How does the Academy select who goes into which Company? I think I read that they switch companies at some point, is this true? Is the training slightly different for each of the companies?

Now that we found out which company, can anyone tell me what EACH company means?? Our son is Delta.

It works! I was able to log on here with my log on info I gave to sign up. http://www.uscgaparents.org/index.html and 2013 comes up. I emailed them and asked if we were supposed to receive an email when we were activated, and was told no. The first message posted was a test message and...

I was finally able to log on with the profile information I gave 4 to 6 weeks ago and class of 2013 does come up. Were we supposed to receive email notification that we were ready to go? It doesn't really matter since I have now been successful at logging on, but I want to make sure that we...

Yes, I did request the 2013 list! I will keep checking back! Thank you!!!!!!!

I have a typical mom question... I am a little afraid to ask this, but can anyone tell me what a typical swab summer day will be like? My son doesn't like to talk about it, but it would be helpful to know what the days will be like!

I know... and they are supposed to stay in shape, so our son is running, swimmming, pushups and situps.... but I keep telling him not to hurt himself! They must think we are SO obnoxious! At least he doesn't graduate from High School until the last weekend in June, there isn't too much down...

Thank you for all the good advice... I think we will hold out to fly grandma in on Parent weekend!!!

When do we find out which company the new Swabs will be placed in?

We have an out of state Grandma that would like to come out to visit at some point this summer. What would be the best event for her to attend, R-Day, Mystic or the conclusion of Swab summer? Any better recommendation?
