KEEP ALL PAPERWORK! I can only speak from my experience with DS. He had a similar injury but with his wrist. He has retaineed hardware. A plate and several screws. His exam want fine. DoDMERB requested paperwork from ortho surgeon which we sent. Qualification was granted shortly after so he did...

Good luck to everyone searching through all those pictures playing “find Waldo or your plebe”. It helped me tremendously to see his face although sometimes he didn’t look so happy. I would download some to my desktop and print some off and send in a letter to him with comments and questions...

just a little food for thought to new plebe parents. My DS who is a a new firstie(class of 2019 which is so hard to believe) is in Annapolis during an internship. He was lucky enough to make it to the swearing in ceremony on I-Day. He talked to me about how meaningful it was to witness the...

I'm relieved to hear that the sick Mid is recovering and going to be ok. It sounds as if there has been some rumor/speculation around the incident which is unfortunate yet probably expected. Let's hope this stays an isolated case.

Has anyone heard about or have information about the possibility of a mid having viral meningitis? My intent is not to sound an alarm. I am curious as to the validity of the report.

Congrats to your DS! He is going to have some very unique opportunities ahead as a part of this amazing group. Yes, there is a considerable time commitment but it is well worth it. Just a heads up that they go on tour during Spring Break and are headed to Los Angeles this year. Not a bad way to...

Not really advice but think you might benefit from my son's experience so far...he is in class of 2019 and was having very similar feels just a year ago. After Christmas break he "accidentally" said to a friend when asked about when he would be returning to the academy "I'm going HOME in 2 days"...

You will be glad this happened in the long run. My DS had a 6:30am report time last Iday. We were around Alumni Hall at 6:00am. The waiting was killing him so he went on in. At the end of the day when we were able to reunite with our new plebe for our goodbyes he said he was so glad he had an...

Yep! The very instant the class of 2016 was commissioned I received a photo of my new 3/c's new shoulder boards with that well deserved first stripe. He said it felt great and he couldn't help but to keep glancing at his shoulder...lol

Wow! Not really sure of a better word to use as a mom that knows very little about aviation. Thank you for the detailed information. It makes it all seem even more amazing. No doubt it will be in the back of my mind as I hope to watch the Blue Angels practice when I am in Annapolis next week...

I love the reference and "definition" on EFFORT. I watched the video in awe and even passed it on to my plebe as inspiration. Just curious as to why the Blue Angels don't wear G suits?

I would love to know the answers to these questions too

Thanks Row2020...ordering mine today⚓️

I absolutely love this! I looked on the website and it seems there are options to choose size and color. What size did you choose and is the periwinkle blue or light blue. Sometimes it's hard to judge colors online thank you for sharing this!

My DS is a current plebe and has a permanent lower retainer and removable upper retainer.
