Introduction 

United States Naval Academy 

As the undergraduate college of the avy, the Naval Academy prepares 

young men and women to become professional officers in the U.S. Navy and 

Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the 

U.S. Navy. They attend the academy for four years, graduating with bachelor 

of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in the Navy or second 

lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least five 

years as naval officers. 

Around the Yard 

The scenic Naval Academy campus, known as the Yard, is located in historic 

Annapolis, Md., where the Severn River flows into the Chesapeake Bay. With 

its combination of early 20th-century and modem buildings, the Naval 

Academy is a blend of tradition and state-of-the-art technology that typifies 

today's Navy and Marine Corps. Throughout the Yard, tree-shaded 

monuments commemorate the bravery and heroism that are an important part 

of the academy's heritage. Buildings and walkways are named for aval 

Academy graduates who have contributed to naval history and their nation.

The young men and women who come to this magnificent institution are the best 

and brightest this nation has to offer. We lake great pride in our program lo 

prepare them lo be commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It is 

our singularity of purpose that sets us apart from other colleges and universities. 

We concentrate our considerable resources in developmg our midshipmen 

morally, mentally and phystcally. They receive the finest possible education to 

prepare them lo serve their country. 

"At the United States Naval Academy, you become part of an e>-tremely proud 

tradition of excellence that has c,isted for five generations. We pro,·ide the finest 

L>ducational facilities, the most up-lo-date and modem labs and equipment, 

outstanding recreational programs and athletic facilities that are unmatched 

anywhere. This is fundamental to our commitment to excellence. The superb 

qualifications and dedication of our faculty and staff are further evidence of that 

commitment. You will be challenged, yet have the opportunity to perform to your 

full potential 

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

youth ... literally, the future I am proud to report that the United States Naval 

Academy is equal lo lhe challenge.· 

The Naval Academy also is the final resting place of Revolutionary War naval 

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

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

academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the Navy. A National 

Historic Site, the Naval Academy hosts about one million tourists every year 

from all over the Uni led 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 tradittons carried on in midshipmen parades and military formations 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies right 

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

Maryland's slate capital provides a pleasant, diverse setting for one of 

America's premier colleges, the United States Naval Academy. 

H istory 

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

Na,y George Bancroft on 10 acres of old Fort Severn 111 Annapolis. Since then, 

the development of the Naval Academy has reflected the history of the United 

',tales. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, so has the

dn1ly why we are here. 

S<J111di1m·s i11 011r dnili1

I he big pie/ 11 re. " 

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

and steam powered ships to 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 

training they need to be effective 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 yea rs and to train aboard ships each summer. 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. TI1e campus of 

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

a brigade size of 4,300 midshipmen. Modem granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures of Fort Severn and the Naval School. 

Congress authorized the Naval Academy 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 10 to 11 percent of each entering each plebe - or 

freshman -- class, and they pursue the same academic and professional 

training as do their male classmates. 

Mission 

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

mission: "To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically 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 m.ind and character to assume the highest 

responsibilities of command, citizenship and government." This puts everyone 

-- faculty, staff and m.idshipmen - on the same wavelength. It also encourages 

a sense of spirit and pride found at few other schools. 

Program 

The moral, menta l and physical clements of our program are equally 

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

Academics 

Every midshipman's academic program begins with a core curriculum that 

includes courses in engineering, science, mathematics and the humanities. 

This is designed to give you a broad-based education that will qualify you for 

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

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

academic interest. 

For especially capable and highly motivated students, we offer challenging 

honors programs and opportunities to start worls on postgraduate degrees 

while still at the academy. 
Professional and leadership tra ining 

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

vears at the Naval Academv, the life and customs of the naval service become 

;econd nature. First, you l~am to take orders from practically everyone. But, 

before long, vou acquire the responsibility for making decisions that can affect 

hundreds of other midshipmen. Your professional classroom studies are 

bad.ed by many hours of practical experience in leadership and naval 

operations, including assignments with Navy and Marine Corps units during 

summer months. 

Moral education 

I lonor and mtegrity have a long tradition 111 the Navy. When expensive 

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

mistrust among officers. Honor is not something you only read about al the 

academy. Our Honor Concept clearly states that "A midshipman will not lie, 

cheat or steal." Midshipmen are bound to live by that concept. In the 

classroom, on the athletic field and in professional training, you are expected 

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

decisions. 

Physical training 

We teach the importance of be111g physically fil and prepared for stress 

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

strenuous hours in difficult situations. The physical requirements of Plebe 

Summer tr11ining, four years of physical education and year-round athletics 

also develop pnde, teamwork and leadership.

Profile of Midshipmen 

It takes a special kind of young man or woman to handle the Naval 

Academy's demanding program, but that doesn't mean all midshipmen are 

alike. Midshipmen come from all 50 states, U.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 every 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 Naval Academy 

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

are good students, leaders in their high schools and communities and 

interested in athletics. But other common qualities of midshipmen don't show 

up in statistics. The young men and women who choose the Naval Academy 

are looking for more than a college degree. They like the idea of being 

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

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

Midshipmen are also patriots. They want to serve their country in a 

meaningful 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 available at the Naval Academy, as well 

as the exciting possibilities open to them in the Navy and Marine Corps after 

graduation.

Our Commitment 

Setting apart the Naval Academy from almost every other college and 

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

students Some other colleges offer more majors in academ1es. 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 are committed to 

the principle of helping e,·ery midshipman succeed. We back up that 

commitment 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. 

• Im, student-to-faculty ratio Faculty members get to know you personally 

in and out of the classroom. The) 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 academv research lab or at a computer terminal. 

• protected study time. Evening study period is resen·ed from 7 p.m. to 

midnight Sunday through Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with 

their courses Additionally, ",imitz Librarv, computer labs and other 

fac1hties are open for midshipmen use all day and evening, seven days a 

week. 

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

ind1ndual counseling as well as an academic ad,·iser early in plebe year 

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

• leadership and counseling. Your company officer and senior midshipmen 

also guide, mo111tor and evaluate your progress in academics, as well as 

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

Eligibility Requirements for Applying to the U.S. Naval Academy 

You must be: 

• at least 17 years old and not yet 22 years old on July 1 of the 

year of admission; 

• unmarried, not pregnant and have no legal obligation to support a 

child, children or other individual; 

• a United States citizen (except for the limited quotas of international 

midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress); and 

• of good moral character. 

Other Qualifications Necessary for Admission 

You must: 

• be found scholastically qualified by the admissions board; 

• be medically qualified; 

• pass the Naval Academy's Physical Aptitude Examination; and 

• receive an official nomination from one of many sources available 

(see pages 16-21). 

How Lo Become Competitive for Admission 

To improve your chances of qualifying scholastically, your high school 

preparation should include the fol.lowing: 

• mathematics - four years of mathematics courses, including a strong 

foundation m geometry, algebra and trigonometry. Experience in calculus is 

good, but not at the expense of these basic fields. 

• science -- one year of chemistry and one year of physics. 

• English - four years of course work with special attention to the study 

and practice of effective writing. Surveys of English and American 

literature are especially helpful as background for future study of 

literature. 

• modern foreign language -- at least two years. Course work should 

include regular use of the spoken language and encompass elementary 

syntax and grammar. Four years of a single foreign language, if possible, 

would also prove helpful. 

• history - one full year of U.S. history and, where possible, a full year of 

European or world history. 

• introductory computer and typing courses are recommended because all 

midshipmen are required to use personal computers in most of the 

academy's courses. 

To demonstrate your ability to meet the physical and time demands of four 

years al the Naval Academy, you should take part in athletic and non-athletJC 

extracurricular activities. Since every midshipman is involved in physical 

exercise every day at the academy, it is important that you get in good 

physical condition while still in high school. Plebe Summer is not the time to 

try to whip yourself into shape. Since we are also interested in your leadership 

potential, as well as you r ability to man11ge your time, we will look at your 
non-athletic acl1vt11es and recon.1 of part-time employment or militarv service 

lo e\'aluate )'Our versalilit) and ability to accept respons1b1htv And b) all 

mt•ans, sla) awa} from illegal drugs and abuse oi alcohol. 

S teps Towa rd Ga in in g Admission

school and fobruary 28 of your senior year in high school. Since many 

congressmen and senators begm processing nommation requests during the

college or the military sen:1ce if \"llU meet age requirements. In all cases, asJ..

Note: 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 

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

strength, speed and agility. If you are physically fit, the PAE should present 

no problem. Because competition for admission to the academy is stiff a11d 

tl,e nd111issio11s board reviews tire PAE score, you will w ant to do your best. 

