their nation. 

The Naval Ac.idcmy .ilso 1s the final resring place of Revolucionary War naval hero John Paul Jones whose words, 

I have nor )'Cl begun co fight," have inspired generations of U.S. Navy officers. His crypt 1s located beneath chc

of old hm '>evcrn 111 Annapolis. Since then, rhc devclopmcnc of che Naval Academy has rcflcwxl the hiscory of rhe 

l.;nicc:d States. As our councry has changed culturally and ccchnologically, so has rhe Na\'al Academy. In only a few 

dccadc,, the Navy has moved from a Aeer of sail and steam-powered ships ro a high-eccl, fleer with nuclear-powered 

subm,rnne, ,md surface ship, and supc.:rso111c arrcrafr. The Academy has changed, coo, giving midshipmen rhe up-cod.1tc ,tcadenm ,111d professional rra1111ng they need ro be dTccm·e naval officers in their assignments afrcr graduation.

Congrc�s auchorized rhe Naval Academy ro begin awarding bachelor of science degrees 

111 1933. The Academy lacer replaced a fixed curriculum taken by all midshipmen with 

rhe present core curriculum plus 18 major fields of srudy, a wide variery of deceive 

courses and advanced scudy and research opportuniries. 

The Naval Academy first accepred women as midshipmen in 1976, when Congress 

authorized rhe admission of women to all of rhe service academies. \Xlomen comprise about 

15-1- percent of entering plebes-or Freshmen-and rhey pursue rhe 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 ro imbue them with the 

highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalry in order ro provide graduates who are 

dedicated ro a career of naval service and have potential for fi.trure development in mind 

and character ro assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and 

governmenr." This puts evervone-faculry, staff and midshipmen-on the same 

wavelength. It also encourages a sense of spirit and pride found at few orher schools. 

Program 

The mor,11. mental and physical elements of our program are equally important, all 

contributing ro du: qualities of an outstanding naval officer. 

Acfldemics 

Every midshipman's academic program beg111s with a core curriculum char includes courses 

in engineering, science, machemarics, humanities and social science. This is designed ro give 

you a broad-based t:ducarion char will qualify you for practically any career field 111 the avy 

or Marine Corps. At the same rime, our majors program gives you the opporruniry to 

develop J particular area of academic interest. For c.:specially ,apable and highly motivated 

studenrs, we offer challenging honors programs and opporru111ries co start work on 

postgraduate degrees while still ac rhc Academy.

\X'c don'r jusr tdl you about life 111 the Navy and i\1arine Corps. Afi:er four years at the Na\'al 

Academy, the life and customs of the naval service become second nature. Firsr, you learn co 

r.1kc order� from practically c\'cryone, bur bcforc long, you acquire rhc rcspons1biliry for

making de1.1s1ons char can affecr hundreds of orher midshipmen. Your professional dassroom

studies are backed by many hours of pracncal experience in leadership and naval operations.

including assignments with Navy and i\larine Corps units during summer months.

i\loral and erhica.l development 1s a fundamental clcmenr of all aspects of rhe Naval Academy 

experience. As furure officers in thl'. Na") or Marine Corps, midshipmen will someday be 

rcspomible for the pnc:dcss lives of many men and women and multi-million dollar 

ct1u1pmcnt. From Plebe Summer through graduarion, rhe Naval Academy's Character 

Dc:vdopmenr Program is a four-year incegrated continuum char focuses on the atcribuces 

of trm:griry, honor. and murual respect. One of rhe goab of this program is ro develop 

micbh1pmcn who possess a clearer sense of their own moral beliefs and the ability co 

.m1culate them. Honor is emphasized through chc Honor Concept or the Brigade of 

Midshipmen-a system which was originally formulated in 1951 and srares 

"Midshipmen arc persons of inrcgriry: they stand for rhar which is righr." These Naval 

Ac,1de1m "words ro li\'c by" are based on chc moral values of respect for human dignity, 

respect for honesty and respect for the proper{) of ochers. Brigade Honor Commirrees 

composed l1f elected uppercla.ss m1dsh1pmen are responsible for educarion and rraining 

in the Honor Concept. /\l1dshipmen found in violation or the Honor Concept by their 

p<"ers ma} be separated from rhe Naval Academy.

