    Pictures of Plebe Summer

    Thanks. I have tried to utilize the "dropshots" site but I can't seem to get through to the picture page. I registered but I can't seem to figure out how to get to the pictures. Any help on how to do it would be great.

    Pictures of Plebe Summer

    Does anyone know what sites I can go on to view pictures of Plebe Summer? There were several sites that we were able to view 3 years ago when my son was a Plebe but I just don't remember them. He is now a Plebe Summer Detailer and I was hoping to catch a glimpse of him in some of the...

    Things I wish I had know before I-Day/PS

    I completely agree with these two posts. Before I-Day 2010, I read these forums so thoroughly - I was a wealth of information. I would print off responses filled with information that I thought would benefit my son in preparation for Plebe summer. However, he wanted nothing to do with this...

    Putting it in perspective

    Grandparents visited son this weekend in Annapolis - went somewhere for a drink after the game (son ordered a glass of water). The waiter thanked my son for his service to our country and before he could state that he was a student at the Academy, the owner came to the table and said "Your...

    PPW - Things not to do

    That is exactly what our son told us. He has stated that the 8 hours of sleep per night is driving him crazy! He also has been sending letters home with "subjects" written down to remind him all of the stories that he wants to tell us when we're with him. He told me to bring all of the letters...

    Plebe Summer - First Phone Call on Sunday July 11th

    Mongo - It is very obvious, based on your many responses to just about every thread on this forum, that you are well aware that many people use this forum for purposes other than those mentioned above. Parental support is a part of this forum - and you can't change that.

    Plebe Summer - First Phone Call on Sunday July 11th

    Mongo - Let it go!! Blackhawkmom did what she had to do and no one should blame her for it. Stop making assumptions and creating drama based on your interpretation of the situation. Your relationship with your mom and your son's relationship with you has nothing whatsoever to do with her...

    I-Day Family Picnic

    I have a question regarding the USNA Alumni Association Family Picnic that is scheduled for I-Day – Do the Plebes attend this picnic and if so, is it mandatory? If we don’t attend the picnic, will we get the chance to see our son at some point during the day? I know that there has been so much...

    Permit to Report Packet

    My son no longer has braces but he has an upper permanent retainer that is "glued" to the inside of his mouth - Does this necessitate a waiver?
