today's '\avy and \ilarine Corps Throughout the 't ard, tree-shaded 

monuments commemorate the braven and heroism that are an important part 

of the academy's heritage. Buildings and "alkways are named for '\!aval

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

to come to the Un,te<l State<; Naval Academy -- are the best and brightest this nation 

has to offer We take great pnde ,n our leadership and education programs that 

prepare our student, to be commis,,oned officers m the U.S. Navy and Manne 

Corps. It ,s thi, smgulanly of purpose and focus on excellence that ,els us apart 

from other colleges and unl\·ersitll',,. Our goal, quite simply, ,s lo develop leaders 

for the world's greatest \Jav\ and \1anne Corps. 

At the United States l\.aval Academy, vou become part of an extremely proud 

tradition of excellence that spans more than ftve generations Smw 18-15, we have 

pro\'lded the finest educational laahtie,,, most up-to-date and modem lab, and 

,,qu1pment, and outstanding athletic programs. These program, and faahtle,,, 

combined with the nonp.ue,1 quahf1cat1ons and tireless dedication of our faculty 

and staff who help guide and develop our midshipmen, are unmatched anvwhere. 

This 1s our fundamental and all encompassing commitment to excellence. There is 

one important aspect about the '\aval Academv that we guarantee: We offer you 

the challenge of a hfohme and the opportunity to perform to your full potential. 

Thi, nation enlrusb to us 11, greatest national treasure, the b<'>t of it, youth. That is

Academ,· today, to prep.He for leadership roles ,n the '\avv and \farine Corp, of 

tomorrow. I challenge vou to come onboard, acct>pt th,s call and ,hart' in our 

t>Xcelll•nce. 

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

hero John Paul Jone, whose words, I have not vet begun to fight, have 

inspired generations of L S. na, al officers. His crypt i!. located beneath the 

academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the Navy A \Jat1onal 

Historic Site, the \Java) Academy hosts about one million tourists every year 

from all OYer the united States and the world. They come to en1ov the natural 

beauty of the Yard, to recall some of this countrv·s naval h1storv and to marvel 

at the.lrad1hons carried on in midshipmen parades and military formations. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies right 

outside the gate,, of the academy Wtth its colonial charm and busv waterfront, 

'lllarvland s state capital pro,·1des a pleasant, diverse setting for one of 

Amem:a·s premier colleges, the Untied States '\aval Academy 

History 

The academy started as the. aYal School in 1845, founded by S,.'cretarv of the 

'\avy George Bancroft cm 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis. Since then, 

the dcYelopment of the '\a, al Acadcmv has reflected the hi<,tory of the United 

States. As our countn ha, changed cultural!~ and technolog1callv, so ha, the

Na\'al Academy In iust a few decades, the '\iavy 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, gi\'ing midshipmen the up-to-date academic and profess1onal 

trammg they need to be effective na\'al officers m their assignments after 

graduation. 

In 1850 the Navill School became the United States \.aval Academy A new 

curriculum went into effect requiring m1dsh1pmen to study at the academy for 

four wars and to tram aboard ships each summer. That format 1s the basis of a 

tar more adrnnced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy today 

As the U.S. '\lavy grew over the years, the academy expanded. The campus of 

IO acres increased to 138. The original student bodv of 60 midshipmen grew to 

a brigade size of 4,200 m1dsh1pmen. \1odem granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures of Fort Severn and the Naval School 

Congress authorized the \Java! Academv to begm awarding bachelor of 

science degrees m 1933 The academ, later replaced a fixed curriculum taken 

by all m1dsh1pmen \\ith the present core curriculum plus 18 major fields of 

studv, a \\ide vanetv of elective courses and advanced stud, and research 

opportunities. 

The \Java! Academy first accepted women as midshipmen in 1976 when 

Congress authon,ed the admission of women to all of the service academies. 

Women comprise about 11 to 12 percent of entering plebes -- or freshman --

class, and thev pursue the same academic and professional trammg as do their 

male classmates 

Mission 

The 1'a\,al Academv has a unique clarity of purpose, e\.pressed m our official 

m1ss1on. 'To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and phvs1calh and to 

imbue them with the highest ideab ot dutv, honor and lovalty in order to 

provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of na,·al service and ha,·e 

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

responsib1ht1es of comm,md, C1ti ensh1p and government. This puts evervone 

-- facultv, staff and midshipmen -- on the same wa,·elength. It also encourages 

a sense ol spirit and pride found a t few other schools. 

Program 

The moral, mental and ph,·sical ell•ments of our program are equally 

important, all contributing to the qualities of an outstanding naval otficer 

Academics 

Even midshipman's academiL progrnm begins with a core curriculum that 

mcludt's coursl's in engineering, science, mathematics and the huma111hes.

We don t iust tell vou about life m the '\aq· and Marine Corps. Over four 

vears at the '\a val Academv, the life and cu<,toms of the na, al sen 1cc become 

~econd nature. First, you learn to take orders from practically evervone. But, 

before long, you acquire the responsibility for making decis10ns that can affect 

hundred'> of other midshipmen Your professional classroom studie" are 

backed by many hours of prad1cal experience in leadership and na,·,11 

operallons, including assignments with \.an and \i!arme Corps umb during 

summL'r months. 

