I'm going to be back East for work in Sept. and I figured to drop in on DD for a 1 parent visit and catch the FB game with ECU that weekend.
I dropped by the CBS 130 Football Poll, (didn't even know who ECU was). While there I checked out USNA's ranking---92nd in the nation. I went back up the page to check out the top 25 (Go Dawgs!). On the way up the page I passed Army ranked at ----#30! Ahead of TCU,USC, Stanford, Ole Miss, Florida St., Huston, Memphis,-Etc.. It's gonna take some stars aligning to allow CL2020 to experience a win over army in their 4 years at USNA. Buuut then, thats why they play the games (see Houston 2016)
I do have a serious question. Can anyone tell me about, or vector me to info on, the life of a Mid in the VGEP program 2nd semester of their 1C year? Are participating Mids just required to return to USNA before the gate closes? or does the Navy keep a tighter string on em while they are in DC?
Best to you all, especially the new PPs, (thats Plebe Parents BTW). I don't post as much anymore, (I've figured out I never really had that much to add to the knowledge base that resides here). I do still swing by every day or so to read up on great young men and women who are willing to take "a road less traveled by" in the form of the USNA, and the parents who raise them. Always makes me smile; thank you.
Note to new Fly-In USNA families: 1 parent visits are cheaper, easier to schedule, easier logistics/costs, and DD loves having Mom or Dad all to herself for a day or two. She's grown so fast over these years and seems to have more to say to Dad/Mom seperately than she would to us both. As DW and I view it, for parent purposes if one of us is with DD both of us are. On DD's end she sees Mom or Dad 3 or 4 weekends at USNA over the course of the year. We'd be lucky to make it out there once or twice a year if we had get my wife and I both out there for every visit. This was obvious to me from the jump, but DW took some convincing. So, for fly over and West Coast DHs and DWs who haven't considered traveling for fun separately for 2o odd years ----think about it.
