April 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30, plus 31 in May, plus 30 in June. What my Dad used to call "67 and a get up." Trying not to think about it. Make the most of the time you have with your plebe-to-be when they are not running, swimming, etc. over the next couple of months.

Glad this came up because we (parents of plebe to be) were talking about this yesterday and agreed that we know nothing about the process. Is it correct that the tests they take during the summer are used for both "validating" them out of a course (don't have to take it and therefore jump...

Way to go Lexington ! Lexington sends one to USCGA and Versailles sends one to USNA. Must be something in the water around here. Congrats !!!!!!

KY Appointment annie_usna : Sent you a PM regarding daughter's appointment

Rounding to the nearest "5" is the standard thing to do on these tests. You look good, but you will hear from DoDMERB if there is a problem. And you should always deal with Mr. Mullen. He is the absolute best contact you can have on any medical questions.

"Both ears must be free of tympanic membrane perforation and acute and chronic disease. The average hearing loss at 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz in either ear may not exceed 30 decibels (ISO), and the loss at any one of these three frequencies may not exceed 35 decibels. The maximum acceptable loss...

My daughter attended the USNA soccer camp between her sophomore and junior years. It was a very valuable experience. They brought in quality coaches from other colleges, along with having current mids assist with the training. But the best part of the trip was the opportunity to be at the...

Women's Rings We are obviously a LONG way off from having to think about all of this ring stuff, but I was curious about the look of the women's rings. Are they just like the men's, but smaller? These conversations being typically about what is worn by American males, there is a lot of talk...

OK, this is something I had never thought of. . . . If you drive your kid to report for I-day, they can be reimbursed something for the travel expense? Since she just mailed her acceptance a few days ago, I guess it is possible that this is one of the many things that might be included and...

time till arrival ? To "mjcjac" and others who have received their Appointment package: If you got word that you had received a waiver how long was it till you received the Appointment package? LOA was received long ago, Nomination was long ago, Call came on Feb 9 informing us that...

Do we know (actually know) the dates for PPW? Weekend of Aug 7-8 or 14-15? If nothing official has been set, where would be the first place to learn of this when it does become official?

The Call Just Came !!!!!!!!!! :thumb:Just received call from Admissions saying that waiver was GRANTED. LOA + Nom + Waiver = 2013 Midshipman. The girl just pulled off what three years ago (when she made the decision to go to USNA) was unspokenly thought to be impossible. Pride and shock and...

Received hard-copy letter from Navy (Pensacola, FL) one week ago saying that the NROTC waiver had been granted. Still not heard anything on USNA waiver. DoDMERB website still says that the status for both NROTC and USNA is "Pending Waiver Submission/Review." Kind of expected the...

Well, the Nomination arrived yesterday. :smile: So we have now reached the point where we are just hanging around out by the mailbox all day long so as to be sure to actually meet the mailman who will hopefully be delivering the USNA waiver (the last of the three hurdles) one of these days...