Mora l education 

As future officers m the Navy or Manne Corps, m1dsh1pmen will someday be 

responsible for multi-million dollar equipment and the priceless lives of man\ 

men and women Bv neces'>1tv, an unwavering tradition of honor and 1ntegnt\ 

1s a foundation of the aval Academy In 19'il the midshipmen formulated 

the l lonor Concept \.1idshipmen are persons of mtegnty; the, do not he, 

cheat or steal " 

These arc not hollow words at '\Ja\)', where the midshipmen contmue to 

operate a strict honor system. (omposl'd of elected upperclass midshipmen,

Profile of Midshipmen 

It t,1kcs a special kind of voung man or woman to handle the '\.aval 

Academy's demanding program, but that doesn't mean all m1dsh1pmen are 

,11iJ..c Midshipmen come from all "i0 states, US. tcmtones and several foreign 

countnes. They have roots in clllC's, suburbs, farms and ranches, small towns 

and military bases. Thev ha\·e talent'> and hobbies of ever} kind and 

personalities that fit even: descnption And, thev represent the diverse ethnic 

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

Some characteristics seem to be common among '\aval 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 <,tatisllcs. The young men and women who choose the '\.a\ al Academy 

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

challenged mentally, phvsically and personally They are people who don·t 

want to ~ettle for the ordinar,,, the routine or the easy 

Midshipmen are also patnots. Thev want to serve their countrv in a 

meaningful way -- in a profession that helped win this nations independence 

more than 200 years ago. Finallv, midshipmen are young people who loo!.. to 

the future. Thev see the opportumtiL.,, available at the aval Academy, as well 

as the exciting poss1b1litll's open to them in the '\Javy and Manne Corps after 

graduation.

Our Commitment 

St>tllng ap,1rt the Naval Academy from almost every other college and 

univers1t} in the country 1s our commitment to the total development of our 

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

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

opportunity to grow 1ntelledually, personall} and physically than at the 

"-aval Academ\, If vou are chosen to enter the "-aval Academy, we believe 

YOU can rnmpl~te this tough, four-vear program In fact, we are committed to 

tlw pnnnple of helping e\'ery midshipman succeed We back up that 

commitment with 

• small class sLre \!lost classes ha\'e no more than 22 students. When you 

ilrL' an upperclassman, some courses in your maJor ma1, have only five to 

10 other students. 

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

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

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

unusual to find professors and m1dsh1pmen burning the late-night ml 

together 111 an academy re~arch lab or at a computer terminal. 

• protected study time fa·ening study period is reserved from 7.15 p.m. to 

midnight Sundav through Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with 

their courses. Add1t1onallY, '\.im1tz Librarv, computer labs and other 

fac1hlles are open for midshipmen use all day and evening, seven days a 

week.

md1ndu,1l counseling as well as an academic adviser earl\ in plebe year.

m1htarv performance and conduct They also .ire read, to help in the 

en•nt of problems, as are the academy's staff of chaplains and 

pmfessmnal counselors. 

• a sponsor progr,1m. Hundreds of families in the Annapolis area sponsor 

newlv-arn\'ed midshipmen, offering a home awa) from home and a place 

to rela, off-campus. More than enough families volunteer to give e,·er\ 

midshipman a local sponsor These contacts often grow into deep 

friendships that last ,l litet1me.

Selection for Appointment 

If the I\Ja\al Academy admisswns board finds you qualified scholastically, 

physically and medically and vou·ve obtained a nomination, you become one 

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

around 1,400 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) ,ire made beginning in October and continue through the 

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

completed b, March 21 will be closed from further consideration. 

ava l 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 1s 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 sernce obligation and is signed on Induction Dav in July at the 

"\lava] Academy It requires the consent of parents or guardian if vou are a 

minor In signmg the Agreement to Serve, you state that you \\'Ill: 

• complete the four-vear course of 111struct1on at the 1'.aval Academy 

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

of the Regular '\.an or 'vlarine Corps for at least six vears immediately after 

graduation 

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

of the '\.avv or 'vlarine Corps and remain therein until the eighth 

anniversary of graduation from the '\aval Academy if an appointment as a 

wmm1ssioned officer in the regular component is not tendered at 

graduat10n or if you resign as a commissioned officer of the regular 

component before the eighth anniver-..1rv 

• serve 111 an appropriate enlisted grade on active dut, for not more than four 

vears 1f you do not fulfill the paragraphs agreed to above. 
• reimburse the United States for the cost of education received at the Naval 

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

period of active duty specified above. 

Oath of Office 

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

must be signed and agreed to orally by U.S. midshipmen on lnduction Day: 

"I, ____, having been appointed a midshipman in the United States 

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

Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; 

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

freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will 

well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to 

enter, so help me God." 

Resignations and separations 

If you enter the Naval Academy directly from civilian life, you assume a 

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

not fulfill this agreement could be transferred to the Naval or Marine Corps 

Reserve in an enlisted status and ordered by the Secretary of the Navy to serve 

on active duty for a period not to exceed four years, as provided by Title 10, 

U.S. Code, Section 6959. However, in practice, the following policies currently 

apply to midshipmen who enter the academy from a civilian status: 

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

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

naval service 

• 1f you leave the academy after beginning the academic year as a 

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

you arc obligated to serve for two years m an enlisted status unless you 

are considered physically disqualified, unfit or unsuited for military 

service. 

