Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. I am figuring out numbers right now to see which makes more sense, hotel vs. house. Again, thanks!

My daughter is graduating in 2016. I was told that you can rent out houses for graduation. Does anyone have any ideas about how to go about locating these houses? Any ideas of cost?

I had to use the facilities at the A-day parade and went up the steps turned to the left and almost ran straight into Bratka. I felt like I was in the presence of a rock star. I introduced myself and asked him if he realized how famous he is and he just guffawed an aw shucks almost...

After attending the swearing in on the second day of basic, viewing the thousands of web guy BCT1/BCT2 pictures and attending the A-day parade, one would have to be in some sort of denial to think that our kids are not in the military. Sure they can leave anytime they want up until Junior year...

I know that our DD is covered medically at the Academy. But what happens if she is injured or needs care when on a break and at home? Looking to drop traditional coverage on her and want to know what to do just in case when she is home.

Did the same exact thing. I had looked at you tube videos of previous A-day ceremonies and saw that the stands weren't filled. As soon as I sat down, the parade started.

Try Advantage. I had good luck with them when I dropped my DD off for I-day. Full size car for the price of a compact with satellite radio. This time around flying in Sunday morning and leaving late Tuesday...$162 for all three days.

Another benefit of the forum....you just saved me $38 off my previous reservation...many thanks Navy! Why are the rentals so ding dang expensive at DIA?

Very intuitive Packer...yes it is someone else, not the DD of Texas Rocks. Saw her again today on crutches watching the action. It has been way past eight days since she first appeared on crutches in the pix. My DD said she was supposed to be a turnback but she is still there. That aside, my...

Thank God she is recovering...you must be relieved. Now she will have time to recuperate, get healthy and get ready to join the class 2017! Again, my DD had nothing but great things to say about her. She really likes her and told me on Sunday that she misses her in her element. I will write...

Let's face it, no one is going pro out of USAFA. And, typically, USAFA doesn't get the blue chip athletes that 'Bama, SC or Notre Dame gets. So, one would think that the recruited athletes that make it through the admissions and BCT gauntlet have a decent idea of what they are in for and why...

My DD has gained four pounds, all muscle. She had to get a size 14 shirt because of the growth in her shoulders but it doesn't fit around her waist because she has lost inches there. Just wait until she returns from Jacks...I sure there will be a weight loss.

Not sure where I heard it but I seem to remember that the class size started at 1,045 and in the commandant's speech today, he said there were 997 left. Probably normal I would assume.

Already received a phone call this morning right at 8:00. Great to hear her voice and we will get to Skype later....yahoo!

Yep, my wife cried too when she heard it. The pedicure was the last rodeo of girliness for my wife and two daughters. My DD wanted something to physically remind her of her Mom and Sis and being a girl in a very non girl environment...lesson to all, those who love to paint their nails anyway!
