    SWO's picking their ship

    My son says they already know what order they will pick. It is based on their rank but I thought it was more than GPA. I am so excited to watch this and see what he will end up getting! Do any other parents have any idea what their mids may pick?

    Falcon Scholarship

    Our DD got a call last night (and it also showed up on her USAFA portal) that she was being offered a Falcon Scholarship to one of the prep schools. She has 3 days to make a decision. She had given up hope since finding out she didn't make it into the academy, so this came out of left field. I...

    Commissioning Week

    Excellent posts! Thanks for this info. DS is a 2/C and we rented a house already for next year. My husband tried to book rooms for next year last month and could only find one hotel in DTA that would book a room for less than 300 a night with a cancellation policy. We quickly booked 2 hotel...

    USNA reality

    I am a bit perplexed at why you would post something like this concerning telling parents not to send their sons or daughters to unsna and then completely delete your entire post. What was the motive behind it? My DS is a second class and DD is awaiting an appointment. I am sure some mids...

    OTC Meds

    I remember DS telling us that during Plebe summer they had all kinds of things issued to them like that, so we didn't have to send him OTC meds.

    Ring Dance

    DS's Ring Dance date asked me what kinds of dresses the girls wear to the Ring Dance. Are they mostly long or do some where shorter cocktail dresses. Weigh in USNA moms! We need advice! Thanks. Also, any other Ring Dance tips would be appreciated.

    BFE Just Arrived

    Just curious...to those who received the BFE, did your MOC's office call you in advance and let you know of the appointment? When our DS was appointed to USNA 3 years ago, our MOC called first. Our DD is waiting to hear from USAFA and USNA and so I was wondering if it is just up to the MOC, or...

    Plebe Parent Weekend

    If memory serves me, we did go to DS Sponsor's house as we were invited over to meet them on Sunday afternoon. I believe there was an event we could sign up for on Sunday that was a brunch at the USNA club. It was a bit pricey, but we went after going to church in the chapel. I am not sure if...

    Plebe Parent Weekend

    Our mid was really locked on during PPW. He was constantly looking at his watch to make sure that he would get back on time and asked to leave extremely early to make sure that he got back to the Yard. We stayed pretty close to DTA (still a hike to walk so took the car) and I remember him...

    CVW Parents' Schedule?

    We usually stay at the Sheraton and have stayed at O'Callaghans as well. Spend as much time as you can touring the Yard. There is a guided tour that leaves from the Visitor Center. After being out there over 6 times since I-Day, I could still spend hours in the museum, chapel, visitor Center...

    Ring Dance

    You guys are too funny! OK, back to the original topic!!! :rolleyes: DS has his ring, no problem. I would enjoy hearing some tales of your own experiences with this rite of passage. I know that he and his buddies did talk about renting a house for the festivites. This sounds very sketchy...

    Received mail(not BFE) from Admissions

    Bummer! My DD was really excited when that came and we all gathered around while she ripped it open, only to be a bit disappointed. Then we told ourselves it must be a good sign. It is so funny how we look to every little correspondence and read into it. :redface: Guess we keep waiting......

    Nominations

    Our DD just got nominations from SD Senators John Thune and Tim Johnson. Now the real wait begins.........went through this with DS at the USNA 3 year ago. He heard in February that he had been accepted. This is a tough period when there seems to be little news coming. An ALO friend of mine...

    Ring Dance

    I am sure there are threads about this and it is very early to think about, but can some of you give me the details about the Ring Dance? My DS would certainly roll his eyes if he got wind that I was posting something like this! :eek: I get soooo few details from him about anything going on...

    Advice on USNA

    I really think that you should just focus right now on getting everything wrapped up and turned in as soon as possible. Get your CFA done right away in case you need to take it again. You do not want to wait until the last possible minute for any of these things. Get your medical evaluation...

    Competitivity(worried)

    Just my two cents, but who really knows what tips the scales in one person's favor in any particular academy? When you look on all of these threads, it is obvious that many, many candidates are very well qualified and deserving. We live in an under-represented state for certain service...
