    Club Sports 2022-2023 Schedules

    Softball has a FB page and a site off the USNA.edu site under athletics/club sports. DD played for them when they were national champions. The coach is very approachable but I'd wait until you get to meet her this fall.

    Finding a Mids PO Box Number

    You could drop it in an envelope and send it to the Chaplain's office with a note explaining. I'm sure they see that the MID received it.

    Honor Lists No Longer Posted?

    Funny I didn't think of that and just the other day I watched video of DD after the hat toss. She ran to the back where her company was in order to celebrate with them.

    Honor Lists No Longer Posted?

    I figured that was probably the case. I wonder when the top 100 will sit with their companies for commissioning. Can't have real accomplishments being noted. DD always had a star but it took her until 1C to make the Supe's list and I believe she felt she earned it. Those sitting in the front...

    Naval Academy Club—is it worth it?

    I love the place. Reminds me of going to the O club with my dad. The brunches are what we usually attend and are pretty good. I don't think DD ever went there during her four years unless we brought her. I think my membership is good for a few months more and I'd like to hit it one more time.

    PPW this week: Planning to go to PEP friday

    Not sure about this year but in 17' we went to PEP along with about 200 other parents. My take away, Maj Antonelli is a beast. He led the workout from a platform using a mic and spoke regularly throughout PEP. Take away 2, the line at the head is very long.

    HPCON B and masks required again indoors.

    I guess getting vaccinated was kind of a waste. I never understand how covid knows not to infect anyone eating but you must wear it to the table. Or in this case sleeping. One Mid sitting in their room with a mask, 3 or 4 sleeping without it. I truly don't understand the logic.

    Does my mid hate me?

    That didn't come out right. I meant to say they seemed to want us in their lives more than when they were in school or at the Yard. I seem to recall doing the same when I was away at school.

    Does my mid hate me?

    So after Graduation and Commissioning we hear from DD2 a lot more. She has a TAD at the Yard that is rewarding and we get to hear about it more than when she was a MID. DD1 was the same way. We didn't hear much during college but after she moved out we got texts and a weekly FaceTime...

    ‘25 PS so far

    Don't give them ideas. In 2017 a mom of a Mid got his password and proceeded to tell anyone who inquired what company their Plebe was assigned. I don't know how much trouble the Mid was in when the Brass found out but I can imagine they weren't happy. Every year some parent or two does...

    ‘25 PS so far

    I was concerned about DD 4 years ago. The USNA videos make it seem like the Mids walk on water and while I knew she was special she was still just our kid. The PS pictures we found were not always encouraging but the calls were good. Still I worried, so for my sake I wrote between 1-3 letters...

    question about summer internships through the service academies

    I believe there are internships that are not paid and the MID or the parents will pony up the cash. Just like the civilian workplace. He should team up with someone to share the hotel and rental car. Rental car companies will rent to military under 25.

    When to send care packages?

    LongAgoPlebe, I have received some nice letters from Plebes the last four years I've been sending packages. It's nice to hear that is really did mean something to you. I too tell them I don't expect a response but that I will respond to all correspondence. Three letters was the most I've...

    When to send care packages?

    If you have the means, consider creating one addressed to "Any Plebe" C/O the Chaplains office. Not everyone gets a care package or even mail due to family circumstances or it's just overlooked with email and texting the normal method of communication. For the foreign students, mail or a small...

    Swim or (Endurance & wt training)

    The 200 is the shortest distance they will swim for a grade. If she's not that strong she should consider taking the class to prepare for the other two swims. Is she planning on dedicating 8 weeks to train for the 400?

    Chemistry or physics?

    Take both! Seriously, USNA looks for both of them if offered at your school. You didn't mention any other AP classes so it may bolster your academic record.

    Club Spring Sport / Equipment Storage / I Day

    I would contact the coach of your sport. There are some club sports and EC's like Glee Club that Plebes attend practice during the summer but a lot don't meet until after Plebe summer.

    Ens. Cameron Kinley

    DD was Captain of her club team and did get something towards the physical score in the MOM. I can't speak to the exact number assigned for rostered member, starter or All American.

    This kind of thing undoes a lot of what the Army Navy ads have so masterfully done. Ad for the Army Navy Game “When you watch your contemporaries indulging the urge for material gain, comfort, and personal advancement, your choice will seem hard...Never forget, however, that the battle for...

    Thank you USNA.

    Your DD's experiences mimic my DD's from a few years back. I too thought it was going to be Subs but then she went flying. She will be headed to NAS Pensacola in the Fall but before, she opted to teach Plebes to sail this summer. Tough summer.
