    Expert pistol/rifle proficiency

    It can't be all that difficult, my son had never shot anything in his life before and got expert in both.

    Parents Weekend Question

    Not being able to communicate immediately prior to the big event makes the reunion all the more special and sweet :)

    2-7 Signing

    My son spent last summer in China as well. He probably learned more during those 6 weeks than he did during the previous 6 years. Well, not quite, but you get the idea. We too, had no idea where he was going to be when, neither he nor we knew which airline/flight he was going to be...

    mental troubles

    I think it is completely understandable to feel stressed at this point. One huge part of your life is coming to an end and another one is about to start. It doesn't help to know that what awaits you won't be pleasant (Plebe Summer). If I were you, I'd minimize my time here on the forums. Try...

    Plebe Parents During Commissioning Week

    When is Herndon this year? And since I'm asking, does anyone know the date for the Ring Dance? I'm trying to update our club's website and have not found info on these dates :redface:

    Plebe Summer International Mailing Address

    during Plebe Summer my son received mail sent to the official address (the first one you mentioned) from Germany, England and Taiwan just fine. Just add USA to the bottom and you'll be fine.

    May potentially fail a class....

    I would suggest talking to your teacher NOW. Tell him/her why your grades slipped and how much you have riding on passing the class. Ask for extra credit work. Be humble and take responsibility. You might be pleasantly surprised, but teachers are human too, and from what I've heard at my sons'...

    Bringing cell Phone to I day

    You might also want to consider wrapping the phone in a little bubble-wrap --- the detailers don't exactly baby the bags.

    7 mids expelled from USNA over Spice

    And then there are those who got caught but left on their own rather than face getting expelled, like a youngster in DS's company.

    Calfornia Mids

    Currently the Annapolis Parents Club of Southern California (does not include San Diego) has approximately 135 member families. Looking through the directory, I'd say that about a third of these Mids come from LAUSD. That is members alone, many parents choose not to join. You're in good company.

    Any more LOAs going out?

    For the class of 2013 LOAs went out until the end of February (don't know if beyond that), so unless things have changed they could be coming for about 3 1/2 more months.

    hi from china

    Language majors, particularly Chinese and Arabic, are NOT a waste of money and resources, I never said that and neither did the teacher. They are valuable and the only point the teacher was trying to make is a very valid one: Chinese is a difficult language to learn (for me it's especially...

    hi from china

    AF, I hope you didn't misunderstand me, my comments were not directed towards you and your daughter. I knew she had prior language skills, and as a language major myself I definitely applaud her. What I was trying to convey was simply that a total of 4 years of Chinese without prior knowledge...

    hi from china

    During PPW my husband, who is Chinese, had a chance to talk to the/a Chinese teacher, the same person who has been our son's teacher at USNA. During their conversation he mentioned that he would strongly recommend against choosing Chinese as a major unless a student has a background either from...

    hi from china

    Hi Elds, I honestly don't know much about Chinese as a major. My son has completed his minor in Chinese during his Plebe year and is continuing his studies because he loves it. He said the professor is excellent and very interesting, and yes, there is a LOT of writing in Chinese.

    Falcon Stadium: question for all photographers

    Thanks, everyone! I guess I'll be taking a point and shoot, just to be on the safe side. Hoping for a good game :)

    Falcon Stadium: question for all photographers

    I'll be going to my first football game at Falcon Stadium this weekend. I read the online list of what is allowed to bring inside the, but while it said that photography without flash was allowed the list made no mention of lens restrictions for DSLRs. Does anyone have experience in this? I...
