    Academy Traditions

    The Seal I actually did witness a Mid walk across the Seal. Suddenly my Mid and others starting calling out "Watch out for the . . ." but it was too late. She was oblivious and just walked straight across the seal. There was a collective groan that made you realize just how aware everyone...

    My Advice to Class 19'

    Well said, Navy18 My son is also a Plebe, and you have captured well what I have heard from him. Even with all of that, he, like you, loves it. Well, maybe not the lack of sleep part but Thanksgiving leave is fast approaching! Best of luck to you!

    Talented professor

    Good stuff, Navymomwannabe! Thanks for sharing that. My 4/C DS actually shooed me and my sister out of Annapolis as soon as the football game was over and we had grabbed a quick dinner at Dock Street. His roommates were going to watch a movie but he was headed back to spend his...

    Number of VA senatorial nom applications - class of 2019

    This was the way it was done last year. And "round robin style" is the perfect description, Pima. If I remember correctly from DS's experience last year, he was offered 3 days with multiple time slots on each day from which to choose. Move 'em, move 'em out.

    Questions for a Current Plebe

    My experience with my DS has been the same as Goldtrim. Honestly we text more than talk on the phone and the texting is pretty regular. I never call him, he calls me. I think only once did I send a text saying "nothing urgent, but call when you get a chance" and he did. A current...

    Navy's new football jerseys

    I'll have to say, I loved them. I was sitting on the Navy side at the game on Saturday, and it was fun to look at the "shoulder boards" to see their year. Plus, there is such a big deal made about the Summer Whites and the Mids do all look so good in them, why not carry that over to the...

    Life of a Junior Officer

    Good Question, Great Answers This is great stuff. I liked it so much I shared it with my Plebe at USNA and a slightly modified version with my sophomore at civilian college. Thanks, y'all! Email to my Plebe: There is an interesting thread on the SA Forum under the "Life after the...

    What Book Are You Reading Right Now?!

    LITS, that's awesome! By the way, you had me googling banjos the other day after your comment about your collection in the current USAA thread. It's amazing what can be learned on this forum! :thumb: meh126, loved reading that quote you shared from Marja Mills' speech at West Point. Made...

    March Back Class of 2018

    Enjoy! Enjoy your time, ca2midwestmom! Just back from Parents Weekend in Annapolis and it was absolutely fabulous. I may have been able to be strong and hold back the tears when we dropped him off on I-day, but rest assured, there were tears of joys as I hugged my baby again as soon as Town...

    What a great update, cajost! Sounds very similar to our visit minus the stress fractures (thankfully!). Oh, and in place of a movie we took a two-hour cruise on the Woodwind II, which was used to film Wedding Crashers, an all-time favorite of ours. Don't judge! Capt. Jen entertained us...

    Meeting w/ Dean of Admissions

    Go, if at all possible. Mdn18, Let me just start by saying you were one of my favorites from the last application cycle. You always impressed me with your attitude, and I was disappointed for you when you got the TWE. I tell you this because having read your posts, I can see why you may...

    Fun stuff, and I love that diversion during BCT. Promoting teamwork and camaraderie and having fun to boot. Perfect thing to see before closing out of the SAF and getting back to the work at hand. Cheers!

    Failing Out of BCT

    LITS, this is awesome. Going through Plebe Summer now. Well, I'm not; my Plebe son is, but you know what I mean. Whether it is in the letters/notes I write or the phone call we just had this past Sunday, I always hope I am saying and doing the right things, but I'm pretty sure I closed...
