Thanks for talking to me at the Air Force-Navy game a little bit ago Sam, and thanks for letting me know about this video you had coming out soon. Loved it, and can’t wait to start my apps to both academies in a few short months!
You probably don’t remember but I got a picture with you at the Memphis game! Crazy to think a little over a year ago my mom and I were watching your videos. Your videos were what introduced me to service academies in the first place. I was fortunate enough to get into USMA, USAFA, and USNA, and I chose USNA cuz we’re obviously better! Go Navy, beat Air Force!
I’m a junior in high school and I’ve been pursuing naval aviation for the past 2 years and 5 months. The naval academy is my dream school, and I’m set to talk to my Blue and Gold Officer this weekend about the summer seminar. Awesome video, love to see the academy!
I was one of the "drags" that was at the Naval Academy for candidate visit weekend while you were filiming. That's actually the back of my head pointing you out to my plebe who stops and looks back in the bottom left of 18:19!! I had to do a double take when I saw you filming everyone walking into King Hall! Love the video and I hope to be there for real soon (knock on wood)!
I have grown up in Annapolis Maryland and I have been blessed to get to wrestle the naval midshipman this past summer and I have started working to join the marine corps
Wow the campus is truly beautiful. Never been a big fan of the navy (I'm more of an Air Force / Marine Corps person) but this was really impressive, especially Bancroft hall.
I was able to spend a semester there through the S.A.E.P. in 2016 and you did a wonderful job showcasing the USNA. Despite my short time there it is a time full of memories and good times with all the new friends I made.
Proud of all who attend the United States Naval, Air Forces, Coast Guard Academy. But my heart and love is the Cadets who attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. The oldest and one of the most beautiful schools in the United States. Most visited. And as they say at West Point. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY
You’ve got to bring some light to forgotten aspects of the military man, this video was amazing, and I think could really get some eyes on places nobody looks!
i was there in the morning in the rotunda watching you film the academy what a great chance you had to come back thanks Sam. sorry i wasn't able to get a picture i was super busy.
Oh please be thankful that you are not what has happened to the us military over past four years is not less than criminal Imagine a pilot flying a multi billion dollar aircraft determined by the color of skin or sexual preference they allow men in female bathrooms so imagine that
Blue and Gold Baby! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY (And Air Force too, even though I love you Sam!) Proud navy family, three generations, all naval officers, with my brother being the third generation officer still in as a Lt Commander PAO officer. They didn't go to the Academy but a LOT of great family friends have!

@@CyrusTheConquerer It's rolling admissions. The sooner you complete your app the sooner you might get an answer... although no guarantees until April 15th, unless USNA really likes your app.
got denied the first time and second time-I actually qualified the second time (which was this year), but space wasn't reserved for Ghana (applied as an international student). I am now over the required age limit too. It's been a horrible year for me.
Hi, I am a sophomore in high school and all I think about is getting into the academies, what should I be doing to better myself to have a good shot at the academies?
I just retired from the Navy this month after 20 years. Im still only 39. Enlisted. Damm I didn't have internet before the military and knew nothing about this.
Also for all of you posting about you appointments or LOAs for 2029, congrats!! Do not engage the trolls lest you get caught up and lose it. Very important because it does happen.
U.S. Air Force Academy ☑
U.S. Naval Academy ☑
I think I might know the answer... but where should I tour next? 👀
Westpoint! The Citadel!
VMI!
Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras - Brasil
West Point
Go to New London and the US Coast Guard Academy.
Got my appointment to the class of 2029 two weeks ago!
Congrats!! I’m applying this year too, just waiting for a nomination and LOA but everything else is done

How did you get your appointment so soon?
Congrats man

Thanks for talking to me at the Air Force-Navy game a little bit ago Sam, and thanks for letting me know about this video you had coming out soon. Loved it, and can’t wait to start my apps to both academies in a few short months!

So cool to hear! Was a pleasure meeting you.
Sam, being a Navy man from decades ago, thank you for sharing this wonderful walk down memory lane.

Marines are navy though
I am a son of an army ranger thanks for giving info on other military branches and units
It was so cool to have you on the Yard! Many of my classmates looked to your videos as we were applying💯
my father is in the air force and i have done a lot of cool stuff but you bring the cool stuff to the people that don't have the chance so thanks Sam
It is absolutely criminal what has happened to the US military
standards have been flushed down the toilet
Thank you for this! I'm currently living my dream through my plebe, although the place is not an easy one, there is nothing like it. Great video!
Best of luck!
Your best video by far! Bravo! Go Navy!!!
Had the pleasure of having a tour there at the start of the month, as a UK person visiting it was very impressive and Annapolis is an amazing place.
One of your best video ever🎉🎉🎉thank u Sam for sharing!! It's one of a kind for our new generation to see...
Glad you enjoyed it!
annapolis is my favorite town i've ever visited. just beautiful

