After speaking with his company aviation officer he has decided not to pursue PPL. He is going to focus on getting as high in class rank as possible to increase his chances. The aviation officer did suggest getting a flight simulator for PC with controls. Anybody got one to sell? Out of stock...

Thanks. Saw him over Thanksgiving and asked who was telling him that he needed PPL. He said some firsties. Maybe he misunderstood. Maybe powered flight is what they meant. Do you have anymore info about that?

Do parents need to sign up somewhere for I day picnic sponsored by Alumni assoc?

If this info is available a week prior to I day, how do they find out? Is it sent to them in email? On portal?

Will he need them during plebe summer for sailing?

DS wants a nice pair of sunglasses for a high school graduation present. I know there are certain restrictions on what kind they can have. Please give any advice. Thanks!

I set up a Navy Federal CU account online for DS. PTR packet had form to fill out to set up account but I already did it. It also had a perforated form at the bottom regarding direct deposit of Navy pay to the account. Does he send that in or turn it in I day?

He is a cross country/track runner already so he pretty much knows what is good for his foot. He has some good shoes but they have color. If that is not a problem, he may just use them.