Profile of Midshipmen 

le cakes a special kind of young man or woman ro handle the Naval Academy's demanding program, but chat doesn'r mean 

all midshipmen are alike. Midshipmen come from all 50 srates, U.S. cerrirories and several foreign counrries. They have roots 

in cities, suburbs, farms and ranches, small rowns and military bases. They have talents and hobbies of every kind and 

personalities chat fie every description, and rhey represenr the diverse ethnic and cultural heritages chat, cogerher, make the 

United States a great nation. Some characteristics seem co be common among Naval Academy midshipmen, however. The 

charts on these pages show you chat midshipmen are good srudcnrs, leaders in their high schools and communities and 

p.1rricipanrs in compccicivc sports. Bur ocher common qualities of midshipmen don't show up in scaristics. The young men

and womecn who choose the Naval Academy are looking for more than a college degree. They like the idea of being challenged

mencally, physically and personally. They are people who don't wane co sertle for the ordinary, the routine or the easy.

Midshipmen arc also patriots. They wanr 10 serve their counrry in a meaningful way-in a profession chat helped win 

chis nation's independence more chan 200 years ago. Finally, midshipmen are young people who look to the future. They 

look forward to the challenging Naval Academy program, as well as che opportunities open co them in the Navy and 

Marine Corps after graduation.

Our Comrnicmenr 

$erring apart the Naval Academy from almost every ocher college and university in the 

country is our commirmenc to rhe coral development of our srudenrs. Some other colleges 

offer more majors in academics. Some pur more emphasis on intercollegia.re athletics. Bue 

nowhere else do you have a better opporcuniry to grow intellccrually, personally and 

physically than ac rhe Naval Academy. If you arc chosen ro enrer che Naval Academy, we 

believe you can complete d11S cough, four-year program. In fact, we are committed to the 

principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up chat commitment with ... 

• Small class size. Mose classes have no more than 22 scudenrs. When you are an

upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five co IO ocher students. 

• Low studenr-co-fuculty ratio. Faculty members gee to know you personally

in and our or the classroom. They also are available to help with extra instruction or special 

projects. Ir's nor unusual to find professors and midshipmen burning che lace-night oil 

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

• Prorecced study time. Evening study period is reserved from 7:30 p.m. to midnight 

Sunday through Friday to help alJ midshipmen keep up wich their courses. Additionally, 

Nimirz Library, computer labs and other facilities are open for midshipmen use all day and 

evening, seven days a week. 

• Ac..tdcmic advising. To help you plan your curriculum, you ger group and individual

counseling as well as an academic adviser 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, monitor and evaluate your progress in academics, military performance and conduce. 

They also are ready to help in the evenc of problems, as are rhe academy's staff of chaplains 

and professional cou nsdors. 

• A sponsor program. Hundreds of families in che Annapolis area sponsor newlyarrived midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place co relax off campus. 

More than enough families volunreer ro give every midshipman a local sponsor. These 

concacrs often grow into deep friendships char lase a lifetime. 

Your Commitment 

Becom111g a midshipman ac the Naval Academy is a big seep. It's not like scarring your 

freshman year ar a civilian college. You make a commitment to live a military lifesryle. 

You cake an oarh of office, promising ro be loyal co your country and co defend it if 

necessary. You agree co be honorable in everything you do and say. You're also expected co 

work harder than you've ever worked before and ro push yourself beyond your old Ii mies. 

This is how we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of service as a naval officer 

and che opporruniries of a lifetime in che Navy and Marine Corps.

Life at the 

Na val Academy 

It would be 1mposs1ble to predict what four years at chc Naval Academy would be like for 

you personally. but we can describe our philosophy, our curriculum and che daily life you 

can expeu. Only when you experience the exhausting rigors of Plebe Summer, only when 

you face chc responsibility of commanding ocher midshipmen and only when you ch row 

your har into the air at graduation will you really know what the Naval Academy experience 

is all .1bouc. We can explain chat the four years at Annapolis are righdy structured. While 

thcrc: .ire m.111y ways you can pursue your 111dividual area!> of inreresr, a four-year program is 

rcqu1rc.:J of all m1dsh1pmen. In chis section, we wdl give you a general descnpnon of life at 

Annapolis. Lacer chapters give you che derails of rhe academic, achleric and professional 

training programs. 

Definitions 

Lc:t s scan,, nh a few basics. On your first day at rhe academy, you begin learning a whole 

new vocabul.iry of nauncal and Naval Academy terms. Beforc long, the floor is 'the deck,' che 

wall i, 'rhc: bulkhc:ad' and the restroom is 'rhe head'. Likewise, midshipmen seniority is stated 

in a w.1y diffcrcnt from tradiuonal college terms. 

All 1'.JJval Academy srudenrs, men and women, arc called midshipmen, which is a rank 

hc1wccn chief warranr officer and ensign in the Navy. A midshipman fim class is a senior. 

The student body is the Brigade of Midshipmen, or simply 'rhe brigade', and the naval 

,ervicc ofrcn is called 'the fleer'. The brigade is divided inro six battalions. Five companies 

make up each banalion, ma.king a total of 30 compa111es. The midshipmen command 

struuure I\ hc:aded by a first class midshipman, chosen for oursranding leadership performanLt co be bngade commander. He or she is responsible for much of rhe brigade's day-toJ.w ,tW\'llles as wdl as the professional training of midshipmen. Overseeing all brigade 

,icmmcs " the Commandant of Midshipmen, an accive-ducy Navy officer of rear admiral's 

r.rnk or .1bovc. Working for rhc commandant, experienced Navy and Marine Corps officers 

.uc assigned as company and barralion officers. 

Li, ing with Honor 

The I lonor Concept of the Brigade of :--t1dshipmen was esrnblished by midsh1pmcn to urge 

,111 hand, IO c,1rry out tl1t:ir duues w1rh the highest scme of personal inregmy and honor. Ir 

n.:prc:sem, thc minimum standard char m1dsh1pmcn are expected lO follow. I lonor, 1nregncy,

esscmial co a successrul Naval officer. The offenses or lying, cheating, and sLealing are 

inrolerable in Lhe brigade and may be cause for separation from rhe Naval Academy. The 

emphasis is on "doing what is right" rather rhan simply nor breaking the rules. 

To underscore rhcir commitment ro living a life or honor, midshipmen developed and 

1mplcmcmcd a living documem known as the Honor Treatise of the Brigade or /vlidsh1pmen. 

The Treatise.: is a positive and uplifring Statement direcdy from rhe midshipmen expressing 

who Lh<!)' arc and whaL Lh<:y are striving co achieve. In their own words, ir secs ford1 the 

common goals and ideals which midshipmen envision for themselves at the Naval Academy 

as well as in the ncec. The Honor Concept and Honor Treatise are the brigade's way of 

preparing its men and women for a life or honorable service co their country. After all, che 

rurnre or the.: Navy, Marine Corps, and Naval Academy relies on ics men and women, and 

their dedication ro strive co do char which is right. 

Four-Year Sununary 

The pull-oUl charc on che following page provides a diagrani showing che highlights of me 

Naval Academy's four-year program. Each year at the academy builds on the learning and 

experience of rhe previous year. As you complete basic courses and begin advanced srndies, 

you also cake on more responsibility in leading underclassmen at Annapolis and acting as a 

jumor officer during summer proress1onal craming with the fleet. 

