Thank you!

Thank you!

My wife and I have expired DBIDS cards that are in need of renewal. We intend to be on the Yard in July. Does anyone know the process for renewing expired DBIDS? Thanks in advance for any advice.

We had 2 sons go through it, and we attended both ceremonies. If you can, I would recommend attending, but not a big miss if you can't. [I-Day and PPW, don't miss those!]

I would like to know that as well.

We were at the Westin for our first plebe and he loved it. And, yes, he was glancing at his watch a lot as we got into the afternoon, so staying within walking distance is pretty important. We took a day trip to DC to visit museums, but I don't think I'd do that again. Walking around 90+...

No — what did it say?

This will be my last appointment cycle with the forums. My last and final Mid was appointed this year. I would tend to agree with going back to the old copy and paste model. I'm sure there are data scientists and numbers crunchers who will call me a relic, but there was something a little...

Thanks!
