Internships • (1) Every internship must be sponsored by a USNA faculty member and approved by the • Superintendent’s Review Panel.

Midshipmen may not arrange internships outside of the formal USNA approval process – this includes with your Congressman. • Review the list of 2019 internships. Contact the faculty POCs for details on eligibility criteria, available projects, and funding. Maintain communication with the faculty internship POC concerning your summer plans. • (4) You must possess a personal credit card to participate in a funded internship. Travel will be on orders.

Screening) • Northern Tier/Philmont (High Risk) • MAGTF (High Risk) • EOD PTE (High Risk) • During the two weeks after Spring Break • 3/C Training Officer will provide detailed information via email • Med forms can be found here: • Outdoor Leadership Screening Form • Submarine Screening Form • High Risk Screening Form
MIDS Preference Module • I review every preference and comment for your class • Clear and concise comments • Fleet Cruises: block/platform/location • PTEs: block/event/location • Most PTEs will be by-name requests though program managers • Compelling leave requests: dates/reason/location • NAAA: you can give us a heads up, but I’ll receive actual blockers from NAAA • MSS: same, but I’ll receive actual assignments from Academics • 0-Block cruises are for exceptional cases, do not expect to receive one • Manage your expectations
Good Comments • My preferences are as follows: • Block 1: Leave • Block 2: Sub Cruise • Block 3: YP – LANTPAT • I would like a West Coast submarine cruise specifically, but would appreciate any submarine assignment. If not that, any West Coast assignment. • My highest priority is for Block 1 leave for my sister’s wedding on 18Jun in San Diego
Poor Comments • I will be participating in a computer science internship near my parents’ house from 30 May – 20 June. • All internships must be USNA approved • I have already paid for a beach vacation from 22 June – 08 July. • Training will consider leave requests, but paying for a trip without approved leave is done at your own risk • Always buy refundable tickets, rooms, etc. • Because I have leave planned for San Diego during Block 2, I must do Block 3 Surface Cruise in San Diego. • Be realistic and flexible
Priority for Assignments • NAAA Blockers and MSS • By-name requests from Program Managers • Internships, IPO programs, AT/FP, Plebe Detail, etc • MIDN Preferences / Overall Order of Merit • Fleet Cruise, 1st PTE, and Leave for all MIDN, then • 2nd and 3rd PTEs
Key Business Rules • Standard Summer Training = One funded Fleet Cruise and one funded PTE (USNA Policy) • 3rd and 4th events shall be done in lieu of leave and may be funded • Fleet Cruises and service assignment requirements are high priority events • At least one Fleet Cruise is required for graduation (OPNAV Policy) • At least one CORE PTE is highly desired prior to graduation • Repetition of a PTE is not desired (some exceptions) • Min 14 days of leave / Max 35 days • Utilize your Chain of Command • Special request chits may be submitted for compelling reasons
The Gouge • In general, Block 0 Training is for athletes who have a full NAAA blocker during Blocks 1, 2, or 3. These training events are the exception, not the rule. • If you are selected for a Block 0 PTE or a very short PTE (Rocky Mountain High, SHAPE/SAPR, etc.), you may be assigned a Block 1-3 YP/OSTS spot depending on overall minimal manning numbers. • Cheer team is not a NAAA blocker and does not warrant Block 0 YPs or cruise. It is done in lieu of leave • Submarine cruises require a secret clearance and a completed submarine embarkation form or else you cannot embark and will have your training changed. • If you choose to go on training in lieu of leave, 0 block leave is not compulsory. • Buy refundable travel to and from leave. Cruises are subject to fleet availability and are often subject to change. • Fleet cruise validation is possible if you have significant underway enlisted experience.
Personal Preparation • Maintain updated contact and passport info in MIDS • Review your assignments weekly beginning after Spring Break • Attend any pre-training events • Get the gouge from other MIDN who’ve done that training event • Assemble your gear in April (use packing list on summer training intranet site) • Submit your Independent Travel preferences when training is assigned • Purchase refundable tickets, etc. for leave • Check email/MIDS daily beginning in May • DO NOT get locked out of email during summer
