<p>The phrase about the time at USNA being broken into thirds, if taken in the context in which it is presented in the Parents’ Survival Guide, has absolutely nothing to do with the level of training or responsibility of each of the four classes. It refers to the idea that, as one passes through the rigors of USNA, it will FEEL like three different eras.</p>
<p>Now, could we return to the question raised by the OP? I have recently been in the presence of several Youngsters who have stated different requirements (distance they can travel from USNA, etc.) than the requirements for my Plebe. I don’t want to be in a situation during a visit in which I unknowingly aid or abet any rule bending or breaking. </p>
<p>Specifically:
- I know Plebes are limited to a 22 nm radius from the Yard, except on leave. What is the limit for Youngsters? Does it vary by company?
- What are the requirements for Youngsters to wear uniforms? I know that Plebes must be in official regulation garments at all times when not in leave status.</p>
