Though it was LONG ago, my hubby played basketball at Navy and went aviation ending up in E-2 Hawkeyes flying off carriers. He’s 6’8” so I think your DS should be ok. Jets are usually the problem due to ejection seats but there are lots of other options!

DD is also heading to 15 from 2...away from Stripers Row snd the Dants office. Right in the middle of the Brigade... so we can be a little late to March On but not too late!

My mid is a HUGE fan and had the time of her life... got a pic with him afterwards that was posted on his Instagram. Studied all day today but was hoarse from all the singing. So happy for the “normal” to return! 15 days and a wake up til Herndon😳

My ‘24 DD got her call from MOC on May 21st after being waitlisted on April 8. Plenty of time!

Our story has a happy ending but it was painful getting there. DD dreamed of playing her sport at USNA since the 6th grade, attended every camp, went to games, got to know the coaching staff and actively contacted said staff, who promptly left when the head coach did her sophomore year of high...

My plebe was actually excited for her duty in King Hall today...🙄 She also told her dad last night that she LOVES the Academy so it’s apparent to me that they are doing something right at the Boat school. However my class of 93 husband was dumbfounded by the word LOVE being said by a plebe😜

She is so thankful that she doesn’t have to cut her hair that she is practicing bun work. I think a cute bob would be lovely 😳

Great advice... and even better when It’s NOT mom giving it! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve watched videos and read lots but thought Id throw this question out there. What should my daughter wear for drop off? We are walking her in and I know Annapolis in July is hot. No skirts or dresses but are athletic shorts and a Navy Tshirt with her broken in running shoes acceptable? Or...

No idea if there will be more forthcoming info when we finally receive our PTR (only had appointment for 4 days) but we will be in Annapolis with our DD regardless. While the BWI info is helpful, is there more info about where to go if you are staying in town? Is there a specific gate where they...

Well... it actually happened. DD got a call from our Congresswoman today telling her she’s off the waitlist! She has accepted and we are on our way. Still in shock...😳