Life in the Brigade 

No marrer what your backgrow,d, chances are rhe living arrangements at the academy are 

differenr from anything you have experienced. The day begins wich reveille and ends with 

lights out. You srand watches, march co meals and wear uniforms for almost everything you 

<lo. You and your room mares must keep your room ready for a milicary inspecrion at any 

time and keep your uniforms in regulation condition. Dcmerirs are awarded for a room or 

uniform rhac is not in proper order or "squared awa}'·" 

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

with one or more midshipmen and live in close proximity ro abouc 130 ocher midshipmen in 

your company. Jvlen and women midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. 

Each company has ics own living area, called the wardroom, for meetings and recreation. 

Midshipmen rooms are wired for computers, Internet access and phones.

Plebe Summer 

All midshipmen begin rht: four-year program with Plebt: Summer, a period designed co turn 

civili.u1s i11to m1<l5hipmen. Plebe Summer is no gentle casing inro the military rouLine. 50011 

after e11tcnng 1hc gate on Induction Day, you arc plll into unifom1 and caughr how co salute 

by the 11rst class midshipmen and officers who lead the plebe indocmnation program. For 

the next seven weeks, you srart your days at dawn wich an l10UJ of rigorous exercise and 

end them long afrer sunset, wondering how you will make ic through tht: next day. Forget 

television, lcisun: wne or movies. You will have bardy enough hours in the day co 11nish 

your assigned plebe tasks. 

The framic, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. Ir gets you ready for 

your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer training and the academic �·ear 

bt:gins. The summer abo builcl.s die foundation for che rangible and inrangible qualities that 

nuke ,lll outstanding naval officer. You learn self-discipline. You learn co organi:re your time 

and decide which things are most imporcanr. You reach cop physical condition. You develop 

your abilit) co chink clearly under stress and co react quickly when the unexpected comes 

your way. Any officer who has stood the watcli on the bridge of a ship in a storm or landed 

a jet on rht deck of an aircraft carrier ac night can cell you che importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer 1111roduces you co che basic how-t0's of che Navy as well. Aboard Naval 

Academy sailboats, you learn co respect the power of wind and currenr. In motor hoacs and 

rard patrol cr,1fr, you learn rhe basics of seamanship, navigation and boar handling. On che 

weapons r.mge, you learn how to fire small arms safely and accurarely. You also learn why we 

have high srnndards of honor, character and moralit)'. And, you begin to de\'elop your own 

ideas about leadership and rhc techniques chat will make you an effective leader when your 

turn come.s.

• Calculus I - Most begin here, some validate and are placed inro later calculus

courses and a few plebes nae adequately prepared for calculus rake a pre-calculus

course that does nor counr as pan of the minimum mathematics requirement.

• Chemistry I - Including laboratories.

• U.S. Governmcnr and Consrirucional Oen�lopmenr - The foundation of

Amt>rican democracy.

Mechanical Engineering Major 

The mechanical enginccring major, accrediu:d by rhe Engineering Accreditacion Commission of the Accreditation 

Board for Engineering and Technology. olfm one of the mosr diversified engineering programs available at die 

Na,"al Academy. In addition to an education in mL'Chanical engineering, the program prepares 1rs graduates to 

assume responsibilities in any of the warfure sp<ccialcies of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Manne Corps. lmmediate 

graduates will be in positions of responsibiliry invoking the op<cration an<l mainrenance of high technolog>· weapons 

sys1ems. As officers progress through thcir careers, many wiU assume positions of responsibiliry as managers of 

weapons sysrems developmem and procurcmenr. This dictates a program chat emphasizes a broad specrrum of 

undergraduare studies. The program thus includes required courses in solid and fluid mechanics, d)

�1an1ics, 

rhermo<lymurncs an<l energy systems, materials eng111ecring and a significam emphasis on electrical engmeering and 

comrol S)'Slems fundan1cnrak This broJd background in the fundan1encaJs of mechanical engineering prepares 

midshipmen to select dcaivc courses 111 any of the five cracks "�thin the mechanical engineering program. These 

tracks arc: energy sysrcms, enginL-ering mechanics, marine propulsion, materials engineering and nuclear engineering. A mi<l.lhipman may choose ro specialize in a panicubr area by selecting all of their major deccives in one 

track, or a more general approacl,cm be raken by selecting electives across several rracks. 

