Happy Thursday and happy to write that we will be at our 3rd I-Day in July! Our youngest daughter received an appointment a month ago. She attended NWP as a Falcon Scholar and has already accepted. See ya'll in June! Go Navy! Go Air Force!

Appreciate the effort, MuthaRunner. I am going to stay abreast of developments occurring daily in CA for the next 24 days. Just last night our state public health officer resigned amidst significant under-reporting errors (which means major over-reported positives). Our numbers are far from...

Well, we should all remain "hopeful". The details of state guidelines were also recently posted: https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-higher-education--en.pdf "For counties on the State County Data Monitoring List...indoor lectures are prohibited. Courses offered in SPECIALIZED indoor...

My daughter and I just saw this on San Bernardino County's website: https://wp.sbcounty.gov/cao/countywire/?p=8428. "For institutions that are in counties that have been on the state’s monitoring list for three or more consecutive days, indoor lectures are not allowed." It used to be 14 days...

I recently saw a post on FB's "Reopen California Schools and Sports" page where a Navy parent successfully received a reply from the Department of Education's Military Affairs Team after emailing Betsy DeVos's office. This is probably a better avenue that Newsom but this be would be up to the...

I have been trying to stay on top of CA's school situation as I live in San Diego County, one of the watch-list counties along w/San Bernardino. As of 2 days ago, youth sports were allowed to begin statewide. It brings me some hope. Unfortunately, the school waiver only applies to elementary...

Ugh. So my question is...and this is only an initial thought so please no judgment as I am only thinking aloud...is there an option to attend a prep school in another state or are the FS committed to NWP?

congrats to you and your daughter!

My only experience w/ROTC programs is that both older children applied but turned down so I am not speaking from experience (just personal research), so take my answers w/a grain of salt: How does one semester prep school look like second semester with regard to military prep? Take recommended...

You need to look beyond 1-2 years. My DD is being recruited for her sport by civilian schools but decided immediately upon being offered the FS to go to prep. She has 2 older siblings who went SAs and knows the value of graduating from service academy and serving as an officer. Of course, your...

Does anyone know if the second semester classes have to be take during the second semester? Or, can one or two be taken during the summer?

CPR, no waiver needed, w/nom. No word still.

There are many "broken" plebes (on crutches and boots) during the course of plebe summer. the most important thing an appointee can do right now is start running consistently every day. And be able to run 7-8 mile long runs by I-day. My experience with i-day USNA 2012, a few plebes got sent home...