• if ~·ou leave the academy after the start of first-class (senior) academic 

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

• 1f you refuse a commission upon graduation, your enlisted service 

oblig11tion is four years.

If you enter the \Java! Academv from the regular or reserve component of the 

N,1\·y or M.irine Corps, including the '\;aval Academy Preparatory School, the 

remammg period of your enlistment or obligated service is not terminated 

when you accept an appointment to the c1cademy. Therefore, if you do not 

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

the period of ser\'ice for which enlisted or obligated, as provided by Title 10, 

U.S. Code, Section 516. In calculating the unexpired part of c1n enlistment or 

period of obligc1ted ser\'ice, time as a midshipman is counted as service under 

that enlistment or service obligation However, 1f you are discharged or your 

res1gnat10n 1s accepted after begtnnmg your second-class academic year at the 

'\ia\'al Academy, vou mcur the same obligations described above for those 

who enter the academv from civilian life. 

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

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

complete the 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 '\a,·al Academy This cost 1s computed by the Na\'al 

Academv and includes the cosh of professors· salaries, supplies and other 

expenses. It 1s comparable to the tuition at a first-rate private university The 

amount to be reimbursed 111 a particular case ,·aries proportionally with the 

penod of unsen·ed obligation, ranging up to the entire cost of education 

Costs and financial obligations 

Bctore entering the '\,aval Academv, ,·ou must deposit $1,500 to be used as 

partial payment for vour umforms and supplies, including a personal

four years as a midshipman All appomtees who request an entrance deposit 

waiver must complete the college scholarship sernce financial aid form and 

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

rnstructions. 

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

cntenng midshipmen to help defray first-yea r costs not covered b, the 

deposit. This loan is repaid through monthlv deductions from m1dsh1pmen 

pa, during the four years at the academy

abo 1dcnllfics a number of promising and h1ghl~ motivated civilian

Other Considerations 

Appointments of women 

In 1976 Congress authorized women to enter the service academics, and 81 

women were admitted with the \.aval Academ\ Class of 1980. Creal stritlcs 

h,1vc bl•cn made s111ce 1976 to fulh 111tegrate women into the Brigade 

Women comprise 11 to 12 percent of each entering class. Admissions 

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

allowances made for the ph\'sical differences between men and women. The 

number of women admitted each vear 1s basl•d on the needs of the \.,wv and 

'vlarine Corps for women officers. Approximately 450 of the 4,100-member 

Brigade of 'vlidsh1pmen are women 

The acadenw offers women thl' same opportunities to excel 1t h,1s extenlkd to 

men: a challeng111g acadenrn: curriculum to promote 111tellectual dc\·elopment, 

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

military environment to develop d iscipline, military skills and leadership 

Prev ious candidates 

If you applied before but were not appo111ted to the \. aval Academy, you may 

reappl} for adm1ss1011 with a subsequent class. The application process is the 

~,me In general, we recommend vou retake vour SAT or ACT tests. Also, 1f 

you take college or prep school courses before reapply111g, we suggest you 

take courses similar to those required of first-year midshipmen. 

Readmission of former midshipmen 

Former m1dsh1pmen desiring to reenter the \.a\'al Academ} must obtain a 

new nom111alton and rcqualify medically In addition to adm1ss1ons board 

action, the academv's academic board must agree to readmit former 

m1dsh1pmen. Like anv other candidate, vou must not be past your 26th 

birthday on July I of the year you would graduate from the academ\ to be 

l'l1g1ble for wnsiderat10n Requests should be addressed to the dean of 

admissions not later than April I of the yea r of desired readm1ss1on. 

International students 

In thl' 111tcrest ot 111ternational and na\·y-to-na\·y relations, the Secretarv of the 

\.an can authorize students from certain countries to enroll at the Naval 

\rncicm\ Lp to 40 of these students 111,1y bl' at the academy at a gi\en time .

all about. We can e,plain that the four wars at Ann,1polis are tighth· 

strul"lured. \'\'hill' there are m,111~ wavs vou can pursue vour md1vidual Meas 

of mtt'rl''-t, ,1 four-Yt'ar progr,1111 1-. required of all midshipmen. In this st'Chon,

the head. Likewise, midshipmen seniority is stated in a way different from 

traditional 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 aval Academy students, men and women, are called midshipmen, 

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

midshipman first class is 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, making a total of 36 companies. The midshipmen command 

structure, headed by a first class midshipman chosen for outstanding 

leadership performance to be brigade commander, is responsible for much 

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

midshipmen. Overseeing all brigade activities is the Commandant of 

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

Working for the commandant, experienced avy and Marine Corps officers 

are assigned as company and battalion officers. 

Four-Year Summary 

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

of the Naval Academy's four-year program. Each year at the academy 

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

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

responsibility in leading underclassmen at Annapolis and acting as a junior 

officer during summer professional training with the fleet. 

Life in the Brigade 

No matter what your background, chances are the living arrangements at 

the academy are different from anything you have experienced. The day 

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

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

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

"You make friendships that 

will Inst the rest of your 

life. When er.•en;one is 

going through the sn111e 

challenges, you find n very 

close-klzit group develops."

lime and keep your unifom,s in regulation condition. Demerits are awarded 

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

All midshipmen live in Bancroft Hall, a huge dormitory complex. You are 

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 company spirit is built. 

