Flicker is free and I spotted some plebes our DS mentored. Pictures are great, I cannot imagine Waldo hunting being this easy (no masks). Plebes look sweaty and they are doing plebe things. Running. Lots of running. Detailers look great, strong, and motivational
. Plebe parents don't worry, your kiddo (always your kiddo, but now they belong to the Navy) is in great hands. They will be taken care of, trained, motivated, broken down, and built into something you can only imagine.
2024 parents didn't get Parent Weekend so we didn't see the transformation from plebe summer. We waited until Christmas liberty, but it was worth it. You guys will be astounded at what USNA has done for and with your kiddos. This is a great ride, don't stress. For me personally, the sooner I let go of the daily worry and stress and need to know every detail, the sooner I was able to relax and just enjoy it all.
And I think I saw even more growth at the end of Plebe year. Cannot be more proud.
