I-Day

On June 29, 2017, we welcomed 1,214 young men and women to

the U.S. Naval Academy as the incoming Class of 2021. This Induction

Day (I-Day) marked the beginning of Plebe Summer, the military

indoctrination and training period that helps new Midshipman

Candidates develop morally, mentally, and physically, which serves as

the foundation to military life. I-Day 2017 was a momentous occasion

that honored the tradition of the Academy, in addition to the young

men, women, and their families, as they committed to beginning the

journey of navigating their future as our next generation of leaders.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMYANNAPOLIS, MD

To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and

to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and

loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a

career of naval service and have potential for future

development in mind and character to assume the highest

responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.
