We had a friend voluntarily out process. Well, a few friends of DS. Go through 2nd semester and summer training. You will have that accomplishment. It is possible. One of the cadets we know was able to get everything ready, complete summer training and then do the outprocesssing paperwork...

The best information I can find from the WP facebook for DS' class is that AASLT graduation is usually at 10 or 10:15am. You should be able to get more specific information from your attendee. (I hate to say that since it can seem like the cadets are not particularly forthcoming with...

Yes, that priority box works GREAT! I sent a couple to my NC last year. I stuffed them FULL. No food, but you can send all sorts of good things. I sent a letter everyday. They tend to get them in bunches though. They are VERY busy. They will write when they get a chance, but if your NC is...

My DS likes Darn Tough Tactical Boot socks. They are all he wears, black, both for boots and low quarters. I think even for running. We balanced wool content because he has stinky feet. Darn tough (wool content) really help with that. For all the rest, we went with what was issued. If there...

Yup - all those kids have to go with you. I had 5 under 5 at one point. I can probably relate to your mom. And, yes, we get pretty sassy and daring at times.

We installed one in our '99 Volvo V70. Our twins would sit back there and confuse the drivers behind us. One time DH was driving down the road with the twins in the way-back. One of my coworkers was making hand signs with my boys and ebdy was laughing. Then she realized "I KNOW THOSE KIDS!"

1963 Dodge 440 was my first car (photo from the internet). It was my mom's. She got it when she was 16. It was her family's first car. My dad installed lap belts from a u-pull-it parts place. It had a "push button" automatic transmission. There was no center support, so the windows rolled...

Last year was the 5 mile walking privileges due to covid. In the normal years, it has been 75 miles. As the year progressed, the events often were publicized as 5 mile walking privileges to be expanded to the 75 mile radius as the event neared. It is a case of be flexible, plan accordingly...

We are a bit farther into the Midwest (19 hours to West Point). We have driven for every trip. As we drove for R-Day, all the flags were waving...now I have a little bit of a heart prick every time we go. Due to family logistics, I drove DS to R-Day with his brother as my wingman (mixed...

Don't stress. You have plenty of time to get the items on the list checked off. I agree with DrMom about lodging. We really like the Hampton Inn in Woodbury/Harriman. The drive into West Point is fun because you drive down 293 and get to see where the cadets do their field training (keeping...

I don't know anything about the commenters...just really like the photo and the comments themselves

you need 5 posts to receive PMs, and it looks like you need info today. My advice: Listen to what the call provides. Ask about time frames for any processes available to you. Know that this is generally an uphill battle, as previous posters have said. Have patience and a thick skin. There...

This is deep topic, with this board not being a strong place for the support of this particular process. When you get enough posts, PM me and I can provide some light on the subject.

Thanks for the update. All of us moms (and dads, I am guessing) care for these kids (even in all the stupid behavior).

I am not an expert on drugs, medicines, etc. A person's body was made to work well with extremely basic inputs. I also am not an expert on Schedules of controlled substances. The point is temperance and wisdom. Sometimes temperance means taking none. Sometimes it means taking a little...