·11,e program takes seriously the nt't:d ro develop graduates who have a sound understanding of the design process

and its impomlllce in the succt'SS of engineering acriviry. Design cducarion in the program is focused in a sequence

of five courses beginning in the first semesrer of che sophomore year (EM2l 5, Ei\1375, EM371, Ei\14T', Ei\14,2),

which make up the design backbone. Each semester ocher courses which are more often identified with engineering

,;cience suppon the backbone through problems and small projecrs char build on conceprs ru,d cools developed in

die design core. 17,is approach weaves the subjects of design ru,d design cools imo die program as an inregraced

engineering activity.

A Navy or Marine Corps officer with a bachelor's degree in 111echru1ical engineering is well equipped for a wide 

variety of career assignments both ashore and afloat. Operanonal sea billers in surf.ice ships, submarines and 

aircraft squadrons provide many opportunities for a mechanical engineer co develop pracrical exp<cnence in a 

warfare or engineering specialty area while comribucing co neet engineering and marerial readiness. The operational 

environment enables a junior officer to rapidly dcvdop sound leadership and managerial abilirics while refining 

mechanical engineering capabilities acquired ai rhc Naval Academy. Ashore, rhe mechru1-ical engineer has a wide 

range or opportunities in sub-spt:t:ialry billets wirh naval applicarions. These include such areas as ship and aircraft 

design, propulsion sysrems, envtronmemal S)

'Stesms, advruiccd engineering cduocion, major project management

Department of Physics 

Physics Major 

The major program 111 physics presents fitndamenral physical concepc; and principles in such a 

manner a; to emphasize chm general uscfi.1lness and lays a strong foundation for further work in a 

broad range of rcchnical fidds. The challenge of physics lies in u1uting its laws and definirions, 

expressed through mathematics. wich che imegrative reasoning so essential in modeling and solving 

new problems. A bachelor of science degree is awarded. 

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

waves of all kinds, field concepcs, theory of relanv1ry, mechanics, decrromagnet1c cheor} and quanrum 

mecha111cs. All are studied with the object of developing an open-minded and creative approach co 

the: physical world and probll'.m solving-an approach increasingly important ro rhose who will be the 

leaders in the Navy of che future. The physics major is excellem background for most of che major 

career paths in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Recem major graduates ha'"e chosen the nuclear 

power program, Navy air, surface line and the Marine Corps. Opportunities for work roward 

advanced degrees are available ro qualified physics majors prior ro graduation, immediately after 

graduation and later in their careers. 

In phv�ics, bboracory work is emphasized and srudents wiU have access co eight laboratoric:s for 

regular coursework and research that include special fucilities for acoustics. atomic physics. nuclear 

physics. laser oprics and solid srnte physics. There are al.so four faculty research laboratories, a 

photogr:iphic darkroom and well-equipped machme and electronics shops. Major instruments include 

a Pellecron acceleracor. an 8-111ch Clark refracting telescope and a 20-inch refk'Ccing cdescope, an 

anechoic chamber. eleccron magnetic resonance .111d nuclear magnetic resonance fucilicies. h.igh 

resolution spectrographs. x-ray diffracrrometer, femtosccond and picosccond laser systems, a superconducting magnet, a helium dilULion refr

igerator, various cryogenic systems and numerous microcomputers for student use in data collection and processing.

The Center for the Study of Professional Military Ethics 

Amhorizcd by the Secretary of che Navy in I 998, che Cencer has an ambitious mission-to promote and enhance che ethical developmem of currem and fumre military 

lea<lers through education. research, and reflection. This mission charges the Center not 

only 10 work with and on behalf of Lhe midshipmen, faculty, an<l staff the Naval Academy, bur also ro reach out co the Navy, che Marine Corps, the Deparcmem of Defense, 

an<l beyond. The strong outreach dimension of its mission makes the Cellter w1ique 

among its service academy coullterparts, and ilS focus on military affairs, national defense, 

and imernarional security makes it unique among ethics centers in academia. 

