Navy Club Lax is on this year. Check out their new website navyclublax.com They have try outs and fall ball. Their season is in Spring.

I agree with NavyHoops. If you are struggling to make your decision, and if you will be worried every time you play, don't play. My DS never had to struggle to play football and lacrosse in his senior year. He never had to make decisions, as he knew he was going to play. Of course, as a Mom...

Congratulations! Great job!

Jarhead1775, Congrats on receiving a CVW invite. However, if your heart is set for USNA and you already attended NASS, you do not need to attend CVW to increase your chance of receiving an appointment. My DS was a captain and a starting RB of the HS football team. DS applied for both USNA...

Lax club is back Men's Lacrosse Club is back this year. Try out will be on September the 3rd. I just shipped my son's lacrosse gear to the sponsor's house from CA. They will be delivered on August 29.:thumb:

mjm, Congrats! Although the LOA letter has been cc'd to MOC, I would still have your son notify MOC that he received an LOA. bennington1, teacher recommendations are very important. I think the board waits for recommendations before having a meeting to decide on LOA. My DS knew that his...

Last year while watching fireworks, Plebes got to eat Popsicle and depending on the company, they were asked to say something like "Wooo" for the Blue fireworks, "Ahhh" for Red, and "Boo" for Green. The class of 2016 Plebes in his company had to say "Beat Army" when they saw the green fireworks...

Reporting time was 18:00 on Sunday last year and you will hear the Christmas music. Now a days some Plebes go home for Thanksgiving, but some time ago, Plebes were not allowed to go home until Christmas after PPW. That is why you hear the Christmas music when you drop your Mids off at Bancroft.

Here is the link to see the Company logo. I only know about Company 29 and their current mascot is "Flying Squirrels" and not 29 Palms. You can download the logo and I am planning on using it when making a memory book for the Plebe year. I better start working on it. The Plebe year went so...

My Mid (Youngster) is in Company 29. During the Plebe summer, it is called 29 Platoon and when the AC (academic) year starts, it is called Company 29. So during the summer, the letters should be addressed as MIDN 4/C First Name Last Name P Company 29 Platoon Annapolis, MD 21412 When...

I remember my DS's high school sent the final transcript directly to USNA last year. Make sure they write your candidate number. I think USNA would want to see your final grades for verification and validation purposes, so even if you don't see that mentioned in PTR, I would still send it now.

I gave DS Luminox SEAL watch as a graduation gift last year. It was expensive and he loved it as it was cool looking, but one of the parts came off during the Plebe year and he bought G-shock. The shop fixed Luminox with no charge, but my DS prefers using G-shock as it does not break even you...

After the Oath, DS had enough time to sit down, eat, call, take pictures, etc before marching into the Bancroft Hall. I was not sure if my DS was hungry, but I still brought a light sandwich, fruits (something easy to eat like grapes), snacks (power bar), and cold drinks in a small cooler bag...

You fill out as much as possible on SF 86 worksheet and you later enter information to actual SF86 on-line after the Plebe summer using the worksheet you prepared. Please make sure you make all the copies of PTR forms and bring them with you on an I-day. DS took the originals to be handed in on...

Sorry, but I don't have complete copies of PTR with me as my DS took them, but I don't think he needed to have alpha number or code in order to fill PTR forms out. I think most of the forms asked for either candidate # or social security #. Maybe forms have been changed from last year? If that...

DS received it on I-day last year

Last year, my DS had an early report time of 06:30 and he said he had some down time. If you report early, you have less people in each line. Say, you have a short line to have your hair shaved/cut. He said he spent quite a long time putting his name (alpha code) down on each of the issued...

Don't worry if family members cannot attend the I-day. Detailers will be handing out cell phones for Plebes to call home and there was a tent of 1966 alumuni (for this year 1967) to support Plebes with no family members, I think. I cannot believe its been almost one year and I can never forget...

I am not 100%, but the earliest was 6:00 AM and the latest was 9:00 AM for the non-NAPS Plebes. My son's reporting time was 6:30, but arrived 6:10 or somthing and he did not need to wait to go inside the Alumni Hall. If your reporting time is early, you obviously need to wake up early, but...

3 applied and 3 appointed From my DS's high school, 3 students(2 male and 1 female) applied to USNA and they were from the same congressional district, and all 3 were appointed. It is a small high school, but all 3 were considered great fit to USNA. This was for the class of 2016. My DS had...