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

administered by a teacher or school official with a degree in physical 

education or by a commissioned military officer on active duty. 

Medical Exam and Physical Considerations 

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

and Marine Corps officers must meet certain medical sta11dards, we require all 

candidates for admission to pass a thorough medical exam. These exams are 

scheduled for candidates through the Department of Defense Medical 

Examination Review Board. 

Generally speaking, healthy candidates with normal vision have little 

difficulty passing the exam. However, the exam sometimes identifies 

characteristics or problems that could be aggravated by 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 of 

nomination and applicants should apply to all sources for which they are 

eligible. This normally includes a U.S. representative, hvo U.S. senators and 

the vice president of the United States. See the sample letters on pages 20 and 

21. 

You should apply for a co11gressio11al 110111i11atio11 d11ri11g tl,e spring of your 

j1111ior year i11 /rig/, sclrool, or as soo11 tlrereafter as possible. This is because 

many members of Congress evaluate candidates during the summer months 

and make their decisions in early fall, though the academy accepts 

nominations until the end of January. Applicants for military 

senrice-connected nominations (as described in following paragraphs) should 
apply d1 rl'dly to thl' '\.a\'al Arndl'm\ for a nomination alter July I ol the yl'a r

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 2,200 candidates to reach this stage. Of that number, 

around 1,500 are offered appointments, with about 1,200 accepting and 

becoming midshipmen. 

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

Assurance) are made beginning in October and continue through the 

following spring. Nearly all appointments are offered by May 15. Files not 

completed by March 21 will be closed from further consideration. 

Naval Service Obliga tion 

When you are offered an appointment, 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 

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. midshjpmen on Induction Day: 

"l, ____ _, having been appointed a midshipman in the United 

States Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the 

Constjtution 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 reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will 

well and faith.fully discharge the duties of the office on which lam about to 

enter, so help me God." 
Resig natio ns and Separa tions 

If vou enter the '\Ja\'al \cadi?mv d1rectlv from ci,·ilian life, vou assume a 

mii1tary obligation accordmg to ·the Agr~ement to Sen·e M1dsh1pnwn who

US. Code, Section 6959 I fowevL'r, in pract1CL', thL' followmg policies curwntly 

,1pply to mid,,hipmen who enter the academy from,, ci,·ilian status: 

• if you are discharged, or your resignation is accepted before the first da\ 

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

n,n·a 1 Sl'rvice. 

• 1f you leave the academv after beginning the academic war as a 

SL>cond-cl,1ss midshipman (Jumor) but before the start of tir-.t-class vear, 

you are obhgalL>d to serVL' for two years in an enlisted st,1tus unless vou 

are considerL><l physicall~ disqualified, unfit or unsuited for military 

service. 

• 1f vou ll'ave the academv ,1fter the start of first-cl,1ss henior) academic 

year, you haw a three-ve~r obligation to serve in an enlisted status. 

• if vou refuse a commission upon gradui1t1on, your enlisted serv1ee 

obligation 1s four vears. 

If you enter thL' '\,aval Academy from the regular or resi?rve component of the 

'\;,1\'y or \llarine Corps, includmg the '\aval Academy Preparatorv xhool, the 

ri?mammg pen od of your enlistment or obligated sen·ice is not termmated

that enlistment or service obligation. However, if you are discharged or your 

resignation is accepted after beginning your second-class academk yea r at the 

Naval Academy, you incur the same obligations described above for those 

who enter the academy from civilian life. 

In either case, if you leave the Naval Academy after the sta rt of your 

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

complete the appropriate 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 expenses. 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 period of unserved obligation, ranging up to the entire cost of education. 

Costs and Financial Obligations 

Before entering the Naval Academy, you must deposit 51,500 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 

fou r years as a midshipman. All appointees who request an entrance deposit 

waiver must complete the college scholarship service financial aid form and 

submit the form to the scholarship service address shown on the form 

instructions. 

A $1,500 interest-free loan from the federal government is ad,·a1iced 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 Naval Academy before repaying these and any 

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

separated involuntarily, you must tum in enough uniforms and equipment 

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

your indebtedness, you must pay the difference. 

Reporting for Induction Day 

If you accept an appointment to the Naval Academy, you'll report for 

induction in early July, take the Oath of Office and begin Plebe Summer with 

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

in your life. We will tell you what you need to bring and how to make travel 

arrangements to Annapolis. 

Documentation of Citizenship 

Prior to lnduction Day in July, appointees must have proof of United States 

citizenship on file at the Naval Academy. Certificates must be a notarized 

copy. Any of the following documents are acceptable: 

a. Birth Certificate 

b. Certificate of Citizenship 

c. immigration and Naturalization Certificate 

Name changes must be documented by a court order. Appointees without 

proof of citizenship on file will not be given the oath of office.

Other Considerations 

Appointments of Women 

In 1976 Congress authori7ed women to enter the service academies and 81 

women were admitted with the Naval Academy Class of 1980. Great strides 

have been made since 1976 to fully integrate women into the Brigade of 

Midshipmen. 

About 10 to 11 percent of each entering class are women. Admissions 

standards are the same as those for men, with the exception of some 

allowances made for the physical differences between men and women. The 

number of women admitted each year is based on the needs of the Navy and 

Marine Corps for women officers. Approximately 400 of the 4,300-member 

Brigade of Midshipmen are women. 

The academy offers women the same opportunities to excel it has always 

extended to men: a challenging academic curriculum to promote intellectual 

development; a physical training program to build strength, agility and 

endurance; and a military environment to develop discipline, military skills 

and leadership. 

Previous Candidates 

If you applied before but were not appointed to the Naval 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 

you take college or prep school courses before reapplying, we suggest you 

take courses similar to those required of first-year midshipmen at the Naval 

Academy 

International Students 

In the interest of international and navy-to-navy relations, the Secretary of the 

Navy can authorize students from certain countries to enroll at the Naval 

Academy. Up to 40 of these students may be at the academy at a given time. 

Further information on this program can be obtained from the Nominations 

and Appointments Office at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

MD 21402-5019, telephone 1-301-267-4361.

Life at the 

Naval Acaden1y 

It would be impossible to predict what four years at the lava! Academy 

would be like for you personally, but we can describe our philosophy, 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 into the 

air at graduation will you really know what the I aval Academy experience is 

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

stn.ictured. While there are many ways you can pursue your individual areas 

of interest, a four-year program is required of all midshipmen. In this section, 

we will give you a general description of life at Annapolis. Later chapters give 

you the details of the academic, athletic and professional training programs. 

Definitions 

Let's start with a few basics. On your first day at the academy, you begin 

learmng a whole new vocabulary of nautical and Naval Academy terms. 

Before long, the floor is the deck, the wall is the bulkhead and the restroom is 
the head Likewise, midshipmen seniority is stated in a way different from 

trad1honal college terms. We designate our class ranks this way: 

Freshman = Fourth class or plebe 

Sophomore= Third class or youngster 

Junior= Second class 

Senior= First class or firstie 

All Naval Academy students, men and women. are called midshipmen, 

which is a rank between chief warrant officer and ensign in the avy. A 

m1dsh1pman first-class 1s a senior. The student body is the Brigade of 

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

fleet. The brigade is divided into six battalions. Six companies make up 

each battalion, makmg a total of 36 companies. 17,e midshipmen command 

structure, headed by a first-class midshipman chosen for outstanding 

leadership performance to be brigade commandc·r, is responsible for much 

of the brigade's day-to-day activities as well as the professional training of 

midshipmen. Overseeing all brigade activitie, is the Commandant of 

Midshipmen, an active-duty Navy officer of captain's rank or above. 

Working for the commandant, experienced avy .rnd Marine Corps officers 

are assigned as company and battalion officers. 

Four-Year Summary 

17,e pull-out chart on this page is a diagram showing the highlights of the 

rs.Java! 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 tak, on more responsibility in 

leading underclassmen at Annapolis and acting as a junior officer during 

summer professional training with the fleet. 

Life in the Brigade 

o matter what your background, chances are tl1e living arrangements at 

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

begins with reveille and ends with lights out. You stand watches, march to 

meals and wear uniforms for almost everythin14 you do. You and your 

roommates must keep your room ready for a military inspection a t any

time and keep your uniforms in regulation condition. Demerits are awarded 

for a room or uniform that is not 111 proper order or squared away. 

