<p>Ah yes! Don’t forget to put together a good profile sheet including why you want to attend USNA (or other NROTC, etc schools). Give one to all you recommenders as early as possible. Make sure you explain to your recommenders that they should not list your EC’s, accomplishments, etc in their recommendations unless they have first hand knowledge or at least official knowlege/participation in such. They should stick to their experience with you.</p>
