    Struggling Girlfriend

    "If it is meant to be, it will be" My DS is in his second year at USNA. He and his GF dated for two years prior to him leaving. They both were well aware of the statistics of the 2% club and discussed both of their dreams, not just my son's. They have been honest about the situation and both...

    Spring sports- play or skip

    We let our DS decide if he wanted to play his spring season of select soccer. It really was a no brainer...400,000 dollar scholarship for 12 more soccer games...not worth the risk. He was glad he took the spring season off of soccer as he got to spend more time just hanging out with friends...

I spoke with one of the photographers last week and they are doing things differently this year. Sounds like there will be...

    IF I recall correctly, plebe summer is the only time that the detailers have to make sure that you "get enough sleep"

    Bringing $100 on I Day

    Sent DS with 100 last year for the baseball game and usually get one trip to the Mid store. (all companies differ though). He just kept it on him during I Day. If you put it in your bag, probably won't get it back! Enjoy your last few weeks! And remember, you can do anything. YOu wouldn't be...

    Labtops

    DS got all of his computer "stuff" at the end of Plebe summer. You do not need a lap top and probably are unable to use one due the security features that must be on it. Leave it at home. And from what I recall, what they were issued this year was new to USNA and an excellent package. (I am not...

    Induction Day - wish i had remembered.....

    I Day was incredibly long but you don't see your plebe to be for long before going into Alumni Hall. We tried to say our goodbyes prior to getting to the Yard to avoid the mom tears that were inevitable (actually did very well) It is a very long day and usually very very hot and humid. We were...

As you face Bancroft Hall, companies 1=15 file infrom the right and fill in the seats from front to back (ie the latter numbers are closer to the back and the parents) and the other half of the plebe companies file in...

    Injury Question

    Surgery? Rehab? A few questions, did you have surgery to repair the tear? From your posts, I am guessing not. With the intensity of plebe summer, running, jumping, climbing, needing to cut laterally quickly... a torn ACL would make it very difficult. Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon or your...
