The decision to attend the Naval Academy is a major one.  Before you make that kind of commitment, you will want answers to many questions about the academy and the naval service.  We want to help you make the right decision.

In addition to the Candidate Guidance Office located at the Naval Academy, another important resource to help you find out all you can about the academy and the professional opportunities available after graduation, is your Blue and Gold Officer.  The Candidate Guidance Office coordinates this nationwide network of trained Naval Academy Information Officers.  These officers, located in every state, are well qualified to counsel you on all aspects of the Naval Academy.  Your school guidance office should be familiar with your local Blue and Gold Officer.

In addition to being a source of information and counsel, an official interview with your Blue and Gold Officer is required in order to complete an application.  Contact with your assigned Blue and Gold Officer should be established immediately upon receipt of a Naval Academy application packet.
