Does anybody know if it is required or recommended or even relevant to have wisdom teeth removed before reporting? I say this as I write a check to a dental surgeon we were referred to by our son's dentist who referred us because his son is a Plebe at USNA and he was required to have his...

Our son was notified today he has been accepted into NAPS 2014. The envelope came while is was and still is at HS Lacrosse practice, so we took it to the field for him to open. We are all excited, but have several questions. We have a son who is a senior at USMMA, but expect this place to be...

Our mid was telling us about this. I don't think it passes objective scrutiny, since it is based on nothing objective at all. It is based solely on student input on the RATEMYPROFESSOR website. I think this website is like a popularity contest, and I think the profs with the highest...

2 Weeks ago our Plebe was SUPER SUPER STRESSED about a Physics I test. He did quite well, but credits 16 hours of studying with another Plebe and 2 visits to a GREAT Tutor with his success. As I understand it 13 of the 22 Plebes in his class failed that Physics Test. There is another test...

Just heard that the academic class schedules were given to the Plebes very recently. Let the gnashing of teeth begin as the dark ages are upon us all (plebes and parents alike). I'm looking forward to the November break but keeping one eye open and focused on the dark ages. Makes me wonder...

Does anybody keep statistics of how many people enter a class that finish and graduate? More importantly, what are the reasons for the drops? My wife talked to an upperclassman's father today who apparently painted a grim picture. 75% failure rate for statistics. 197 graduated out of 300...

Is it advised to put the candidate's name on the things they bring? Seems like there is going to be about 1800 white towels floating around. If so, how should they mark the items? Does the incoming class of 2013 need fans? If so how small or big? Window type or floor type? Oscillating...

Since KP will provide most of what they need (at least what is not on the packing list), I was curious what parents are doing for HS graduation gifts? I have long been planning to create a memory as the last father-son outing before he goes off on his big adventure. Since we both ride...

Does anybody know if I should keep medical insurance in place for my son while at USMMA. A friend of mine's son goes to USCGA, and he dropped med insurance after Swab Summer. Then I noticed in some chat that we pay for wisdom teeth removal. I don't want to be exposed to any risk, so are the...

My son was accepted as principal to USMMA and USCGA. I think he is leaning USMMA. However, I notice that he spends quite a bit of time on Facebook talking to other kids across the nation on a group the CGA advertised right in his Acceptance Letter. There are over 100 kids in the group. He...
