<p>you have to be loud, a bit cocky, aggressive to make it in the fleet. that description seems like a negative but it’s really not. if you’re not naturally a crowd pleaser, life will be hard for you. sailors and the wardroom don’t care about your gpa and usna is realizing that.</p>
<p>Good lord - no wonder I haven’t been on this board for years! My son’s a firstie, and I began coming here as a plebe parent, then left in disgust at the nonsense that was so prevalent in the threads.
I came here to quickly check on the 01 Dec 2010 date I’d heard for Service Selection. Within a dozen or so posts, I found this thread had been hijacked by some (parent? alumni? who knows?) with a desperate need for attention. And a desperate need for some psychiatric attention, IMHO.</p>
<p>Anyway, got the info I needed. And now - adieu, adios, and goodbye again.</p>
<p>goodluck to those who want pilot and everyone else. i hope you get what you want. service selection would be tomorrow, right? anyways good luck</p>

<p>First-classmen apparently out celebrating service postings</p>

<p>Two midshipmen were arrested early Thursday morning for destruction of property and burglary after a night of drinking ostensibly celebrating service selection day, when mids are informed where they will serve after graduation.</p>
<p>This will be intriguing to watch. One is a 4th generation USNA Mid …and son of an admiral. It would seem the new Supe will be put to a real test.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And a star D-1 varsity athlete.</p>
<p>I’m confident that Admiral Miller will not allow the honor and integrity of the USNA to suffer at the expense of D-1 athletics as it did under that last failed administration.</p>
<p>GoNavy2011 are you referring to me?<br>
I hope not because I say the truth.</p>
