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...

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...

...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...

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...

She was able to call us last night late at around 1030pm our time (central) Evidently, the stomach flu has spread to quite a number of the class. She said there were a lot of them with it. Symptoms are: throwing up, diarrhea, etc. She said she passed out and the Corpsman said the heat was a...

https://www.facebook.com/#!/USNavalAcademy In case anyone has kids in this company. Which brings up a question I have: They call the numbers company and in reality they are the platoons - right? (There shoots down the whole "military family" idea. This must be a USNA thing?)

Happy Birthday America!

We are proud to share that Victoria survived I-Day. But we were shocked when she shared that 12 kids quit yesterday. Question to those in the know: is this typically?

My daughter got her haircut Friday. 14 inches total gone. Looks great. I'd post a picture but I cannot figure out how to post a picture here.

Victoria and I went to the St. Louis USNA Parents Club luncheon Saturday. It was really great! We got to meet some of the new Ensigns that graduated in the 2014 class, alumni, upcoming plebes and parents. The coolest thing we learned about was a local group called St. Louis Miliatary...

I need some help here. My daughter's (sorry I just can't do the DD / DS thing) graduation program lists the scholorships each student has earned. Honestly, I am a bit floored. The college counselor (and I copied and pasted it here so I make sure you get the exact wording she typed me)...

My side of our family was over Christmas Eve. I saw the BTE in the mailbox and impatiently waited until everyone was there to say, "Victoria, we didn't check the mail today." Here's the pictures: Opening BTE... I think she's excited! She didn't waste any time filling out the...

My daughter has several AP credit courses she has taken since her junior year in HS. Is she able to get credit for these at USNA?

So we just saw that DODMERBS has requested a remedial. She has nothing medically to be remediated. I looked at the codes (which we don't have yet) but the first codes are dental - she didn't have a dental exam, they didn't request one. Did anyone else have this situation? It is the LAST...

My daughter has everything in but the medical. I just called and she had 2 accounts with DODmets. (Glad I called...) got it straightened out and they have now submitted to DODMERBS. It would be so, so nice to have the appointment before Christmas. Can anyone tell me how long it takes for...

My daughter had her B&G interview on October 21, 2013. Went great. But, he has not submitted his report to Admissions. Since, she has received her LOA and Presidential Nomination. She has emailed him - no reponse. Called him and the # is out of service. She has left a voice message with her...
