  ANNAPOLIS, MARYLANDThroughout its long history, the U.S. Naval Academy has produced prominent leaders, like former President Jimmy Carter and Senator John McCain. The academy prepares young men and women to become officers in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps. But not all of its undergraduate students - known as midshipmen - are American. Dozens are foreign exchange students who return home to serve their countries after graduating.

  David Ochy of Panama is one of about 60 foreign exchange students currently studying at the U.S. Naval Academy in historic Annapolis, Maryland.

  Leaving the comfort zone of your country, to come here to a culture and language completely different from your own and adapt, has been a challenge, said Ochy.

  It opens a cultural horizon so that one understands American culture better, and is more involved in the culture, said Santiago Gonzalez-Ayer, an exchange student from Spain.

  The Naval Academy was founded in 1845 on the grounds of an old fort.

  Academys mission

  The academy says its mission is to prepare students to serve as officers in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps. It strives to develop competence, character and compassion in its midshipmen.
