<p>I have been reading about NAPS since that is where I will be going next year. I noticed that they have to report to the Naval Academy a day or two early then I day actually is?</p>
<p>Does anyone know why? Also do NAPS students get new uniforms or just keep the ones they got from NAPS?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>NAPSters (as they're called) are put to work helping process other plebes on I-Day. Side benefit is reuniting w/ NAPS friends before the real frenzy sets in. </p>
<p>NAPSters can reuse a couple pieces of their uniforms, but not all of them -- sorry, I forget which pieces, but son was happy to be rid of most as (a) they were worn out from constant use, and (b) he was sick of them!</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. What kind of processing things to the NAPSters help with? Don't we need to be processed ourselves?</p>
<p>i believe you get processed the day before. I know one napster was very helpful to the rest of the plebes in the company that first day, especially with making their racks and squaring rooms away.</p>
