An institution of higher learning where young men go to better themselves through a college degree and a career as a naval officer upon graduation, e.g. a million dollar education shoved up ones ass, a nickel at a time.
Graduates of this institution are generally arrogant and believe themselves to be better than any of their fellow officers who did not become so by being a graduate of the naval academy (such as persons who became officers through NROTC programs, direct commissions or through OCS). These officers usually display their USNA class rings in an overly proud and flamboyant fashion, earning them the name "Ringknockers".

Unlike what most people say it is not "better" than the army or any other branch. Each branch has it's on set of jobs and application in times of war. If the Marines were the best (as most military illiterate people think) we wouldn't need anyone else. Also the statement of them being the toughest is almost completely untrue. The statement itself is too ambiguous. Most recruits make it through Marine BCT while other branches have more strenuous training regimen than the overrated "Crucible".
Me- "I train everyday in hopes in one day being a SEAL team member. The dropout from Indoctrination through BUD/s and SQT is over 95% so I'm not going to slack on any of my preparation."

The singular place of education where you can empower the United States Navy to shove a million dollar education up your ass a nickel at a time. The graduates, frequently known as "ringknockers" proudly display their trophy in the most arrogant and assholish fashion possible, peering down their noses at people who were direct commissions or graduated from NROTC units at other universities nationwide. These people go on to lead what tehy consider to be elitist lives and frequently get their asses kicked at squadron parties by many an aviator.

The United States "service academy" that claims to be the hardest in the nation. Only there can you find carpeted barracks' (or rather dormitories), people to do your laundry for you, people to clean your barracks' for you (once again, rather dormitories), and people to serve you your meals. The sissies there that call themselves midshipmen are given a commission into the US Navy or Marine Corp only to prove to other officers how arrogant they are wearing their expensive rings around as if they actually earned them. The unfortunatre truth is that they stopped earning them several years ago.
Unlike other service academies, the United States Naval Academy fails to live up to it's name and traditions.

also known as Kings Point. Its a place where one wears a silly costume (uniform), does plenty of excercise(looking at porn) and of course is well hydrated, with more alcohol than you can imagine. But what do you expect from a school full of sailors. Unlike the sissies at the Naval Academy, we know how to drink and chase women of the night. We are given a whole year to do it on commericial ships. Located in Great Neck NY we proudly display our Nazi Flagpole, in a Jewish Community. Need I say anything else about an establishment that when you graduate you are given choices to actually make a ton of money, and not have to go active duty. Because why fight in the war, when you can profit off of it.
