This is most likely my last post to the forum. Our son is now a varsity baseball plebe at the USNA [Class of 2018]. As I read all of the desperate questions seeking the magic combination of academics and personal qualities that will somehow unlock the door to admission into this prestigious...

Get them out BEFORE you go. Our DS had his taken out in February. He is glad that he did. He said he couldn't image having to deal with the surgery along with the other rigors of the academy, as well as playing varsity baseball.

BFE

Oklahoma

Our DS [received BFE in Dec 13] has taken 4 years of Chinese as well. He is a recruited athlete. While you will never know exactly what the "perfect" application looks like, every you unique attribute can only help. With the current state of world affairs, a candidate would surmise that...

Can you share where you found the dates? When I view the USNA site [http://www.usna.edu/PlebeParentsWeekend/], there isn't a date set as of yet.

Thanks for the feedback

Our DS has received his appointment and nomination. He had his wisdom teeth removed on January 17th and has fully recovered. Does he need to update DODMERB about this event?

We would like to get some input on the best company for cell phone coverage at the Yard. When we have been there, AT&T has had "poor to NO" service. Some of the Mids suggested Verizon. Does anyone know how well T-Moblie works?

What state do you live in? Remember, the NASS is a way for the USNA to recruit possible candidates for the following year. If you live in a nearby state, there is a likelihood that you have been to the academy if your DS or DD is interested. If you live further away (midwest or west coast), it...

Being a well rounded person is a big advantage in the eyes of the admission board. Your leadership position in soccer and track will be a huge plus in the selection process. As I told my DS (2018 candidate-with LOA/recruited athlete in baseball), "It's harder to get in the door than to...
