Why Naval Academy Midshipmen Can't Simply Take Time Off Like Everyone ElseEver wondered why upperclass midshipmen sprint back to campus at 11:55 PM on Friday nights? In this episode, we break down the crucial distinctions between leave and liberty at the Naval Academy—two terms that sound similar but carry vastly different meanings for midshipmen and their families.
As a Naval Academy graduate, I'm excited to share the insider knowledge about how these policies actually work and why they matter so much. We'll explore the three types of liberty, weekend planning requirements, and how these systems prepare midshipmen for fleet life ahead.
