    Facebook for USNA Parents

    Official Naval Academy LOA Thread Class of 2016

    So true! Our son was very disappointed and discouraged after being turned down for NASS. But that initial rejection made him even more determined to put together the very best application package possible. He went on to receive an appointment, and last summer he finally got to go to NASS - as a...

    Travel for breaks

    Well, yikes! I have been told repeatedly that there was a "4 hour rule", i.e. if the report time was 6:00 pm your flight should arrive at BWI no later than 2:00 pm. If it is actually OK to schedule flights to arrive only 2 hours before report time that would allow many more flight options for us.

    My page format has gone wonky!

    For some reason, the second post on each page now appears directly to the right of the ad, which stretches the page waaaay out to the right. I thought this was just a quirk of my old computer, but it does the same on my iPad. Any tech savvy people out there know how I can fix this? Thank you...

    Plebe Summer Advice

    Take another look at the original post: The key words are "until you figure the place out". I think this is good advice, not only for Plebe Summer, but for many situations in life. It might just take you a day or two, or maybe a week, but give yourself a little time to figure it out! I've...
