[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in plebe summer now at USNA. One roommate and a squad mate are recruited athletes, and the physical aspects are a challenge even for them. I don’t have any insight on the recruiting process, but simply want to share that the physical demands are extremely high and tailor to all-around military fitness, not just specific technical skills for a sport. Just so your kid is aware that he/she won’t be only playing their sport, but will also be swimming, climbing obstacles, running through the woods, endless pushups, etc. [/quote]

Interesting. How’s your dc doing? Have you spoken to them much? You must be proud!!

Dc is generally aware of the physical demands (he’s visited each academy for overnights, so he’s had some exposure) but it will be good to remind him of them again. He now works out for 3-5 hours a day between lifting and practice, so he’s very confident, but a reminder won’t hurt. He lives for physical challenges so I’m hoping he takes to it.

USAF is still on the list and they tend to be less intense physically. That was a negative for dc when he visited. [/quote]
