A lot of the “extra” type things, especially for comfort
, are company dependent. Usually a list will pop up of stuff allowed/not allowed here on the forums. But keep in mind. ESPECIALLY early on, much is very dependent on each company. They all have different cultures. And are run independently (within rules/refs/guidelines, of course) of each other. I have two Mids....their company cultures are VERY different. One can have a fan plebe year, one could not (for example).
The takeaway for parents, prepping to send julie/Johnny to USNA, is to follow THEIR lead. They won’t even kno initially what they can/can’t have. Another common place that this pops up is parent ms mailing care package. Some companies allow candy, for example, and others don’t.
So my advice is to hold off on the extras, until cleared to bring by you plebe. The GOOD news, is you can ship almost anything via Amazon prime, 2 day shipping (plus mailroom processing time...but hopefully by late in their summer, you will have a sponsor to ship to directly and they can deliver. Or other parent volunteers on the big parent pages on face).
This is all WAY different than bringing out a normal college dorm!!
