Other daily training sessions involve moral, mental, physical and professional development and team-building skills. Plebes also learn infantry drill and how to shoot 9 mm pistols and M-16 rifles. As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic skills in seamanship, navigation, damage control, sailing and handling yard patrol craft. The pressure and rigor of Plebe Summer is carefully designed to help plebes prepare for their first academic year at the Naval Academy and the four years of challenge that awaits them. They are only permitted to make three calls during the six weeks of Plebe Summer. During this time, plebes have no access to television, movies, the internet, or music and restricted access to cell phones. Fernandez, a graduate of High Tech High School in Secaucus, and the son of Michael Fernandez and Josie Millan Fernandez, will be inducted into the Naval Academy Class of 2027 on June 29, marking the beginning of six challenging weeks of basic midshipman training during Plebe Summer.Īpproximately 1,200 candidates from the entire country are selected each year for the academy’s “plebe” or freshman class, and each student is required to participate in Plebe Summer.