Companies accumulate points for academic, professional and intramural 

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

Parade during Commissioning Week and then enjoys special privileges for the 

next year, including the honor of representing the Naval Academy at official 

functions such as presidential inaugurations.

Cultural Affairs Program 

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

arrange tickets and transportation to cultural events in those metropolitan 

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

and other theatres are open to midshipmen from all classes. 

With the 1991 opening of the Bob Hope Perfonning Arts Center at Alumni 

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

concert events to midshipmen. The Distinguished Artists Series, which 

presents performers of international renown, is the centerpiece of the 

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

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

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

other cultural activities, including poetry readings and lectures by leading 

American authors, are offered at the academy. 

Extracurricular Activities 

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

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

give midshipmen a chance to share recreational, professional and athletic 

interests. Most of the ECAs are run by midshipmen.

mcluding access to military comm1ssar1es and exchanges, commercial 

transportation and lodgmg thswunts, and the abilitv to fly space-available in

55-13.90 monthly. Part of this goes to defrav the cost of umfoT111s, books and 

professional equipment 

leave and Privileges 

The l\aval Academ,·s combmed academic, m1htarv and physical de\'elopment 

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

than the typical c1vtlian college student. But midshipmen enioy Christmas and 

summer \'acations (leave) plus shorter periods of time off (liberty). Free time 

to be awav from the acadenn is based in large part on assigned military 

responsib1lit1cs, perform,1nce in academic and militar~ endea\'ors and class 

seniority You e.1rn more liberty and privileges each year vou ad\'ance at the 

academ} All midshipmen generally are granted leave durmg these periods: 
• Thanksgiving leave; 

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

• mid-term leave during spring semester; 

• Easter liberty; 

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

Week; and 

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

according to the summer's professional training schedule. 

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 authori4ed for midshipmen as 

follows: 

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

within the aval Academy complex on Saturday mornings and Sunday 

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

throughout Commissioning Week. Special weekend liberty may be 

granted on !>pecial occasions. 

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

eight a semester for second-classmen.

Faculty 

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

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

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

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

two to three year assignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from 

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

explain how studies at the academy are applied 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 faculty members are involved in scholarly research and 

writing, their first priority always is teaching. 

Academic Advising 

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

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

company of plebes is assigned two faculty members, either military or civilfan, 

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

study sJ...ills 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 year, midshipmen are assigned a permanent 

faculty adviser from the academic department of that major Professors and 

company officers are extremely helpful in providing academic counseling and 

advice to midshipmen. 

Core Curriculum 

ln four years at the Naval 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, nearly all courses are required. An elective 

course may be taken plebe year. The required courses form the foundation for 

the more advanced courses chosen by upperclass midshipmen. Some core 

requirements in the upperclass years have alternative courses from wh.ich to 

choose, depending on your academic background, abilities and major. 

The typical academic schedule for plebes includes five courses in each of two 

semesters: 

Ple be year first semester - 16 cred it hours 

• C11lculus I -- Plebes not adequately prepared for calculus taJ...e a 

pre-calculus course that does not count as part of the minimum 

mathematics requirement. 

• Chemistry- Including laboratories. 
• U.S. Government and Constitutional Development -- Plebes may take an

Advanced Placement 

More than half ol those entenng the Naval Academy validate one or more 

cour~es. This validation 1s attributable lo previous college-level achievement. 

Each of tlw academv·s academic departments sets its own validation standards 

and considers one or more of the following: 

• transcripts. 

• department validation tests, admmistered at the 1ava l Academy. 

• College Entrance Exammation Board (CEEB) Achievement and 

Ad, a need Placement tests.

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

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

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

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

complete professional courses and training. 

'v1idshipmen who take advantage of validation in their ea rly years may 

pursue independent research, honors programs or master's degree studies in 

their fourth year at the academy, if they qualify for admission to these special 

programs. 

Majors Program 

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

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

For those exceptional students with unique backgrounds or overriding 

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

those social sciences and humanities that can be reasonably related to the 

naval profession is offered. 

ear the end of plebe year, you choose a maJOr course of study with the aid 

and support of academic and military advisers. A total of 18 majors is offered: 

Aerospace Engineering 

Chemistry 

Computer Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Engineering 

General Science 

History 

Marine Engineering 

Mathematics 

Mechanical Engineering 

Naval Architecture 

Ocean Engineering 

Oceanography 

Physics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 

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

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

satellites, the Naval Academy recently created an astronautics track within the 
aerospace engtnl'l!nng ma1or to help prepare midshipmen tor ,1s,1gnments

indoctrination, phvsical education, basic seamanship and sailing, small arms 

training, fir<,t aid and introduction to personal computers. See page 36 for 

mon.> on Plebe Summer. 

Third-class summer 

In the summer between your plebe and third-class ~-ears, you will either 

conduct Atlantic patrols in Yard Patrol craft or ~ail up and down the eastern 

seaboard on US\.A training sloops. Additionally, vou will spend four weeks 

training with the u.S. Manne Corps, experiencing the ultimate test of 

te,1mwork while conducting field exercises. 

Second-class summer 

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

L'\ ery maior branch of the '\,a\"\'. In one acllon-packed summer, you ny \Ja\'y

after graduation may attend a "Bulldog" four-week officer candidate course in 

Quantico, Va., with a follow-on three-week tour attached to a Marine unit. 

