I just had a lovely conversation with DD's sponsor mother. They are sponsoring several plebes and have asked us to come over and meet them during PPW. Is is appropriate/traditional to bring a gift of some sort? Any ideas as to what is appropriate? Thanks for any insight!

Heard by word of mouth that there is a link somewhere that tells what time your mid will call this Sunday (or where you can sign up for a time?) Does anyone know anything about this? I got nowhere looking for it. Thanks!:confused:

Letter today! Got the letter today. Two sentences in chicken scratch + two requests--1. NEED VERY COOSHY SHOE LINERS (her spelling) 2. FOOD regular Luna Bars and anything else Well, since she was forward thinking enough to request those items, I am assuming this is a positive letter...

Letter today?? Where do you live that you go the letter today? We live in NJ and I thought for sure we would be among the first to get one--but nothing yet...

First Letter In the Superintendent's briefing on I-Day, we were told that the plebes had to write a letter by July 4. So I would imagine we will receive a letter by the end of this week. :eek: When we dropped a letter off in the Annapolis post office the day after I-day, the mailbox was so...

Assignment arrived in NJ today.

Nothing yet in NJ!

It's my understanding that the girls can wear small gold studs during Plebe summer. I think this is what it said in the PTR packet. Is this correct? :confused:

It is possible and has happened! DD was a freshman at a private college this year. As stated, her application was reviewed in January, and yes, she received an LOA! :thumb::shake::wiggle:

DD is concerned about getting glasses at USNA (BCG's). She has the very mildest of prescriptions, and only wears her glasses when sitting in the back of a large room. She doesn't need them for any other reason. She really doesn't want to be stuck having to wear the BCG's if she gets them (we...

(I am going to be apart of USNA 2015, writing on my mom's account right now:) I am transferring as an athlete from another school so I have already dealt with the whole NCAA clearinghouse process and have a pretty good idea how it works.... you should be able to try out without paying the...

countdown to Iday :thumb:DH and I said to DD yesterday "One month to I-Day" too! Can't wait to meet the other parents who have posted here. So much good information is in these forums! :thumb:

trims? Just curious, do they "trim" the girls' hair over the summer, or can it just grow for 6 weeks?:confused:
