<p>I am a mom of a candidate for the class of 2010. A Navy mom asked me if I had seen the video available about the academy. Does anyone know how I can get it?</p>
<p>During my BGO interview, he showed me a video about USNA which he said was a required part of the interview.</p>
<p>I believe many High School Guidance offices have it. Or get from your BGO.</p>

<p>Dad2b, you are so helpful! Thank you!</p>
<p>No problem!
His website @ <a href="http://www.empirevideo.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.empirevideo.com</a> has VHS for $15.95 and DVD for $19.95 but no buy direct online links.</p>
<p>BTW: I haven't seen it yet, however my son has seen it 3 times now (NASS, BGO, CWV). It is actually a signoff for the BGO Interview, making sure the candidate has seen it.</p>
<p>you might also consider: Surviving West Point. It's obviously not on USNA, however, National Geographic does an excellent job of illustrating life at a service academy.</p>
<p>I agree with WP2010. "Surviving West Point" is a terrific way to glimpse the entire first year at any academy. It includes 14 one-half hour episodes so you'll see definitely see quite a bit. Here's a link to the best price I found: </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Surviving West Point well worth the money to gain a glimpse into any of the academies....don't overlook reading "Absolutely American" by Lipsky as well.....a "must read" for parents as well as candidates!</p>
<p>Last year, "To Lead and to Serve," was on the CD that was included with the USNA catalogue. Is the CD included with the 2006 catalogue?</p>
<p>GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!</p>
<p>Yes, that is why the high school guidance office should have it. There is no 2005-2006 catalog until spring as I understand it.</p>
<p>What, no catalog sent to official candidates? Gosh, last year the catalog and application were sent to candidates in mid-June. I know that both the application and catalog are online now, but I wonder if that provides equal access to all applicants. On the other hand, I guess it's just more cost effective. Come to think of it, all of the University of California applications were online. </p>
<p>"To Lead and to Serve" is continuously shown at the USNA visitors' center, and it's available at: <a href="http://www.navyonline.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.navyonline.com/</a></p>
