OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR ECAs
1. Responsibility.
The Commandant of Midshipmen is responsible for all
extracurricular activities.
The Extracurricular Activities Officer (ECAO)
will act for the Commandant on all matters of routine administration of these
activities. A commissioned or non-commissioned officer attached to the
United States Naval Academy will act as the "Officer Representative" for each
ECA. Officer Representatives.will abide by policies and procedures set forth
in reference (a) .
2. Mission. ECAs are those activities determined to add benefit to the
Brigade of Midshipmen, the Naval Academy, or the United States Navy.
They
are established in order to allow Midshipmen the ability to acquire special
skills not available within the basic academic or athletic programs.
ECAs
are charged with carrying out official functions on behalf of the
Superintendent, Commandant, and the Naval Academy in order to support the
mission of the Naval Academy.
a.
Participation in every ECA is voluntary and must complement, but not
interfere with, the fundamental requirements and routines of the Brigade.
Special procedures permitting deviations from the normal routine of the
Brigade may be authorized on a case by case basis.
b. Due to their unique nature and the value to the Brigade, in
accordance with reference (b), ECAs may receive special consideration for
requests to participate in movement orders and excusals that require missing
academic classes and mandatory events.
Each specific movement order and
request will be examined individually by Commandant Operations. Approval for
one event does not grant approval for all.
c. Academic divisions or departments having purview in the specific area
of an ECA will sponsor the ECA and provide its Officer Representative.
Prior
to establishing additional ECAs, approval of the Commandant of Midshipmen and
Academic Dean must be obtained.
3.
Rules and Regulations
a.
Membership and participation. Company Officers will grant final
approval of membership and participation in ECAs based on Midshipman's
academic, professional, and PE performance records.
Company Officers will
pay particular attention to the number of ECAs a Midshipman is involved in to
ensure Midshipmen do not become over committed such that their participation
detracts from the basic mission requirements.
In general, Plebes will be
limited to two ECAs and upper-class Midshipmen will be limited to three ECAs.
Religious Activities do not count towards a Midshipman's total. Exceptions
to the limitation on ECA's may be extended to those Midshipmen on the
Superintendent's, Dean's, or Commandant's List or as deemed appropriate by
the Company Officer.
b. Eligibility. Members fall into one of four categories:
Fully
eligible, not eligible for movement orders, non-representation, and
suspended.
Enclosure (1)
COMDTMIDNINST 1710.14K
JUN 09 2014
(1) Fully eligible. Those members who meet the eligibility
requirements for movement orders stipulated in reference (b) .
(2) Not eligible for movement orders. Members who do not meet the
weekend eligibility requirements delineated in reference (c) are not eligible
to be on Movement Orders. Members who are not approved for movement orders
may still practice and perform for events at the Naval Academy.
(3) Non-Representation Status. A Midshipman will be placed in nonrepresentation status if the Commandant or Deputy Commandant deems it
necessary due to poor professional performance. While in non-representation
status, the Midshipman can still attend routine ECA meetings and rehearsals.
They are not allowed to participate in any events where they would be
representing the Naval Academy on Yard or off.
(4) Suspended. A Midshipman will be suspended from any and all
participation if the Commandant, Deputy Commandant, or the Midshipman's
Battalion or Company Officer deems it necessary due to poor academic,
professional, or PE performance.
c.
In accordance with reference (c), ECAs can meet on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday from 1915-2000 and Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 1900-2000,
subject to other scheduled mandatory events.
Special requests to meet
outside these times must be approved by Commandant Operations.
d.
ECAs must have an Officer representative. Any non-USNA volunteer
must submit a DD 2793, Volunteer Agreement Form, to the ECAO for approval by
the Commandant Operations Officer.
e. Rosters. The Officer representative of each activity shall ensure
the activity president has input organization's roster into the MIDS program
no later than two weeks following the return of the Brigade. Rosters are to
be verified and updated on a monthly basis in the MIDS system.
Failure to
verify rosters for two consecutive months may result in disestablishment.
Changes to a Midshipman's status, as deemed necessary by the Company officer,
will be directed to the ECA president or to the ECAO. Non-representation and
suspended members will be changed to non-member status in MIDS database.
Unless a Midshipman is suspended, they will be listed on the roster.
f.
Football Games. Attendance at all home football games is considered
a military obligation and Midshipmen will not be authorized to participate in
ECAs during the games unless their activity supports the game (i.e., Navy
Spirit, Drum and Bugle, Cannoneers, etc.).
g.
Size Restrictions.
ECAs may be authorized to restrict the size of
membership for reasons such as the nature of the club activities or available
facilities; however, any restriction to club membership will be approved by
the Commandant of Midshipmen via the ECAO.
h.
Intramural Exemptions. A listing of in-season periods, squad sizes,
and intramural/drill exemption totals for ECAs is contained in reference (d) .

