I'm trying to plan my summer, and I'm curious when new recruits (plebes) are supposed to report to the Naval Academy. Does anyone know when Induction Day typically happens?
Induction Day for plebes, also known colloquially as I-Day, at the United States Naval Academy typically occurs at the end of June or the beginning of July. It officially marks the beginning of Plebe Summer, which is the rigorous six-week training period designed to transition incoming freshmen from civilian life to military life. You should expect to receive a detailed schedule from the Academy closer to your anticipated enrollment, but in recent years, I-Day has often fallen on the last Thursday of June. This day signifies the start of your journey at the Naval Academy, and it's when you would report to the institution for your first day. However, please do verify with the official Naval Academy communication because dates can vary from year to year.
