Sports Prior to I-Day

[chargers04]

As much as we want to bubble wrap our kids, it is not in their DNA. There was a candidate who who literally injured his ankle getting off the shuttle bus on I-Day, and had to delay a year.

And it gets more stressful for us parents as they get older. My current 2/C went skiing for his first time two weeks ago, and went down a black diamond slope on that first day. This is why I drink...

any idea on how (in general) the academies handle injuries before I-day that require the candidate to defer? will they typically give the candidate a LOA for the next year ?
