Of course i found a few tubs later on that we missed. The movers came, packed all up and sent it to him. What is left has gone in the garage sale, got...

    Back up plan if Swab Summer didn't work out??

    Ekb: totally agree with you on giving it a try. We watched someone get dropped off for R day with a big rolling piece of luggage. She went thru the steps and got on the bus. A little while after that we see her walking down the road pulling her luggage with her dad telling her to at least...

    Rising 3/c Summer Assignments Other Than Eagle

    Quite a few class of 2021 rising 3c cadets went to cutters as there was not enough room on the Eagle. They had a very large class! Our son was one who went to a cutter for 11 weeks and had a great time. He said that since he was on the Eagle for 10 days during swab summer that he wanted to...

    Thanksgiving Leave Travel Planning

    It was much easier for us to fly to CGA, pick up our cadet and then drive down to NJ to have dinner with family there. We live in CO so didn’t want to risk DS flying home for such a short time with the snow etc. They must never be late!!

    Falcon Stadium questions.

    Definitely call the ticket office. They can tell you what gate you need to go in to get to handicap style seats. Wheelchair might be a good idea because walking from the parking area to the stadium is not flat. If you have a handicap placard you can park closer towards the stadium.

    CGA Cadet Auto Coverage & USAA

    We actually had power of attorney to take care of these things for our DS. All we needed to do was send in proof that he was actually a cadet at USCGA and they took care of this for us. As Capt MJ said, ask to speak to a supervisor. They have quite a few new people working for them that do...