The Center has three major program goals: 

I.) ·1o enrich rhe imellecrual life of the Naval Academy in the field of ethics. 

2.) ·

1o enhance the teaching of ethics in the military educarion and training systems, 

and beyond . 

.3.) To conduct execunvc and other outreach programs in ethics. 

Its Naval Academy programs indu<le: 

· A k-ccurc series, 111 which distinguished speakers address tmporram issues in ethics;

· Faculry/sraff ethics roundcables, in which a guest sd1olar or practitioner presenlS

work in progress for informal bm focused discussion by fucult) and staff.

· A competition and prize for the outstanding ethics essays written 111 t.he Naval

Academy·s core erh1cs course;

· Etlno far ,he jumor Officer, ,1 collection of case studies on ethical challenges facing

Navy .rnd Manne Corps jumor officers, produced in conjunction wirh the Naval

Academy Class of 1964 and presented ro every member of the graduanng class;

· Annual conferences on key topics in c1h1cs;

· Faculty research sponsored by the Center and published as Center oc<.as1onal

papers, case studies, or monographs; and

· "Educ; at the Mm�cs," wfud, brings together small groups of Midshipmen for an

mformal evening of pia..1, sodas. a movie, and a discussion of the ethical issues in the film. 

In it� first years of operation, four themes have emerged co guide the Center's furure pursuit 

of irs mission and program goals: 

To integrate et.hies and leadership. because successful leadership in rhe fullest 

sense 111 usr be eth i,-al b1dersh Ip; 

lo mcorpurate internanonal perspecrives .md participants, to enrich its work 

and co jJ1epare its parricipants for ethical decision-making in the imcrnacional 

strategic environment; 

le, make creative use of educ.1tmnal rechnoloro·, ro ensure a ,·ibrant ethics 

program well inro the twenty-first cenru,y; and 

Io balance unil.ireral and collaborative projects, the firsr ro establish d,c Cenrer's 

idemity and the second co expand its reach and efK'Ctiveness. 

The Cencc.:r's foun<lcrs, sponsors, and leadership clearly intend for it co be "a beacon" for 

cchic.:s, pointing the \\ay for midshipmen, officers, enlisted personnel, civil scrvams, and 

others outside the Depanmenc of Defense, and shedding choughrful and productive 

light on critical ethical challenges confronting lht: military, publi<- serv

Appendix A: Medical Considerations for Admissions 

l1for111111ton 1s also ,w(IJ!/lb!e 011 our Wt'bp/lge: www.11sn,1.ed11/Ad11ws1o11slmed1cn!.h1m. 

The Na"al Academy program 1s physically challenging. All candidares arc required to undergo a 

thorough medical cxaminarion because Academy graduares are comm1moned in a wide variery of 

c;xcmng career fidds, most of which impose exacting medical stanc.lardo. 

The Dcpamnent of Defense 1-.ledical Ex.1mination Review Board (DOD/\IERB) will Khcdulc your 

medical examination and review the report very carefully to determine if you meet our medical standards 

for admission. DODMERB will consider your medical history and information on illnesses, injuries, 

surgery, familial diseases, and other factors that could affect your medical starus. You might be asked co 

subnrn addl{lon,11 reporrs and/or records from physicians or hospitals. 

