I graduated from USNA in 1984. Interesting to see that while many of the details have changed, so much remains the same. Nicely done.

Literally everyone: Why are you vlogging? Justin: Yes

Please don’t be another USMA/USNA you tuber that just randomly stops uploading your amazing keep going!!!

Finished the application for the class of 2026 a few weeks ago. My advice to applicants: GET IT DONE. It will get VERY discouraging at some points but that’s the idea. Fully completing USNA’s application is an accomplishment in of itself. It requires you keep your head down and step out of your comfort zone. It requires you to ask for help. If you’re currently a High school Junior, begin your research now! Apply to summer seminar! You’ve got this!!

I am currently a senior in high school waiting to hear back from the academy and this video is amazing. There aren’t that many people on KZfaq that are vlogging at USNA so I would definitely love to see more come from you. Keep up the great work! Also maybe in the future invest into a better camera! Go Navy! Beat Army!

this is awesome

I applied to the class of 2026 and am still waiting to hear back. The application process was no cake walk but even if I am not accepted I know the experience in of itself was totally worth it! This video helped me to get an inside perspective of what life at the academy would be like for me, so thank you! Good luck to everyone else who applied or plans to apply in the future. Go navy beat army!

By far the best insight I’ve seen into the day of a Midshipman. Thank you very much for sharing a day with us!!

I went to the USNA 2023 Summer STEM program, it was one of my best memories of the entire summer. Now I'm going into 9th grade- hope you can see this :) Nice documentation

It made me really happy watching this. I'm a senior at uc riverside, currently and we have just about the same structure life style. I also really soke it in, take pictures in the mirror etc. Up at 0400, gym, class at 0800, hit the pool deck and track around noon-afternoon. It's a schedule I really enjoy and can really feel it when watching this. I am also omw to the Navy brother. Thank you for the video.

People were making fun of you for vlogging but this is so great. tysm for this

Applying this Spring! Can't wait to be here. Thanks for showing how things are like.

What a fantastic vid. Hard work and a wonderful education will take you far cadet. What you have already accomplished puts you head and shoulders above your peers in the country. Outstanding!

Great video! Thank you very much for taking the time to record this and give us some very interesting insight into your life.

Thank you for doing this, truly. Please continue with these!

I loved this! I am just a sophomore in high school but am trying to get ready for applying to a service academy. I had some doubts on whether or not I wanted to do this but after watching this video this is definitely something I want to work towards. Thanks

Dude, I really liked this video, now I know what to expect when I get there, I hope that you keep doing videos like this. It also looks like a cozy place. !Go NAVY! always beating the Army.

This was a really cool and insightful video! thank you for sharing this with us

so awesome, my son just started plebe summer. you are a very inspiring young man, thank you for sharing your day in the life. GO NAVY!!

Thank you for your service! We appreciate you and all your doing!

Thrilling to see this -- thanks for taking the time and effort to share it!

Great school. I particularly like when everyone stand up to greet instructor and before class dismissed.

This is cool. My family sponsored Mids growing up and I got to create long lasting friendships with my sponsor brothers and sisters from the Academy, many still serving today.

I love your video. I show it to my 8-year son and let him know about the life in Navy academy. It reminds me of my 2-year military life while I was serving in the air force in Taiwan between 1993-1995!!! very well-made video!!

Well done! Stunning to see so many similarities to my Class of '87 experience.

awh you have the math teacher that yells whenever someone yawns. i’m sad she’s retiring

Excellent job! Keep it up! Nice to see what a real Naval Academy day looks like!!

I have so much respect for all you young people who do this job to serve your country 🇺🇸👍❤️. God bless you all

Thanks for the video and for allowing us to have a glance at your routine in the Academy.

The academy seems to have a very good vibe. Relaxed and friendly. BTW, the gym looks awesome!

Thanks for sharing! My youngster is Kyle Jung Company 9, class of 2022. Nice to visually see the goings on in the yard!

