    USMA Separated & Recoupment

    Oh, thanks for your concern (But being identified as a specific parent trying to understand the process doesn't seem remotely interesting or impactful. It's just trying to dig up info about his options 🤷‍♀️)

    USMA Separated & Recoupment

    Does anyone on here have any recent gouge on separation payback? Our mid will be separating due to an (admitted/not fighting it) Honor Violation at the very end of his 1/C year. He has started DOR process, and has just been quoted a payback amount with no details on how long he would have to...

    Graduation and Commissioning Logistics

    Any educated guesses on how many field seats tickets mids in the top 10% get (historically, pre-COVID)? I.e., are all 6 of their tickets there? Or just like 2 and rest are in the Company area? Thinking maybe a family style Hunger Games for those... 🤔😉

    Reapplicant question

    Can you do NROTC as a college applicant (i.e., non-scholarship) status? Should be able to sign up before school starts. Our mid was a reapplicant and was strongly advised to do NROTC. He did. Also aced (4.0) his Plebe-like fall semester at a Big 10 University (Calc, Chem, English, Military Sci)...

    Your Son/Daughter is Going Where?? Round 2

    I don't begrudge educating others. But I appreciate both understanding and being understood by close friends, and it's a disappointing experience when it seems to not be working. I don't think it's a bad thing to use a context like SAF to help "recharge" each other, and build camaraderie with...

    Your Son/Daughter is Going Where?? Round 2

    DS is a 2/C mid, and I just went to a party with some closer friends who I thought "got it." We had had several conversations when DS was first offered appointment. But then at party was inundated with the "Has DS finished training and deployed yet?" Uhm... SMH Maybe it was the summer training...

    3rd Time Reapplicant

    By second degree, do you mean double major? All mids regardless of major earn a BS (versus a civilian college where you might earn a BS as well as a BA, for instance). Our mid got in on his second try, and was able to validate enough course work to double major in Poli Sci and Arabic. The other...

    Have Any Tips or Tricks for Affordable Home Rentals for Commissioning '22

    Is it easier to rent near the stadium and try to drive & park for events at USNA? Or rent near USNA, and drive and park at the stadium? (Assuming it's not so crazy expensive that we can afford either one. 🙄) I am just getting started looking for 2023.

    Navy Federal Credit Union?

    My mid and buddies have NFCU but still Venmo to settle up. To do it in the NFCU app (which I do to transfer $ between my mid and I), I think you have to add the other person's account as an external account, which would seem to be a step above and beyond Venmo transfer. 🤷‍♀️

    USNA Cost Value

    We requested a letter from the USNA Registrar (which is a Thing that you can do) asking about the value for 529/tax purposes. This is what that letter said: "The Academy’s Comptroller evaluates the cost of education annually for the purpose of determining the reimbursement values for those who...

    College Re-Applicant DODMERB

    Yep, and make sure you do the form for ALL entities you are applying to! E.g., mine had done it once for NROTC application and did not realize he needed a second copy of the forms for USNA application.

    Glasses During Plebe Summer

    Okay, you kind of asked for it with "how do I say this in modern PC terms" 😆😉 so here goes... I don't think projecting a sexual orientation (as in "opposite sex") is really a Thing in modern PC term. Perhaps "hotties of interest" would be better? 🤔 (TBH, I am probably same era as you, and would...
