Hello. I need some advice for my first meeting with a BGO. I contacted him in order to know more about the Naval Academy and to see if it’s the right choice for me. What should I wear because I want to leave a good impression but I don’t know what to wear? What did you guys do on your first meeting with a BGO? Thanks.
If it is your very first meeting, make sure you wear something nice(doesn’t need to be formal or anything like that, but also shouldn’t be shorts and a sweatshirt) Wear a polo shirt or a button down with khakis. My first meeting with my BGO was actually my admissions interview, so that will be different than yours. In that one, the BGO will also take some notes, and will have some required questions. Since this one is not an evaluative interview, you should definitely have some questions to ask the BGO. Also, do a bit of research beforehand, so you don’t ask any super obvious questions that could easily find on the internet. It is always cool to hear of their personal experiences both at the academy and in the service, so you might want to ask about this.
