<p>I am planning on attending the CVW for this weekend, but I cant find a packing list. What should I bring with me?</p>
<p>my friend was invited to a cvw. he said to check the usna calendar and see what activities are planned for that weekend. briing one set of clothes to work out in b/c you will participate in one athletic activity. also one set of nice clothes. and rest can be biz casual. did you receive your invite yet ? i was invited to the march weekend too. let's stay in touch. KB</p>
<p>My son's letter for March says to bring:
tasteful, comfortable, casual clothes
pillow
sheets/linens
towel
toiletries
workout gear
swim wear</p>
<p>are you juniors or seniors ?</p>
<p>It's easier to bring a sleeping bag than sheets. Also, it isn't necessary but my BGO told me (and the plebe I stayed with was really appreciative) to bring some type of junk food for them. I had talked to my plebe on facebook before I got there and asked him what his favorite candy was, he was ecstatic.</p>
<p>CVW is only offered to HS seniors who are candidates for the upcoming class.</p>
<p>My son is going on the March weekend. Does anyone know why they will be swimming? Are any of you parents going up for the weekend?</p>
<p>Saturday morning SMT for the Company Plebes may include swimming. Can join in if they want or not.</p>
<p>you prolly wont swim, but there is a small chance of it.</p>
<p>It really depends on your plebe and their schedule. When I went to my CVW in November, I brought all the stuff and didn't need really any of it. My plebe didn't have rugby practice and didn't work out while I was there due to a knee injury. We didn't swim. So, I wore "conservative clothes" all weekend.</p>
<p>My advice: take the work out clothes/swim wear just in case. But realize that it's kind of up to you and your plebe's schedule.</p>
<p>So when or how do you find out who your plebe is? We have the letter, but I dont recall it mentioning the plebe....</p>
<p>one will choose you when you arrive. it's kind of a random process. unless you are a recruited athlete, then everything is prearranged.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s not exactly true. When I went in November, all of us were already assigned to plebes, which is how my plebe found me on Facebook two days before I went up.</p>
<p>^^^ That is not the norm and there could be another reason why you were pre assigned. Normally it is a random process when you arrive. Many times the Plebes who will drag do not even know they will be dragging until late in the week.</p>
<p>Have you ever heard of a junior gettinig invited to CVW ?</p>
<p>No. It’s called Candidate Visit Weekend because those who are invited are official candidates. To be a candidate, one must have submitted a preliminary application (or NASS application) for admission and have high enough test scores/grades to have been given a candidate number. NASS applications are only accepted starting 1 February of junior year of HS, and preliminary applications are accepted later than that. When my daughter contacted USNA prior to her junior year of HS, she received a nice letter telling her that she was too young to apply and a color brochure.</p>
<p>Of course, for every “rule,” there could be exceptions… What about it, all you BGOs?</p>
<p>As above, I’ve never heard of a junior being asked to CVW. Juniors have the opportunity to apply for the Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS) which I highly encourage. HS students are not identified as Candidates until the admissions cycle officially begins sometime after NASS.</p>