Other s ummer training opportunities 

To complement these summer training programs, the academy offers the 

opportunity to qualified midshipmen to attend several different warfare 

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

(special warfare) in California, scuba school in Florida, or survival evasion, 

resistance, escape (SERE) training in Colorado. 

The academy also offers summer school. Midshipmen may enroll in 

concentrated versions of regular classes to make up for previous 

unsatisfactory performance or to get ahead in curricular requirements. 

Grading 

Grades have extra importance at the aval Academy because they affect your 

status and privileges as a midshipman. As the major detem1inanl of class 

rank, they also determine your priority in service selection and seniority upon 

graduation and commissioning. 

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

equi,·alents, or QPE: 

A = 4.0 (Excellent) 

B = 3.0 (Good) 

C = 2.0 (Satisfactorv) 

D = 1.0 (Magmally 'passing) 

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

point 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 cwnulative QPR (CQPR) based on all of your grades. 

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

academic probation or dism.issal. As required by law, the Academic Board 

interviews academically deficient midshipmen. Midshipmen subject to 

academ.ic discharge are those who fail h-vo or more courses; have a semester 

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

behind in the matrix of the assigned major; do not fulfill a requirement 

previously assigned by the academic board; or do not complete all graduation 

requirements by the end of the first-class year. 

Grades in military performance, conduct, the physical education and summer 

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

standing. Satisfactory performance in professional areas is required. 

Academic Recognition 

Three honor categories recognize midshipmen with outstanding academic and 

professional records: 

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

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

education. 

Dean's List -- midshipmen with semester QPR of 3.4 and no failure in any 

academic course; grades of at least C in military performance, conduct and 

physical education. 

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

at least Bin military performance, A in conduct and Bin physical education. 

Honor societies 

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

Academy. Midshipmen who excel academically may be recommended for 

membership in these societies: 

Omicron Delta Epsilon - international honor society for economics. 

Midshipmen candidates for election to the Naval Academy chapter need not 

be economics majors but must have an overall scholastic average of Band at 

least twelve credits in economics with a B average or better. 

Phi Alpha Theta - international honor society for history. Membership 

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

speakers and regional meetings of the society. 

Phi Kappa Phi - for superior scholarship in all fields of study. Up to six 

percent of the midshipmen of each class may be chosen to join, half during 

their second-class year and half in first-class year. 

Pi Sigma Alpha -- national honor society for political science. To be eligible for 

membership, midshipmen must stand in the upper one-third of their class 

with a B or better average in at least 15 hours of political science courses.

Aerospace Engineering Major 

The aerospace engmeenng department offers one of the most exciting and challenging academic 

programs at the Naval Academy. The program is structured to produce naval officers "'ho will 

serve 111 the forefront of the inception, de,·elopment and employment of avy air and space 

assets. The curriculum provides a background in engineering fundamentals through courses in 

chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering mechanics, thermodvnanucs and electrical 

engineering. With these subjects as a base, students undertake aerospace engineering topics 

including aerodynamics, propulsion and aerospace structures. The major b accredited by the 

Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and 

Technology 

In the area of aeronaullcs, students extend their study of aerodynamics, flight structures and 

flight mechanics. The astronautics track allows students to study astrodynamics, satellite 

attitude dynamics and control, and the space environment. Both tracks conclude with a design 

course, which allows midshipmen to apply their engineering knowledge lo the design of an aero 

or space flight vehicle. Both tracks also involve thorough laboratory experimentation. The aval 

Academy's aerospace laboratory facilities a re some of the most advanced and e,tensive in the 

country. These facilities include structures, propulsion and rotor labs; variable stability aircraft 

simulator; spacecraft lrack111g and experimentation facilities; and various wind tunneb with 

flow velocities rang111g from subsonic to supersonic. 

The aerospace eng111cering major is not required for midshipmen who JUSl want to fly The 

Naval Acadenw prepares all midshipmen to become professional officers in the na\'al sernce 

and upon commiss,onmg they can choose from exciting careers u, the a\'ialion, surface or 

subsurface communities, or ser\'ice m the Marine Corps.

Naval Architecture Major 

The naval architecture major is accredited by the Engmeenng Accreditation Commission of the 

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology The major is unlike most engmcering 

disciplines that are unified by the nature of the phenomena mvolved. Tlus major origmally 

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

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

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

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

catamarans, and submarines to surface-effect vehicles. 

Naval architects use both art and engincenng in desigrnng ships. Armed with imagination and 

experience, they convert functional requirements mto a suitable, cost-effective design. Thev 

analyze and select the best dimensions and hull lom1, calculate the power requirements, and 

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

and decide on the location of military sub-S)'Stems, machinery spaces, accommodations, and 

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

damaged, the chances of survival are maxLm1zed Vieighing and compromising all such 

conflicting needs in the design of the ship are the creative and challenging responsibilities of the 

naval architect. 

