I keep forgetting to ask my son this when we talk (which as I am sure you all know, talking to a Plebe is a rare event!) On I-day, Plebes were administered necessary vaccinations. Some may have required follow up vaccination dates.. Does USNA remid the mids about these dates? I can pretty...

Okay, another newbie parent question. Son has a scheduled dental cleaning with hometown dentist during Christmas break.... should I cancel? Does USNA get the kids in for cleanings during the school year? With Army/Navy week coming up and finals...I doubt I'll get much time to chit chat with...

Son still has plebe hack and it's even worse since he arrived Wed night. Heading to the doctor as soon as he wakes up. In regards to insurance, do we use ours or is there something special to do with Navy? We have only the option of the nearby urgent care clinic.

Any USNA parents living overseas? My 'singaporemom' status came while living in singapore several years agao, but we are in Texas now. Just found out we're heading to China. For now we are keeping our house in the US so we can come back for holidays for our plebe. Will DS have any time to visit...

Son sounded fantastic! He's received the care packages, gets to keep everything. Joined the choir, qualified expert in pristol, marksman in rifle, upped his personal best in pushups and running, likes drill, looking into the sports, trying to figure out his major. Everything is POSITIVE! I can...

If you are not using military credit union for direct deposit, be sure to ask your bank for a signed direct deposit form. I have been going over the to do list with my son for months now and just noticed this....I was thinking he needed to bring just a deposit slip. :redface: He emailed bank...

After congressional visits, senior night, NJROTC night, grad party, etc etc, son declined to go to the district BGO dinner and parent group BBQ. Being busy busy this last week, I didn't worry too much about it and took the break in schedule as a relief. Yesterday I asked him why he didnt want to...
