    A window into their world.....

    Welcome Aboard Picnics And if you've accepted your CGA appointment and you're from the Delaware Valley Region (Delaware, New Jersey and Southeastern PA), save the date of June 7th! :thumb:

    AIM and Asthma prior to age 13

    My daughter was in a similar situation and we were told to be pro-active. We had our pediatrician send us to a pulmonary specialist and she was tested. (forget the name of the specific test) I remember sitting in that office with her thinking that day would make the difference in her...

    Coast Guard WOW Factor

    CGA all the way! :) Haven't been on this forum for quite some time. (DD is CGA 2015) I am reminded from your post of a similar time in our lives. I can't say for sure how your DS will feel, but I can tell you that my daughter is VERY glad she chose CGA over other academies...and it wasn't...

    Physical Readiness

    Insanity? I can't even begin to tell you how important it is to run. I've heard comments like, "my son was in 'football' shape, but he wished he had run more," and personally, my daughter was in the best shape of her life, but still wished she had taken the advice to run more seriously. That...

    2012 Mystic Flag Ceremony

    a few questions......

    re: field hockey My DD is currently a 4/c at CGA and played only field hockey in high school. (So you can be appointed with only one varsity sport, even if it's not offered at the Academy.) Once she got to the Academy, she decided to play rugby and loved it. She also considered lacrosse for...

    Phone calls for appointments

    Last year DD did not receive a phone call...so don't stop the mailman stalking!

    CGA Incoming class expected to be most diverse ever

    :frown: It saddens me greatly to read this thread. It is the first I have heard of this. My DD received no special invitation to arrive early to be acclimated in advance. Is she any less important? Not to me...
