On I Day, we talked to a guy who works at the mid store. He was very disgruntled that the day before a Napster had up and quit after being issued all his gear (apparently the store worker had to reshelve it all!). He said the Napster just stopped, said "I don't want to do this", and left. Hard...

Oh, NP and WAMom you are my girls! Y'all are so sweet. Yep, WAmom and I have shared the nerve-wracking prep year experience together. She's been my person to vent to about many boy issues. :) Gah, only one Spider sighting in all those thousands of pix and it's from I-Day.:thumbdown:

He's an ass. Ignore him. Everthing he says is mean spirited. He's got issues, I guess. I heard about care package restrictions at our parent club send off picnic. No details though and the permit to report paperwork did not confirm this. I guess we'll get to ask on I-Day.

I am not qualified to give a medical opinion, but it seems to me that your son has passed the speech gauntlet with flying colors. His NASS cadre, his BGO, the nominating committee all would have already given a thumbs down if they thought it would prevent him from becoming a naval officer. If...

I would, at least to meet, hug, and celebrate/commiserate.

Whoo Hooo! Way to go Jon. I know that popping to stuff must get old. Wiah you coulda been there. I have a new respect for how hard our guys are working, especially the academics.

Well, I got to meet your Jon a few days ago at parent's weekend. He is such a handsome, nice young man. Actually, it was a completely hilarious moment. When I was in Philip's English class, Philip pointed out another cadet saying "he asked me if I was spidermom's son." Turns out it was...

Well, it is way cool. I am going to NMMI parent's weekend tomorrow and Spider will get to wear his newly-earned shoulder boards. Yah!

Oh, this is way too much fun! :thumb: :tomcat: :guns4:

He looks wonderful in those whites! What is the gold pin he is wearing?

How's Jon doing WAMom68? I haven't had one email, phonecall, or letter from Philip in 10 days. This despite phone messages, emails, etc. by us. Grrrrr. :unhappy:

Good luck to you. It's an awesome place.

Thanks, all. It's going to be a 4 kleenex box weekend for sure! Zaphod, you be careful of your young heart now!

Thank you! I wish I knew. We haven't heard from him in the last 2 weeks. The one letter we got was very upbeat. The few phone calls have been short and not too forthcoming. We'll see...parents weekend is next week. He's probably spending every free moment talking with the girlfriend. Grr...

Whoo hoo. I'm finally registered. Nice to see you all over on this board. The CC one was getting to be a bit much for my taste.:rolleyes:
