This drives me nuts!! As a parent, I have ridden the USMMA rollercoaster for three years now. In reading all the info I can easily find on the USMMAAAF situation, it seems that neither side is being completely open about this. So sad, because I believe everyone wants the same end state - a...

Very Confusing My daughter, a Second Classman, is really pissed. AAf has been very helpful to her. There's some sort of back story here that's not out yet. That said, I find it unbelievable that the academy isn't out in front of this story, no matter who is the "bad guy". The PIO must...

Let it ride I'd rather have a grad as Supt, my daughter, 2014, would rather have a grad, 95% of the people that read this post would rather have a grad as Supt. We don't. Give COL Helis your support, and wish him your best. We're not in this for bragging rights over who can better skewer...

You are correct, Sir. He is the Commander-in-Chief, and elected by the citizens. And after all these years of seeing that photo, now I know who it is:wink:

well, you did start something... Kram1, your vote for President is your business. As a retired soldier and native Texan, I found your comment childish. Not all the President's I served under were my favorites, but they still deserved my respect. "darken the doorstep"? -- nice bit of...

I'm impressed From what I read, 2012Engineer and 2012AD ought to think about coming back as Superintendent or Commandant after 20 or so successful years at sea. Good, solid thought processes. Hope you're teaching the same to my 3/c.

Uniforms off KP Really did my heart good to see my Plebe daughter in uniform thanked for her service by regular old folks on the street. She doesn't really have any service yet, but it says alot about the people who approached her, and made Dad REAL proud.

One Parent's opinion While losing the King's Pointer seems like a slap in the face, and a bit like taking away one of my daughter's playthings, I guess it makes sense while Mallory pier is being reworked. My daughter and I visited TAMU-Galveston in 2009, just after they received the Cape...

Ah, the childishness of it all... My daughter is in Band Co, and their Plebes filled up a complete hallway floor with cups of water. This is a gas! Looking forward to some muddy pictures...

What are the rules AFTER DoDMERB and acceptance at an academy? Would medication for ADD be immediately disqualifying? Waiverable? Is there a good source of info or place to ask? Thanks for any help, and Happy holidays!! 5SF
