[QUOTE=jasperdog;203531]I'm pretty sure folks who have followed this saga over the past year know where I stand on all this so I won't re-cap, more than enough drama has surrounded this entire episode. However, I do want to weigh in and say that making assumptions and indirect or almost...

Larry you thought wrong. Chat and Chew was the name of the contemporary bible study held on Sunday mornings that my DS really enjoyed. Cookie Cafe I believe is held on Thursday afternoons. It's not right to accuse the Guests of trying to siphon off Cookie Cafe funds or at least I think that's...

Lugi, If there was a religious scandal at the AFA what are the details? Who got in trouble over this scandal and what was the outcome? g-man

I agree with you. The USMMA is way behind the other 4 academies not only in facilities, but in monthly stipends, health insurance, care of facilities, and activities for students. I work in property management and the first time I saw the exterior of the academy it looked like a property that...

Number 4 was the hardest for my son. We are from Texas. He has never experienced such short daylight hours and it really effected him. Sending encouraging notes really seemed to help.

It sounds like you may be are prior enlisted. My son is an athlete attending prep school. Everything we have learned about the prep school is that it is there to help you to be successful not trip you up. Also from what I understand the cadets are there for each other. There will be cadets...

Great Video. Glad they have a bright spot each week.

"deferred maintenace" I've been around property management for about 25 years. USMMA looks like a property in distress, at least in the part of the country I'm from. I hope the new super can get DOT to step its game up. The rumors I've heard is that DOT wants USMMA to be "the gem of the...

Norcalmom, Just wanted to add what our experience has been on purchasing airfare. We generally wait until DS gets his class schedule and he knows when his last class of the day will be. Then we give him about 3 hrs to get to LaGuardia. In the past he has always been in uniform (plebe year...

Band Co My son is in band co. He was shanghaied at INDOC last year. He had never played in a band in his life, but knew how to read music. Don't let rumors scare you. The fact is that Band Co is just as capable as every other company. They think they are the best and they say that they...

They can come at anytime. Ours usually came in the afternoons. The first call is really fast. Enjoy it! We had our son call one of our cell phones so he could get us at anytime.

I believe they will post a list soon. Probably on the parents page. You may also see your candidate holding up fingers. Three would be 3rd Co. A closed fist is Band Co. I think I saw a group holding up 3 and 2, which would be Company 302.

Last year it took a day or two before pics were posted. They will have a link on the parents page when they are available. http://www.usmma.edu/parents/

good care Norcalmom, My son was one of the unfortunate last indoc that caught the flu and spent several days at Patton. Just want you to know that the medical staff took excellent care of him, which included sending him to local ER for a chest x-ray because they didn't like the way he...

I wouldn't have missed dropping my son off for anything in the world. (We did leave his crying mother and siblings at home, which was a good decision.) He and I spent the day before INDOC touring NYC, meeting the nicest New Yorkers in the world, who literally led us through train stations and...

My son and I stayed at the Glen Cove Mansion last year for INDOC. It is an easy drive and the place is impressive. It gets a wide range of reviews, but our stay was good. Glen Cove is a nice town as well. People were really friendly and helpful to a Country bumpkin. You'll need to rent a...

USMMA Basketball What I hear is that last year the USMMA basketball team was very good and made it into the finals round in their division. They have most of their players returning and they are shooting for a championship.

I remember seeing it on the parents page, but I don't see it now. Seems like it dealt specifically with INDOC.
