Shutterbug, we were unfortunate that Parent's Weekend wasn't on Labor Day weekend last year. It fell on the next weekend. That's the reason our guys had to be back on Sunday. I think on the other years, they have been allowed to stay out until Monday.

I'm not sure. Call Travel Professional Services at 1-850-678-6688. This is the agency the Academy uses for travel. Ask for either Jenny, Sherry or Holly. One of them could probably answer your question.

Plane Ticket We had he same situation last year coming from Texas. I found the flights we wanted. I then called the travel agency on the Indoc Information packet. I told them the flights we were booking. They booked and paid for our sons flight and sent me the itinerary. I then booked our...

Missed the Open House....but.... Our DS missed the Open House but did an overnight and he got plenty out of that. It is more one-on-one. He is a wrestler and we requested he stay with another wrestler. Worked out great because he met several of the team and got a personal tour from the coach...

Beware of dishonest cab drivers Just a warning. Our DS used Friendly Cab to La Guardia as recommended by the Texas Parents Association. He rode with another M/S and the cab driver charged them $32 each. They didn't think anything of it but we questioned it when he got home. So I called Friendly...

Being newbie's to all of this. The Parents Page info says the dress is informal for Friday along with what that means. But, what about Beat Retreat since we have heard that it gets really warm in the gym. Are shorts appropriate?Also, it says that Saturday is casual. Not exactly sure what this...
