Soon you'll realize how little you really need an actual bank. I don't know the last time I used an actual bank for anything personal. I have had USAA as our/my bank since 1982 (oh my!!!), never seen one, or even some close to one of their ATMs. And now they have this cool app where you can...

My DS does not post, but he told us he was much more relaxed and ready for IDay without my drama that morning. Saying goodbye at the airport the day before was much better for him emotionally. That morning all he had to focus on was the academy. He would do it that way again, and would...

I wondered this myself, my son said he got quite a few, including a "heritage" pin. Thanks for any insights. :)

Agreed, congrats to all 2014!! Got the call yesterday afternoon! Tears in our eyes listening to him describe the walk down the darkened hallway, all the congrats from the upperclassmen. The props and wings he got pinned on later!!! So proud, I can't hardly describe it. It's also almost...

I have to agree, we paid private ed from Jan to June, still wasn't quite comfortable with claiming him on our taxes. Did the quick and easy 1040EZ, simple as can be, with Fed and State, he got back almost $600. I did our taxes with and without him, the difference was minimal, certainly not...

I have to admit being surprised as well. It didn't seem like all that much money was spent on us, agreed we paid for everything, including having to pay for the meals we ate on base. I had not been out there since the early 80's and it definitely helped ease my mind. I guess now parents have...

I have to agree, flying in Thursday no later than lunch is a must. You can't pass up the opportunity to see your cadet Thursday night, and it is a very early start Friday morning. I have to tell you the whole time leading up to PW, my son repeated again and again "No way, why would I want you...

Awesome game, wished we could have been there!! My cadet said it was the best game he has ever watched, loved storming the field after!!

Can't wait to see it and enjoy it. Laura and Mike

Love, love, love technology. Couldn't make it to ADay, but got a fabulous picture today!! Pinning on shoulder boards, love it!!

I agree great job thanking the cadre for phone use. Those phone calls are so precious!!:thumb:

Thanks so much. He is thrilled to be able to get away from his meetings and see the DS. Hopefully he will be able to recognize him from all the other thousand doolies out there, LOL

My husband will be out in the Denver area during that time, so he can go to the Academy to watch them march out to Jack's on the 11th? How does he know where to go and what time? Thanks.

Wahoo, we got a letter yesterday!! It was so great to hear from him!! We were thrilled to hear how upbeat and good he sounded. He seemed pretty positive, which made us feel so much better. Other than very tired of standing all day, he seemed quite happy. Yeah us!! We live in VA. We have seen...

Agreed, love the videos!!!

I agree, thanks for checking on our kids. So wish we were closer. Love the pics from webguy!!! What a great thing to have!!

I did see my ds and he looked quite happy to have the cadre yelling at the guy in the row just in front and then just behind him. I guess we got lucky to find him in the photos and he got lucky the cadre just missed him LOL

I just happen to be a huge fan of USAA banking and insurance. We have had both since 1982. Retired military and they have followed us all over the world. My three favorite things they offer, car insurance EVERYWHERE!!!, rebates on ATM fees, and web deposits for checks (which means I do not...

Just wanted to send our thanks as well. We meet quite a few new families and the cadet who sat in our area was fab!! He was quite entertaining and shared great information. We definitely rolled in our seats quite a few times. It was a great night, and we really appreciate your hard work...

Good luck, y'all. I have heard a few rumors, sorry to hear them actually. I agree to punish all for the sins of the few.... that is the way of the military I have to say. I will keep my fingers crossed because we are certainly looking forward to having all of y'all there to talk to!!
