AF6872, I hope your daughter is my son's detailer! LOL I know they have to push the Plebes hard and give them a rough time to help them to become military men/women. Don't mind that at all, but I do think it is important for the detailers to demonstrate good leadership ability by showing that, even though they expect a lot, they also care about their charges and believe they can make it.
DS also said SEND FOOD during his phone call. I sent him what I thought would be a week's worth in his first package. He said it was gone in one night. He said please send enough for his whole squad...does he think I can afford to feed +/-10, very hungry USNA plebes? Well, I guess he's remembering that I fed 4 or 5 of his friends in addition to my 3 teens on a regular basis at home...So I'd better get busy packing up some protein bars, dried fruit, goldfish and power drink powder packets. He did say to make sure things were wrapped in air-tight packages. Oh, he also said his company was picky about what they could receive, then in the next breath he asked for some candy!? Oh well, guess I'll send some Sour Skittles.
