I would say you should focus on making sure bro is educated. He will be nervous and anxious to get going with I Day, there will be lots to do, people to see, last minute things to accomplish. The train arrives quickly. There is also the real, albeit small, risk of injury and the impact it could...

Thank you computerman. a couple of questions: 1. Compared to I day, was return back after semester break more or less challenging, 2. Is food (quality and quantity) acceptable? 3. Any word on vaccines for Mids? thx.

This is the type of stuff I am interested and thanks for sharing. if you ever write that book, I’ll buy it - there really isn't much out there. My plebe DS came home from first semester with all kinds of great stories and fascinating plans. He will find his place, and I am sure summer trainings...

officially told they are moving to St Johns next week.

DS Company was told they were moving a week ago but haven’t yet.

Sounds to me like candidates for class of ‘25 will have great material for essays. “How I overcame COVID crisis and turned it into an advantage...”.

I’m still holding out hope. SEC, BIG 12, AAC, ACC+ND. Lots of pressure on ADs and conf Presidents in south and Midwest right now to keep it.

On call today DS told me ALL his detailers were ”squared away” - a term I never heard him use before 😂. But I think it means he’d like to be like them someday. I think it’s an important role during plebe summer - to show the plebes what’s possible, and that it’s going to be “worth it”. In...
