Taking my son to tour the academy this summer. Can anyone recommend the best time to visit from their own experiences?
We visited in Summer, it was nice.... lil hot, but niceTaking my son to tour the academy this summer. Can anyone recommend the best time to visit from their own experiences?
Captain who (2019 grad) is presenting my son with his appointment has offered to meet us for lunch prior to awards day and discuss all things KP. We were able to talk with him for about 30 minutes on the phone. He was very gracious with his time and were are so very grateful. EVERYONE we have talked/texted/messaged from KP has been very giving of their time.To parents who want to get info about life at KP while your DS/DD is visiting: Yes, go to the standard information sessions, read the entire catalog, ask administrators questions, etc. But best of all, find a 10-20 year civilian employee, especially a maintenance man or ATR secretary, and ask "What's it like?" Then close your mouth and open your ears for the next 20 minutes.
They have a pre orientation day for the incoming class in May. Find out when it is and show up. You get to walk around the Zoo and check out the classes, see the regiment for formation at morning colors and lunch formation.Taking my son to tour the academy this summer.

Can you better define "lunch prior to awards day" as I may be on campus.Captain who (2019 grad) is presenting my son with his appointment has offered to meet us for lunch prior to awards day and discuss all things KP.

Do you mind me asking how you were put in contact with this person? Was it thru the email address they sent w/ the appointment? I’m trying to find one for my DS - started with our Parents Association but that may not work out….Captain who (2019 grad) is presenting my son with his appointment has offered to meet us for lunch prior to awards day and discuss all things KP.

This graduate of USMMA lives not far from us (which is why he is able to present my DS at his High School awards day). He offered to meet us so we can talk.Can you better define "lunch prior to awards day" as I may be on campus.
It was a regional parent facebook group. One grad responded to me, says he does it when he can and would put me in touch with a grad that lives nearer to us. Within a few hours this individual contacted me! I completed the request for a presenter that came with his appointment but I really doubted they would send someone from NY here.... So like a good mom (with skills of an FBI detective LOL) I started thinking about how I could make this happen. I figured Admission folks probably would reach out to NPA folks anyway... the southeast parents facebook group I thought was my best option as we are not members of NPA yet.Do you mind me asking how you were put in contact with this person?
