Plebe Gear Issue
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (July 17, 2020) New midshipmen (plebes) who have been tested and confirmed negative for COVID-19 receive their issued uniform items before the onset of Plebe Summer. Before interacting with their first set of detailers, the plebes will underwent a 14-day restriction of movement (ROM). During this time, training was conducted in the virtual environment; focusing on moral and mental development. For the Class of 2024, their time as plebes will look very different than years prior, and their experience will be marked by the challenges Naval Academy leadership faces to ensure safety while maintaining an effective training environment.
