I have a minor knee "injury" so my physical therapist recommended that I bring some sports tape to PS. I know they may not accept it if I bring it with me on I-Day, but would it be ok for my family to include it in the care packages they send me? Thanks in advance!

I received some sound advice from an ex-Marine about military training. "They're going to get in your face and yell at you, but DO NOT take it personally. If they're yelling at you, chances are you have something to learn from it. But if you take it personally, you won't get the opportunity to...

Hi Everyone. I know that The Yard (especially Bancroft) is notorious for having poor reception and I have experienced this during my few stays at USNA. I have used T-Mobile for awhile and heard from other midshipmen that it was the worst. This was 2 years ago and things certainly might've...

Hi @Engineer2021! Thank you so much for your willingness to answer our questions. I graduated last year and am currently taking a gap year. I've been accepted to the Academy and I'm super excited! Even though taking this year off was an overall beneficial experience for me and my family, I...

Yeah, same thing is happening to me on my computer (when I'm running Google Chrome; haven't checked on Safari). My phone (running Safari) was able to open it, though.

Ooh 101! Congrats to all! I'm just patiently waiting for my turn now haha.

When I visited during CVW, I saw a good sized gym and also a few pools. Don't worry, he should be perfectly fine.

I logged on about an hour ago after trying probably 15 times. It should be ok now.

Still nothing from me :( Where did you see that "system announcement" message?

Does my DoDMerb login account disappear after records have been sent to USNA? I was qualified but wanted to login to see if there was anything else. It says my username, password, SSN, and DoB are all not in the system. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Same! A little nervous, but trying to remain calm.

Ah ok. Thanks!

Sorry to change the topic, but I've recently been hearing a lot about "slating." Can someone tell me what this means?

I became medically qualified last week and my CIS updated about 4 days later. Out of curiosity, does your DoDMerb Applicant Site say "N/A" under "Mailed Date"? Mine does and I have no clue what it means.