All midshipmen live in Bancroft Hall, a huge dom1.itory comple.x. You arc 

assigned to a room with one or more midshipmen and live in close proximity 

to about 120 other midshipmen in your company. Men and women 

midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. Each company has 

its own living area, called the wardroom, for meetings and recreation. 

The company is the most important unit of the 4,300-member Brigade of 

Midshipmen. Many of your most rewarding experiences at the Naval 

Academy are those you share with members of your company. You eat, sleep, 

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

to trust and rely on each other. And you pull together to get through rough 

times. The company experience also gives you an idea of how things work in 

the Navy and Marine Corps, where small-unit cohesion, teamwork and 

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

color competition among the 36 companies is one way companv 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, including the honor of representing the Naval Academy at official 

functions such as presidential inaugurations.

Plebe Summer 

J\11 midshipmen begm the four-year program with Plebe Summer, a period 

designed to turn ci\'ilians into midshipmen. Plebe Summer 1s no gentle casing 

mto thl' militarv routine Soon after entering the gate on Induction Day, you 

are put into u111fonn and taught how to sa lute by the first-class midshipmen 

and officers who lead the plebe indoctrination program. For the next se,·en 

,n-eks, vou 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 tcle,·ision, leisure time or mo,·ies. You will have barcl:•.: enough 

hours m the d,1y to finish your assigned plebe tasks. 

The frantic, l'xhaustmg pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. It gets 

you readv for your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer 

trammg and the academic year begms. The summer also builds the ioundahon 

for the tangible and intangible qualities that make ,in outstandmg naval 

officer You learn self-discipline You learn to orga111 e your time and decide 

which thing., are most important. You reach top physical condition. You 

develop your ability to thmk dearly under stress and to react quickly when 

the unexpected come!-> your way. Any officer who has stood the watch on the 

bndge oi a ship in a storm or landed a Jct on the ded.. of an aircraft earner at 

night can tell you the importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer introduces YOU to the basic how-to s of the \,a,·y as well. 

\board \.a,·al Acadcm\ sailboats, vou learn to re.,pcct the power of wmd and 

current. In motor boab and yard patrol craft, YOU learn the basics of 

seamanship, nangation and boat handlmg. On the weapons range, you learn 

how to fire small arms safelv and accurately You also learn whv we have 

high standards of honor, character and mor~litv And, vou begin io de,·elop 

,·our own ideas about leadership and the tech111quc!-> that will make you an 

efiecti,·c leader when your turn comes. 

Academic Yea r 

When the upperdassmen return to the academy m late August to begin the 

academic war, vou begin a rouhne that becomes n~r~ iamiliar during your 

ft>ur ye.irs. A typical wcckdav schedule looks something like this .

When you add to this schedule the time required for military duties, 

inspection preparation and e'\lra academic instruction, you can sec the 

demands on your time are considerable. 

Leadership Responsibility 

As you progress through the years at the academy, leadership responsib11it1cs 

grow Each year, you and your classmates assume more important roles 111 

runn111g your company, your battalion and the brigade. By the time vou arc a 

f1rst-d,1ss midshipman, you arc making da1lv decisions affecting the morale 

and performance of other midshipmen You arc teaching them the 

fundamentals of the naval profession and helping them through difficulties. 

You are leading them through personal example, communications, rewards 

and discipline and other techniques you've learned in the classroom and 

through three years' experience. Your leadership responsibilities also increase 

111 summer professional training. After learning what it's like to be a sailor 

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

officer during your first-class summer assignment. 

You build your leadership skills in these and other settings, where you can 

learn from mistakes and benefit from the guidance of seasoned '-.:an· and 

Manne Corps officers. By the time you take your position as a naval officer 

responsible for leading talented sailors and marines, you know what 

leadership techniques and styles work best for you in different situattons. 

Religious Activities 

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

Yard al the \.aval Academv and, in a sense, sen·es as a symbol of Annapolis 

to the outside world. This 1s more than a co111cidence. Over the decades of our 

histon, fighting Americans have learned by experience that there 1s a 

d1mens1on lo military leadership -- both in and out of combat - that 1s 

essential lo real effectiveness. This 1s the spinlual factor, the intangible quality 

we call moral courage. 

Protestant, C.itholic and Jewish services, in both traditional and contcmporar1 

form, arc held each week al the academy. Midshipmen also may Mtend any of 

the churches in the community While attendance at religious services is 

optional, midshipmen arc reminded that as officers of the naval service their 

personal beliefs will often be tested and that in time of stress their 

subordinates will look to them for spiritual as well as professional guidance. 

The '\.aval Academy has long believed that future officers owe it to 

themselves and to those they will lead to gain insights into moral, ethical and 

spiritual dimensions of military leadership. Midshipman arc encouraged to 

take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral development at 

the academv From the first day of Plebe Summer until the da1 of 

comm1ss1oning four vears later, the academv·s staff of six chaplains serves and 

min1stt•rs to the needs of the Brigade of M1dsh1pmcn. Among other th111gs, 

thev provide personal counseling ranging from faith-centered issues through 

cnst·s of life and death to future marriage plans. 

In C'\t'msing a ministry of "presence" throughout the daily life of the brigade, 

chaplains sponsor and participate 111 Bible studies, prayer groups and 

111struchon classes; ns1t in company areas and are in\'oh-ed in a host of other

brigade activities -- all of which are designed to share and build lasting 

spiritual resources and to cultivate the strength and inspi.ration which comes 

from a deeply personal relationship with God. 

Recreation 

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

many clubs and extracurricular activities. For plebes especially, these activities 

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

plebe year, your free time 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 are many cultural, social and sports 

activities sponsored by the academy. 

Spectator sports 

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

brigade. All midshipmen attend home games in Navy-Marine 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 

traditional A.rmy-Navy game. There are 32 other varsity Navy teams to cheer 

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

supporters for almost every rivalry from wrestling and swimming to lacrosse, 

basketball, soccer and baseball. 
Plebe Sponsor Program 

During Plebe Summer, every midshipman is introduced to an Annapolis-area 

family that has volunteered to host midshipmen for dinners, local sightseeing, 

recreahon and simple rela,ation away from the demands of the Yard. Many 

sponsor relationships last long beyond the academy yeilrs.

The Brigade Acl!nt1es Committee plans se,·eral special weekends during the

Cultural Affaiis Program 

We take advantage of our proximity to Washington, D.C., 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 aie 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 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 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 a nd 

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

shows and festivals mixing midshipmen and local citizens 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 a re 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 

Natur11l History, American Art, American History and Air and Space. There 

arc hundreds of other attract10ns 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 teams including the Redskins in football, the Bullets in basketball and 

the Capit.ils 111 ice hockey.

Midshipmen Pay and Benefits 

The Navy pays 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. In addition, all midshipmen are paid 

$543.90 monthly. Part of this goes to defray the cost of uniforms, books and 

professional equipment. 

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 

summer vacations (leave) plus shorter periods of time off (liberty). Free time 

to 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: 
~ - --- ~ •~ ·•- ••- ••••..,•••• .. ••••••ct ••• · ••••l l•••1 .. t1,,11,~n,,1 tu lt o~11n l\ol,!nl to, H o l m 1 i.,n .. ,u .. ,,o,- ,. • ...,..:....~.:.:.. ........ , 

• Thanksgiving leave 

• a Christmas vacation at the end of the fall semester. 

• mid-term leave during spring semester. 

• Easter leave 

• a short break at the end of spring semester and before Commissioning 

Week 

• a month-long summer vacation for all but new plebes, staggered 

according to the summer's professional training schedu.le. 

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

categories: town liberty and weekend liberty. Weekend liberty permits you to 

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. 

Generally, 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 da te on at lea~t four weekends during the year and 

throughout Commissioning Week. Special weekend liberty may be 

granted on special occasions. 

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

eight a semester for second-classmen.

45 
46 

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

afternoon, and every afternoon after classes. They also have unlimited 

weekend liberty, except when assigned military watches. 

Motor Vehicles 

Restrictions apply to your use of motor vehicles as a midshipman. This is 

necessary 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 

private vehicle. These are the current rules: 

• As a plebe you are not permitted to operate motor vehicles except when 

authorized leave, such as during Christmas vacation. 

• Third-class midshipmen may have a car but must maintain and operate it 

beyond the town liberty limits. 

• Second-class midshipmen may have a car but must maintain and operate 

it at least two miles beyond academy grounds. 

• First-class midshipmen may drive a car in Annapolis and on board the 

Naval Academy and may park at the academy. 

