My son has his name in both rings. Don't forget moms love the pendent which can be a copy of the ring top. The back of mine says MOM. Dad has a lapel pin.

Glad the forum is active again. I learned so much from the parents and mids that were at KP before us. Now I feel it is my turn to pay it forward. As parents of graduates we have a totally different perspective. Welcome back and ask away.

Not just a SWO saying it abounds in education also, so sad.

Apparently whoever made the rules does not realize what KP grads have accomplished and how competent they are. I have not heard the reasoning behind the decision. I am curious about it.

I am sure they will do fine, we are rooting for them. I know they can do it.

Does anyone know how I can add my pictures from the wonderful weekend?

It was a wonderful tribute, she will always be part of the class. My heart went out to her family.

Wait for the "real" time piece until graduation, if you are in an engine room it will get oily. Many Mids use Casio or Timex watches. Best of everything as you embark on this phase of your life. Semper Gumby.

I heard ginger, but was told by DS that you get used to it.

Not sure about live feed for bell ringing but my husband and other parents will be there and then will post. Plan to read the manual for my phone and tablet this week.

Jasper Dog your words as always ring true.

We got our son SCUBA equipment as a graduation gift. It is what he wanted. Hard to believe his experience at KP is ending. Seems like yesterday I was looking for a certain model of New Balance sneakers.

I thought I read some where that the BBQ after Change of Command was $15. I can not believe that graduation is so close. I am still holding my breath. It has been a crazy ride.

No luck on my search for the biggest baddest bell ever.

The info on bell ringing you heard is correct, have not heard anything about your friends son.

They could get stuck and not be allowed to walk. I think that may be a fear. Still working on looking for my own bell. Found a huge 5 foot gong but it is out of my price range and would not get here in time. I am still hoping that those in charge will decide to make this change next year. I...

I know of someone who was called to report a a Service Academy (not KP) the day before Indoc. Never give up Hope it works out for you.

To change the long standing tradition of bell ringing is cruel, punitive, demeaning, demoralizing and sad. The class of 2013 has been through so many changes that this change can only cause bitterness and hurt. As a parent, I find it disheartening and so unnecessary. The Administration should...

The hands on training coupled with the Academics at KP creates a very well rounded engineer.
