As we rapidly approach the end of the academic year, congratulations are in order! The midshipmen have once again shown excellence in their moral, mental, and physical pursuits. They’re now preparing for summer training or (in the case of the Firsties) their commissioning into the naval service. We are excited to bid them fair winds and following seas. But before they go, here are some great Real Navy gifts you can send them off with—gifts they will be excited to receive and proud to wear or display.

Commissioning Week is coming! After four long years of proving themselves again and again, the midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2024 are ready to take the Oath of Office and start their journeys in the U.S. Navy Fleet and U.S. Marine Corps. While we’re busy preparing for the week-long celebration, it’s a good time to look ahead for commissioning gifts. Just make sure to order soon so they get here in time for your favorite midshipmen. We have the Navy gear and Navy apparel they want—items that commemorate their time here and serve as important reminders in the future, as their stories continue.

It’s almost here: Commissioning Week 2024. This week of highlights culminates with the long-awaited day when the Class of 2024 caps off four incredibly hard and rewarding years at the U.S. Naval Academy with their graduation. They will be commissioned into their first roles as an officer—either as an ensign in the U.S. Navy or as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. We are swelling with pride just thinking about their achievements.