I’m a senior commenting to say I’ll be applying this cycle, and am super inspired by your vids! Wish me luck

I love how you still make time to read the word! Praise the Lord! Also love your video, great job!

Wow you guy and girls are kicking ass. Thank you for all of your dedication

Hi Justin. Very much enjoyed your video. You did a great job in providing a comprehensive look at your typical day. I'm also impressed with your being in the Academy! They don't take just anyone... I was in the Navy from 09-09-1970 to 07-01-1976. I served on the nuclear attack submarine USS Haddo SSN 604. God Bless you for your service to your country!!

Just got my appointment to West Point last week. Hoping to get one from navy as that is my top choice! Thank you for making this video if gives us a good idea of what to expect, at least I hope it does😅. Glad to see so many people adamant about serving our country!

Great video keep it up! I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future!

This is so amazing - the young cadets are so up and at it, so energetic even in the early morning. Even a textbook called Nautical Navigation.

Que rotina perfeita! Parabéns pelo vídeo!

Good luck ! My dad was class of 59. So proud of that guy, he could do ANYTHING

Love it!! Great music too!

I was in the first class of BOOST...now STA-21. Injured back and had to drop. Ended up getting commission with Air Force years later. Thanks for the video.

Nice vlog! Glad to see more people doing it. 😎 Keep up the great work!

@JC You had a gorgeous Navy women in you chemistry class. Thank you for showing this video. It's good for people to see military life at the academy's. You had tough classes as a freshman.

I'm a freshman in high school and have always wanted to be in the military. My father is/ was a chaplain at the academy there last year soooooo I kinda want to join after seeing and hearing all about it. Thanks for the vlog💕

I am in 10th grade and prospecting possible colleges, my father is a 1990 graduate. after watching this I am fired up and ready to commit to getting accepted to USNA! Thank you so much for inspiring me! GO CLASS OF 2029! BEAT ARMY!

Thanks for the insight, they do keep you guys busy.

Thank you for posting this!!!! My boyfriend will be leaving for USNA in a month and I don’t know what he’s doing while he’s up there

Thanks for that view of Plebe life. Quite different from when I was a Plebe. Lee Mager USNA 1965. And, Beat Army!!!

Good job Justin! Keep update us

Thank you for sharing! I applied to USNA was not accepted. This video gave me a glimpse of being a Mid Shipment! Best of success!

Have two friends who go to the academy. Nice to see what a day in the life is like for you.

Just got my rejection letter, but seeing this made me smile. The Academy was my dream for so long. I hope you are enjoying your time there. I loved the video and would love to see more!

super awesome ty for sharing glad you are living your dream. The female cadet at 4:14 is super beautiful and obviously smart and a patriot being at the academy tell her we're rooting for her. Best wishes to you all.

My nephew Cj 💙 join the Navy Academy on the 30th of June 2022.He came back from the Navy Academy after staying in for 4month.he is working to finish the next 4yrs .Its was rough when he went in. But now he is learning to adjust..

Wow this video is great! I want to go to the USNA someday so seeing this is awesome!

Thank you for shooting this video. Love it!

As someone whose CVW just got cancelled this video was super helpful!!

I just got an appointment to USNA class of 2026, and I can’t wait!! Thank you for sharing!!

Bro, I had to stay here over part of the summer when I was younger for the Navy Volleyball camp and boy, were those stairs a NIGHTMARE every night after working out the entire day every day.

A few of my friends are there in their Plebe year right now, it seems like a lot of fun and hard work.

Great Video! Keep up the good work.

I’m currently a sophomore, and my dream is to attend the Academy. I’ll be applying for the summer seminar next year, and submitting my preliminary application. Pray for me and wish me luck! Great vids man, I love all of them!

