When the upperclassmen return to the academy in late
August to begin the academic year, you begin a routine that becomes very
familiar during your four years. A typical weekday schedule looks something
like this:
| 5:30 a.m. |
Arise for personal fitness
workout (optional) |
| 6:30 a.m |
Reveille (all hands out of bed) |
| 6:30-7:00 a.m |
Special instruction period for plebes |
| 7:00 a.m. |
Morning meal formation |
| 7:10 a.m. |

Four class periods, one hour each |
| 12:05 p.m. |

| 12:15 p.m. |
Noon meal for all midshipmen |
| 12:40-1:20 p.m. |
