The reporting time has nothing to do with your company assignement; the times are assigned randomly. Also, the earlier the report time seemed to be better; they do provide lunch; some some will not have time to eat. The earlier you finally make it to your room, the more time you'll have to...

If I remember correctly, I sent everything back in the envelope provided and returned it certified mail. Read and follow the directions carefully (different deadlines for things) and you will be fine. I also made copies of everything I sent and DS brought them to I-day, just incase something...

Agree with MarckK,,Southwest has great fares, and you can change flights without a fee and if prices dropped before the filight you can re-book at lower fare without plently. Some hotel recommendations....They have some great hotels in downtown Annapolis that are within walking distance to the...

My DS is a plebe and I remember reading and absorbing all the words of advice on this forum. This was and continues to be a go-to site to seek information. RNRecuiter comments brought me to tears as I vividly remember both I-Day and Parent Weekend. We too are from the West Coast and travel is...

First of all, in order to compete at USNA or any college you will have to complete the NCAA college eligibility requirements. I few posts here suggested a service academy does not require this process; that is not the case. My DS's friend at USNA was unable to compete in XC until his...

Yes, I understand that the lettered platoon are only for plebe summer; what I was referring to was the mailing address. Last year and I believe in years past the plebe mailing address was: MIDN Jane Doe A Company 2 Platoon Annapolis, MD... This year address format sent out to all plebes...

I have the same question. Did you find out if this is the correct way to address mail. It seems backwards based on past years.

DS just received email from USNA with Company and platoon information!:thumb: Also wondering... are Company assignments random or is there a method to the placement?

Does anyone know if the plebes will be released on Thursday or Friday for liberty? Are their any activities on Thursday? Also, when releases, are they released for the entire weekend or do they report back each night?

Thanks for the information. My DS has a 0700 reporting time and I was wondering how the day would play out. When they are finished processing, where are they permitted to eat lunch, and do they have down time until everyone is finished processing?

Thanks! Do the majority of plebes wear their own running shoes during PT, (don't want to be that one person who stands out). What about the extra workout gear, will they let you keep that when you check in on I-Day?

You mentioned that you can bring running shoes and gear. Are plebes allowed to keep these things during plebe summer? Also, are they able to wear their own running shoes during plebe summer workouts or do you have to wear the ones issued?

I've been around runners for a long time and have seen every imaginable injury. In a nut shell: 1) If you have pain stop the activity, ice, elevate and anti-inflamatory meds. 2) Before you resume the activity buy proper shoes. Visit a running store and have a gait analysis to determine if...

Does anyone know how the reporting time is determined for each plebe?
