Become a sea dragon

As RNA is a college-preparatory school, we would encourage the cadet to apply for a service academy (West Point, Annapolis, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine) or a college ROTC scholarship. Both result in a college degree and a commission as an officer in the military.

Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays cadets typically wear the Naval Service Uniform. On Wednesdays, the cadets wear the Academy uniform consisting of a school polo shirt and khaki pants. On Fridays, cadets wear physical training (PT) clothes. PT clothes are navy or Rickover shorts and t-shirts, or navy warm-ups depending on the time of year.

Not for the NJROTC uniform. All of the required pieces of the NJROTC uniform are issued free of charge to the cadet. Payment is only needed for lost or damaged uniform items. If a cadet grows out of a particular uniform item, they can exchange it for a different size. The school polo shirt and PT uniform is also issued and is part of the school fees.

The day starts with breakfast available at 7:15 AM. The first class begins at 8:05 AM. The day ends at 3:18 PM Monday through Thursday and 2:07 PM on Fridays.
