    Questions for a Current Plebe

    The mice are simply occupants in Mother B. Some even name their mice...it is what it is and I hate mice with a passion. The BB are being taken care of. Whenever you have that many people living together, there's gonna be mice and BB. But like I said USNA is taking care of the BB and the...

    Navy's new football jerseys

    OMG that picture is too funny. I like them! I, too had to "warm" to them but I really appreciate that they resemble their actual uniform. When I think of the service academies playing against other non-military teams I visualize the players (no matter the sport) kicking ass and taking...

    Leaving during Plebe year? Advice from people who left during there plebe year...

    this is quite a thread... Neuggs (I think I spelled that correctly - I cannot "see" it now) As a mother of a current Plebe I want to hug you. I agree with the others that clearly you are a very brave person to put yourself out there and tell us of your situation. As far as the original...

    You beat me to this! I just read this. The admission process is a pain in the @ss for a reason.

    PPW

    We are in St. Louis. So we cannot "just go" to see her. I might take you up on that. She's also got a very close half-sister that lives in the area. She was the same about the stories, some were pretty funny - birds pooping on the detailers cover. She has a sinus infection - version of plebe...

    PPW

    We got back yesterday from visiting our daughter for Plebe Parents weekend. It was wonderful! She is healthy minus the stress fractures in her shins. It is AMAZING what they have done to help her: MRI, dye to see exactly the level of the stress fractures...She will be fine - just some time...

    Two candidates from same high school?

    I agree with Maplerock. I don't believe at all that you are at a disadvantage. My daughter is at Plebe summer right now, and: 1. The class of 2018 has the most females ever - 303. 2. If you look at the pictures (which I do everyday) there is a very clear diversity to the class. Talking...

    My Plebe is in the hospital

    Zaphod - I'm getting that now. As an enlisted Navy veteran, I didn't quite "get" the investment, etc. But, like I kept saying throughout the situation - I'm impressed with USNA and my daughter.

    Taking USNA1985 advise

    I've been taking USNA1985's advise and writing everyday. Easier than I thought and fun. Thank God we had the phone call Sunday before the letters arrived from when she was sick, because they were hard to read as a Mom. Her detailer cut her no slack while sick (within reason of course) She was...

    Got the first phone call...

    ...and she was great! I really was expecting her to be down and out and complaining about her difficult start - nope, none of that. She did say that when she returned to her barracks room/area, her classmates expressed how glad they were that she was back. Once again, I'm impressed...

    Plebe letters

    Got more letters USNA1985 was right! We got two letters yesterday. One was written on July 3, and she was great. The next, this Plebe has had a rough start. July 4th they were doing that thing (there's a name for it) racing to make your rack. She collided with a football player and he...

    My Plebe is in the hospital

    More good news Just got a call from the Doctor there, our plebe and her Company officer. They say she is on light duty and getting better. The doctor said, "I've seen some MIDS get the stomach stuff before, but I'm gonna remember your daughter as the one with it the worst." (great...) The...

    Plebe letters

    Rossi, I didn't explain myself well. I was sort of being funny - like "Ha, ha, the friend getts the letter not the parents." And after the last two days of knowing she was sick, I'm just happy she is feeling better.

    Plebe letters

    So...we got our first letter from our Plebe yesterday, addressed to her best friend who is living with us. (Her BF parents are a mess so she is staying with us until she starts her freshmen year at Maryville University here in St. Louis) Knowing the time crunch, I am assuming this was "the...

    My Plebe is in the hospital

    Just like Ratdawg pointed out, they have to learn to take care of themselves and stuff like this. The Commander said earlier this week it got into the mid 90's and was hot, humid and just miserable. Keeping hydrated is difficult. Then add that 1200 (or so) kids are together and you start...
