Curious, my DS's plane ticket is covered and the taxi to the hotel from the Airport, however, the hotel cost is not covered, correct? All he needs is the receipt for both, correct?

I think everyone is on hold to buy airline tickets until we know for sure that INDOC will start when it's supposed to. I'm on the fence right now...would love to go (and planned on it), but recently lost 20% of my pay during this crazy time. We're on budget lock down and 4 tickets to NY...

My son just accepted to the USMMA. For graduation, we paid for half his senior trip to Florida (thank goodness they found out they can still go), we're getting him a nice G-Shock and a nice Norelco Electric Shaver. Plus, we will purchase all his T's, Undies, Shoes, etc.

Is it bad that my wife and I are planning to say goodby at the airport, vs flying out there with him? I heard that once he signs in at 7a, you don't see him again until Parents weekend. We would make sure he understands exactly where to go when landing at LGA, then once in the cab, he can sit...

Does anyone know where I can find the 2024 letter of what's needed; i.e. passport, etc? Also, what is the Transportation license that's required? What is that for? My son wants to know

He's at Haas Hall Academy. This school was instrumental in him getting an appointment. They focus on ACT/SAT and the smaller size allowed him to get Class President, Track Captain and Boys State.

My DS's LOA turned into Accepted. His Medical Waiver was approved and he received a call from our Congressman yesterday with a congrats. Now it's time to wait for the BFE, get his passport, purchase his needed items, apply for Financial Aid and spend every minute we can with him. It's just...

It's an letter of appointment, but has to be cleared medically; which shouldn't be an issue. He got a heat rash on his arm when he was 13 and the doctor prescribed him eczema cream for quick relief...big mistake by the doc. Thanks for the reassurance on USMMA.

What percent of NAPS gets into the USNA?

Question: My son went to NASS last Summer and fell in love with the USNA. He was just waitlisted for NAPS but has an LOA for US Merchant Marine Academy. I'm asking this forum because I need an unbiased response and I don't think I'll get that on the USMMA forum. Navy is where he'll...

Congrats! I am very proud of my son who made the USMMA. That school is Awesome, but my DS fell in love with the Naval & AF academy during NASS and AFASS. We learned a lot about the USMMA after he got his LOA and it will be a great school to transition into the Navy afterwards. It does cost a...

DS is still CPR for USAFA and USNA. Got his LOA for USMMA last month, but holding out for a decision for these 2.

My DS is still CPR for both USNA and USAFA. Got accepted for USMMA, but holding out until he hears from these 2.
