I know that the weekend for Junior Parents this year is Sept. 21 - 23rd. There is nothing on the Naval Academy website about the schedule yet. Since I am flying in from the west coast, I need to know when to get into Annapolis. Any ideas from previous years what the schedule is like????? I...

I got my picture proofs from Herff Jones. We are suppose to pick a picture for the "YearBook" You could call them at 800-724-0452 and see where they are mailing your proofs.

Does anyone know about Yearbooks? I received an order form for pictures of my Mid for this year's book. Do Mid's have to purchase the book? Do we get some information on the purchase? I asked my Mid and he doesn't know anything about a Yearbook. Or is this a scam? They had pictures of my son.

So when do they get the $100.00 per month extra put into their accounts? Do they get an accounting of what the deductions were from the check? Since it seems like they have to pay for several different things.

So when and who will notify us of the return time for Sunday? It is hard not knowing when to book flights from the west coast.

I understand that Plebes can leave for the holiday after their last class. Does anyone know how late classes are at the Academy? Is there a shuttle that will take the Plebes to the Baltimore Airport? Any ideas on what time they will run for that Thursday and also on Sunday? Is there any...

All Plebe parents get an envelope in the mail. We already got ours. It gives a specific timeline for various things going on during the weekend. Including what time they are available, when they MUST return and what to wear.

So the 3rd call for Plebe summer is on August 3rd. That is a Tuesday !! So what time will they call. Everyone in our house works during the day. So will they call home in the evening? Or does one of us miss the call when it is a cell phone call? Any ideas on how they do this?

Got our letter yesterday from our Plebe. We're in Nevada. Really long letter. (Right, it was 5 sentences long). All he wanted was ICE CREAM. Don't think I can mail that. Love reading all of the the replys on the forum and seeing all of the pictures on Facebook.

So where is this FB page? Under USMA? Can't find it, can you give some help. I have looked on USNA but do not see anything.

I want to send a plastic container for my Plebe. But it has to be put into a bigger box so that it doesn't break. Is this going to be okay? I know I read somewhere that a shoe box size was prefered. Will the Superiors give him problems about it? Also, I heard that sometimes the Plebe's do...

Family lives in Kailua, Hawaii. I am relocated to Reno, NV. We leave tomorrow with my son for Plebe summer.
