Could I be considered for an appointment to NAPS?

For what it’s worth, WhistlePig has been on this forum for years stirring it up. It’s what they like to do. Take it for what it’s worth. I haven’t been on her in a long long time and remember the user name a one that loves to incite. So it goes.

I always wonder, though, why someone who has absolutely no experience at an institution (NAPS) feels they can just “call it as it is”. Unless you have direct experience, you are merely going off appearances and conjecture. While there might certainly be candidates outright rejected at USNA with superior stats to candidates selected for NAPS, the bigger picture looks at far more things than grades and test scores. Demographics, desire, character, extra-curriculars, leadership and on and on are all part of the picture and it seems that USNA knows what they are doing. Who are any one of us to think we can do better?
