As an Army veteran, I'm in tears of pride watching these amazing young Military Officers graduating and beginning a new career defending 🇺🇸 America. Congrats! 🎉
I'm a freshman in highschool right now but trying my best to align myself with attending this academy. I pray one day I'll be at one of these graduations!!!
From someone who was in your place a few years ago, that mindset is the most important thing. Don't lose it! Keep your eye on the prize always and do whatever you can to maximize your individual opportunities and situation to steer you in that direction. They're not looking for the smartest, most athletic, or perfection. They're looking for a well rounded, hard working person*; whatever that looks like within your own context! Just do your best, and if it's something you really want, then it's more than possible for you! Don't give up, Wyatt! Feel free to ask questions as well. I'll be joining them for the class of 2026's Plebe Summer in a few weeks :)
You got this Wyatt! As a Naval Academy graduate from the class of 2008, I completely agree with Gabby’s message and I’ll add one more thing. Live out the core values of the Navy (honor, courage, and commitment) throughout your years in high school and challenge yourself in the spirit of the Naval Academy’s mission of developing yourself mentally, morally, and physically. By demonstrating those things on top of what Gabby said, I’ll have no doubt that you will make a great Midshipman and future officer. Good luck and godspeed!
@@stevencolley4630 I appreciate this Sir!!
@@stevencolley4630 Also question: Do I have to do JROTC to get in or can I do thinks like student council?
@@Gabby_T Tysm! I'm trying my hardest to get into proper shape. I'm slowly starting to run farther without stopping which I think will help
I'm finishing my freshman year in high school, and I hope one day I can attend USNA. Unfortunately I live in one of the most competitive congressional districts (the same one as Annapolis) so I'll need to work extra hard to earn an appointment.
Move to a inland rural state !
Go for it. You can do it.
Proud of your commitment to serve our great Navy, don't let them screw your mind up with critical race Theory either the bunch of Lies designed to separate you, from your best friends in the world that's American, good luck on your journey Godspeed
Don’t let that discourage you…if your congressman won’t sponsor you write to your senators!
So many memories came and go
Long ago but not that long in my head
I was a USN cadet 1972
After 25 years of service to this great nation a became a citizen like everyone else that had the privilege of serving our country and the American people
I am a junior in highschool and am on my journey to join this pristine academy. it’s exciting to see the graduation! congrats! Go Navy!! Semper fi!
Should try to apply for summer stem or summer seminar
@@joesimba ya that would really help them get into the academy

USNA 1979🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I get goosebumps when I look at the excellent people that we have selected to defend our country and our constitution by the grace of God
I want to go to the USNA and then graduate as a Marine
Do NOT just merely get on board You Tube with Your Comment on Annapolis and becoming a Marine Corps Second Lieutenant (0-1). Just do it,and stop the talk.
CONGRATS GRADUATES
Im so proud of my Nephew (Lt. Connor Majarucon) took his Commission in the Marine Corps.
U.S. Navy students, congratulations on your graduation. thanks. thanks.🎓
Listen to your morality! Figure out requirements! Be kind to them. We do the right now. Forget about our darkness. Lead and read good ways.
I'll be always there.
I remember when I enlisted and took the oath a cold shudder went through me. That is when I realized how serious this was and the duties I had to perform. It was an honor serving. If I knew I could change my MOS I would have shipped over.
안녕하세요! 반갑습니다!
좋습니다!!! 고맙습니다!!!
좋은 날 되세요!!!
GOOD!!!THANKS!!! HAVE A NICIDAY!!!
America salutes you.

Love it! My next life.
Why the 2 colors of uniforms?
Some cadets took their Commission in the Marine Corps so are wearing Marine Corp Blues
Am I related to founder of 6 and USA SFs 60/61 yes 1 no 0
Why can't there be this much love for enlisted graduations? Granted, there are ALOT more graduations for enlisted folks, but ya'll get the drill.
Generally speaking - I'd argue that it's a higher standard of accomplishment:
First, the acceptance rate for service academies is low, it's a very selective process to be accepted.
Second, the enforced standard is higher ...it's a much more rigorous environment set to a much higher standard.
Third, new junior officers will have inordinate responsibilities compared to enlisted personnel.
Last, service academy graduates will disproportionately provide the pool of human talent for tomorrow's highest echelons of leadership.
So (IMO) the whole thing is taken far more seriously because it has more serious implications.
@@g.lowenklee2268 That's exactly my point. Enlisted, especially junior enlisted, can do their very best job and still not be recognized by their leadership, while junior officers are recognized for just doing their job. As a result, many of the enlisted folks are separating and the military is wondering why retention rates are low right now.
The military obviously cannot pay the enlisted more but the one thing they can do is give them the props they deserve and show them a bit of humility.
What the diff. between the white and black top
Navy vs Marine Corp.
Why are some wearing white and some black tops? I’m European so I don’t know.
Navy White, Marines Black.
Whites are the Midshipmen(Navy academy cadets) who will commissioned as Ensign in US Navy....While black uniform Midshipmen will be commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.
@@vivek27789 are both officers or only the marine ones?
@@bendover4668 Both the Ensign and 2nd Lieutenant are O-1level commissioned officer ranks.
@@vivek27789 ah I forget the US has no mandatory service like we have in Switzerland. So can you choose officer or regular ranks based on education?
why was that black dude waving other country flag? should it only be US flag that he just pledged his loyalty to?
There’s exchange students from other countries in all US military academies.
@@donalddonald8617 spent 23 yrs in the Army and never knew that.
What do those in the black jackets represent?
United States Marine Corps
If i was someone powerful definitely i want them to get extremely respect n better privilege and many more things
Bootcamp zeros with stars in their eyes.
@Iceman717 show some CLASS and RESPECT for the graduates MORON! direct your STUPID COMMENTS AT THE DEMONRAT COMMUNIST IN CHIEF OBIDEN !
I have to wonder.... are the USNA standards as tough as they were in 1940? I doubt it.
Likely harder.
The USA has become more selfish since then. These people are the exception. Not sure how tough but they are likely on a better path.
@@hughmac13 Not really across the board. In 1940 they used slide rules and they had to actually draw engineering diagrams by hand and women recruits today are not held to the same physical standards as the men.
@@TSimo113 But, in toto, yes.
The presence or absence of slide rules does not make proficiency in the theory and practice of the subject matter any more or less difficult. That subject matter has also become more complex. You may be aware for example that in 1940 naval officers were not preparing to learn to build and operate nuclear reactors.
As to physical standards, midshipmen are preparing to be naval and Marine Corps officers. While physical fitness is important, sheer strength is not, and the academic and athletic quality of potential USNA candidates now is unequivocally higher than in the past, as is the resulting intensity of competition among them for coveted spots at at the USNA and then among midshipmen for class rank.
As an example, because of the increased number of potential candidates, the standard for Naval officers wishing to become Navy SEALs has become unimaginably high compared to what it was just twenty-five years ago.
@@hughmac13 Thank you for expanding on the subject
Actually the trust comes from the Congress of the United States! Not the president! Canoe U Grads 2022 Semper Fi!

