Yes, and you will affectionately be referred to as a "Drag" (because that's what your Plebe is assigned to do to you as he/she goes about his/her schedule during your visit) :smile:

Actually, during football season, the Brigade does occasionally get extra time off for good behavior. It's called a "meritorious weekend," and it is granted by the Dant at his discretion (generally following Navy wins, which the Dant openly attributes to the "good behavior" shown by the...

Last year, the Plebes' PPW Town Liberty expired at midnight on Saturday, but most everyone headed back toward the Yard much earlier than that to avoid the traffic crush (which will be significant ... expect to see lots of Plebes jumping out of cars and running back to the Yard). Bear in mind...

Although this happened last year and, by all reports, in many years prior, be aware that current MIDNs are NOT supposed to be giving out the information you are getting. So, in communicating about any of this, please do NOT volunteer your source.

This topic was covered about a year ago (no surprise): Google search on "COMDTMIDNINST 6100.2A" to get the Brigade Intramural Sports Program Instruction update from 2 April 2014 (it's a PDF). Page 13 of the PDF has the bracket with all of the (official?) company names. There are...

Reliable rumor from summer 2013 says "yes." Only one flag per room is necessary, but a back-up couldn't hurt.

Can't speak for this year's protocol, but DD (Class of 2017) had the same thing on that page -- "no records returned" -- for the duration of her candidacy and application process.

There is one other usage dimension that will be largely out of your control (because as a Plebe you will not always be deciding where you can be or when) which is where you are in Bancroft. Some of the decks have horrible service with all carriers, and calling can be frustrating and/or impossible.

Lots of reasons for that question, I suspect. Understanding part of the context for the whole person is one, I would surmise. Understanding how the applicant communicates about difficult topics might be another. Just speculating here, of course. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

She has her eyebrow-raising moments but, yes, she generally does when it matters most. Thanks.

This conversation is almost about the opposite of what happened at our end. DD (USNA 2017) was approached by her school's Administration and asked if she would let her BGO and a local USNA grad (Class of '93, now on the faculty at USNA) present her appointment folder at the senior awards...

USNA Admissions Information System (AIS) I have been following this thread, and have been variously confused, frustrated and upset on behalf of the waitlisted principal-nom candidates. I, too, thought that the principal nomination plus 3Q was a guarantee. I did an internet search to see what...

Only on a service-academy site would the phrase "more normal college life" be used in the same sentence with "MIT." :wink:

For that to work where we are (MA), DD would have to change her legal residence from MA to MD (and get a MD license, file taxes from MD, etc.).

Add him for now, then have him classified as an inactive driver from I-Day until his first leave (Thanksgiving, perhaps, or Christmas/New Years). It's pretty simple to toggle the coverage on and off that way, and saves a lot of $.

DD (Class of 2017) has the same type of permanent retainer behind her bottom teeth, and it caused no problems on I-Day. The key word here is "active," which implies the need for ongoing regular appointments for maintenance, etc.

Great story! (DD is also a Plebe this year). I think the last-minute decisions are a good introduction to life at USNA and life in the Navy. Flexibility and a positive attitude are key (not only for the MIDNs, but also for parents)(MIDNs are more important). From the parent's perspective, I...

Member of Congress appointment.

DD got what she wanted: Block 0 cruise (still tbd where); Block 1 NASS Detail; Block 2 leave; Block 3 mandatory sports camp.
