Congratulations to you and your son!! GoNavyMom

This is a link to the part of the USNA admissions website where the schedule of sessions at the admissions office is posted. This session is a lecture given by an admission's office staff person, usually a recent USNA grad waiting for their next assignment. It is definitely worth it. Also...

I needed a good cry today! Great articles! With a DD MID who wants to go Marines, it made me very proud to think that my daughter would one day be the one to possibly make a difference in someone's life. GoNavyMom

Based on recent experience, DoDMERB will separately list each remedial and request specific info for each matter. GoNavyMom

Attending NASS and STEM do not eliminate you for consideration for a CVW but you may not be invited until USNA has reviewed your application or offered you an appointment. GoNavyMom

If the essay question is the same, and you truly want to change it up, think about what has changed from last time to this time. You are doing it right now, applying to USNA a second time. Did going through the application process once and now going through it a second, have an impact on who...

Hi, Your soon-to-be plebe will be given stationary, pens and stamps.

Assignment arrived yesterday. DS, Alpha 1

Thanks Gabsmomfl. Yes, I am very proud (and a little bit of an airhead right now). Just when I felt like I could breathe a little easier, here I go again. Make sure you pack a seat belt and bring along your sense of humor for the USNA ride. And Semper Gumby!! I am glad I will be in good...

Actually DS is Class of 2015 (DD is 2013). As you can see, I may have already lost it . . .

Hi from New York, DD is Class of 2015 and he is still waiting for Company assignment. Two weeks from today . . .

If you drop off your son and then park, you run the risk of having him already have entered Alumni Hall by the time you return. I would leave an hour to get from stadium to Yard but that's me (I am the one at the airport at least two hours before a flight.) Congratulations!!

There's an admissions office address on the USNA Admissions page. Here's the link: http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/contact.htm. I don't know if this is the same address on your letter. However, whenever some doc required a USNA admissions address, my DS used this address.

I am pretty sure if you make the wrestling team, USNA will require you to register with NCAA. Having gone through this with my DD (registering with NCAA after she got to the Academy), I would suggest you take care of it now. The registration not only requires a $65 fee but also requires you...

I-Day Haircut: My DD cut her hair a few days before I-Day. However, on I-Day the Shop determined it was not short enough and cut it again. The Shop is not about style. On I-day, before cutting my DD hair, the Shop did not remove the hair clip she had in her. As a result, the front part of...

The application for tickets should come in the same package as the company number. While the soon to be plebes will be very excited to get their company number, the package it comes in is really more geared toward parents and providing info.

Hurricane, I am not sure I would agree with this advice. As a BGO, I would expect a better explanation of how the time was spent and would have to look at the whole person, but "goofing off" for six months would certainly impact my rating of a candidate. If the six months were spent traveling...

Hi, My DD is currently a MID. She took four years of Latin in HS, including AP in her her senior year. Latin did count as a language on her USNA application.

I have to disagree. Dau does seem like he is among the best and brightest. Just because someone is athletic, doesn't mean they are not smart. These hs kids are actually referred to now as student-athletes (emphasis on student). The article quoted Dau as saying he will serve anywhere in the...