Only the country flag that should be allowed is the American flag and also no international exchange student. U.S citizens only at these military academies.
That's a strategic move and long term investment...Many of these International exchange cadets will later become senior officers or even the head of the Navy of their respective countries.....And will likely align with US strategic and political interests in future bcoz of the bond they formed after spending 4 years at Annapolis....There is a long term strategic reason why they do this and not just for international charity.
You can't be a general or a leader , a leader thinks of the future
If you guys can't find work to do in the navy, fix the navy.
In God We Trust.
Please keep Competence Relevant - These people hold lives in their hands ? 🤔
They allowed that flag????? Not what the Navy use to be!
What flag is that?
@@goldenchild1368 I think Cameroon or Senegal
Cameroon. He's one of the international students who attended the school.
Joe Biden I hope you will be around when my nephew Cj graduate from the Navy Academy in,2o26.God bless you both 🙏 🙌 ❤ 💙 ♥ 👏 🙏
Pander harder
I was enjoying the highlights of the Naval Academy’s graduation ceremony, until Biden showed up and said his piece.
Thomas , if you feel that strongly about the commander in chief, I suggest you never think about the armed service or if you already served, you should be ashamed to have served,
People like you just embarrass the army ,navy and marines!!
@@robertperez357 Bub if you want to keep on defending Biden, have at it. That’s your right. But when far too many Dems are throwing the so-called President under the bus, it’s a sure sign that they have to be fed up with him. And it’s not the conservatives talking. It’s the liberal mainstream media.
I served for 24 years. I never cared about who was President. It didn't matter. Now retired, I do care. I agree with you that Biden is a disgrace to this country. However, Trump wasn't that much better either...good ideas, but bad executions. We need to vote for the right leader to guide us and our children to a prosperous future.
People dont have no respect for them and i dont like that at all
2:52. Oh hell no.
Agreed!
Sigh. Before you all whine the US Navy went to sh*t, he’s an exchange student. He goes back to his country and serves in his country’s navy.
@@donalddonald8617 oh ok. Carry On
That is the flag of Cameroon. I assume you know not all attendees are American?
From the USNA site: INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:
The Class of 2022 also includes 14 international students from:
Cambodia (1), Cameroon (2), Egypt (1), The Gambia (2), Korea (1), Madagascar (1), Malaysia (1), Mongolia (2), Romania (1), Taiwan (1), and Thailand (1).
Well, God Bless the Mongolian Navy. Are their ships on wheels?
WTF Is that SHIT!!!! 2:52
i know right he literally just pledged his loyalty to US lol
He didn’t. He is one of exchange students from other countries. He’s sure not getting commission from the US Navy.
Exchange Cadet...Chill 🤦
@@vivek27789 Oh, that was "Chill". I say again, "WTF is that SHIT! Disclaimer: Not a question, I already knew the answer!
@@1MARAMAR Then you are a bloody moron who is getting triggered when there is no problem at all.
Clown in Chief ruining the day
You got that right, and I was there. Both he and the Secretary of the Navy, said “climate change” is the #1 problem facing the Navy. Two woke idiots! God save us all!
better if Biden wasn´tthere
Weakest branch of all.....
In your dreams Yang!
You're so wrong. It's the best.
They usually beat Army in the annual football game. 😂. And I spent 23 yrs in the army .
Not really, we no longer use sails. Your country will eventually get there. Give it a few hundred years.
@@usnchief1339 lmao ur country is same as mine I'm just not a seamen lmao......
Biden's navy. A woke moist Navy. 😆😀
I thought it said HIghlights. Biden's embarassing blather was certainly not a highlight. Glad I was there decades ago so as not to have to be part of this.
So you didn’t learn anything about the US Army being apolitical? Glad you’re not there anymore. Must be dishonorable discharge.
@@donalddonald8617 So, you didn't notice that they are very political and will force you out if you don't comply to the progressive standard?