• No midshipman is allowed to maintain or operate a motorcycle within 

town liberty limits. 

Alcohol a nd Drugs 

As a future naval officer, you learn at the Naval Academy to drink in a 

responsible way, if at all, and to shun illegal drugs entirely. Normally, plebes 

are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages except when on leave away 

from the academy. As an upperclass midshipman, you may drink if you a re 

the minimum legal age for drinking in the state, 21 in Maryland. The use of 

illegal drugs is strictly forbidden and results in expulsion from the academy. 

As a midshipman, you are subject to random drug testing through urinalysis, 

consistent with Navy-wide policies and procedures. 

Services 

Almost everything you need as a midshipman is available on the academy 

grounds. There's a bookstore, uniform and tailor shop, cobbler shop, snack 

bar, barber shops, post office, recreation rooms and bowling alley. We also 

provide the following services: 

Dining 

The entire brigade eats at one time in a massive dining area or wardroom, 

King Hall. Companies sit together and food is served family-style for 

breakfast and lunch. Evening meal is a buffet with salad bar. The typical daily 

diet adds up to about 4,500 calories and includes such dishes as steak, 

home-baked pastries, homemade ice cream, spiced shrimp, steamed 

Chesapeake crabs and Mexican cuisine. All of the food for the 15,000 meals 

served daily is prepared by our food service staff in the kitchens adjacent to 

King Hall. 

Medical and Dental Care 

Modern facilities for medical and dental treatment are located in Bancroft 

Hall. Besides routine medical treatment and comprehensive dental care, 

orthopedics/sports medicine, podiatry, physical therapy and optometry 

services arc available. Specialists in internal medicine/cardiology, 

dermatology and allergies provide ca re during scheduled visits to the 

academy. Consultation and treatment in virtually all major medical and 
surgical specialties is ilVailable at the Nilval Hospital, Bethesda, \lld. 

M1dsh1pmen requiring more definitive inpatient care are normally transported 

to the Naval Hospital, Bethesda. Exceptions to this arc hospitalizations for 

orthopedic procedures and for emergenc} conditions, which are usually 

arranged at Anne Arundel General l lospital, a fully accredited civilian facility 

in Annapolis. 

Counseling Services 

Psychological services are provided 111 the Academic Center for Counseling 

and Advising. The center is staffed by psychologists who can help with 

ad1ustment, interpersonal and stress-related problems. Progams for Adult 

Children of Alcoholics, alcohol education and Adults Molested as Children 

also a re available through the center. 

Legal Assistance 

The Office of Legal Counsel is available to assist midshipmen with personal 

and military legal questions. 

Financial Advice 

Regular seminars offer information on savings, loans, insurance programs and 

estate plannmg. Individual financial counseling is available from a Navy 

supply corps officer who serves as midshipmen financial advisor.

Academic and 

Professional Education 

To prepare midshipmen as na\'al officers, the :-..a,·al Acadcm, s curriculum 

blends profcss1onal sub1ech with required and elective courses similar to 

those offered ,1t leadmg ci\'ilian colleges. Our curriculum has three basic

D egree 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 

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

completed special honors programs in selected majors graduate with honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

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

students by a highly qualified faculty who are strongly committed to teaching. 

You won't get lost in the classroom at the Naval Academy. Classes are small, 

generally ranging in size from 10 to 22 students. Even the core courses 

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

attention from your instructor. 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 undergraduates in 

labs or discussion sections is delegated to graduate assistants. All courses at 

the Naval Academy are taught by faculty members, not by graduate 

assisla nts.

··1 believe that a good leader is an informed leader, and an informed leader 1s an 

educated leader. Midshipmen are given the opportunity to get an academic education 

and to get an educatton about proper conduct, military performance, honor and 

phy,ical fitness. That is what distinguishes the Naval Academy from other civilian 

universities - the opportunity for the highest-quality, comprehensive college 

education. 

The academic program at the academy provides the opportunity for midshipmen to 

develop self-discipline, self-confidence and conceptual knowledge. Our core 

curriculum combines an incredible balance between technical and non-technical 

sub1ccts and gets national acclaim for its breadth and its depth The knowledge base 

offered by the Naval Academy will give our students many immeasurable attributes of 

character, the most important of which mclude self-confidence, the ability to make 

informed d~c1sions, and to be 1..nowledgeable and compassionate leaders in the "-lavy 

and Manne Corps. 

'1 ligh standards are the hallmark of this academy. We strive to develop a love for 

leammg, a thirst for knowk>dge and a foundation for imagination. Education is a 

never-endrng process - no one is ever completely educated; there 1s always more to 

lc,1m I believe the !\aval Academy is the best place to start on that long Journey of 

learning.'

Faculty 

Our 650-mcmber faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in 

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

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 

assignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from operational units and 

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

academy are applied in 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 of them are 

involved in scholarly research and writing, thei.r first priority always is 

teaching. 

Academic Advising 

Midshipmen receive as much help as they need in planning their curriculum. 

The academic advising system consists of two stages. During Plebe Summer 

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

civilian, to act as their adviser. Each plebe receives academic counseling 

including basic study skills information prior to the commencement of the 

academic year. Advising continues throughout the year as often as necessary. 

When a major is selected in the spring of plebe yea r, midshipmen are assigned 

a pem1anent faculty adviser from the academic department of that major. 

Professors and company officers are also extremely helpful in providing 

academic counseling and advice to midshipmen. 

Core Curriculum 

In four years at the Naval Academy, you are required to take certain core 

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

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

you for advanced professional training and postgraduate education, which are 

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

natural sciences, 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 freshman year, all courses are required. These form the 

foundation for the more advanced courses chosen by upperdass midshipmen. 

Some core requirements in the upperdass years have alternative courses from 

which to choose, depending on your academic backgrou11d, abilities and 

major. 

The typical academic schedule for plebes includes five or six academic courses 

in each of two semesters: 

Plebe Year First Semester --17 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. 
• Chemistry - Including laboratories. 

• Fundamentals of Computing. 

• U.S. Government and Constitutional Development. 

• Leadership 1-Introduction to military leadership principles. 

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

writing course to prepare for this class. 

Plebe Yea r Second Semester - 18 credit hours 

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

• Chemistry- Continuation of the first-semester course. 

• American aval Heritage. 

• Fundamentals of Naval Science. 

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Literature II. 

Advanced Placement 

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

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

academic ckpartments sets its own validation standards and considers one or 

more of the following: 

• transcripts. 

• department validation tests, administcn:>d at the Naval Academy 

• College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Achievement and 

Ad\'anced Placement tests.

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

sub1ect, take care of another cumculum 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 vears in residence at the '\a\'al Academv to 

complete professional courses and training. 

\llidshipmen who take advantage of validation in their early ~-ears may 

pursue mdependcnt research, honors programs or master·s degree studies in 

their fourth year at the academv, if thev qualify for admission to these special 

programs. 

Majors Program 

The '-Java! Academv is, fundamentalh-, an engineering school, and 1t is 

expected that the ma1ority of graduates will be engineers or techmcal majors. 

For those exceptional students with umque backgrounds, overriding interests 

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

non-techmcal sCll'nn•s and humanities that can be reasonabh· related to the 

n,wal profession is offered. · 

'-ear the end of plebe vear, you choose a ma1or course of study with the aid 

and support of academic and military ad,·isers. A total of 18 ma1ors are 

offered

with the Navy Space Command and NASA. 

Minors in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese are 

offered to those who began to study any of these languages before coming to 

the academy or who complete requirements while at the academy. 

Special Academic Opportunities 

Outstand111g students at the Naval Academy have many opportunities to 

challenge and advance themselves through several special programs. 

Trident 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 Lime 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 

Techniques." 

Honors Program 

Midshipmen with excellent academic and leadership performance can apply 

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

mathematics, oceanography 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. 

Volunta ry G raduate Education Program (VGEP) 

Midshipmen who have completed academy course requirements early 

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

All n11<.lshipmen are required to purchase a personal desk-top computer 

during Plebe Summer After introductory training, the personal computers are 

used for a variety of courses and other purposes over the four-year program. 

Paid for through deductions from midshipmen pay, the computer becomes 

the personal property of each midshipman and is his or hers to keep, upon 

graduation 

Through the use of the recently instaUed Naval Academy Data Network, 

midshipmen can use their personal computers to link into other computers 

throughout lhc academy, as well as to outside educational and commercial 

information sources. Through the use of electronic mail, midshipmen can use 

their personal computers to communicate with other midshipmen, faculty and 

parents. 

