    Congratulations on Breakout VMI '16

    My Rat was glad it started snowing somewhat since that is what happened on Breakout day for his Dyke a few years ago. His Dyke was communicating with us early afternoon (around 2-3pm) to keep us updated on our son's progress with Breakout. The final sweat party with the Dykes was real intense...

    Congratulations on Breakout VMI '16

    Waiting to hear from VMI

    I remember this same time last year. We were waiting and waiting. I called home everyday in the late afternoon but nothing. Then the weekend hit and nothing still. We knew of others who had already received deferral letters so that made it more and more nerve racking! I called home from work...

    VMI Application

    Never give up... The only advice I would give is for you to NOT give up. If you don't get accepted now, who is to say you can't try again at a later date? Others have started their college life at other colleges and kept trying and eventually were accepted by VMI. I have even heard of people...

    VMI at USNA football-Rat apermit confirmation

    You are correct. The Commandant is taking the whole corps of cadets to Annapolis. Those Rats who have a parent or guardian present, are free to take their Rat home on Saturday. As far as the P's and Q's, I have no idea the specific steps they have to take on their end. They obviously won't...

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The pride in my son's voice was beyond description. Like you said, it's like he is a changed person already. So very proud of ALL of them!
