- Follow me into an exclusive look into what plebes have to go through during plebe summer. Plebe summer is the "boot camp" phase at the Naval Academy where freshmen make their first induction into the Brigade of Midshimen.
If you didn't know, my name is Justin Chu and I am currently a sophomore studying Robotics and Control Engineering at the US Naval Academy. I currently play Division 1 Water Polo at USNA and am looking into making new vlogs about my journey in college.
If you guys are new to the channel please like, subscribe, and let me know what I should film next!
DM me about any questions or video ideas and I'll get back to you } @justinwjchu
can you show us more about day in the life’s? i love those types of vids
As a fourth class Cadet at USAFA, the first scene gave me PTSD lol
Congrats!!!
JC... Iam From Indonesia... can you interview a two midshipmen from indonesia a class of 2025... both of them is the first indonesian midshipmen in history as accepted in USNA...

How’s it going so far?
@@jdl2327 it’s rough but worth it. you can do anything if you want it enough!!
After watching these videos for the past 3 years... I'm 100% going to miss these!
Love to see your female teammates running thru the courses. Best wishes to you all
Hey JC! I love your videos and you inspire me to work extremely hard in school and athletics. Thanks JC! Keep it up!
The climbing and zip lining POV shots are A+++++++++++++++++++++++!
謝謝你製作這麼棒的影片，紀錄一切回憶。在Taiwan我兒子會看你的影片，現在他也在USNA,他很興奮的告訴我，他遇見你並和你說話😄
我兒子也要進去了⋯⋯
Looks like you midshipmen have it easy! USMA 1988 grad here. Interesting that you did live fire training with pistols -- not once did I get to use one as a cadet (everything small arms were rifle, machine gun, or grenade launcher).
This 14 year old is preparing for USNA Class of 2029 Combat Arms Team

Thank you to your videos!
I do wonder how any Mid has time to post CZcams videos though. in the 90s Plebes weren't even supposed to have radios, much less cell phones. lol
Third herd representing. Hooyah!
This is going to be good! Wait you weren’t a detailer were you?
He just became a junior so he is considered now “Upper class” So he may volunteer for jobs with the Freshman and shopmores
@@thyluveli I think he is a sophomore not a junior
@@austinconnors2871 he’s a junior
@@thyluveli yea mainly detailing but also sea trials and stuff
@@austinconnors2871 He is a junior he just came out of 2 year
JC is the training to get th3 future navy soldiers prepared for service and they need the training for the physical part of this service
Really cool. Editing 10/10
I'm currently a freshman in high school and have been looking to get into the Naval Academy for years now. Currently, I maintain pretty good grades and take all honors classes along with one AP course. I'm involved in student government, I play an instrument, and I play JV baseball and wrestling. I know the importance of checking the boxes off early, so I'm looking for any suggestions to get ahead before applying.
Check out my video on how to get in! You sound pretty strong already. Make sure to do well on the SAT/ACT !

That looks a lot more fun than NAPS indoc
Hey man just wanna say live the vlogs. But was wondering since I really want to play football here at navy, what’s a day in the life of a navy football player?
I'll look into it. thanks
Do a tour and look around of king hall!
ur vlogs are amazing and one of my many inspirations to join the usna. Learning about the prgrams, and day to day life keeps inspiring me. Any chance we''ll see another vlog soon?
Yes keep holding on!
@@navalaviation LETS GOOOOOO, btw where u at the army navy game?
@@spectral5734 Im studying at the korean naval academy rn
@@navalaviation ohhhhhh sweet. so you get to study abroad? That sounds really cool, how do you like it there?
@@navalaviation Also how long are you staying there for?
Amazing
the dude who said “it should take this long” his voice sounds like it’s been through hell
I wonder what happens when the immediately close the doors on I day.

In 1976 , I was in United States Army as a WAC! Ft. Jackson S.C. N.G. , NCO school, then 1979 went in Active Duty. BEST TIME OF MY LIFE! I was PFC , SP4-SP5 ( was up for SP6) active duty went PVT one rank below , the rank you were last on active duty. Sour 💊. As FYI learn the people under you. Before you jump on someone, they might now more than you now. One captain, 2 SFC LEARNED THE HARD WAY.😊. YES SP4 that learns and uses the open door, bites back harder. Capt. on carpet 2x … SFC’s loss one rank and removal from post.😊
Thanks man
What about 'Come Arounds' and what's with sitting normally at meals? And water bottles - we didn't get water bottles! 😀
YESSSSSSS I LOVE IT
How old is this video? Why sometimes the plebes wore masks and other times they don’t? What trainings do plebes required and allowed to participate? USAFA have very cool and useful programs.
This seems so fun! Im either going to VMI in Virginia or USNA. I have a letter of recommendation from a general in the army for going to VMI so I might go their for better odds. What do you think?
Are the plebes already in the school? Or is this the test where only 8% actually make it? If all these people are already in when is the test where they cut 92%? Love the videos, very interested, and would love to meet you in two years when I make it into the school!
Your statistic is off. Plebe summer is THE TEST when all freshmen are tested. About 100 people quit I’d say throughout the boot camp phase. Less than 10%
Another link in the chain. #Getsome!
hey @JC im going to the waterpolo camp at the naval academy this summer, any advice
Muito bonito 👏
🔥🔥🔥
When does PS happen the summer before you go right?
Yes
Hey JC how much do plebes get yelled at?
yes.
A lot
Would you mind coming back to NAPS next year and doing the detail there?
Love the asian representation in the military!
As an officer do u need to have a degree in what you’re gonna do in the navy?!? Or is the degree just a side thing?
Degree is just on the side
Can you make a video about usna cadets’ physical strength? like how fast you should be able to run in order to follow the curriculum
Run 1.5 miles in under 10 min and 30 sec.
Sad y’all don’t do more weightlifting
Go Navy, Go 1st Company!
Question, so I’m currently working at Navy OCS and there’s a program here called NAPS. What exactly is it?
It's the Naval Academy Preparatory School. You spend a year there and go straight into the Academy after
Where you at the army-navy game this year?
In Korea! Studying at the korean Naval academy rn
@@navalaviation Oh thats awesome dude, good for you!
Is it difficult to get an expert medal?
Is it mandatory to get the Marksmanship Ribbon?
No nothing is mandatory. It is pretty difficult if your first time.
@@navalaviation Thank you so much