Writing Cente r

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

gunnery exercises and drills, and standing watches underway. This experience 

gives you first-hand knowledge of the daily routine of a Navy 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 initial four weeks aboard a ship or sub, you will choose an 

additional four weeks of train111g from a constantly expanding list which 

includes instruction 111 handling yard patrol (YP) craft or sailboats, airborne or 

other rigorous warfare training, summer school, or additional shipboard 

e:-.pcnencc on an extended surface cruise. 

Second-Class Summer 

During the summl'r before your second-class year, you arc introduced to 

<'Very ma1or branch of the \lavy and Marine Corps. Many midshipmen 

wnsider second-class summer the most helpful experience in mak111g 

decisions about what service and branch to enter after graduation. They also 

sav II 1s the most enjoyable of the professional training experiences. 

In one action-packed summer, you ny Navy aircraft at Pensacola, go on patrol 

with the Mannes at Quantico and dive in a nuclear powered submarine off the 

wa~t of Florida. You also spend four weeks in Annapolis studymg public 

speaking, the law of am,ed conflict and the strategy, tactics and naval forces of 

the L 5. and the Soviet U111on. Computer w11r-gaming introduces you to the 

rnmple,it1es of tact1c11l plannang and the capabilities of the U.S. and Soviet

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 dctermrne your priority in service selection and seniority upon 

graduation and commissioning. 

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

equivalents, or QPE: 

A = 4.0 (Excellence) 

B =3.0 

C=2.0 

D = 1.0 

F = 0.0 (Failing) 

Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called the quality 

pomt rating or QPR. Your QPR is 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 proba tion or dismissal. As required by law, the academic board 

interviews academically deficient midshipmen. Midshipmen subject to 

academic discharge are those who fail two or more courses; have a semester 

QPR below 15; 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 

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

standing. Satisfactory performance in professional areas is required. 

Academic Recognition 

TI1ree honor categories recognize midshipmen with outstanding academic and 

professional records: 

Superintendent's I 1st - 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 Bin 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 

B m military performance and conduct, and C in physical education. 

Honor Societies 

A nw11ber of national scholastic honor societies are represented at the Naval 

Academy Midshipmen who excel academically may be recommended for 

membership in these societies:

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

academic degree:, besides the Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) 

discussed on page 53. Most officers are automatically considered for graduate 

school as they complete their first duty assignment. If selected, they c.in enter 

master's degree programs al the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, 

Calif., or al an approved civilian university. 

Midshipmen with outstanding academic records can compete for a number of 

scholarships for postgraduate school right after graduation from the Naval 

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 

anti commissioning. 

Among the graduate education programs available are these: 

Navy Burke Program Uunior Line 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 Naval Postgraduate 

School, begin after one operational tour of two to four years. 

Marine Corps Burke Program - 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. 

Oceanography Joint Master's Degree Program - one midshipman from each 

Naval Academy graduating class may be selected for a graduate program in 

oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole 

Oceanographic Institution. This 27-month program leads to a master of science 

degree in oceanography and a Navy warfare specialty designation in 

oceanography. 

Olmsted Foundation Scholarships -- established by the George and Carol 

Olmsted Foundation in cooperation with the Department of Defense, these 

scholarships support two years of graduate education at foreign universities, 

using foreign languages, for Navy and Marine Corps officers. Two Naval 

Academy graduates who have served between two and seven years of active 

duty are eligible each year. 

William H.G. FitzGerald Scholarship -- supports two years of graduate study 

at Oxford University in England for one aval Academy g-raduate each year. 

Thomas Pownall Scholarship - supports two years of graduate study at 

Cambridge University in England for one Naval Academy graduate each year. 

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

abroad by midshipmen and newly commissioned Naval Academy graduates. 

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

Naval Academy graduates may qualify for a number of other scholarships and 

fellowships awarded for study at civilian colleges and wtiversities. These 

graduate studies can be pursued in various fields while graduates receive pay 

as commissioned Navy and Marine Corps officers. Up to 10 members of each 
class can beg111 postgraduate sh.1dies under these scholarships immediately 

after graduating from the Naval Academy. Such scholarships include: 

Rhodes and \forshall Scholarships for two or three years of graduate study in 

anv field leading to a master of arts or master of philosophy degree -- at 

O,ford for the Rhodes Scholarship or at any u111versity in Great Britain for the 

Marshall Scholarship -- with all expenses provided for study and travel. Thirty 

midshipmen have been selected lo be RJ1odes Scholars since 1930, when Navy 

participation began There have been five Marshall Scholars from the Naval 

Academy since 1981. 

Truman Scholarship for graduate study in any ma1or, with emphasis on public 

service. Up to four midshipmen are nominated during their junior year. 

Guggenheim Fellowship (Danje] and Florence Guggenheim Foundation) for 

graduate study al one of three maJor centers for research and development in 

rocket propulsion, space flight and space flight structures. 

11t,rtz Fcllowslup (Fannie and John ert✓ Foundation) for graduate study in 

the applied physical sciences at a choice of 20 universities. 

'\Jational Science Foundation (NSF) Fellowship leading lo a master of science 

or master of arts degree in the mathematical, phvsical, biological, engineering, 

and social sciences and in the history and philosophy of science 

Draper Laboratory Fellowships for graduate study in technical majors at 

1'vlassachusetts Institute of Technology 

Other scholarships in marine eng111eering, mechanical engineering, naval 

architecture, nuclear engineering, ocean acoustics, oceanography and other areas.

Department of Electrical Engineering 

Electrical Engineering Major 

The electrical engineering department offers one of the cornerstone disciplines that will shape 

the Na,·v well 111to the future. The major offers a solid grounding in the fundamental concepts of 

electrical engineering as well as the opportunity to specialize in digital computer systems, 

communication systems, microwave systems and solid state design. The Navy needs engineers 

trained in these concepts to lead in the development of the lntegrated Electric Drive System for 

ships and microelectronics, the foundation of all future electronic systems. The electrical 

engineering major is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 

with a bachelor of science degree in electncal engineering awarded. 

The student actively pursues application of classroom concepts in the laboratory The 

department has extensive laboratories in fiber optics, microwave theory with radar applications, 

design and development of sol.id slate devices (transistors), digital and analog communications, 

integralton of digital hardware and software, energy conversion and electrical engineering 

design. 11,e electrical engineering department is constantly updating all laboratories with 

leading edge technology. 

Two midshipmen per year rccei\'e the Steinmetz Prize for innovative work in the electrical 

engineering design laboratory The Captain Boyd R. Alexander Prize in electrical engineenng is 

presented during Commissionmg Week to the outstanding graduate of the electrical 

engineering major 

In addition to being well prepared for entry many job in the naval service, graduates of the 

electrical engmeenng major are well prepared lo undertake ad,·anced degrees at the Naval 

Postgraduate School or any other academic institution.

Mechanical Engineering Major 

The mechanical engineering major, accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of 

the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, offers one of the most diversified 

engineering programs available at the Naval Academy. Students acquire a sound and balanced 

background in engineering fundamentals, science, mathematics and the humanities, while 

gaining theoretical and practical knowledge over the full spectrum of engineering applications. 

Elechves allow studv of advanced concepts. Additional opportunities for development as an 

engineer are offered through student chapters of engineering societies. 

Mechanical engineering majors study under civilian and milita'} instructors of varied 

backgrounds and wide professional experience. Laboratories in materials science, process 

control, solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, and in other interdisciplinary 

fields, pro,·ide support. These include some of the finest undergraduate engineering facilities in 

Lhe country. Graduates are awarded a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering and 

have a solid base for future graduate studies in engineering and for professional registration. 

A Navy or Marine Corps officer with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering is well 

equipped for a wide variety of career assignments both ashore and afloat. Operational sea billets 

in surface ships, submarines and aircraft squadrons provide many opportunities for a 

mechanical engineer to develop practical experience in a warfare or engineenng specialty area 

while contributing to fleet engineering and material readiness. The operational environment 

enables a junior officer to rapidly develop sound leadership and managerial abilities while 

refining mechanical engineering capabilities acquired at the a val Academ}' 

Ashore, the m~chanical engineer has a wide range of opportunities in subspecialty billets with 

naval applications. These include such areas as ship and aircraft design, propulsion svstems, 

environmental systems, advanced engineering education, major project management and 

weapons systems acquisition. Just as there is an abundant and continuing need for mechanical 

engineers throughout today's naval service, there is also great potenllal for a satisfving, 

rewarding and productive career.

