I was just wondering if any Parent's are concerned with the new SAMI/AMI standards regarding non-military items being kept in the dorm rooms? My 2014 Cadet is annoyed because after finally getting some freedoms and the ability to almost have a normal life, it's starting to be taken away again. Example, having the ability to have a vehicle and now get out and do things like golf on the weekends when they have some time, there's now no place to store golf clubs except in said vehicle - almost asking for theft when the car is elsewhere. Also, I was wondering about the items that they have finally been able to have ie: refrigerators and next year televisions. Are these items to be denied now? Has anyone heard any other things about this?
It would be nice to know what the new guidelines are. I was just getting ready to mail my son's Recognition package. Now, I hesitate.
OH NO!
"But maaaaaa, I can't have my golf clubs except in my vehicle!!!"
"Now son, you just be happy, 2/c cadets at the Coast Guard Academy can't even have vehicles. Nor can they have clubs in their rooms without special permission"
"But maaaaa, Coast Guard Academy isn't even real!"
"Now son, watch your mouth. Cadets went to school there 75 years before your service even existed!"
"By maaaaaa, golf."
"Now son, anywhere you're stationed with have a golf course, plenty of time to golf, so hush up."
That's how this entire conversation should go.
Okay. That was pretty funny.
Well, I had a nice post written...and then decided that I wanted to be a bit more respectful so I'll leave it to one word:
REALLY?
I'll speak up for the poster. I can tell you that having a fridge in the room is a big deal. Our c4c is in an extremely competitive sport and what she is getting for food at Mitch's is not comparable to the diet that most of the athletes from non-SAs get. Without the fridge, cadets have no ability to adjust their diets to meet their own nutritional needs.
OH NO!!!
Please say no more!

Obviously have not seen the food at Mitch's lately ...
