Soon you'll realize how little you really need an actual bank. I don't know the last time I used an actual bank for anything personal. I have had USAA as our/my bank since 1982 (oh my!!!), never seen one, or even some close to one of their ATMs. And now they have this cool app where you can...

My DS does not post, but he told us he was much more relaxed and ready for IDay without my drama that morning. Saying goodbye at the airport the day before was much better for him emotionally. That morning all he had to focus on was the academy. He would do it that way again, and would...

I wondered this myself, my son said he got quite a few, including a "heritage" pin. Thanks for any insights. :)

Agreed, congrats to all 2014!! Got the call yesterday afternoon! Tears in our eyes listening to him describe the walk down the darkened hallway, all the congrats from the upperclassmen. The props and wings he got pinned on later!!! So proud, I can't hardly describe it. It's also almost...

I have to agree, we paid private ed from Jan to June, still wasn't quite comfortable with claiming him on our taxes. Did the quick and easy 1040EZ, simple as can be, with Fed and State, he got back almost $600. I did our taxes with and without him, the difference was minimal, certainly not...

I have to admit being surprised as well. It didn't seem like all that much money was spent on us, agreed we paid for everything, including having to pay for the meals we ate on base. I had not been out there since the early 80's and it definitely helped ease my mind. I guess now parents have...

I have to agree, flying in Thursday no later than lunch is a must. You can't pass up the opportunity to see your cadet Thursday night, and it is a very early start Friday morning. I have to tell you the whole time leading up to PW, my son repeated again and again "No way, why would I want you...

Awesome game, wished we could have been there!! My cadet said it was the best game he has ever watched, loved storming the field after!!

Can't wait to see it and enjoy it. Laura and Mike

Love, love, love technology. Couldn't make it to ADay, but got a fabulous picture today!! Pinning on shoulder boards, love it!!

I agree great job thanking the cadre for phone use. Those phone calls are so precious!!:thumb:

Thanks so much. He is thrilled to be able to get away from his meetings and see the DS. Hopefully he will be able to recognize him from all the other thousand doolies out there, LOL

My husband will be out in the Denver area during that time, so he can go to the Academy to watch them march out to Jack's on the 11th? How does he know where to go and what time? Thanks.

Wahoo, we got a letter yesterday!! It was so great to hear from him!! We were thrilled to hear how upbeat and good he sounded. He seemed pretty positive, which made us feel so much better. Other than very tired of standing all day, he seemed quite happy. Yeah us!! We live in VA. We have seen...

Agreed, love the videos!!!
