USNA Combat Arms Team (CAT) Promo 

I see future Navy SEAL and MARSOC officers in the making. Outstanding program for the future mindset.

the only time you can tryout for the team is your plebe year. We only take plebes.

Good video. I shot with these guys yesterday. They were very professional and excellent shooters.

This video is really well done. Good luck with your matches!

What if a plebe doesn't have any previous shooting experience, can he/she join ?

hello, good day. this might seem a silly and stupid question but on the academy's website, I saw that all the members had on a white uniform so I would like to know if the club is only open to those who chose the navy route or if it open to any midshipmen regardless if they chose the navy or marine route

@sandjpark Yes, CAT competes against Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

solid music choice. 10/10

@caasikrap You might be able to rejoin the team the following year as long as you did the initial screening but I know that the first year is the most crucial time for being selected. Just do your best when you do tryouts.

That's what I was wondering.

I really want to do this and am determined. Any tips to earn a way in? Is it possible with no prior firearms background?

Does CAT still exist at USNA, after this video I see no mention of it

@Ddddennis81 Not at all. From what I gathered when I did the video, having some knowledge in guns and being in good physical condition will suffice. I know that the screening process is intensive and that is the first filter to the overall selection; so if anything, prepare for that. My advice would be to keep prepping for the summer and get out and continue to shoot (if possible...). However, you will get basic training in M16s and M11s this summer. Good luck.

I am freshman in highschool and i am currently Beginning shooting competitions. I have been a natural shot since I first began and I understand the techniques of being an accurate shooter. My dream is to go to the naval academy and join CAT. Do you have any suggestions on how to stand out to try to make the team because the video says only four plebes make it.

what editing software do you use?

I am also going to be a plebe this year. if I don't make it in this year will I be able to try out during a different year?

Are females permitted if they can perform as well as the guys? I'm interested in this

@caasikrap no, the only time you can try out for this team is plebe year.

how can we join the team? Are freshmens allowed on the team? Im an official candidate

@Ddddennis81 Some guys on the team shot a gun for the first time in their life during their plebe summer. As for now, just keep working out and practicing shooting if you have an opportunity.

@DaylightTelevision every year 60 to 80 people try out, we take 4...

So they do like 3-gun stuff? Nice

@cmon671 I don't think so.

Actually the Navy payes

I'm relatively sure there has never been a female on the CAT team. That is not to say that a female cannot make it, but I wouldn't count on it. These guys are VERY selective. More than 70 Plebes may try out in a year... and they only take 4, some of which are priors with extensive shooting experience, and most are VERY physically fit. It's very Difficult to make it to the interview... and after that, personality is VERY important. They're a tight knit group.
