Small campus, but so many steep hills. Comfy shoes are a must. ;)

Confirmed by multiple cadets that she is gone (and not my choice.) Just wondering if anybody had more info.

Does anybody know why Christy Rose was fired?

The Parents Association newsletter had the Eagle schedule. Sent out yesterday. "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie depart July 29 enroute Rockland, Maine".

The proper format for the summer will be "Swab", not "Cadet". They need to earn the title of "Cadet".

According to PDuddy, the # is 300. edit: (I was going to mention who "PDuddy" is, but I think everybody knows. LOL. If not, you soon will...)

The shuttle is basically non-existent. I thought my cadet would be using it, but it's proven to be a bust. Forget what the Parents Association is telling you. We usually fly in/out of Boston. That has been the least expensive for us. Boston, Hartford, and Providence are the airports we always...

They gave mine the shot before turning 18. I don't want to give medical advice, of course, but I really wish she would have just gotten it here at home before leaving. So much other stuff to deal with during Swab Summer. We deliberately didn't get it because it clearly said "18+"

Yes. They will get the shot at the academy during the summer, even if they are under 18. At least mine did.

Just a little word of encouragement.... my cadet got a phone call on March 31, 11:15pm Eastern time (we are on the west coast, so 8:15pm our time) with a full offer. Currently thriving at the academy. So obviously no guarantees, but just know they DO give out acceptances at the very.last.minute.

!!?!?! Glad you hear your cadet has had a good experience. I shutter at the stories I've heard (2022-2023). I can't disagree with you more about not having them removed before getting to the academy. I would do anything and everything I could do make sure my cadet had them out before...

According to my cadet... yes. Everybody she knows who still had them, had their wisdom teeth pulled during 3/C year. Whether there was a problem or not. No idea was "policy" is, just going by what the cadets have said.

I haven't read all of the responses, but I see where it's mentioned you can go to classes with your cadet on Parents Weekend. I certainly wouldn't count on that. We weren't allowed to, even after traveling from the west coast. We had to sit outside of the classes and waited in the rain for our...

This is the Coast Guard Academy page. I assure they, they take out all wisdom teeth there and I've been hearing some bad stories from my cadet. As recent as this past week. I can't disagree more with what you're saying, based on what I've been seeing at the CGA. But perhaps medical care is...

Also, if your son/daughter hasn't gotten their wisdom teeth taken out yet, I highly recommend doing it now. If they don't, they will have them removed there. (not during Swab Summer, but after). Some cadets didn't have much of a problem with it, but some had a much rougher time. Either way...
