    Phone call from Plebe!!!!

    Well, it was 8:00 AM our time (Hawaii) and the phone call we have been anticipating came. Our daughter said things are going well. She said that it is 75% good and 25 % bad and overall she is sure this is the right place for her. How about everyone else? :rolleyes:

    I-Day Sup's address, letter from Plebe

    My daughter is in class 2013 and my husband and I were not able to be at I-day. We watched it live via the internet...pretty cool. I found Vice Admiral Fowler's address so inspiring I typed most of it out and will be sending it to my daughter as a reminder. So I thought that I would share it...

    I-DAY, unaccompanied

    My daughter will be making the trip alone from Hawaii and will be arriving on the 30th. I am not sure how Plebe's families normally handle this as she can not check into a hotel (not 21). Any idea where she can stay overnight? Thanks in advance.
