    Need Watch Help-Birthday Gift

    The more I am looking, I think raising my budget a bit wouldn't hurt. There are some incredibly beautiful pieces. I was looking at some Hamilton watches at Nordstrom and was certainly drawn to them; just wasn't sure if that was a quality brand. Thank you for the input.

    Need Watch Help-Birthday Gift

    USNA Parents weekend

    Got up pre-dawn, ran to the yard from our rental (I mean if my kid gets up that early for a workout, I'll commit to one as well) to watch pep and...our son had colors that morning. Had no idea as they still didn't have phones to let me know. A little worrisome not seeing my son in the line up...

    Ohhhh the waiting........

    This is incorrect. As a BGO I was able to see my candidate was Pending Congressional Notification regarding his appointment last Friday morning. There was a 3 business day wait before USNA notified him via email today. His MOC never called. A candidate who had been rejected was noted as such on...

    I-Day

    My son has been declined twice when applying for the Chase SW card. My understanding is they require a pretty solid credit score and income to be accepted. If you wait until the fall, SW offers major points bonuses for applying for their card. Don't settle for the 40K, wait for the 60-80K...

    I don't believe it's all been resolved. Not that I've heard or read in the local paper anyhow.

    Class of 23 & 24 Shotgunning

    But isn't everything COVID's fault? :p I forget that retention is so much higher in recent years.

    Class of 23 & 24 Shotgunning

    Strictly a guess for this year but I'm thinking it's due to attrition; higher number of Mids choosing to leave after struggles with ISO and ROM along with the cheating scandal being the cause of a decrease in class sizes. I figure rationale is to even out the company numbers but complete...
