<p>CE527M: It is an awesome experience, but it is also challenging at the same time. They assign you to a squad, and everything you do is with them. You will do marching drills, eat together, and talk with each other each night about how the day went. NASS tests you mentally and physically. They give you a sheet at the beginning of the week and tell you to memorize it fully. Then, at the end of the week, you have what is called Sea Trials. You do physical stuff all day. It’s a lot of running, push ups, and even a beach workout. When that is over, they line you up and yell at you for over thirty minutes. They are questioning you about the sheet that you were supposed to memorize at the beginning of the week. It tests how you react under pressure. I enjoyed it so much. When you do these kinds of activities, you have to remember that most of it is mental. There are also classes each day so you can see the facilities and the teachers. Your squad leader will write an evaluation of you at the end of the week, which could be good for your application if you stand out. Hope this helps!</p>