Props to you for going all in at USNA, hope your AF classmates don't give you grief for sporting Navy gear....Beat Army!!
Cobbler for MVP.
For real though
Best Ad I have ever seen so far.
Looking forward to your Dragon Lady video Sam! It was a pleasure having you at Beale! Annapolis looks like a very fulfilling time. Thanks for sharing.
Dragon lady isn't in Annapolis
I'm not even american and these videos got me excited to join any military academy there lol

Love they got the Zoomie wearing Navy gear and cheering the Mids on at the football game!
Things like this make me wish I was in the US to experience it
Oh please
be thankful that you are not
what has happened to the us military over past four years is not less than criminal
Imagine a pilot flying a multi billion dollar aircraft determined by the color of skin or sexual preference
they allow men in female bathrooms so imagine that
Things have improved. My refrigerator, tucked away in a closet and protected from discovery by a timer, was soooo illegal 😂

Another quality video Sam.
You should do the coast guard academy, that’s where I’m going
Big shoutout for all your videos but especially for this one.
Wish we had those kind of institutions in Germany ✌️
You did a great job on this video! Makes me wanna apply when it’s my time too 😅. I think USAFA deserves a redemption video!
i love driving to Annapolis from baltimore, especially the history it holds.
Thanks for taking us inside to see where the US Navy molds our future Officers, Sailors and Warfighters. #GoNavy
I loved Every bit of this Video.. We are heading to the Army next
thank for the video Sam always excellent content
Would love to see similar videos for the other branches
Love your editing
I’ve been waiting for this video, GO BLUE ANGELS💙💛

Huge congrats!

Congrats!! Best of luck for Plebe Summer. It goes by quicker than you think! (All 4 years, not just Plebe Summer.)
Great job! go Navy Beat Army.
Best channel of the year! no 🧢
Hey Sam, what’s your Air Force rank?
14:45 Hell yea! Just like every Airman is a pilot!
I never knew that they offered tutoring at the Naval Academy. Do Midshipmen have to pay?
Everything is free!
@@SamEckholm This is amazing!
Im comparing Navy and AF
Stuck in making decision
got denied the first time and second time-I actually qualified the second time (which was this year), but space wasn't reserved for Ghana (applied as an international student). I am now over the required age limit too. It's been a horrible year for me.
Most beneficial channel
Great video! Go Army! Beat Navy!
Please do a video about the coast guard academy! It’s less well known but I think it is super interesting.
Just received my LOA!.🎉
Congratulations!
How’d you receive your appointment so early?
Ahhh!! My old teammate gave the dorm tour!!
Hi, I am a sophomore in high school and all I think about is getting into the academies, what should I be doing to better myself to have a good shot at the academies?
dope video dude
Appreciate it!
12:32 That guy is freaking stacked. Theres no way he got all those before he was 22.
It's a great day when Sam posts
That bancraft hall is so beautiful. Its look like a hotel.
ANOTHER UPLOAD WOOHOO. NAVAL ACADEMY WOAHHH
@7:12 you can see a roof tile out of order, that is where they hide the weed
I just retired from the Navy this month after 20 years. Im still only 39. Enlisted. Damm I didn't have internet before the military and knew nothing about this.
This was really cool😊
10:28. The most important person at USNA.
Do one either about army or one about Air Force academy and their athletics
GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY!
Also for all of you posting about you appointments or LOAs for 2029, congrats!! Do not engage the trolls lest you get caught up and lose it. Very important because it does happen.
I love your chanel♥️
Hey sam . best videos very professional. Question? Why don't you do a video on the marine corp? Retired marine i would appreciate it. Thanks
I just did one on the Marine Corps F-35B!
Very strong academy.
GO NAVY!!
San diego is nice for me ❤❤❤❤
That's why classes start at 0755. So the Mids are in the building already.
Great video.
♥️🤍💙⚓
Thank you all!
I asked my old commanding officer one time if he went to the academy and he laughed and said “hell no I wanted to enjoy my college experience”. Haha
GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!!! (I’m applying to West Point. C/O 2029)
Please go to Westpoint. I'm gonna start my application this spring. For the class of 2030
Im from tamil nadu watching this video
It's weird.....I'm a Canadian and don't really watch American style football, but I will always turn into the Army/Navy game for some reason.
Sam, are you still in Air Force?
Do you teach them nowadays the skills of the wind sailing small crafts ,or sailing small vessel club?
What do marines do? Do they have a forest to do field training in nearby like West Point does?
I came here for the food, and am not disappointed.
What's the difference between naval and navy?
Go Sara!
Recruiters gettin smart
Go Army
I want to go here but as a currently enlisted Marine, there is no way I would be able to stand some boots yelling at me lol
do the army next please
Best country in the world 🎉
Thanks for making this. Hopefully these Mids won’t have to explain that they did in fact go to college now. 🤣
Do West Point!!
The answers obvious a lot of seamen
When you have a cauliflower, you can tell it's a legitimate leader.
Let's go Navy
Does the goat reply and early
Is there one for West Point ?
Hopefully they invite me to do one there!
Are u still in service with the airforce?
