Anyone received or know when PTR packages should be sent out?
Don't fill out the Permit to Report documents yourself. The propsective Plebe should do that - it will get them ready for the life ahead of them.
I sat there with my son, as there are questions that I readily knew the answers to, but he filled everything out. In fact, he wanted to do it himself.
The truth of the matter is that even if you forget/lose your "Permit to Report" - it won't make a bit of difference. Believe me, they have your name. They know who you are. They're expecting you.
All you'll have to do is prove that you are who they think you are. You could do that with your driver's license. If you're on their "list" ... you're in!
Literally - if you didn't bring a single thing with you to I-Day, you'd still be processed.

I laughed out loud when I read this. I know it is true but it just struck me as funny.
The company information is mailed in a letter about a week before I Day along with the address to mail letters and things to your plebe over Plebe Summer and into the Academic year.
Another thing that might be helpful is to make copies of EVERYTHING before you send it in. When our oldest boy went, we didnt and his background info had to be recreated from a distance over the phone and it took up some of his valuable studying time.
This is such an exciting time for those who will be in the class of 2015. Enjoy the next few months and be careful!
I checked my candidate page yesterday and there were two new boxes at the bottem. One was online permit to report stuff and the other was a plebe sponsor questionaire. It also said that the packets had been mailed.
hurricane: As I recall, Company/mailing address info didn't arrive until just a few days before I-day, not in the PTR
Completely agree, but I hope this started with the actual application to the Academy and nomination sources --- after all, its the CANDIDATE'S application!!! I would be a little concerned if parents were driving the process from the get-go; that isn't to say parents can't be there for aid/help.
Ownership...another trait of a military officer.
