The Parents Club of the Texas Gulf Coast has partnered with Aspire Accessories to offer oyster shell ornaments and ring dishes for the Naval Academy community.
Aspire is a Houston-based nonprofit that employs young adults with autism. Each piece is hand-painted by their artisans.
Designs include USNA imagery and class crests for 2026, 2027, and 2028. A great gift for the Firstie in your family or any Navy supporter!

As a result of current world events, Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA) and the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) are increasing Force Protection measures. The following restrictions to USNA access are effective immediately, unless otherwise noted, and will remain in effect until further notice:

Gate 1 and the Visitor Control Center (VCC) will close. Gate 8 and the turnstiles will remain open.

General public visitation is suspended beginning 1330 today, Saturday, February 28, 2026.

There will be 100% ID checks. Only those with DoW- or DBIDS-issued ID cards will be permitted to walk or drive through Gate 8.
Visitation related to Naval Academy–sponsored events, including the men's basketball game against Colgate, is still permitted. Those with DoW or DBIDS ID cards will be allowed to walk or drive onto the Naval Academy. All other visitors with tickets or attending events must ride the shuttle bus from the Press Box side of Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (NMCS) and are required to present a Real ID. Expect increased security screening before boarding the shuttle.

Parents of STEM camp participants will still be allowed on base to pick up their children at the conclusion of the event. Gate 8 will have a list of authorized names.
