<p>First, some caveats: My list only includes the most important things, AND some things can change with a change in administration. The Class of 2008 knows all about that.</p>
<p>Plebes:
-Must wear uniform of the day at all times when within 25 mile radius of USNA (and may not keep civvies in their rooms)
-Are not allowed to go outside the designated radius (~25 miles, but can change slightly)
-Cannot operate a car unless on leave (i.e. Christmas holidays)
-Cannot consume alcoholic beverages (even if over 21) unless on leave
-Have “town” liberty only on Saturday after Last Military Obligation (LMO). On the day of a home football game, this is ~4 hours. On Sundays, Plebes must remain on the Yard. Exception: on holiday (3 day) weekends, Plebes have Town liberty both Saturday and Sunday, “Yard liberty” on Monday.
-Do not rate weekend liberty except as declared by the Dant/Supe for a special situation
(IOW, liberty is generally daytime only, not over night)
-Must “chop,” do “chow calls,” must do “come arounds” to show they have learned “Plebe knowledge,” must “square” their meals and their corners. If you don’t know those terms, you will before the end of I-day+1.</p>
<p>Youngsters:
-Must wear uniform of the day at all times when within 25 mile radius of USNA
-Cannot operate a car unless on leave (i.e. Christmas holidays)
-Have town liberty both Saturday and Sunday (and Monday if it’s a holiday weekend)
-Do rate weekend liberty. This year they had 2 weekends/semester, but those are in addition to any granted by the Dant/Supe, and having top grades can earn more. Weekends begin after Last Military Obligation (LMO) on Saturday</p>
<p>2nd class:
-Can operate a car, but not on the Yard. There is parking available near NMCMS
-They rate more weekends than Youngsters, and weekends begin on Friday evening
-Uniforms only required when performing military obligations (attending class, training, etc)</p>
<p>Firsties:
-Can operate a car (NOT a motorcycle) on the Yard, and can obtain parking on the Yard
-They rate more weekends than 2nd Class, and weekends begin earlier on Friday evening</p>
