To Navy 2022VA: DS winged on September 15 and reported to NAS Jacksonville on Monday this week. He was one of six P8 guys in his class. DS and 4 others reported Monday; one asked for a delayed report. Orders can come any time; other aviators that winged before and after his class are also...

A few push-ups.

DS had some airsickness issues early on before his solo in Primary. He went to the 'chair' to have it spun out of him, as he said. There were usually 2 sessions a day for a bit and this made a tremendous difference on handling the issue. He said they also gave him lots of...

Thanks, 'WT, will do. Yeah, that 2020 commissioning week was a big letdown, especially for us parents. A 4 year build-up and then......poof..... My wife and I stood outside gate 1 with two other sets of parents waiting for our newly minted Ensigns to appear. We were the only ones around...

Greta story 'WT.......I'll be seeing DS this weekend - I'll show him this post. Not sure if he will laugh or cry......

Your kind of stashed where you are per DS. DS comissioned in '20, was TAD in Annapolis till early October of that year and then moved to Pensacola to start flight school (pilot). He is currently in Primary now, about a third of the way through. He is estimating this autumn completing Primary...

Another Michigan appointment- cheers for the Great Lake State!

Me thinks the resturant thread should be a sticky at the Forum top.....!!

I second Cantler's however it is a drive and might be a bit tight for time. I always liked Fox's Den on Main Street; about 1/2 way to Church Circle on the left. Somewhere there is a thread on "Annapolis resturants/where to eat" - lot of good resturant info.....

As the Dr. says above, Chem and Physics. DS (who was homeschooled) validated both Chem 1 and Physics 1 his plebe year, but be ready as Chem 2 and Physics 2 aint easy.....

If you research the posts here, there is more information to glean - go back several years.......you will find more advice. As stated above USNA has had a bunch of homeschooled kids get in and succeed. Our DS graduated/commisioned last May and was homeschooled all the way through HS - he...

And Michigan right behind them.....

There is a lot of stuff out there if you search a bit. I think it is more about technique/slinging it than anything. When DS 'threw' it the first time it went maybe 40 feet. On his CFA throw for submittal it went 93 feet or so; with practice you can improve quite a bit. I estimate I chased...

I always thought "Annapolis Resturants/Where to Eat" was the best thread......always gets me thinking...

Agree with Old Navy above. Hockey is very much like this if you don't play HS varsity. There are travel leagues such as AA and AAA, which require very high levels of committment that includes tryouts and a ton of travel. If you play AAA, its almost exclusive of other sports given time/travel...