I enjoyed this. Subbed. Keep it going 👍🏼

You look like your doing good! Keep these videos coming :D

Hi, thanks for sharing this video, about your daily life in Naval academy. This is very interesting and yeah amazing... All the best for you ☺️👍🏻💯🇺🇸

Really cool video, great work for your first vlog

I know your roommate Ryan Alexus!!! He was a Chief in our Sea Cadet unit. It's so cool that you guys were roommates!

Playing water polo for navy too! Class of 2024

awesome video! my husband and I started dating his junior year at the academy. I can't believe he had anytime for me!!

This was really insightful! Thank You

Great content. Thank you, sir!

I was waiting to see the gym and here I saw it thanks a lot for your effort

Hey, that was interesting! I was always curious about the academy (I had to decide between the USNA and UCLA - chose UCLA) You look like you're doing well - good luck to you and keep uploading videos.

My dream schools are the Academies and watching this makes me wanna go even more!

I got so confused when you were walking to the dining hall. I was like "why is this kid filming at the night when he is filming a day video." Then I realized that it was like 7:00 in the morning and still dark, lol.

To go to the USNA is my dream, I have a long way to go physically and mentally but I am excited to work on myself throughout the next 4 years of high school. This video gave me insight on my dream and how to achieve it.

Love the video man keep it up

This honestly looks like a super motivated enlisted bootcamp plus college courses

Great video....Seamanship and Nav....not many today that can take evening stars....and get a pinwheel fix. Old federal service academy grad myself....Thanks for posting. Following Seas

Day in the Army basic training. Morning, drill screams, "Red Line!" Recruits(cadets) scramble outside their rooms into the hall to stand at attention, they present the drill with all their morning supplies, drills inspect each recruit for a clean shave etc. Navy cadets got it easy.

I’m currently enlisted in the Navy and heading to bootcamp in July. Never had thought for going to the academy but it looks great !

This looks so calm...

I noticed that high end Aruba access point on the ceiling, glad to know the Navy has good (and expensive) taste in wifi (I just hope they fine tune it with Voyance).

Great video. Thanks. Best of luck ! 🇺🇸

I go to Chapel Hill rn, but it's tempting to try and transfer to the academy because of how rewarding the experience seems.

Applying to the Academy for the second time this year hoping to get in for the class of ‘28. Love this video

Very, very different that it was many years ago for the class of '71! I wondered because I live in Colorado and go down to Air Force academy for the games with Navy and I was shocked to see Plebes from Navy attending the games.

This is completely awesome thanks for the post GO Navy however I grew up an Army brat lol outstanding what yall do

Great the Academy is doing these videos. Just wish you could have access to better cameras or equipment. Thank you all for your service. GO NAVY

Wow we really all lived the same day to day. This is great.

Outstanding!

My favorite firstie👌👌

Sick video my man! Currently a sophomore (9 weeks till summer!!!!!!) trying to work my ass off to get into USNA (or any other SA lmfao). top 12% in my class and doing sports, trying to do better in both

Dope, I’m hoping I get accepted into the summer seminar program in the next week or sk

This is very informative thank you!

That was an awesome video. Really nice. I enjoyed watching the video. What is the name of the song in your video where can I find it. Please let me know. Thanks. Keep up the great work.

My dad was Class of '53 & it was fun to imagine him going thru a day like you did (altho somehow they all did it w/o a computer back then). He was an NCAA All American Fencer for the Academy. Sadly, I hear it is just a club sport now which is sad considering it's a military academy and everyone has a sword. I grew up in Annapolis, but unfortunately USNA was never a possibility for me because it was before they admitted women. Dad actually enlisted right out of high school (he never applied despite showing leadership & academic skills in high school & was an Eagle Scout) and was eventually sent to NAPS and got his appointment that way. He served on mine sweepers mostly out of Norfolk & Charleston. Dad was a good guy, I miss him.

I was studing in Heroica Escuela Naval Militar from México, and the freshman's life is really different.

Hey man, Nice!
