Since I-Day, we have been having USNA nightmares. DD, normally tough and stoic, was tearful at drop off and after her Oath ("What have I done?", "I want to come home with you." etc.). Each day, we have been expecting a phone call that she wants to process out. However, today we were elated to receive DD's first letter home and learn that things are tough but she's glad she's there.
Some points to share with parents still awaiting their own letter: detailers have yelled themselves hoarse, which is somewhat funny to the Plebes; a few Plebes have passed out and several have thrown up, but they are given good attention and allowed rest as needed; plebes (at least in her company) are supportive of each other and those struggling in PEP aren't judged or given a hard time. All around, DD is "healthy" and "happy" enough. There's still a long way to go, but hopefully this bodes well for her future.
We will be praying for all anxious Plebe parents to get equally soothing letters soon
