    Will family event's be given liberty?

    It depends. But i wouldn't count on it. If the wedding is in or very close to annapolis on a Saturday afternoon/night or sunday morning/afternoon, your chances are pretty good. if it falls from sunday night to saturday morning your chances are pretty much non-existent.

    Care Packages

    Send him a letter and ask what he wants. Only he knows what he can have (no one on this forum can tell you exactly what's allowed for your friend). Also, he'll let you know what he wants. By asking, you'll help him out so he doesn't receive more food than he can handle. You could also ask him...

    Plebe Summer

    My advice is simple: Chill out, enjoy life, don't think about plebe summer. Reading this forum is not going to make you a better plebe in 2 weeks but it will suck away precious time you could be spending with family and friends or playing video games or sleeping or watching tv, etc. So make a...

    Tattoos?

    If you don't have one yet and you are coming to the academy in june, you have missed your chance for the next 4 years. Don't get one now. You won't be able to get one after plebe summer or any time when you are a mid. And if you do, it is a major conduct offense. They do have tattoo checks and...

    What to pack for I day and send in care packages

    Juice boxes are amazing! My parents had been told to send lots of cookies so I could share with other plebes. Don't do that. It seems like a good idea to send a ton of cookies to make everyone happy, but it's not. And care packages are great, but letters are where its at.
