Naval Academy

[sball]

What are the chances of going to the Naval Acedemy after A school. My son is questioning this and toying with applying if it is a possibility. He got in some trouble in High School (a fight) and was charged a misdemeanor. Would this disqulify him from attempting to go the the Academy?

Charged or convicted? I am assuming convicted, but there is aBIG difference between the two!

The details of the fight in the police report might help mitigate the situation (ie. defending mom's honor) or be a solid No-Go (ie. drunken racial hate crime). You can also help to negate the blemish by obtaining letters of recommendation from key players and prominent positions. (school admin, teachers, local PD brass, church, community leaders, elected officials at all levels, etc,.... ) Outstanding performance & exemplary conduct since the fight is also of vital importance. Even with a spotless record, "average" really does not make it to the academy.