Naval Architecture Major 

The naval architecture ma1or is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accredttahon Board for Engineering and Technology The major is unlike most cngincenng 

disciplines that are unified by the nature of the phenomena involved. This major originally 

came into being as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination 

of knowledge and experience is needed lo develop, design, and build this single product. 

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

also m the types of craft involved - from sailboats lo aircraft carriers, hydrofoil boats to 

catamarans, and submarines to surface-effect vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engineering in designmg ships. Armed with ,maginalion and 

experience, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective design. They 

analyze and select the best dimensions and hull fom1, calculate the power requirements, and 

estimate the weights of the principal components. They design and analyze the hull structure 

and decide on the location of military sub-systems, machinery spaces, accommodations, and 

stores. Add1honaUy, the ship must be divided into watertight compartments so that, if 

damaged, the chances of survival are maximized. Weighing and compromising all such 

conmcting needs in lhe design of the ship are the creative and challenging responsibilities of the 

naval architect. 

'\iaval architecture at the Naval Academy approaches these topics in a fullv 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 

stabilttv tank are some of the many facilities a\'ailable to midshipmen majoring in naval 

architecture. A dist1ngu1shed and innovative faculty complement these outstanding facilillcs 

and contribute to making this one of the finest undergraduate majors available in its field. A 

bachelor of sc,ence in naval architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

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

have pro, 1ded us with a basic knowledge of the ocean enviroiunent; 11 is up to the ocean 

engmecr to apply modern engmeering pnnciples in order to enable us to work in and utili2e this 

environment more effechvelv. By blending the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, materials 

science and oceanography with the basic elements of civil, mechanical and electrical 

engineering, the ocean engineer is able to apply thtS 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 accred ited by the Engineering Accreditation C<lmmission of the 

Accrcd1tahon Board for Engmeermg and Technolog). The major offers an integrated program of 

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

Mathematics Major 

The ma1or in mathematics gives students the opportunity to acquire a sound mathematical 

foundalton and lo develop facility m applying mathematical concepts and techniques. The 

program penmls concentration in mathematics, operations analysis or scientific computing. A 

bachelor of science degree tn mathematics 1s awarded. An honors program with a designated 

honors degree is available for selected students. 

A solid background m mathematics facilitates postgraduate spec1ahzation in many technical 

areas, 111cludmg nuclear power Mathematics pro,·1des I.he broad foundation for the 

de,·elopment of analytical skills re<1uired to work with and develop new technology 

The mathematics department 1s the largest academic department at lhe Naval Academy. Each 

sl'mcstcr about two-thirds of all midshipmen take one or more courses in mathematics. Courses 

arc taught 111 sections with 20-22 students in lower level courses and 15-18 students in upper 

levd courses. Because of the d<'partment's size, there is a wide variety of elective courses to 

s.1tish 111dl\·idual interests or major requirements.

Department of Chemistry 

Chemistry Major 

The chemistry major al the Naval Academy provides midshipmen with training m all of the 

disciplme's lrad,tional fields, leading to a bachelor of science degree certified by the American 

Chemical Socictv 

AU chemistry majors take required courses in organic, inorganic, an,1lyt1cal and phy,1cal 

chemistry. In addition to the required courses, nudshipmcn may take ad\'anced cour;es in each 

of these subject areas. lnd1\idual laboratorv research projects enable mid,hipmen to mvestigate 

topics of particular interest to them under the guidance of a faculty member 

Ch.,mistry is an expcrunenlal science and many hours are de\'otcd to laboratory work. The 
chl•mistry department at the '\lava! Academy has one of the finest undergraduate laboratories in 

the nation, with modern spaces and a wide array of instrumentation. Skilled technicians 

ma111ta111 the laboratones, assist the fan1lt) and help midshipmen solve prnclical problems m 

the labs. 

Faculty ha, ea wealth of experience, not onlv 111 tht•ir academic understand mg of chemistry but 

also 111 lhe pracllcal application of chemistry 111 the Na,-y and Marine Corps. Chcmistrv maiors 

will find that their c1nlian and military instructors can make the study of chemistry a highlight 

of lht•ir lcarnmg experience at the Naval Academ) 

n,c chemistry major gives midshipmen a solid background in scientific principles required for 

most of the techmcal disciplines in which they will work as naval officers. It also prondes an 

excellent academic baw for graduate studies in such diverse fields as oceanography, operations 

research, management and engineering. 

Th~ ability lo approach problems from a scientific viewpoint has enabled Naval Academy 

graduates with a major m chemistry lo have particularly disllnguished records of performance 

in the Na,-y"s nuclear power training program, in academic phases of night traming and in 

surface warfare specialties. 

Chcm1slrv-related problems are found in many aspects of the '\Ja, y's operallons, including: 

• problems mvolvmg the handling, storage and quality-control of fuels and propellants which 

are lound ll1 all warfare communilles; 

• the den,lopment and applicallon of protective coahng materials which concern all weapons 

plalfom1s, from nuclear-powered fast allack submannes to F-1-ls; 

• the protection of sh1ps hulls, high pressure boilers, exotic alloys on l11gh perfonnance 

a1rcrafl and sensillve eleclromc components from corrosion; and 

• environmental quality control, whether the problem is a submarine's atmosphere or the 

monitoring of stack gas emissions for acceptable po!Jutant levels. 

Wori- in these areas 1s not restncted lo research and development. Wherever an officer is in the 

1\/avy, and whatever the duties, an officer with a sound scienllfic background will be in an 

excellent posihon lo analyze and find solutions to his or her command's particular problems. 

Equally 1mporlanl, as a division officer or department head, a naval officer is a teacher to whom 

othen. look not only for leadership but also for techmcal knowledge. The solid scientific 

background devdoped al the academy as a chemistry major provides graduates with basic 

technical knowledge which not only ,,·ill be recognized by their subordinates, but also proves a 

lasting value lo them throughout their vears as an officer.

Department of Physics 

Physics Major 

The major program in physics presents fundamental physical concepts and principles in such a 

wav as lo emphasize their general usefulness and lays a strong foundation for further work in a 

broad range of technical fields. The challenge of physics lies in uniting its laws and definitions, 

expressed through algebra, trigonometry and calculus, with the integrative reasoning so 

essential in solving new problems. A bachelor of science degree is awarded. 

Some of the topics treated 111 the sequence of courses are the origin, propagation and reception 

of waves of all kinds; field concepts; theory of relativity; basic theory of quantum mechanics, 

and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of developing an open-minded and 

creallve approach lo the physical world - an approach increasingly important to those who will 

be leaders in the modem Navy. The physics major is particularly suitable for those midshipmen 

entering the nuclear power program, but many recent physics majors have opted for Navy air, 

surface line and Marine Corps as well. Advanced degrees a re ava,lable to qualified physics 

majors prior lo graduation, immediately after gradual ion and later in their careers. 

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

facilities m acoustics, nuclear physics, laser optics and solid stale physics. There are also four 

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

electronics shops. Ma1or instniments include a Van de Graaff accelerator, a 16-inch 

Cassegrarnian reflecting telescope, an anechoic chamber, electron spin resonance and nuclear 

magnetic resonance facilities, hjgh resolution spectographs, a helium dilution refrigerator and 

sixty computer;, for student Lise in data collection and processing.

Athletics 

Just as the 'ia\·al Academv mamtams a responsibility for the professional and 

mtellectual dewlopment ol midshipmen, so also must it fulfill 1t-. 

respons1bilit~ for each mithh1pman's physical de\·elopment. This is met 

through an mtercolleg1ate sports program that is one of the broadest in the 

nation - 23 men's and 10 women's \'ars1tv teams - and an equal!\· amb1t10us 

intr,1mural program All midshipmen arc required to partinpate in these 

programs, either at the \'ars1ty or intramural le\·el

Sugar, Collon, Orange, Holiday, Garden State and Liberty Bowls, and Navy's 

rivalry with Army is on a par with the World Series and Kentucky Derby. 

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

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

heavyweight crew has won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy (for overall learn 

performance) at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships four 

limes in recent years, including 1990. And Navy's women's crew captured the 

Seillz Trophy at the Dad Vail Regatta for the fourth consecutive year in 1990. 

In addition to the medal-winrung crews, Navy athletes over the years have 

been frequent medal winners in the Olympics. Lloyd Keaser, a 1972 graduate, 

won a Silver Medal in wrestling in the 1976 Olympics and David Robinson 

earned a Bronze medal in men's basketball at the 1988 games, one of five 

Naval Academy graduates competing at Seoul. 