Naval architecture at the Naval Academy approaches these topics in a fully integrated program 

of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, field trips, a11d the latest in computer-aided 

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

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

architecture. A distinguished and innovative faculty complement these outstanding faciht,es 

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

bachelor of science in naval architecture is awarded

Department of History 

History Major 

The major 111 history provides an opportunity to examine the evolution of past civt!izations, and 

to evaluate and understand the mstitutions, achievements, ethics and values of manktnd 

through the ages. History majors learn to evaluate ideas critically· to sift evidence, to draw 

conclusions and to express their conclusions clearly and concisely A clear understanding of the 

events of the past provides a more acute awareness of contemporary issues and problems, as 

well as a context and a process for evaluatmg those problems. The program includes 

mtroductorv courses on the values and ideas of Western civilization and on the h1stoncal role of 

the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Majors will select upper-division courses from the field of 

American, European, non-Western and naval and military history. A bachelor of science degree 

is awarded

history major will also take Perspectives on History (HI 1262) and a Semmar 111 Advanced 

I l1storical Studies {HH462). These courses introduce the students to historiography and the 

techniques of historical research and wnting and enable them to pursue an historical issue in 

depth The department also requ11es each history major to take at least one American history 

cuurse, one European history course, one cross-national course and one regional course from 

among those listed below. 

The honors program in history offers a student with above-average ability and ambition an 

opJX1rtumty to pursue a more challenging cumculum and to earn honors degree. Those 

accepted for the program will follow the normal history major, with the following exceptions: 

they will take two I lonors Colloquia {I IH507 and HI 1508 111 second class year) 111 place of two

Mathematics Major 

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

foundation and lo develop facility in applying mathematical concepts and techniques. The 

program permits concentration in mathematics, operations analysis or scientific computing. 

A bachelor of scic>nce degree in mathematics is awarded An honors program with a 

designated honors degree is available for selected students. 

A solid background 111 mathematics facilitates postgraduate specialization in manv technical 

areas, 111clud111g nuclear power Mathematics provides the broad foundation for the 

development of analytical skills required to work with and develop new technology. 

The mathematics department ,s the largest academic department at the Naval Academy. 

Each semester about two-thirds of all midshipmen take one or more courses 111 mathematics. 

Cour-;es are taught 111 seclmns with 20-22 students in lower level courses and 15-18 students 

,n upper lcn,I courses. Because of the department's size, there 1s a wide variety of elective 

courses lo satisfy ind1\'ldual interests or ma1or requirements.

Physics Major 

TI,e major program in physics presents fundamental physical concepts and principles in such a 

wav as to emphasl/.e their general usefulnt'SS and provides a strong foundation for turther w,,rk 

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 

reason mg so essential to solving new problems. A bachelor of science degree 1s awarded 

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

of wave, of all kinds; field concepts; theory of relatlvity; basic theory of quantum mechanics; 

and statistical mechanics. All arc studied with the object of dcvelopmg an open-m111ded and 

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

be the leaders ,n the Navy of the future. The physics major is excellent preparation for 

midshipmen interested in nuclear power, Navy air, surface warfare and Manne Corps warfare 

,pcCJallies. Advanced degree programs are available to qualified physics maiors prior tu 

graduallon, 1mmed1ately after graduation and later in their careers. 

The Physics Department houses eight teachmg laboratories which mclude special facilities 111 

acoustics, nuclear physics, laser optics and sohd state physics. There are also seven faculty 

r,,,,earch laboratories, two photographic darkrooms and wcll-l'qu1pped machine and eleclrn111cs 

shops. Major mslruments 111clude a 1.7 megavolt tandem electrostatic accelerator, a 7-mch 

cquatonally mounted refracting tel5cope, modern laser svstcms, an anechoic chamber, dcdron 

spm r5onancc and nuclear magnetic r5onance fac1lities, l11gh resolution visible light and 

1nlrarcd spcctrographs, a liquid hdmm d,lullon refrigerator, an x-ray d1ffractromcter and 

microcomputer workstations for student use 111 data collcclion and processmg 111 all laboratories. 

Several more workstatmns are available tn a physics ma1ors study room for m1dsh1pmcn to use 

for graphics, word processmg and mathematical analysis.

Athletics 

Just as the '\.a\'al Academy mamtams a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual de\'elopment of midshipmen, so also must it fulfill its 

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

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

nation -- 23 men·s and 10 womens varsity teams -- and an equallv ambitious 

intramural program. All midshipmen are required to participate m these 

programs, either at the varsity or mtramural level 

Vice Admiral \Villiam P. Lawrence, former superintendent of the \Java! 

Acadcm\ and an evPOW in Vietnam once noted: "I think there 1s one 

characteristic of the American people that contributes immenseh to the 

gre.1tnL>ss of our countrv and that's our dedication to excellence in e\'ery \\'a\ 

of American life. And I thmk we attach a high degree of significance to 

excellence m physical fitness. Intercollegiate sports more or less represents the 

ultimate 111 ei..cellence m amateur sports -- that's one of the real values of 

mtercollegiate athletics. It's great for the spirit and morale of the country to 

ha\ e this demonstration of physical e"ellence at the collegiate le\·el. 

lntercollegrnte sports impart those values a military leader must ha\·e to a 

large degree. Admiral La\\'rence has been the recipient of two of this nation's 

most prest1g1ous athletic awards -- the I ational Football Foundation and Hall 

of Fame's Gold Medal and the Theodore Roose\·elt Award from the \iational 

Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 

Tlw roll <all of \ arstt\ '\, wmncr.., at the '\a val Academ, reads like a 

\·critable \'\hos Who 1~ America -- Rear Admiral Alan B. Shepard, the fm,t 
American in space and a member of the heavyweight crew; Admiral 

