The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is seeking top performing, energetic Sailors and Marines from the Active and Reserve Components who have demonstrated strong leadership for admission to the USNA Class of 2030. Among each USNA class is a corps of prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines who infuse peer-level fleet experience into the Brigade of Midshipmen. Years from now, these young men and women from all walks of life will lead our fleet. Commanding Officers (CO) are encouraged to identify motivated enlisted personnel who meet the criteria and may be good candidates for selection to the USNA. 2. Successful candidates will be top-quality Sailors and Marines who fit the following profile: a. Academics (1) Possess a strong high school grade point average indicating the potential to succeed at the USNA. Fleet applicants ranked in the top 40 percent of their high school class are typically considered competitive. (2) Typically completed 4 years of mathematics, including a strong foundation in geometry, algebra, and pre- calculus, 4 years of English, and 1 year of chemistry. Additionally, physics, history, and 2 years of a foreign language are strongly recommended. Continued education since high school is vital; candidates are encouraged to strengthen their application with college courses that include calculus, English, writing, and sciences. (3) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores taken within the last 2 years. Applicants should aim to score above 500 in reading (verbal) and above 550 in math, with a combined minimum of 1050. For applicants who have taken the American College Test (ACT) within the last 2 years, scores of 22 in English and 24 in Math are recommended. Potential candidates with SAT or ACT scores that are older than two years should inform the USNA Fleet Coordinator the reason the tests were not taken. Extensions will not be granted without valid justification and proper documentation from the candidate's command. b. Top performers who have demonstrated or possess strong leadership (e.g., past and present Command Junior Sailors/Bluejackets of the Quarter/Year, top 20 percent performers in "A" and "C" schools, class leaders, Honor Guard members, and community volunteers). c. Good moral character and unquestionable loyalty to the United States, as determined by a command interview and military recommendations. d. No record of disciplinary action under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice, or conviction by civil court (except minor traffic violations) during the 3 years preceding application for admission. Waivers are considered on a case-by-case basis. e. Outstanding physical fitness. In addition to passing the candidate fitness assessment in the USNA application, candidates need to have demonstrated the ability to pass the USNA physical fitness requirements within the last year. The USNA physical readiness test standards (minimum passing scores) are: (1) Push-ups (2 minutes): 71 (Male), 39 (Female). (2) Front Plank: 2 minutes and 40 seconds (2:40) (Male), 2 minutes and 30 seconds (2:30) (Female) (3) 1.5 Mile Run: 10 minutes and 30 seconds (10:30) (Male), 13 minutes and 15 seconds (13:15) (Female). f. Must not have passed their 23rd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission to USNA. No age waivers will be considered. g. Must not be married, pregnant, or have incurred obligations of parenthood. h. United States Citizen by Induction Day (I-Day). 3. Candidates with superior academic performance and strong military backgrounds may receive direct appointments to the USNA. Top performers who need to strengthen their academic background may be selected to attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Newport, RI for 1 year and receive an appointment to the USNA the following year. 4. Personnel selected to attend the USNA or NAPS must be medically qualified by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) to be commissioned as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. Once candidates begin submitting application documents, their name will be sent to DoDMERB for the physical and eye exams. The candidate will be contacted by Department of Defense Medical Exam Testing System, the DoDMERB contractor, with information on where to receive the physical and eye exams. The candidate will be contacted by the USNA Fleet Coordinator with information on how to get the physical and eye exam completed at their own military treatment facility, as an alternative. Reference (a) provides medical standards. 5. Up to 170 active and reserve personnel may be appointed to the USNA each year. The deadline to apply to the class of 2030 is 31 December 2025. The deadline for all completed application documents is 31 January 2026. Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their application as soon as possible. Packages completed before 31 January 2026 will be reviewed by the admissions board as soon as they are received. Packages will not be reviewed without the CO's endorsement.

      COMMANDER'S INTENT GUIDANCE FOR INTEGRATED SUICIDE PREVENTION

      CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED/ ROUTINE R 262028Z JUN 25 MID180001821944U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 055/25 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/JUN// SUBJ/COMMANDER'S INTENT GUIDANCE FOR INTEGRATED SUICIDE PREVENTION// RMKS/1. In the pursuit of national security objectives, the sustainment of Sailors and Marines is paramount to optimizing Quality of Service and enhancing mission readiness capabilities. Even under demanding operational tempos, leaders must create opportunities for their Service Members to rest, recharge, and reconnect. 2. Establishing routines and healthy habits increases individual well-being, resilience, and warfighter readiness. Therefore, I urge all Navy and Marine Corps commanders to emphasize the following three elements in their commander's intent guidance, to the extent practicable within mission requirements: a. Predictable Schedules: Maintain regular duty schedules and support Sailors, Marines, and their families during unexpected shifts, and, whenever possible, prioritize advance leave requests. b. Focused Communication: Limit after-hours and off- shift communications to mission-critical or safety-related matters. c. Restorative Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep opportunities (as outlined in Department of Defense Instruction 1010.10, "Health Promotion and Disease Prevention," Change 3, 16 May 2022). 3. I encourage all leaders to recognize that the health and well-being of our personnel is a force multiplier for mission success. Cultivating healthy command climates is crucial for mitigating stressors that can contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors, so commanders must find that vital balance between operational needs and the welfare of their Sailors and Marines. 4. The integration of these three components is essential to the maintenance of optimal resilience and mission readiness necessary for the protection of the Nation. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the health of our Navy and Marine Corps family. 5.
