Napjim, I noticed your addition of your son to the appointment thread for Navy and that you live in the 14th District. My son is a youngster at Navy and we live in Chicago, but I grew up in Batavia and went to high school at Marmion (then Military) Academy, in Aurora, both in the 14th Dist. Congrats on your outstanding son, who, if I'm reading it correctly, has appointments to WP and Navy. Hopefully I'll see you guys at the USNA N. Illinois Parents Club Plebe Picnic in June! Honestly, my son LOVES USNA and we love Annapolis! Please let me know if you ever have any questions for a local mid parent. Best of luck! - Bill
