Hi all! Just wanted to join you all here- I imagine i will be here quite a lot in the coming years . My son, Bo, received his appointment to USNA right before Christmas break and will be leaving this summer to join the class of 2014!!!!
A couple of quick questions for all you veterans- we have not made any kind of announcements- is there a press release to be sent to the local newspaper or should we contact his B&G officer. He has not signed his acceptance letter yet. Is that something he should do kind of like the high school athletes sign letters of intent at the school with their parents, coach, and media there? I really would like for him to be recognized for the accomplishment and just want to know the best way to go about it.
Also- does anyone happen to know the dates for Parents weekend in August? The lady I spoke with in admissions was unsure. I know that I day is on July 1st but my husband needs to ask for vacation in advance for parents weekend. Also, is it a Friday-Sunday deal so he would need to be off Thursday and Monday as well for travel time?
Thanks so much for baring with the "newbie" parent and any advice/recommendations you might have would be really appreciated! Thanks!
