Be careful about sending items...every company is different but in 2011 we sent our Plebe items 'recommended' on boards and he had too much to store to his company's liking. Couple items confiscated as contraband (e.g. small fllashlight) Ended up pitching many brand new items including snacks...

My mid says its 'ok'...Buffalo Chicken is the best and most popular...the alleged Greek food is not good at all...

Good information but have a question...Navy has played in Philly before so how does that work for Mids? Mine will be a youngster, we are trying to figure out if we should stay in Annapolis Fri, Sat and drive to Philly or stay in Philly. Typically how much can you see your mid on Army weekend...

Not to be morbid, but call it what it is essentially, Death Insurance. In my opinion, unless a mid is supporting someone, only carry enough to deal with funeral expenses. I advised my mid to choose the smallest amount. As his family situation changes, the mid can bump it up. I cannot see any...

Yes, neugs, thanks for your openness. I have a plebe now, and its hard and yes I believe most had those emotions you had. Neugs, I believe you will be very successful, your words show you have much honor and honesty. The same qualities the Academy recognized in you to offer you the appointment...

What time is the evening formation? I understand the mid day one is 12:05pm. Is there a morning formation? Thanks in advance

Its about managing time...Class of 2011 had one who did an excellent job http://www.patriotleague.org/sports/c-tennis/spec-rel/070611aab.html

Know some (not sure of the number) companies let their plebes send a quick email to their parents...maybe part of a test? We were surprised to receive a very short email from ours yesterday afternoon. Asked for a couple things for PPW, reminded us of the call last night, said his laptop was...

So how are the Platoon assignments working out? Been told the Bearsharks (25) is living up to its reputation...

Agreed on keeping spirits up...one last question, most are 18+ now...if they get moved to Tango, will parents be notified?

The DOR on I Day...no shows or left on I Day or combination? A good number in Tango now? Any idea of the approximate number? Someone said they have to be in Tango 30 days...I thought it was 7, thanks

Do the plebes play sports they were recruited in or have been asked to try to walk on in? I know some have played soccer, done gymnastices, and all, know most of the upperclassmen won't be back until plebe summer ends, so is that when sports begin in earnest or will walk on decisions be made...

Has Thorton started posting any pix yet? Any idea when they will?

Good luck M-guy...if I were in your position I would probably be doing about the same things. I would be very frustrated at the wait...thankfully not in that position but I feel for those having to wait. I don't envy the Navy's challenge is selecting their Plebes to be, nor do I think its...

I think its more of a CPA question...however from http://www.irs.gov/publications/p970/ch08.html Qualified tuition programs (QTPs) are also called “529 plans.” Exceptions. The 10% additional tax does not apply to distributions: Made on account of the attendance of the designated...

Having never been there I was wondering if the O'Callaghan Hotel is considered within walking distance. Someone told me its about a mile...not sure if my better half considers that walking distance...

For USNA, after Plebe summer are they allowed to have iPods? Seems like I read somewhere it was company dependent...trying to figure graduation gifts...I may have read where no iPods but allowed to have iPhone...thanks.

We've always carried just enough insurance to cover funeral expenses for our children...of course you hope to never use it. Why get 400,000 worth of insurance for someone with no dependents? We are counseling our plebe to be to get the minimum amount, 50,000 and name us as beneficiaries to take...

I have seen some comments indicating a Candidate could get an offer of appointment very close to the day they were to report. How exactly does this come about? Is it because appointees are notifying an Academy late they are now turning down the appointment they had accepted? Is there any...

I cannot per say answer for the SA's, but I work for a Fortune 100 company and we have QPR's, Quality Performance Reviews...somewhat educated guess would be its the same.
