"considering" imo this is an important part of the process. CHOOSING to stay. "Choose your Love, Love your choice" its up to them to make is a good decision

Absolutely and they need to be able to let off steam. I just don't want my Mid to feel trapped. She can leave. If she's trapped it's by her desire to serve in the Navy. Bottom line, Life IS tough and relentless and all we can control is our attitude. Those are the pep talks she is also...

Encouraging to my Mid during this time has been the Alumni outreach. She has taken advantage of their graciousness and has 'met' with several. One told her to hang on till the Fleet, that the leadership this alumna found there was, at times, laudable. Also said that sometimes leadership is...

DD says they were told last semester he 'wouldn't shotgun because they had bigger things to worry about'. Why is her accuracy less accurate?

DD "Almost everyone I've talked to is considering DORing"

Not to mention being told more than once by the Dant Shotgunning wasn't gong to happen......

Me too, I am glad they can still decide. I think confidence in leadership is quite low, especially in leadership honesty. Dant repeatedly said shotgunning would not happen. My mid is very focused on service in the Fleet, has always been her goal, but she is now thinking NROTC might have been...

Just very frustrating for many Mids because shotgunning was mentioned more than once as being completely off the table by the Dant....Perception is truth is difficult to come by, "It's crazy to me how they just prove it can always get worse".....At least they can still decide to stay or not...

goosebumps for sure

My Plebe No More said last night "This is the leadership we need for this time" she is so appreciative and impressed with the Super and the Dant

We've had snow squalls off and on today, with some accumulation. 3 years ago today is was 91 degrees.........

Same with DD, found her notes in the trash already.......she was also THRILLED with her 76 on the final

"She belongs to them now, we are out of the loop" Our girl is so strong willed it's kind of a relief for me, I took her as far as I could.....as we walked away on I Day I whispered "Good Luck" to USNA :)

I agree. DD has also mused if summer blocs will be waylaid by make up classes. I'm sure everything is on the table and only time will tell. Unprecedented events provide unprecedented opportunity for innovation and adaptation as well.

My Mid happens to have her laptop and said most textbooks are online, she's not concerned because she said 'we are all figuring this out together, it will work out'

Plebes declared this past week.... There were many seminars and orrprtunities to learn about all the majors during the first semester.

I totally agree, one of the reasons Garth Brooks' song "Thank God for Unanswered Prayers" resonated so much for me

She bloomed where she was planted!!! Great story, bonus points for listening to Mom as well ;)
