    car insurance for midshipmen

    My DS is a plebe this year and when i spoke with our Ins. (think lizard) they told me as long as he was going to school more than 500 miles away and would not have a car we could drop him from the coverage and he would be insured as a casual driver. Saved us a ton of money.

    USNA Wait List–Information?

    A Primary nom is not a Pricipal nom. The Principal nom is the candidate that the MC is telling the SA to take, but the Primary nom is number one on a ranked slate from the MC, but the SA is still alowed to take anyone from the slate.

    Still in the game

    I don't think she was lying but falling victom to rumors, I too have a plebe and was there on I-day and it is true that a young lady was crying and asking her parents to take her home with them, but she did stay and go through the official process of leaving. I think she was alowed to leave a...

    Multiple Offers? What are your thoughts?

    Military officers olso analyse all options and posible outcomes before a decision is made. To call someone selfish for taking their time to make a life changing decision is just rude, especially a 17 or 18 year old. Do you believe the same for the kids that are trying to decide between an SA...

    Parents at I-Day or Parents' Weekend?

    Blondie 1: Our DS was lucky enough to be invited to his roomates house for Thanksgiving who lived in Alabama. Some mids stay with their sponser families. You will find they are very resourcfull and will always find a solution.

    Multiple Offers? What are your thoughts?

    but a prom is not a life changing event, this could be one of the most important decisions a young man or women makes. The academies know this happens every year and give out more offers then there is room in the class, so if someone does turn down an offer it may not be given to someone else.

    Multiple Offers? What are your thoughts?

    The flip side the coin is that this is a very big decision not just about where they will go to college, but where they will work for at least 5 years after that, so taking the time to evaluate all options is a very wise thing.

    Parents at I-Day or Parents' Weekend?

    We did both, however he is our only child. I-day there is a lot of information available to parents and a brief by the UNSA leadership. You will only get to spend about 20 minutes with your plebe after they take the oath. PPW-this was the most imprtant for our plebe, after dealing with...

    Fate of NCAA gymnastics, boxing, fencing and rifle team

    As it has been stated before football makes money and therefore pays for itself along with other sports. If these other sports paid for their own programs then I am sure they would not be on the chopping block. There are plenty of club sports at the SAs that are fully funded by the Cadets, MIds...

    Complete Shutdown Possible

    I'm curious, where in Clearview's post did they say they were a parent of a third class mid. They didn't express their opinion, they just quoted a news article. I'm sure they are just as reliable as a third class mid as to what goes on behind the closed doors of the CoC. The article quotes a...