that practice during the intramural sports period from 1600 to 1800.
(In
addition, organizations must hav e access to the practice facilit y during

space that an ECA uses is only a v ailable dur ing sports period and not during
the e v ening activ ity period.) . Athletic ECAs are not automatically qualified
for intramural exemptions. Additionally, to be intramural exempt, ECAs must
be of a competitiv e nature , similar to Intramural teams . Navy Spirit, Drum &

p . Suspension. ECAs in a suspended status shall not meet as a group,
travel, conduct any business, hold team practices , scrimmages or games . Any
pending MOs will be disapproved.
ECAs in suspended status will be allowed to
meet only to complete required paperwork that is due during their suspended
status.
ECAs will be put in a suspended status for two months and
disestablished for the remainder of the Academic Year and all of the
following Academic Year if they are suspended twice in an Academic Yea r for
any of the follo wing reasons:
(1 ) Failure to represent the USNA in a good light while on MO by, but
not limited to, being unprofessional, having members out of proper uniform
and alcohol incidents .
(2) Failure to turn in required reports on time, including but not
limited to , end of y ear reports and quarterly inv entory reports . In

q. Disestablishment . ECAs will be disestablished by the Commandant of
Midshipmen whenev er the utility no longer warrants continued operation (as
determined by the Commandant); membership drops below 20 Midshipmen; if the

activities, or expend designated funds indicates the club has become
inactive . ECAs that are disestablished due to t wo suspensions in one
Academic Year will be required to submit a new ECA request package when
eligible.
r.
Championships . Because ECAs are "extracurricular, " movement orders
may not alwa y s be approv ed - e v en for "championship e v ents . " Factors that
may affect the approval of " championship " events for ECAs are academic
commitments (especially AcReserv e weeks), other military obligations , t he
number of days requested to be absent from USNA, and the "type" of
championship . For e x ample, championships whose only qualification for
participating is paying a fee (a "pay-to-play" championship vice qualifying
to compete) might not be readily approv ed. Requests to participate in ECA
championships will be submitted to Brigade Operations through the Associate
Dean for Academic Affairs IAW the below timelines .
(1) To better plan for ECAs "championships," ECAs must submit r equest
for attendance at championships well in adv ance - this policy includes
championships for which teams must qualify . For example, a team might not
know if they will make it to their sports " championship" but they still need
to request attendance well in advance , to prepare for the eventuality t hat
they will qualify.
(2) The following timelines will be used :
(a} Requests for attendance at championships during the Fall
Semester must be requested no later than Graduation Day in May of the
preceding y ear .

Equipment Custody
a.
Strict accountability of equipment and property is required to
preclude inadvertent loss or theft and to provide a continuous record of
accountability from the time of receipt or purchase until the item is
surveyed or expended.
Property valued at $250 or more that is not consumed
in normal use and is durable and lasting, will be considered accountable and
part of the inventories. Additionally, property that is valued at under $250
may also be reported as pilferable property.
Pilferable property encompasses
those items valued at less than $250 that have a ready resale value or
application to personal possession making them more susceptible to theft .
Officer Representatives will determine if items are pilferable.
b . The Officer Representative will have ultimate responsibility for the
accountability of activity equipment and will ensure timely inventories are
conducted, custody equipage cards are properly maintained and equipment is
afforded proper care and security. Officer Representatives are to further
ensure the annual activity equipment inventory report is properly submitted
and major discrepancies concerning equipment are submitted in a timely manner
to the ECAO.
c.
The Officer Representative is ultimately responsible for damaged,
destroyed, or missing equipment. Damaged, destroyed or missing equipment

equipment or to repair / replace damaged, destroyed, or missing equipment may
result in the disestablishment of the ECA.
d.
Individual custody records will be prepared for each item of property
or equipment held by the activity for which accountability is required . Each
ECA must hav e a separate member designated to maintain the inv entory
database, who is independent of the custody function and not the President .
e . An activ ity must develop its own custody record cards and maintain a
current file of all equipment . At a minimum, record cards should include
item description (with serial number as applicable), quantity, and date of
purchase or receipt.
f . The Officer Representative will ensure the equipment custody cards
are maintained on a current basis . New cards will be prepared for new
property that qualifies for accountability control . Lost or e x pended
property will be survey ed and a repor t of the survey submitted to the ECAO .
g . Once each quarter, a sight inv entory will be conducted to include all
items on the inv entory report per enclosure (4) . Other items that are
considered appropriate for inclusion as permanent custody are to be added .
The ECAO will be notified immediately so that proper MWF serial number tags
can be placed on the inv entory .
A hard copy of the inv entory report will be
submitted to the ECAO with the EOY report and tracked v ia an electronic
master inventory file which will include the ECA the inventory belongs to,
MWF serial number, condition and description of the item . The final
inventory in April will be conducted jointly by the incoming and outgoing
President for the academic year, under the observation of the Officer
Representativ e .
