What does BGO mean in Military?

Blue and Gold Officer

BGOs are volunteers who typically have some affiliation with USNA. Many are graduates. Some are parents of current mids or grads. Most are civilians but some are on active duty. Those who are on active duty also do BGO work as volunteers.BGOs are primarily there to be the personification of the Candidate Guidance Office. With roughly 20,000 applications per year, CGO can’t personally advise and interview every candidate. Thus, CGO relies on a network of BGOs to do this on their behalf. BGOs are generally assigned to one or more high schools. In any given year, each BGO may be working with between one and twenty-five candidates. BGOs are responsible for conducting the BGO interview that is required as part of the application package. They answer questions from candidates and often will present the appointment certificate at a school ceremony.
