After starting the season with a hard fought loss in a non conference match at West Point, the KP ruggers have taken off since. Their conference has been dominated by two schools in the past 3-4 years, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and William Patterson Univ. Both squads have come out on...

In case there are any KP Rugby followers. There is a "kings point rugby parents" Facebook page that has pictures from sundays match against Molloy and then the match a couple weeks ago at west point.

I have heard that an unusually large number of plebe candidates dropped during indoc and before completing indoc. From different "sources", I have heard 12, 16 and 27. While I believe the number is closer to 16, I am positive that the number was much higher than the 1-1.5% in the past...

On this Memorial Day weekend let's remember and honor the 142.

Glory Be--Helis is out

Hope all of the plebes seem to be doing ok. You should see a bit of stress in their messages because of exams, but, they will be over soon. You probably have figured out there is no real way to know when they can leave, but, just grin and bear it. Last year we offered to go places, visit...

I know this has hit some of the USMA parents pages. But this is a USMMA plebe candidate who has a sister USMA 2019 and grandfather 1965 USMA. Prayers would be helpful...

Just looking at the calendar and wondering if this weekend is call #1 for the plebe candidates? If it is, here are just some random bullet points: * The call may not come at the appointed time--i.e. have your phone on you all day if you can. * 5 minutes is not a lot of time, and, your DS/DD...

Just thought I would gather some thoughts about the next 2 months. I hope others jump in as well. The day before indoc begins, go on campus and into the bank, and set up a bank account at Navy Federal--go into the branch and set it up, which is different from just filling out the paperwork...

Elaine Chao. It sounds like it may be a good appointment for USMMA. She has experience with MARAD, comes from a shipping family (albeit foreign flag) and her hubby is a strong supporter of the Jones Act, and of U.S. Mariners. Have to wait and see, but I think it could mean some good things...

Sen. Cornyn is having an event for all Texas appointees who have accepted (it looks like) in San Antonio on May 30. You may want to contact the academy coordinator in his office if you have not received the invite. DS did not get a nom from Cornyn, but was still invited. DS' MOC didn't call...

Can someone give me a heads up on what is appropriate when students come home for the holidays and attend functions. DS will be attending USMMA. There are events over the holidays where DS would normally wear a suit. The question comes up as to whether he wears his formal dress from USMMA (I...
