Thank you kp2020mid. That helps me when ordering this week from the NEX. How many extra cotton and poly t-shirts, and and shorts would you recommend? I am thinking we will order more to make 5 of each, but space may be limited and I don't want to over do it. Re-wearing dirty PT gear could be...

Question... I know that it was recommended to have a few extra t-shirts, socks, and underware. What about PT gear? How many PT shirts cotton, PT shirts poly, and PT shorts are issued? Also, what color are the Compression shorts that are in the Personal Items Kit? My son already has black...

Congratulations. Good to see other Prep Schools present.

Thank you golfindad for your information. You are correct it really doesn't matter, all that matters is DS GOT IN!!! We knew how the DOD academies worked, but did not know how USMMA worked. It was apparent by the considerably lower number of appointments offered that there was not one DS/DD...

How would we know if DS received his appointment from NWL or from Congressional District Nomination? I know they need a nomination from their Congressman or Senator to be appointed. My DS received his appointment notice Saturday 4/29 and MOC called Monday 5/1 to make sure he knew and...

Thank you kpmom2013 and sevenrider860 for posting the logging in booklet link.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. Maybe we are not as far behind as I thought. I thought maybe everyone was issued them as they accepted their appointments, and for some of you that was a month or two ago.

Thank you for the link. We have not received our 2021 Logging book. My DS just received his appointment on Saturday 4/29/17 and his portal updated this morning. We are a little behind the curve I think.

Does anyone know what the Pleb kit and Educational kit are on the cost of attendance page of USMMA?

Thank you to all of you posting this helpful advice to all of us newcomers. We are excited to be on board.

My son said our MOC also invited him this morning during the phone call to attend a celebration in June with all service academy appointees and their families. I think it is a great opportunity and reward for all of their hard work their achievement.

Just received a call from our MOC with congratulations.

Thank you goldfindad. This post was most helpful to our family, who just got on board this weekend.

My DS contacted his USMMA liaison by telephone yesterday to let him know that he had received an appointment and he would be accepting. Liaison had no idea yet, he said sometimes he is the last to know. LOL. He was very informative and answered a few questions and was extremely supportive and...

It's official DS is accepting appointment. YEAH!!!! KrisKatz/DS/April 29/Accepted/CA-25/Congressional

Our BFE was sitting on our front Porch, FedEx delivery, when we got home from a family function yesterday afternoon.

Recieved an email this morning that DS had received an appointment to Merchant Marine Academy. BFE came a few hours later by FedEx. DS has only until Monday to make a decision. Unfortunately we were not prepared for this appointment and it has caught us off guard. The MOC requested DS put...