Stansfield Turner, ex-football lineman who became director of the Central 

Intelligence Agency; Admiral Arleigh Burke, a wrestler who later was Chief of 

Naval Operations; Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar explorer who 

captamed the Navy gymnastics team; Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, also a 

former Navy oarsman; and Fleet Admiral Bull Halsey of World War II fame, a 

football player al the academy. [n recent years, the names have been Heisman 

Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach, football greats Phil 

McConkey and Napoleon McCallum who went on to play in the National 

Football League; and 1987's Collegiate Basketball Player of the Year, David 

Robinson 

Robinson powered the midshipmen to the CAA basketball tournament three 

straight years in the 1980s and was named the l\.ational Basketball Association 

"Rookie of the Year" Ill 1990 and will be a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic 

basketball team 

A yem ago, 31 Navy varsity student-athletes were accorded All-America 

honors, and the pistol and sailing teams won national lilies. In addition, Navy 

won conference or regional championships in five sports. 

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

mtcrnal1onal arenas. Midshipmen football learns have participated in the 

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

'\:avy'-s rivalry w1lh Army is on a par with the World Series and Kentucky

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

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

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

performance) at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships four 

Limes in recent years, including 1990. And Navy's women's crews captured the 

Seitz Trophy al the Dad Vail Regatta for the fourth consecutive year in 1990. 

In addition to the medal-winning 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 Bron7e medal in men's basketball at the 1988 games, one of five 

Naval Academy graduates competing at Seoul. 

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

winning national titles in 16 of the past 17 years. And midshipmen teams in 

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

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

have 11ll earned berths in NCAA championship competition in the past five 

years. 

The Na\'al Academy's sailing team provides midshipmen with opportunities 

to de\·elop 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 thl' Naval Academy, the athletic program is not just an extracurricular activity, it 

1s part of the mission and as such receives a priority much different than at a civilian 

school I think athletic teams are an integral part of the overall education of a total 

person. Athletics can provide leadership opportu111ties and the experiences of team 

play, cooperallve effort, commitment and individual sacrifice ior goals that some 

may or may not be able lo achieve. Athletics are a big part of every midshipman's 

hie at the Naval Academy . 

.. ,n nur program everyone has a wide variety of athletic choices as well as the 

required physical education curriculum The primarv goal of the physical education 

curriculum is fitness, which 1s so vllal for health, personal appearance and 

well-bemg. 

''We hope to 111tcresl ,rnd msurc prohciencv in what we call 'carry-over· sports that 

our young n1t'n and women can enjoy for a lifetime, such as tennis, golf, squa~h. 

handball and swimming. I !ere at the Na,·al Academy we ha,·e excellent facilities for 

all m1dsh1pmen to gam the neccssarv skill levels for f-uturc cn1oyment.

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 have access to these facilities, for team sports or individual 

workouts:

You choose your Navy or Marine Corps career field at the beginning of the 

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

Midshipmen with the highest class standjng have first choice, so options and 

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

physical qualifications. I lowever, every attempt is made to grant you the duty 

and location you request.

Surface warfa re 

Surface warfare officers serve in every type of surface ship in the Navy. When 

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

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

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

Newport, R.1., or Coronado, Calif., before reporting to your ship. Your first 

lour of duty lasts about 30 months. 

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

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

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

warfare officer, gunnery officer, communications officer and damage control 

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

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

warfare officer. 

Submarine force 

Those choosing the silent service begin by studying I avy nuclear propulsion 

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

Submarme School in ew London, Conn., for the JO-week submarine officers 

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

submarine lasts about 36 months. 

In 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.

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

Pensacola, Fla., for basic flight training. Then pilot trainees either stay in 

Pensacola or 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 of gold 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 fleet replacement squadron. 

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. 

Marine Corps 

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

second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. After graduation from the academy, 

you attend the Basic School, a 26-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 groW1d 

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

After Your First Tour of Duty 

By the time you complete your first tour of duty, you will 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, 

aircraft squadron, Manne 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 i.nternational relations. You never stop learning, even as your 

responsibilities for people, operations and policy-making increase.

'It is our mission to develop leaders, leaders of integrity, which is not a simple 

challenge. In its 147-year history the academy has produced not only the great 

leaders that fill our history books - Nimitz, Halsey, King and Lejeune - but also 

thousands of Navy and Marine Corps officers who have led, and continue to lead, 

our naval service in both war and peace. We shall continue this rich tradition as we 

shape current and future midshipmen into our leaders of the 21st century. 

''It 1s a fomudable challenge, but I cannot think of a more worthwhile job than that 

of commandant. The opportunity to have a positive influence on the development 

of these bright men and women is indeed a genuine privilege. 

"The Naval Academy provided me with a first rate education; military training that 

has served me well these last 24 years; a commission in the I avy, which led to an

The duty of the academy's Board of Visitors 1s 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 presjdential appointees, four 

appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, and a member

Supporting Organizations 

Several private, not-for-profit orga111zations support the Naval Academy in 

important ways. One of them is the Na\·al Academy Foundation, which 

awards scholarships to prom1s1ng midshipmen candidates (see page 26). 

Others arc described below. 

U.S. aval Academy Alumni Association 

The Alumni Association 1s a non-profit, independent, self-supporting 

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

members. All current and former midshipmen are eligible for membership 

and any person who has demonstrated active support of the a val Academy 

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

Benefits of membership arc 10 issues each year of Sl,ip111nlc containing news of 

the Naval Academy, alumni affairs, class notes and articles of mterest. 

