    Fax down at NEX

    USMMA Class of 2019 Parents are available

    I am not a 2019 parent, but I've been down the road twice. If you are local and can make it to drop your child off at Indoc, that is great. But - if you have to make a choice between Indoc and Parents Weekend, by all means opt for Parents Weekend. At Indoc, you will be able to stay with your...

    Band Co.

    TexasSailor and Gofish - never mind, it's not letting me send you PMs. But - my son was a recruited athlete, 4 year starter on his team, and was in Band Co. He loved it all.

    Bears Bring Back the Cup!!

    Flag What happened with the flag (I saw it as it happened): some Mids "borrowed" a CGA flag and as they were running with it out of the stadium, a Cadet tried to stop them. The flag was torn as each tried to keep hold of it. The Mids did not destroy the flag intentionally. That being...

    Football I was at the game Saturday along with my son, a 4 year player when he was at KP. Even when KP was in the lead, I felt like CGA was the stronger team. Congrats to the Bears.

    Contacted my new ALO

    good advice up to a point Very good advice from the poster regarding emailing your new ALO, as well as the substance of that email. One thing I don't agree with - do not "cut and paste".

    12 quit on I-Day

I saw the same thing when my sons went to USMMA - a number of young men and women left very quickly, as it had not really been their dream, it was their parents' dream. When...

    Helicopter Parents

    have never contacted the school I have a 2010 graduate and a current member of 2013. In all the time since my son walked into OHara for Indoc, I have NEVER contacted the school about ANYTHING. As was stated earlier, most Mids would be mortified if they knew that their parent was calling the...
