    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    Sorry DD just have to add this. Poor editing by me should read “I take it ALL BACK if your thinking of throttling back your input here"

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    Ah Nope: you are one of the voices here that I really enjoy. I coulda done better yesterday, I was in a huge hurry to get out the door and headed to a contentious meeting. 3hrs out+6hr meeting+3hrs home. I should have cut my response to you at: "Re DD and boy friends responses. The question I...

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    I feel like I should respond to a couple of things: I remember your son’s story Doc. Its impressive and I have referenced it a couple of times in conversations with friends and family (truly). I’d go on here but I don’t have a lot of time this AM. Re DD and boy friends responses. The...

    Reasons to Go USNA……besides flying

    I’ve been thinking about offering up this thread for a while; I hope it has legs. I found this site about 8 years ago. My DD had an Appointment in hand, and she’d felt a strong draw to become a Mid on a recruiting visit. DD was very uneasy with her lack of knowledge about life at USNA and in...

    2/C struggling to pass the 1.5 mile PRT

    Re the risks of Coffee: During my first year of grad school I developed a distinct grey tint to my complexion, my body temp went down just over 2 degrees and I just felt like crap. I let it go a few days before walking into “Hall Health” on campus. Doc walks in looks at me/talks to me and...

    2/C struggling to pass the 1.5 mile PRT

    I own two good sized fitness clubs, (wish I didn’t…………………... but you live and you learn). I know a fair amount of folks in the fitness industry, they keep me in touch with industry trends. Keeping it simple; COFFEE increases energy and endurance w/o significant the negatives that sometimes...

    A Friday Tune

    Doubt anybody has heard of this band. They used to play house (frat) parties around the University of Washington neighborhood here in Sea Wa (or as DD would say “in PacNo". I catch-em around town and at zoo concerts in the summer. Not “big time” but they’ve been noticed and have a fair amount...

    Quick Question for those on this board TODAY

    DD recently moved to NSW. Between training up for deployment and Hamas/Israel her work weeks have been 7x12. As a result she really hasn’t seen much of VB. As a kid she attended a ton of Husky FB games with Just Dad, but with her work load when asked if she planned on watching the last PAC12...

    usna nomination gone

    Being honest with you, my DD's math and English were in the 30s . That said, the fact is the Coach is watching your application; a good thing. Nom help or an LOA may be on the way. You have NAPS and USMAPS offers? AWESOME! You’ve already won at this stuff. Search NAPS on this board and you...

    usna nomination gone

    Don’t be discouraged. Back in 2015 DD was told she had an LOA that never came. We ultimately learned that DD was (like you) a candidate with a strong possibility of appointment w/o an LOA. Coach’s always have more athletes they want than they have LOAs for so the juggle a bit. DD's coach was...

    NPS Graduation gift idea?

    “And it’s still ticking”. I went looking for a video of an old timex add. I found one (and only one). It was perfect ……. Except that it involved a cliff diver with a timex on his fist 😬. It seems that it already has made a good commercial. BTW: It's actually nice that 4Oyrs latter your...

    Personal Statement

    Write about something that matters to you. Tell them why “it" matters to you. What have you’ve learned, given up, and fought for in service of/pursuit of this "meaningful thing". Then a few words on how this, “Meaningful Thing” and your experience with it elates to your raw potential as a Naval...

    Getting selected into IWC/Intel or RL

    This matches what I observed of my DD’s drive to earn one of 2-3 PQ Intel spots in CL2020. 1) DD established and maintained strong relationships with representatives of the Intel community at USNA. She sought them out, asked for direction and acted on it. 2) As a Plebe, DD was having great...

    Navy home football game

    Traveled for 5-6 games while DD was at USNA. Stub Hub is good, so is SeatGeek (I liked SeatGeek a little better). https://rigorousthemes.com/blog/stubhub-vs-seatgeek-which-ticket-platform-is-right-for-you/ Comparison. Tickets are cheaper and selection is better than Athletic office...
