The kid just texted me that they will get an extra day for Thanksgiving break. It now starts after LMO on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Ticket dropped by $68 so mom is happy. An extra day with my Mid: priceless!

Now that Spring semester has started we can start looking forward to the rest of the AC year. Any thoughts/guesses when Intercessional leave could be? It looks like the final day of exam week is May 10. Herndon/Shellback would be on the 15th if last year's pattern is the same.

Does anyone know when the Mids receive their Lucky Bag for last year? The kid is clueless.

I have tried several devices and browsers today, but no luck.

Anyone know what the Protramid per diem is in San Diego? My MID “thinks” it is $13. That will barely buy you lunch in CA. He is trying to budget and will likely need to eat on base for the large majority of dinners.

DS just wrote us that he has been given the option to take a course for his intended major during the first semester. I thought they declared their major during spring semester. He validated some courses and was placed in a higher level of a required course. eg. English 2, Calc 3. He did not...

Last year's Immunization record had HPV9 on it, but it appears to be missing this year. It only shows Gardasil (HPV) Cervarix (HPV2). Doctors office wants to know where to enter it. Just write it in a blank space? Does anyone have the phone number of the Health Clinic?

As there are some items that are approved for Plebe Summer (retainer, calculator, compression shorts, etc.), how do they keep them in their possession? Looking at past PS videos, the P2B appear to be separated from their backpacks early on in the process. I know phones and chargers need to be in...

As DS has all the addresses for F&F on his phone, I assume he can bring an address book with him. As the care packages may take a while to get to them, is it better to send some stamped envelopes and note cards on I-Day?

Is there a way to confirm USNA has received required forms that have been requested through the admissions portal after accepting the offer of appointment? eg. Police record check, body alteration form, etc.

DS had orthodontic treatment several years ago. He currently wears a removable wired retainer at night and has a fixed wire retainer behind his bottom teeth (no brackets). He has not seen an orthodontist in several years as the treatment was completed. Are these types of retainers allowed at...

DS has had a removable retainer for his top teeth and a wired retainer for his bottom teeth. I assume retainers are allowed at USNA, but would it be better to have a wired retainer on his top teeth as well?

My blue eyed P2B has pretty light-sensitive eyes in bright sunlight. Are sunglasses allowed during PS?

I want to buy season tickets for the upcoming season, but it only allows me to pick “reserved”. How is the actual seat assignment done?
