NAPS AlumniActive/Reserve Flag/General Officers
“NAPS gave me all I needed not only to succeed at the Naval Academy, but also to become an officer of Marines. My NAPS experience would not only sustain me through the four demanding years of Annapolis, but would be a touch stone of values for many years thereafter. I cannot commend the program strongly enough.”
General John Allen, USMC (Ret)
NAPS ‘72
Commander, US Forces – Afghanistan
NAPS Quote
