Based on yesterday afternoon and this morning, should we talk stock market on this thread? Ugh.
DS pleased as well with new company!New companies are out for the Plebe scramble. DS is pleased. New company in 1st Reg so he is closer to Ack buildings, Mid Store, Services, etc.
Generally no. The Commandant determines whether MIDN in any given class will shotgun (move individually to new companies) or scramble (move by company class grouping to new companies) or neither (and stay in current companies).Do MIDN switch companies each year?
Right there with you - told him no worries, the things he has accomplished this year are incredible!!Chem is solid but Calc could be his first C that he sees on a report card...EVER.
The charge card entries are a special way MIDN communicate!Less then one day til Sea Trials and then 5 days til DW and I in DTA and 7 til Herndon.
DS has been silent since finishing last exam on Thursday. I did see a charge on my CC for dinner in DTA on Saturday so I at least know he is alive .
The '25 Plebe rollercoaster ride has almost finished and is heading for the station. I know the train does not stop and we will be jumping onto the next one---Rollercoaster III: The Youngster Year for '25
That roller coaster has a wonderful ending. Just saw a social-media post that showed DD the firstie with a big smile and a bit of laughter on her face while interacting with shipmates. It’s been a stressful last few weeks, but with it comes the lightness of being as graduation and commissioning approach.The '25 Plebe rollercoaster ride has almost finished and is heading for the station.

Yes, unless they are off somewhere on a training block, sick in quarters, etc. Watching a class receive diplomas, take oaths and toss covers, then putting on your new shoulder boards showing your class has moved up at that exact time - all part of the rhythm of life at USNA.Does the whole Brigade attend graduation?
DS is also ready for it to begin. He said the bad weather coming through this afternoon and should be gone by the "start" hwover it will elave the field a muddy mess. I thought of this scene from Forest Gump...Bad weather in the forecast for Sea Trials. Saw on social media some concerns regarding lightning etc. and tornado warnings.
It cracked me up, a parent shared a text from their plebe who was stoked about the idea of doing sea trials in wind and tornadoes. It sounds like that plebe adjusted just fine.