Approximacdy a month after your physical is completed you will receive (by mail) a status report of 

the DOOM ERB findings. If you have .i disqualifying condirion. the notification will ad, ise you how 

to request a waiver of the standard by writing co che Admissions Board if you would like us co 

consider your application further. If your admissions record is competitive, and if the disqualifying 

condioon is one for which a waiver might be possible, we will ask DODMERB to prepare your file 

for w,,i,•er consideration. You may have co provide amplifying information on the condition or 

undergo evaluation by a medical specialise. In mos, cases, we will seek independent review and an 

ad\'isory recommendation from the sraff of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Washington, D.C., 

where all questions involving commiss1onabilicy are resolved. Finally, the USNA Admissions Board 

will re,1ew your entire rec(Jrd. The Board will grant a waiver of rhe medical srandard if your record 

suggests the risk introduced b) the disqualifying condition is justified by your potential for success as 

a nmhh1pman and as a narnl officer. 

l\laior medical considerarions are summariLCd here so char you and your doctors can anticipate if you meec 

the bask requirements for adm1ss1on to the Academy. This is not meant to be a comprehensive lis1ing of 

all disqualifying condinons; It is a bnef and general summary for your convenience. 

Eyes and vision 

This 1s 1ht: mosr common probltm area for candidate.,. Our basic requirement for admission is normal 

(20/20) uncorrected visual acuiry in each eye. The Admissions Board auromatically considers waiver 

of 1he ,·,�ual acuity standard for candidates who are otherwise medically qualified, who have 

excc:ptional schobsric and lt:adcr,hip potential. and wh(J meet the following additional requirements: 

• , 1s1011 corrects 10 20/20 in each eye with spectacle eyeglasses;

• spherical refractl\'e error (the first of chc d1ree numbers in an eyeglass prescription) does 

not n.cecd +!- 6.00 diopters in either eye; 

• ,1stig111amm (the second number in the prescription) docs not exceed +/-3.00 diopters in 

c:1thn eye: and 

• the dilTercntL 111 refractive error between che two eyes docs nor exceed 3.50 diopters.

Howevc:r, for L,1nd1daccs unable to sec 20/20 without glasses, admission is more highly competitive. 

Abnormal rnlor percepnon is d1squal1fy111g. Requests for wa1\'er of the color "ision stanc.lard arc 

normally noL comic.kn:<l. Color vision is also retested on lnduccion Day.

to a !,mired number of excep11onal candidares whose heighr excee<l1 rhis scandard. 

The minimum qualifring we1ghr (bv height) standards are li,red in the cable. Because of subsrancial 

variarion in c.1ndid,ncs body composition, we apply an esrimaced body foe pcrcemage when a

measuremenu, (if rhesc were not recorded at che mm: of your inirial physical examination) with clear

Ex,1mination), your Blue and Gold Officer, a coach, or your school nurse to provide rhe inlormacion. 

In such cases, rhe qualifying scandar<l is the body far percentage: no more than 25 percem for men 

and 35 percent for women, as determined by our protocol. If your weighc 1s at least the minimum 

and nor more than che maximum shown for your height on rhe preceding cable, you will not be asked 

to provide measure1m:ncs for rhe body fur estimate.

As a Brigade we cherish the diverse backgrounds and talents of every 

midshipman yec recognize rhe common thread char unites us: che cruse and 

confidence of che American people. They have appointed us co defend our 

country by developing our minds, our bodies, and most especially, our 

moral character. 

It is our responsibility ro develop a selfless sense of duty char demands 

excellence borh of ourselves and of those with whom we serve. We muse honor 

our loyalties without compromising our ulcimare obligarion co che rrur.h. Our 

leadership must sec a standard chac reflects loyalty co our goals and rhe courage ro 

stand accouncable for all our actions, both chose char lead to success and to chose 

char end in failure. We will never serde for ach.ieving merely whar is expected of us 

bur will srrive for a standard of excellence char reflects rhe dedication and courage 

of chose who have gone before us. When we arrain our goal. we will raise our 

expecrarions; when we fall shore, we will rise up and cry again. In essence, we 

espouse leadership by example, a leadership rhar will inspire others to follow 

wherever we may lead. 

Counrless challenges and trials lie before us. We believe char chose 

with rhe srrongesr moral foundation will be the leaders who best reflecr rhe 

legacy of rhe Naval Academy. This is our call as midshipmen: it is a mission 

we proudly accept.
