I got the call - was in a meeting so I did not see it; wife did though. He was fired up on the call - he sent me a pic. long four year journey - graduation will be a hoot.

Spoke to DS today - in some way they have changed the prep materials as compared to the actual exam; different from the past. He said Mass Maritime deckies had a 58% pass rate last week on the first try. Good luck to the 1/C's.

Spoke to DS yesterday - he is exhausted. Correction to my earlier post; exams start Tuesday

This is where they are headed on Monday http://www.flickr.com/photos/9601842@N04/5763783892/

four days! Good luck to the first class.The exam room has been set up

Spoke w DS today and he sounded exhausted. License prep is taking a toll. When I said the end of the tunnel is near he replied that it is 25 days until exams - I think he is starting to see some light after four grueling years. Cannot wait until graduation.

If you look at the links that I posted you will see the ticket order form for all of the events that weekend. The heading reads; The Class of 2011 would like to extend our invitation to the Graduates, friends and family to this year’s Commencement Dinner Cruise The cruise is supposed to...

Laughing at myself - I have no idea how I pasted that yahoo sports link in there. here is the correct link. http://www.usmma.edu/ParentsAssociation/

The parent's page on the USMMA website has changed - at the bottom of the page are three links that represent the final schedule, dress code and order sheet for various activities. Note that it says there is no ticket limitation and the event will be held outdoors rain or shine (bring your...

It was sent out Jan 21st and contained no additional details - this is a copy/paste of the word document that was attached to the email that my DS forwarded. Based on past years schedules I would use this as a reliable guide as to the dates you will want to around Great Neck - time to make your...

Not all 1/C's are done yet.

Our DS had appointments from Kings Point and Annapolis by early March. We made an agreement that he would make his decision and notify both academies no later than April 1st based on not taking up a slot that could be offered to another candidate. Here is my suggestion. Call CGA - figure out...

With all due respect KP2001 - although this was indeed a question in this thread, it was not really the question even though the discussion trailed into a delineation between military service, federal service and maritime service. The original question was why did the presidential staff decide...

correction and apologies - Lt. William J. Donnelly, IV

Here is a thought to get you past the systematics of this discussion. Ask the President's staff to tell the families of Lt. Frank Toner or Lt. Will Donnell that they did not attend a "Service Academy". It is called the Regiment of Midshipmen for a reason and to not recognize the USMMA as a...

Shipgirl64, speaking of steak for your plebe here are my thoughts for treating your new plebe to a steak this fall. There are plenty of great steakhouses in Long Island & Manhattan. Over the last four years we have hit most of them - Burton & Doyle's and Rothmann's are two notables. Peter...

Does not bother me - tickets would have been limited perhaps a max of two to four per family. This way our DS will have his entire family join him to see him walk down that aisle.

sorry that was 2010 - 2011; originally posted for a return on Tuesday after Labor Day and then corrected for a return on Labor Day. It is also possible that Parents Weekend does not fall on Labor Day weekend in 2011 - in that case the return date will be Sunday evening.

Well from what I recall you will see him on Friday on campus - he will have to attend Beat Retreat which is something you will also want to attend. Normally after the football game on Sat afternoon - around 6pm they will get liberty. Based on the 2011 - 2012 Regimental Calendar it is saying they...
