My son who is currently a youngster at USNA, took AP Chemistry his junior year and AP Physics his senior year.

I am going to remember this for when my DS (class of 2019) is going through service selection. I may be private messaging you! The sub draft is already something my Mid is worrying about.

Make sure you apply for USNA Summer Seminar in January! This will actually start your application to USNA.

USNA never even asked for my son's last semester transcripts.

What happens if your mid has Block 1 summer school? Do they have to move out of their school year room and into another room?

We did not stay close to the Naval Academy for I-day last year. We stayed at a hotel by the Annapolis Mall. We parked at the stadium and rode the buses over. After we left our DS when he checked into Alumni Hall, we wandered around the academy all day. There's a lot to do (tours, picnic...

I found for PPW, having a hotel that was walking distance from the Naval Academy was really nice. My husband and I stayed at Loews and the price was higher than I normally pay for hotels, but with the Naval Academy parents club prices, it was not too bad. I think it was about $200 per night. And...

There are no scheduled events for parents the day after I-day. The only reason to stay an extra day may be to rest. I-day was exhausting, emotionally and physically. Last year, my husband and I left Annapolis the day after I-day. It felt so weird to leave my son. I kept feeling like I had forgot...

My plebe said he passed his PRT and he is "celebrating" with Pizza and Ice Cream! :)

@goforspaatz- Thanks!

I'm feeling sorry for my plebe right now. What is a SHAPE training and a DAS?

@Ben_m_usna2020 My DS says it is a CAS-CX.

@Ben_m_usna2020 I have texted my DS with your question and will let you know when he gets back to me.

My DS is a current plebe and he was issued a TI-nspire CX.

My son had been offered CVW's before he was offered the appointment to USNA, but had not attended any of them. After he was offered his appointment, he asked admissions if he could attend a CVW in spring to help him make his final decision about accepting the appointment versus other schools. He...

My DS was offered a CVW when he was still a junior in high school just after filling out the application for Naval Academy Summer Seminar. He declined it and was still offered an appointment. The Naval Academy did offer for him to attend a CVW again and he did eventually attend a CVW after he...

My DS was offered a CVW when he first submitted his application for NASS in January of his junior year. He did not attend the CVW but was still offered an appointment for class of 2019.

NavyHoops- Yes, we are west coasters too! I think booking flights with Southwest is a great idea. That way if something comes up, we can use the ticket money for another flight. We were planning to arrive a couple days before Herndon and then leave the next day. But I was wondering if it might...

Thank you Capt MJ. I have already told my plebe not to pass up any opportunity for an adventure while he is at the Naval Academy! Even if it means that he cannot come home or spend time with us.
