    Dad Joke thread (everybody welcome)

    I enjoy most of the Chuck Norris facts. Perhaps not the one that invokes an old and unkind stereotype about women. Here’s 100 of those facts. https://parade.com/968666/parade/chuck-norris-jokes/

    Important matters concerning the existence of Humanity - BACON

    Going down range on an unknown bacon frontier can be hazardous. You will note I am not intrepid enough to go on an expedition and report back.

    Admissions Question

    Not sure what you mean by “last chunk of the class” and grouping diversity and blue chip candidates there - do you mean they are not competitive for any other types of nominations? Surely you don’t. Candidates who also happen to be blue-chipped and candidates who also happen to be diverse are...

    Important matters concerning the existence of Humanity - BACON

    I saw some commercials today with Sonic advertising their PB and bacon milkshake and PB and bacon burger. Anyone tried them?

    What to do with NROTC Scholarship after being appointed to USNA

    He can look at the decision deadlines and decide what he wants to do. The offers are his until he is ready to make a decision, and the decision date nears. I believe he can also accept both and decline one or both later, no problem. If NROTC is his alternate plan should he be injured or ill...

    DoDMERB Question

    It is something candidates and appointees can get. Changes to medical history should be shared with DoDMERB, and the process of obtaining healthcare provider assessments, if requested, starts. Much depends on proximity to reporting date, severity and healthcare provider opinion on recovery.

    New USNA Superintendent 2024

    That’s when it gets real. The reading of orders and the “relieving” exchange in front of the reporting senior is all that is actually required. Can be done in 10 minutes with none of the ceremony, if required. No matter what, the burden of command settled on her shoulders the minute she says...

    Isn’t it time he met Jonny Kim in a bar and put in a late application for astronaut? First warfighter space vehicle?

    DoDMERB Question

    If the person is actively sick upon reporting in as an appointee, there is potential for being turned back. Normal illness that resolves well prior to reporting in, should be no problem.

    class of 2028 vacancies by congressional district

    It’s going to be one (most likely) or two, as it is most years, for each admissions cycle. One cycle will have 2 slots available, therefore the MOC can submit 2 slates with up to 10 names each. And just because a District has 3 cadets at USMA does not mean their appointmemts were charged to...

    Navy Aviation Milestones - which ones for family to attend/ skip?

    Winging. DH presented his mom with tiny wings of gold with a teensy diamond chip. I have it now. See photo below - I borrowed DH’s ring to show size. I don’t know whether that is still a thing. I don’t usually hear of family attendance at other training transition points. Completion of...

    Roller coaster I: Get You (The Parents) Through Plebe Year - Class of ‘27 🎢

    Much depends on what is more important, playing his sport or pursuing a commission in the Navy or Marine Corps. Some are able to do both at USNA, though it is hard. The great thing is if he decides to step away from his sport, he does not lose his place or “scholarship” at USNA. Many do, and go...
