ ed for candidates who otherwise are 

highly qualified. The report of your medical examination is reviewed carefully 

and you receive a written summary of the results. lf you have a disqualifying 

condition but would like us to consider your application further, you may 

request a waiver of the standard by writing to the admissions board at the 

academy. If your 11dmissions record 15 competitive, the board asks DODMERB 

to prepare your medical file for waiver consideration. DODMERB may ask 

you to provide amplifving information on the condition or to undergo 

evaluation by a medical specialist. DODMERB reviews all of the available 

information and may seek independent review and an advisory opinion from 

the staff of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Washington. If your 

condition may be waived, and not all conditions may, your entire record is 

reconsidered by the admissions board. The board grants a waiver if your 

record suggests you have greater potential for success as a midshipman and 

na,·al officer than do competing candidates who are medically qualified. 

Medical history 

DODMERB will review your medical history for mformation on ilJnesses, 

miuncs, surgerv, familial diseases and other factors that could affect your 

physical condition. You might be asked to submit additional reports and/or 

records from physicians or hospitals. Correctable problems, including dental 

defects, should be taken care of before your examination for the Naval 

Academy. 

Eyes and vision 

This 1s the most common problem area for candidates. Our basic requirement 

for admission is normal (20/20) uncorrected visual acuity in each eye. The 

admissions board 11utomatienlly considers waiver of the visual acuity standard 

for candidates who are otherwise medically qualified, \\'ho have exceptional 

scholastic and leadership potential, and who meet the following additional 

requirements: 

• vision corrects to 20/20 in each eye with eyeglasses (not contact lenses);

• refractive error does not exceed 6.00 diopters in any meridian in either

eye;
• astigmatism docs not exceed 1.00 diopters in either eve; and

• the difference tn rcfracti,·e error between the two eyes docs not c":eed

3.'i0 diopters.

Again, if the 011/11 problem ts that your 1111corrected visual acuity is not normal, 

the Admissions Board will automaticallv consider \\'aiver of this standard 

You need nol request this waiver. 

Color perception 11111st be normal. Color ,·ision is retested on Induction Dav. 

Do not undergo radial keratotomy ,f you hope to attend the '\a val Academ) 

Radial keratotom�, kcratomileusts, epikeratophakia, orthokeratologv ,1nd all 

other surgical, laser or mechanical procedures performed to correct visual 

acuity arc disqualifying, and waivers are not considered 

Keratoconus ts disqualtfving, a waiver cannot be constdcred. 

If vou wear glasses or contact lenses, take them with you to your e>--amination. 

If vou wear soft contact lenses, do not use them during the three days 

preceding vour e,amination. Do not use hard or gas-permeable contact lens 

fur 21 davs before vour examination.

Genitourinary system 

Persistence of protein (except documented benign orthostatic proteinuria), 

sugar, or red or white blood cells in the urine is disqualifying, as are 

bed wetting continuing into adolescence and a history of recurrent or bilateral 

kidney stones Severe congenital or developmental anomalies, hormonal 

disorders, neoplastic conditions, persistent or recurrent infections, and certain 

complications of infections arc cause for rejection. An undescended testicle is 

disqualifying, as are pregnancy, endomctnosis and severe dysmenorrhea 

Gastrointestinal system 

I listory of peptic ulcer, gall bladder disease, regional enteritis (Crohn's 

Disease), ulcerative colitis or any other inflammatory bowel disease is 

disqualifying. 

Neuropsychiatric disorders 

Seizure disorders (except febrile convulsions in childhood), degenerative 

conditions, vascular or other kinds of recurrent or severe headaches and 

severe motion sickness susceptibility are disqualifying. History of psychosis or 

affective illness, personality disorder or immaturity, stammering or stuttering, 

eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, learning disorders/disabilities, 

hypcracti\'ity and sleepwalking persisting into adolescence also are 

disqualifying. 

Skin 

Chrome disca5CS such as psoriasis, atop1c dermatitis and eczema are cause for 

rejection. Severe acne 1s disqualifying until successfully treated. If a course of 

Accut11ne is undertal-.en, this should be completed, with documentation of a 

fa,·orable outcome, pnor to 11cceptance. Pilonidal sinus, if evidenced by a 

discharging mass, is cause for rejection unless repaired successfully. 

Other disqualifying conditions 

Some other disqualifying conditions include abdominal wall hernia, until 

repaired; removal of the spleen for most reasons except trauma; anemia; 

abnom1al bleeding states; diabetes mellitus; sickle cell dise11se (sickle cell trait 

and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenasc deficiency are 110/ disqualifying); any 

acti\'C communicable mfection; generalized reaction to stinging insect venom; 

family history of malignant hyperthermia; 11llergy to common foods requiring 

special dietary considerations; drug abuse or alcohol dependence evidenced in 

a urine drug te�l and a breath or blood alcohol test performed at the time of 

your physical examination; and exposure to the virus associated with AIDS 

(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Testing for the presence of AIDS 

virus antibodies is performed in both the initial medical examination and on 

Induction Day at the Naval Academy; a confim1ed positive result in either test 

leads It) disqu11hfication without possibility of a waiver. 

Dental standards 

Except for minor or questionable areas, you should have all required dental 

treatment completed before your medical examination. Missing teeth causing 

reduced masticatory (chewing) or incisal (biting) efficiency must be replaced 

by well-designed bridges or partial dentures in good condition. If you arc 

undergoing active orthodontic treatment which will not be completed prior to 
your cntn into the aval Academy, you may request a wai\·er Do not have 

braces removed prior to completion of trec1tment unless ad\·ised bv the Nc1val 

Academ). 

Oth<'r disqualifying dental conditions include: 

• infections or chronic diseases of the soft tissue ot the oral cavity;

• marked malocclus1on that requires early or prnlongcd treatment, involves 

tissue 1mpmgcmcnt on either the facial or lingual/pal<11al gingiva, or in 

some other wa, Jeopardizes dental health; 

• unsatisfactor\ restorations, bridges, or dentures; 

• severe or extensive apirnl or periodontal infection; 

• perforations Imm the oral cauty into the nasal cavity or maxillary smus; 

and

• tumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be e,pL'Ctcd to require

treatment in the foreseeable future. 

Concluding comments 

As vou will realize from the forcgomg summary, the physical examination for 

admission to the I aval Academy is comprehcnsini, and the medical and 

dental standards arc e,acting. This is necessary bccaw,e our goal is lor every 

midshipman to be able to anticipate unrestricted opportunities for 

commissioned serv1Ce after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

examination process will require no more than a single visit to a physiciun·s 

and a dentist"s office. For others, questions will arise that may necessitate a 

variety of additional evaluations. We know this can become time-consuming 

but we hope you will understand the reason for concern. The questions 

resolve favorably for the majority of candidates, and wai\'er of the standard(s) 

is often possible when documentation of a disqualifying condition in an 

inJi\'idual candidate supports the expectation of unrestricted service (see 

discuss10n on page l "i2). Staff members at OODMERB and in the ,,dmissions 

office will assist m e\'ery way possible.
