KINGS POINT

[TheLeilisa]

Does swimming regularly make you grow taller?

[SKoGoMoney]

It's weird - every video I see involving the Navy has Breaking Benjamin playing lol!

And jeeze... Navy fitness standards appear to be pretty low!

[ultrapwner]

Hoping to get good grades and keep them and get into navy nuke once I graduate high-school in '14

[TheMudbug15]

it so ricdulous to see the cadet wear black boots when the rest of the navy people wear brown boots that what all us armed forces today it much better than black boots

[dwillpirate]

Umm, first it is pretty hard to tell what you are trying to say, being that you made zero complete sentences.

Second, most people in the Navy DO wear black boots. Marines wear the brown boots.

Third, Naval Academy students are Midshipmen, not cadets. Cadets go to Army or Air Force.

[dwillpirate]

No, but you can validate certain courses if you retained enough knowledge from a previous school

[TheMudbug15]

@jae71394 what do you mean if you enroll you still have to take 4 years in usna still they don't transfer credit you get a degree in science

[death4351]

they all suck miserably at swimming lmao

[TheHillProductions]

Best muscle type you can have is lean :)

Muschle doesn't float so too much is bad

[Semperfi1221]

@skinkboy123456789 If you can run, don't worry about it.

[JayLaxer]

@skinkboy123456789 haha ya i was thinking the exact same thing man. no worries. we skinny people hav a chance

[irishpride664]

90% were varsity athletes in high school

[SLASHISHAVEINGABASH]

i want to shoot an M4 Carbine for fun i used to have a Mini-Uzi BB gun and desert Eagle

[phantomfighter15]

thats cool well hopefully u make jets i wish u good luck

GO NAVY

[phantomfighter15]

thats really cool did u go to the summer seminar b4 u got accepted to the academy. Ur training to be a fighter pilot right

[dwillpirate]

No, I didnt go to summer seminar before I got accepted. But if you have the chance to do so, I recommend it. It isnt exactly like plebe summer, but you get the general idea, and depending on when you go you might actually get to see the previous class plebes.

I am not training to be a fighter pilot yet. I have a few months before I select which platform I fly. Hopefully I make jets, but we will have to see how my grades from primary turn out.

[phantomfighter15]

thank u what r u doing now that u have graduated r u in the Corps or navy

[dwillpirate]

Right now I am at the primary stage of flight training at NAS Whiting down near Pensacola, Florida.

[phantomfighter15]

[dwillpirate]

It is "Unknown Soldier" by Breaking Benjamin.

Good luck on getting in, hope it works out for you.

[PiTaBoI94]

[dgafbroUSA]

[Hibby37]

same here, see you guys there

[lentillover1]

I'll be right in there with you, man.

[dwillpirate]

Good luck. Hope you do well

[Omega1874]

Plebe middies have a harder summer than the other academies but their overall life is way more relaxed than Wespoint. And I do believe WP continues to be ranked ahead of Navy in just about everything besides football =(. Definitely still cannot get that one down haha. the only thing I will ever respect about the Navy is the SEALs. They are truly unmatched warriors.

[FearTheGoatPowell]

some day i am going there. with all i will do it!

[Skihawk161]

this will be my brother starting this summer

[dwillpirate]

I wish him the best of luck. Tell him to keep his head up and remember why he wanted to go there.

[Skihawk161]

haha he has the head for it, he is 6.3 beast at swimming but the 1st few weeks of the summer he will get his ass kicked

[torquethat]

OORAH GO NAVY!!!!! someday i will be a plebe!

[longluoluo]

is this in the Navy Boot camp? please anybody tell me

[dwillpirate]

No, it is Plebe Summer at the United States Naval Academy. This is a six week period (in some ways) similar to boot camp where Midshipman go through training to transform from civilian to military life. After they are done with plebe summer, they continue to do various training exercises pretty much until graduation four years later.

[netQ]

Thanks dwillpirate for your uploads! They have been very inspiring. I'm hoping to be a plebe this coming July 1st, waiting for a letter, any day now!

[FearTheGoatPowell]

WOO! I do think that is right. that is what sealls are based out of ''team work''!

[dwillpirate]

plebe summer is not a competition. Plebe summer is all about bettering yourself, WHILE, learning how to work with your team (squad). If you keep that same attitude and try to make yourself look better than everyone else, I promise you will go down in flames.

The best attitude is to push yourself to do your best everyday, but help your teammates even more.

P.S. Swimming counts for nothing during plebe summer, and very little during your four years at school.

I am currently in pilot training

[dwillpirate]

I certainly hope that if you get accepted you change your attitude about what you are there for...

[republican328]

go army
