hustini, the best advice I can give is to work together with others in your class. Classes that study together stay together. In my class, we only dropped 2 of the original 16 (1 of which didn't want to be there anyway) and finished with an average GPA over 90. We always met up before tests to study together, and make sure that everyone was on track. Flashcards are also a really good idea for material-heavy sections. Also, take advantage of voluntary study time whenever possible, or if you feel like you're falling behind. Don't get too psyched out about the course, because trust me you'll hear plenty of horror stories from people once you make it to Florida. It's really just about how much work you put into it more than anything else.

ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT!!

This is EXACTLY the kind of mentality I look for in junior sailors. Outstanding; keep it up and way to help bring up those around you!!

Just back from JCAC. Yes, its tough. Make sure your class studies together, hangs out together. Our class actually graduated all of its NAVY with honors!! we would go to mand/volo everyday, we'd all eat and hang out and run errands with eachother. our sister class had a bunch of in-fighting and several people rolled out of there.. Those who passed, started to hang out with our class and did better. That being said, I studied 6 days a week. (never Saturday, you still need at least 1 day to decompress) before JCAC i knew next to nothing about computers, they will give you a laptop to use during your time there, make use of it. check out codecademy and practice some commands. Its an intense, but fulfilling a-school. and enjoy the beach at least once =)