Navy's pistol learn has dominated the collegiate world in recent years, 

winning national titles in 15 of the past 16 years. And midshipmen teams in 

men's basketball, men's cross country, women's cross country, men's fencing, 

lacrosse, rifle, soccer, women's swimming, water polo and women's volleyball 

have all earned berths in NCAA championship competition in the past five 

years. 

The Naval Academy's sailing team provides midshipmen with opportunities 

lo develop leadership and seamanship skills through competition in 

numerous intercollegiate and private regattas. Competition ranges from 

single-handed Lasers to SO-foot ocean racers with a crew of 14. The academy 

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

Kennedy Memorial Regatta.

"At the Naval Academy, the athletic program is not just an extracurricular acthity, it 

is part of the mission and as such receives a priority much different than at a civilian 

school. I tlunk athletic teams are an 111tegral part of the overall education of a total 

person. Athletics can provide leadership opportunities and the e,periences of team 

play, cooperative effort, commitment and individual sacrifice for goals that some 

may or may not be able to achieve. Athletics are a big part of even· midsh1pman·s 

life at the Naval Academr. 

"In our program everyone has a wide variety of athletic choices as well as the 

required physical education curriculum. The primary goal of the physical education 

curriculum is fitness, which is so vital for health, personal appearance and 

well-being. 

"We hope lo interest and insure profi,iency 111 what we call ·carry-over· spurts that 

our young men and women can enjoy for a lifetime, such as tennis, golf, squash, 

handball and swimming. Herc al the Naval Academy we have e,cellenl facilities for 

all midshipmen to gain the necessary skill levels for future enjoyment.'

Intramura l Sp orts Program 

An equally exciting intramural sports program is organized by the Naval 

Academy for other midshipmen student-athletes. Competition at the 

intramural level is spirited and sometimes intense and allows all midshipmen 

to compete at a level appropriate to their individual athletic ability. Women 

may participate in all but football, fieldball, lacrosse, boxing, rugby and 

wrestling. Company and battalion teams compete in a variety of sports 

including: 

Basketball

Athletic Facilities 

In looking around the academy, you can easily determine the importance 

attached to athletics and physical conditioning. The facilities for 

intercollegiate and intramural sports, physical education and personal 

fitness are unsurpassed and not reserved for just a few athletes. All 

midshipmen ha\'e access to these facilities, for team sports or individual 

workouts: 

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

• Le1eune I !all, built in 1982, containing an Olympic-si.:ed pool with 

seating for 1,000; a di,·ing platform and tank; 600-seat wrestling arena 

and personal conditioning areas; 

• a 400-meter synthetic-surfaced outdoor track; 

• Macdonough Hall, recently renovated, with facilities for gymnastics, 

boxing, volleyball, fencing, swimm111g, water polo, racquetball, 

basketball and personal conditioning; 

• Halsey Field I louse, surfaced throughout with Tartan, including a 

220-yard track, basketball courts and weight-training facilities; 

• an all-weather synthetic-surfaced field for football, lacrosse and soccer; 

• 111door ice rink for hockey and recreational skating; 

• a 5,000-seat baseball field, and 

• a challeng111g 6,217-yard golf course. 

In addition, the newly-constructed Alumni Hall will be open for athletic 

contests, concerts and convocations. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Assoc1at1on, a non-profit organizalton with headquarters 111 Ricketts Hall at 

the Naq1l Academy. The association arranges varsity schedules and 

provides coach111g staffs and equipment.

Surface Warfare 

Surface warfare officers serve in every type of surface ship in the l\.avy. v\fhen 

you select surface warfare, you have the opportunity to choose the type of 

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

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

Newport, R.l., or Coronado, Calif., before reporting to your ship. Your first 

tour of duty lasts about 30 months. 

A new ensign typically serves as a division officer, with responsibilihes for 

leading 12 to 50 enlisted personnel and directing a portion of the ship's 

equipment and operations. Typical positions include those of anh-submarine 

warfare officer, gunnery officer, communications officer and damage control 

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

combat infom1ation center watch officer, officer of the deck, and Navv surface 

warfa re officer. · 

Submarine Force 

Those choosing the silent service begin by studying Navy nuclear propulsion 

after graduation as described on the next page. You then go to Navy 

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. 

ln a nuclear submarine, junior officers lead divisions of 15 to 20 men. You 

have responsibilities 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, diving officer and officer of the deck -- all 

steps towards earning the gold dolphins of a Navy submarine officer 
N uclear Propulsion 

The '\.avy"~ demanding and highly technJCal nuclear power training program 

1~ among the best in the world. Those chosen for the program usually rank 

high 111 their class and have ,1 solid background in scientific and tcchnirnl 

courses, though not necessarily maiors in these areas. 

Midshipmen who choose surface warfare can join those choosing submarines 

in pursuing a sub-specialt\' in nuclear propulsion systems. If you are accepted 

into the nuclear power program, you report to Nuclear Power School in 

Orlando, Fla., for si" months of schooling following graduation from the 

academy You then tra111 for six months at one of several nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country before reporting to your first 

ship. 

All of the Navy's submarines are nuclear powered. Nuclear surface ships 

include guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, and nuclear trained 

surface warfare officers alternate between these and conventionally powered 

ships as they advance in their careers. 

Naval Aviation 

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

hunting a S.iviet submarine 111 the North Atlantic or maneuvering a helicopter 

111 a rescue operation, naval 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 Right officers serve 

as bombardiers, navigators, radar and electronic intercept officers and 

antisubmarine warfare systems specialists.

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

Pensacola, Fla., for basic flight training. Then pilot trainees move on to 

Meridian, Miss.; Corpus Christi, Texas; or Beeville, Texas; depending on the 

type of aircraft they've chosen. Naval flight officers remain in Pensacola for 

their training. You receive your wings after an 18- to 24-month training 

period. You are assigned to your first squadron after a six- to eight-month 

indoctrination tour in a replacement air group. 

Besides flying, naval aviators have significant collateral responsibilities from 

their very first duty assignment. New 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.

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 a ttend The Basie 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 include infantry, armor, artiUery, logistics, 

engineering, data processing and communications. 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 
enlisted 'V1arincs. You often have a role in a Marine nir/ground task force, 

with Manne light infantry capable of opposing much more heavily eqlllpped 

forces. 'Vlc:;hing of air and ground officers 111 these task forces and individual 

units g1\'CS officers the opportunity later lo command combined units, not just 

within c<1reer specialties. 

Restricted Line and Staff Corps Specialties for Men 

'V1en who are not physicallv qualified to serve 111 the unrestricted line but who 

can be comm1ss1oned as active duty officers can choose from a wide variety of 

alternatives and pur~ue a career all the way to the flag officer rank of admiral 

Restricted line and staff corps officers make careers in the fields of mtelligence, 

cryptt1logy, oceanography, geophysics, medicine, engineering, supply, 

a\'iation maintenance, salvage and rescue, and public affairs. 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 in the 'V1edical Corps even if physically qualified to serve in the 

unrestricted line.

Assignments for Wome n Officers 

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

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

as a pilot or naval flight 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 the 

temporary duty period. 

Many women graduates are commissioned in the general unrestricted line 

and choose U.S. and overseas shore duty assignments in communications, 

cryptology, administration, personnel, international relations or other areas 

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

operations, oceanography, intelligence, supply, medicine or civil engineering. 

You also may choose to enter the Marine 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 111clude supply, administration, communications, law, data processing 

and air control.

After Your First ToUI of Duty 

By the time you complete your first tour of duty, you'll probably have a 

pretty good idea about your career goals, and the avy and Marine Corps 

will give you every opportunity to achieve them. You will have assignments 

to prepare you for advancement and command of a surface ship, submarine, 

,mcraft squadron, Marine Corps unit or an organization ashore. 

Naval officers alternate between tours of 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 training in your specialty, and coursework at military 

service colleges in leadership, management, tactics, strategy, politico-military 

affairs and interna tional relations. You never stop learning, even as your 

responsibilities for people, operations and policy-making increase.

The Board of Visitors 

The duty of the Board of Visitors to the academy 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

Supporting Organizations 

Several private, not-for-profit organizations support the J\a\'al Academy in 

important ways. One of them is the l'la,al Academy Foundation, which 

awards 5cholarships to promising midshipmen candidates (see page 26). 

Others arc described below. 

