What happens if one is ill when checking in for I Day?
stay away from mono carriers....far away. that one is nasty to recover from.
If you are a mono carrier, would that jeopardize USNA/Plebe Summer during I-Day?
I'm not sure if I'm a carrier or not..
I don't know the answer to your questions but it is ironic. The illness rate for plebes is extremely high during plebe summer. Plebe hack, (mono, etc) runs rampant through the class every summer. I'm guessing illness hits at least 60%, and I am being extremely conservative. DD did not get plebe hack until just prior to parents weekend. Lucky me, I came home with "plebe hack," after parents weekend.I found this old thread and thought I'd resurrect it with a more direct question. I understand the issue if a kid shows up on I-Day with an injury that keeps them from being able to participate in Plebe Summer, but what if they wake up on I-Day with a fever? Or a stomach bug? Will they miss their chance and have to reapply the following year? Obviously, I'm hoping nothing like that happens, but I want to understand the protocol if it does.
