Civil Naval Patrol Perhaps?

Question

Hello. I am an aspiring applicant to the US Naval Academy and was wondering is there a Naval equivalent to the Civil Air Patrol? My friend is going to the US Air Force academy and supposedly it really helps to have it on the applications. I was wondering is there any sort of version of the CAP that would be useful to a future Naval officer? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Yeah I think you are more concerned with a youth organization. Civil Air Patrol has youth and adult functions. So the answer would be not the Coast Guard Auxiliary, But the Sea Cadets.

Answer 2

The closest thing that I know of is the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

However, you may also get a pretty good bump in your application to the Naval Academy if you are in the CAP. Junior ROTC, any service, is also helpful.

I assume you still have a couple of years of high school left. Check out all the various avenues, and consider applying to several academies--even though you are really interested in Annapolis.
