    Acceptance weekend for the class of 2020

    Not sure if this is still allowed, but we always brought a cooler filled with picnic food for our DS and his friends whose families were not able to attend. It was great to sit and let them 'relax' and chat and they were thrilled not to have to eat at Delano's. We'd resupply at Deli On the Green...

    Class Rank

    Bear hunter- DS was very fortunate that his HS guidance counselor's secretary was on the ball but he also assisted in supplying addressed envelopes, submitting items before the deadline and graciously and politely following up on items. He did all he could to help the process along. The...

    Ring Dance Tickets

    My DS and his fiancé paid their own way to the ring dance and spent the weekend in NYC with their friends doing the touristy things they hadn't done in the 4 years they were in NY. They had a great time! I would make every effort to make the weekend a possibility. It's the one thing that I...

    Parent Weekend

    http://www.usmmaaf.com/s/1175/index.aspx?sid=1175&gid=1&pgid=571 We stayed at the Hyatt for graduation last month. Very nice. Hampton was next door. It was about 20 minutes away with decent traffic. Use 700 North Avenue instead of actual address for the GPS. Received the discount but had...

    Personal gear - male

    We bought inexpensive stuff for indoc and then brought up a fresh set at Parent's Weekend. That goes ditto for towels. We didn't get the fluffy-rather the thinner quicker to dry worked best.

    Navy Federal Credit Union

    Yes, you can go to a local branch and open an account. I would recommend having a parent on as well to transfer funds if needed - nice during sea year. My DS had his savings account with mine NFCU account since childhood and then added a checking acct and credit card. He did need to change his...

    Graduation Invitations

    There was a thread about this last year. If I remember correctly, the info is sent directly to the mids and the deadline is later than you would think. It seems really late since most college graduations are in early-mid May. I was on the updated website this weekend and the info for...

    Application question

    Happy Camper, Have your DS request that he shadow a swim team member. I don't believe he will be able to participate in the swim team practice but he will be able to observe and meet team members. PM if you have specific questions.

    Party of one from LGA to KP ( and in no hurry)

    N58 Lynpar, If you take the N58 from Great Neck, make sure you have change or a metro card that you can purchase at the kiosk when you get your LIRR ticket. The bus doesn't accept dollar bills. I would get metro cards for the bus and then give them to my DS for him so he could use the...
