It’s the sweet season of summer. Time for slower days and warmer nights. It’s also time to refresh your wardrobe with the newest Navy gear and Navy apparel.

Summer is here and it’s time to soak it all up! We’ve recently restocked the REAL Navy gear and apparel at Navyonline.com with some maritime-inspired goods. Like all purchases on the site, these goods do good! Their proceeds are used to fund extracurricular activities for the Brigade, like cultural arts, music, theater, club sports, and more. When you’re shopping here and at the Midshipman Store and USNA Gift Shop, you’re giving 100% to the midshipmen that give 100% for our freedom. Support the mids!

The U.S. Naval Academy is a special place - and a bit of a hybrid. It’s certainly not your typical college, though it has a vibrant academic curriculum, bustling dining hall, busy quadrangle, and cadre of devoted faculty and students. It’s also not quite the U.S Naval Fleet or the U.S. Marine Corps, but it does require rigorous military training and exercises, uniforms, and an oath of office. So it’s an amalgamation of both, with a unique and proud culture and a passionate group of people who make it both demanding and welcoming at the same time.