U.S. Nava l Academy Alumni Association 

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

corporation of over 32,500 members, more than half of whom are life 

members. All current and fom1er midshipmen arc eligible for membership 

and any person who has demonstrated active support of the Naval Academy 

or the Alumni Association may be invited to apply for Associate Membership. 

Benefits of membership are 10 issues each year of Shipmate containing news of 

the '\aval Academy, alumni affairs, class notes and articles of interest. 

Members ha\'e an opportunity to purchase the annual Register Of A/11111111 and 

may enroll in a Group Tenn Life Insurance program, Group Hospitalization 

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 

chapter5 all over the world sponsor events for candidates and their parents, 

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

Officers. The Alumni Associa tion helps organize and coordinate parents clubs 

throughout the country and provides speakers who bring current events from 

the academy 

A primary mission of the association is to help the Naval Academy meet 

needs that cannot be met with available appropriated funds. Over the years, 

support has been pro\'ided m virtually every area: from academics to 

athletics, from book~ to buildings. The association is currently conducting a 

maior campaign with a mmimum goal of 52-1 million to provide funding for 

the new Alumni Hall and to create endowments in the areas of academic 

excellence, professional development and midshipmen extracurricular acti\'iltcs.

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 or physical condition that might interfere with, or be aggravated by, 

the academy's rigorous program or bar you from unrestricted service as a 

naval officer. 

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 all 

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

convenience. 

Waivers 

Some medical requirements can be waived for candidates who othenvise are 

very promising. The report of your medical examination is reviewed carefully 

and you receive a written summary of the results. If 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 admissions record is competitive, the board asks DODMERB 

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

you to provide amplifying 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 

naval officer than do competing candidates who are physically qualified. 

Medical History 

DODMERB will review your medical history for information on illnesses, 

injuries, surgery, familial diseases, and other factors that could affect your 

physical condition. You might be asked to submit additional reports from 

physicians or hospitals. Correctable problems, including dental defects, 

should be taken care of before your examination for the Nava l Academy. 

Eyes and Vision 

This is 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 automatically considers waiver of the visual acuity standard 

for candidates who are otherwise physically qualified, who 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; 
• astigmatbm does not exceed 3.00 diopters in either eye; and 

• the difference in rcfracti\'e error between the two eyes docs not exceed 

3.50 diopters. 

Aga111, if the only problem is that your 1111correcled visual acuit,· is not normal, 

the Admissions Board will automatically consider waiver of this standard; 

you need not request this. 

Color perception 11111st be normal. Color vision is retested on lnduction Day. 

Do not undergo radial keratotomy if you hope to attend the Naval Academy. 

Radial kcratotomy, keratomilew,is, cpikcratophakia, orthol-.eratology and all 

other surgical or mechanical procedures performed to correct visual acuity are 

disqualifying, and waivers are not considered. Keratoconus is disqualifying. 

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 hard or gas-permeable contact lenses 

for 21 days before your examination.

candidates who-.e height falb either above or below these standards. 

The minimum qu,1hfying weight (bv height) -.tandards are listed m the tahle 

abo,·e. Bccau-.e of substantial variation in candid,Hes body composition, we 

do not USl' a ma1'imum weigh t (by height) sta ndard Instead of ma,imum 

weight, the qualifnng standard 1s bodv fat percentage no more than 26 

percent for men and 36 percent for women To facilitate processing for most 

cand1dak's, howe\'er, we ha,·e adopted a table ot ma,1mum screening weights 

which \\ HI appro,1matl' a body fat percentage slighth- less than the ma,imum 

acceptable lf vour weight is ,1t least the minimum and not more than thl• 

m,n..imum shown for your height on the table abm·e, we will assume that ~•ou r

height, DOOM ERB will a-.J... ,·ou to prm 1de se\'eral measurements (if these 

were not recorded at the time of vour initial ph\'sical examination) lrom ,, h1Ch

Obeslly will not be wa1\·ed. and if you exceed the standard on Induction Day 

vou should expect lo be disqualified. 

Heart a nd Vascular System 

These conditions are disqualifving. uncorrected septa! defects; congenital, 

rheumatic, or other abnormality of the heart valves or other major vessels; 

abnormal heart rate or rhythm; blood pressure predominantly in the range of 

160/ 90 or greater; severe or symptomatic varicose veins; and mitral valve 

prolapse which has either caused symptoms or been associated with rhythm 

disturbance or regurgitation. 

Ears a nd Hearing 

Both ears must be free of tympanic perforation and acute or chronic disease. 

The average of the hearing loss at 500, l 000, 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 ear at 3000 

I 11 is 45 decibels and at 4000 Hz, 55 decibels. 

Respiratory System 

Asthma, recurrent asthmatic bronch11ls, exercise-induced bronchospasm or 

reactive airway disease by any other name is disqualifying. Nasal polyps, 

severe hay fever and tuberculosis (if active within two years) will also result in 

rejection. Nasal septa! deviation, hyperlrophJC rhinitis and other conditions 

which cause sigmficant reduction of flow through either airway or which 

interfere with drainage of a sinus are disqualifying; after surgical repair of a 

deviated septum, waiver may be possible. Allergy immunotherapy, unless 

established at maintenance and expected to be discontinued no more than two 

vears after matriculation, is disqualifying. 

Musculosk ele tal System 

Ununitcd fractures, history of surgery to a major joint within six months, 

history of derangement of any major joint not corrected by surgery or 

evidence of mstability subsequent to surgery, certain retained orthopedic 

fixation devices, arthritis, severe scoliosis, symptomatic structural 

abnom1alit1es of the spinal column, and herniated nucleus pulposis or history 

ot surgery to the spine for this or any other condition are disqualifying. 

155 
1 'i6 

Genitourina ry System 

Persistence of protein (except documented benign orthostahc proteinuria), 

suga r, or red or white blood cells m the unne is disqualifying, as are 

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

kidney ~tones. Severe congenital or developmental anomalies, hormonal 

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

rnmplicallons of infections are cause for rejection. An undescended testicle 1s 

disqualifying, as are pregnancy, endometriosis and severe dysmenorrhea. 

Gastrointestinal System 

I listory of peptic ulcer, gall bladder disease, regional enterilis or ulcerative 

colitis is d1squalifving. 

Neuropsychiatric Disorders 

Sl•1zure disorders (except febrile con\'uls1ons in childhood), degenerati\·e 

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, stammermg or 

stuttering, eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, learnmg disabilities, 

and sleepwalking persisting into adolescence also are disqualifying. 

Skin 

Chronic diseases such as psorn1s1s, atop1c dermatitis, and eczema are cause for 

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

Accutane is undertaken, this should be completed, with documentation of a 

favorable outcome, prior to acceptance. Pilonidal sinus, if evidenced by a 

d1scharg1ng mass, 1s cause for reiection unless repaired successfully. 

Other Disqualifying Conditions 

Some other disqualifying condllions mclude abdominal wall hernia, until 

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

abnormal bleeding states; diabetes mellitus, sickle cell disease (sickle cell trait 

and glucose-6--phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are not disqualifying), 

any active communicable infection; generalized reaction to stinging insect 

venom; allergy to common foods requinng special dietary considerations; 

drug abuse or alcohol dependence evidenced in a urine drug lest 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 mitial medICal e,amination and on Induction Dav at the '\aval 

Academy. A confim1ed posili\'e result in either test leads to 'disqualification 

without possibility of a waiver. 

Dental Standards 

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

treatment completed before your medical examinallon . .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 are 

undergoing active orthodontic treatment which will not be completed prior to 

your entry into the a val Academy, you may request a waiver. Do not have 

braces removed pnor lo completion of treatment unless adnsed b~ the '\aval 

Academy that a waiver cannot be granted. 
Other disqualifying dental conditions mclude: 

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

• marked malocclusion that requires early or prolonged treatment, involves 

tissue 1mpmgement on either the facial or lingual/ palatal gmgi\'a, or in 

some other way Jeopardizes dental health; 

• uns11tisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures; 

• severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection; 

• perforations from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or ma"illary sinus; 

or 

• tumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be expected lo require 

treatment in the foreseeable future. 

Concluding Comments 

As YOU will reali/e from the foregoing summary, the physical examination for 

admission to the Naval Academy is comprehensive and the medical and 

dental standards are exacting. This 1s necessary because our goal is for every 

m1dsh1pman to be able to anticipate unrestricted opportunities for 

commissioned service after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

exammalion process will require no more than a single visit to a physician·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 favorablv for the majority of candidates. Staff members at DODMERB 

and in the admissions office will assist in e\'ery way possible.
