@azmilmom and @kpmom2013 what can I expect over summer break? Will they be doing something KP related or will he come home for a short time?

Summers for Kings Pointers are very short. That's why I always tell families to appreciate the remaining time with your DS/DD before they report. First summer, your MIDN will probably be working INDOC which means he/she will have to return to school after only a couple weeks home. They are required to work at one INDOC, and I would suggest getting it over with the first year. They are required to be present for graduation (assuming it is in person as opposed to virtual) and be back before INDOC starts when they are working. They also might have to re-take a class during summer break which cuts your time with them even more. The split they have also affects their breaks and their time with you. The longest summer break either of our kids had while at KP was six weeks.

Thank you so much! I guess we are about to get busy with quality time in overdrive. His coach informed us he is A-split.
 
All fall sport athletes are A split. That means that your DS will be at sea for two Christmases, so make sure you enjoy this holiday season together.

What happens if you are a winter and spring athlete? Really short summer breaks?

Traditionally, B splitters lose two summers at home, but they might get more time home at Christmas. However, they have just started a C split. Everything may change, and past schedules may not hold true in the future.
 
My DS officially accepted his offer at 12:37am EST last night!! Excitement! Anyone know where we can get a logging in book from to view? I know they will send one in May but I just like to be proactive. Plus I am uber excited to have our family become a part of this brotherhood.
 
You should be able to access last year's info on the USMMA website. It generally does not change much from year to year. Main things you need to start on early are getting your passport, getting your TWIC card, and making sure you have all the required vaccinations.

I am going to tag you on a post from the spring I “watch”. It has a lot of info and document links to give you an idea. It references the TWIC card and making copies of the birth certificate, etc.