Members have an opportunity lo purchase the annual Register Of A/r111111i and 

may enroll 111 a Croup Term Life Insurance program, Group Hospitalization 

Plan and a Croup Investment program. 

Members of the Alum111 Association are very active in assisting young men 

and women who arc 111lcrcstcd 111 attending the Naval Academy. Alumni 

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

and many alumni ser\'C' as Naval Academy Information (Blue and Cold) 

Officers. The Alumni Assoc1atmn helps organize and coordinate parents clubs 

throughout the country and provides speakers who bring current events from 

the academy. 

A primary mission of the a~:;oc1ation is to help the Naval Academy meet 

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

support has been provided in virtually every area: from academics to 

athletics, from books to build111gs. TI1e association is currently conducting a 

maior campaign with a mirnmum goal of $2.i million to provide fw1ding for 

the new Alumni Hall and to ueate endov,ments in the areas of academic 

excellence, professional de,elopment and midshipmen extracurricu lar 

activities.

Appendix A: Medical Considerations 

The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB) 

111 Colorado Springs, Colo., schedules you r medical examinatton and evaluates 

your medical condition verv ca refully before vou can be offered an 

:1ppo111tment to the ,aval Academy. This 1s lo determ111e \\ hether you ha\·e a 

mL•dical or physical condition that might 111terfere with, or be aggravated bv, 

the ,,cademy·s rigorous program or bar you from unrestricted service as an 

officer 111 tht• \Ja\V or Manne Corps. 

Major medical cons1derat1ons are summarized here so that you and your 

physician and dentist can anticipate whether you meet the baste requirements 

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

d1squaltfy111g conditions, but rather a brief and general guide for your 

convenience 

Waivers 

Some mo.'dical requ1remenb can be waived for candidates who otherwise are 

highly qualified The report of your medical exam111ahon 1s renewed carefully 

and vou receive a written summary of the re5ults. If you have a d1squaltfy111g 

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

reque-,t a waiver of the standard by \Hthng to the admissions board at the 

,1cademy If vour admissions record ts competitive, the board asks DODMERB 

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

vou to pronde ampltfv111g 111formation on the condition or to undergo 

evaluation bv a medical spl>ctaltst DOD'vlERB reviews all of the ava1lable 

111formation and may '>L>ek 111dependent review and an advisory opinion from 

the staff of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery 111 Wash111gton. If vour 

condition mav be wai\·ed, and not all conditions may, your entire record I'> 

reconsidered bv the adm1ss1ons board The board grants a waiver if your 

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

n,l\'al officer than do competing candidates who are physically qualified. 

Medical history 

DODMERB will review your medical history for 111formation on illnesses, 

1111urie-,, surgen, familial diseases and other factors that could affect your 

ph\·s1cal condthon You might be asked to submit additional reports from 

phvs1oans or hospitals. Correctable problems, including dental defects, 

should be taken care of before your exam111ation for the \Java! Academy. 

Eyes and vision 

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

for adm1ss1on is normal (20 20) uncorrected nsual acuit\· 111 each eve. The 

,1dm1ss1on-, board automahcalh considers wai\·er of the\ 1sual acmtv standard 

tor candidate-, who are otherwise plwsicalh qualified, who h,1ni exceptional 

sclmlasti( and leader...htp potenttal and "ho meet the following additional 

requ1remenh 

• vision corrects to 20/20 111 each e,·e \\'tth ewglasses {not contact lenses); 

• refractt\·e error does not exceed 6.00 diopters 111 am· meridian 111 either 

t.!\'('; 

• astigmatism doe.., not e,ceed 1.00 diopters 111 either eve, ,1nd 
• the difference in refractive error between the two eyes docs not exceed 

3.50 dl(lpters 

Again, 1f the tm/11 problem b that your 1111co1n•cff'rl visual acuity is not normal, 

the Admissions Board will automatically consider waiver of this standard; 

you need not re4uest this. 

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

Do not unde rgo rad ial keratotomy if you hope to attend the Naval Academy. 

Rachal keratotomy, keratomileusis, epikcratophakia, orlhokeratology and all 

other surgical, laser or mechanical procedures performed to correct visual 

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

disqualifying. 

If ;-ou 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.

braces remm·ed prior to completwn of treatment unless advised by the '\a,al 

·\c,1den1\ 
Other disqualifying dental conditions include: 

• infecllons or chronic diseases of the soft tissue of the oral cavity; 

• marJ...ed malocclusion that requires early or prolonged treatment, involves 

tissue impingement on either the facial or l111gual/palatnl ging1va, or 111 

some other way jeopard1Les dental health; 

• unsatisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures; 

• severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection; 

• perforations from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus; 

or 

• tumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be expected to require 

treatment 111 the foreseeable future. 

Concluding comme nts 

As you will realize from the foregoing summary, the physical examination for 

admission to the Naval Academy 1s comprehensive, and the medical and 

dental standards are exacting. This is necessary because our goal is for every 

m1dsh1pman to be able to anticipate unrestricted opportunities for 

comm1ss1oned sen·ice after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

exammation 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 favorably for the majority of rnndidates. Many disqualifying 

conditions may be potentially waived (see discussion on page 152). Staff 

members at DODMERB and in the admissions office will assist in every way 

possible.
