If your goal is to become an officer in the US Navy, you can commission as an ensign straight out of USMMA. Many grads do it every year. I also understand that getting a Naval Flight slot out of USMMA is easier than it is out of USNA.

I’ve used Zelle on several occasions. It easy and instantaneous.

The only other thing I can think of is it might be the Trio section of the "National Emblem March". As @azmilmom said, there's got to be a USMMA video out there somewhere.

@Andrew4125 , @birdwatcher4125 congratulations on the appointment from a fellow Wisconsinite. Happy to answer any questions, or put you in touch with people who can. Get up to 10 posts so you can send private messages.

According to my 2020 Band Co. son, the piece is “A Life on the Ocean Wave”.

I remember when I was in my early 20’s and thought I knew everything only to realize later in life how wrong I was. Listening quietly and responding respectfully will take you much further than coming off as a know it all.

My 2021 DS said that plebes got their phones back a few weeks after Indoc, but were supposed to leave them in their rooms and not use them. He said you can apply for a BYOD (bring your own device) connection to the WIFI after plebe year, but doesn't know how likely it is to be approved...

This is the key. Things move too fast to hesitste.

$20 or less. Go to Walmart. You won’t mind lending them out when you see all the teary-eyed moms and dads at Indoc. Have your DS/DD wear something recognizable so you can pick them out.

I was thinking the same thing. :rolleyes:

Go ahead and accept your USMMA appointment. If USNA comes through, just contact USMMA admissions and let them know you won't be attending. My 2020 DS's first choice was USNA; however, after his first trimester at USMMA, he said he knew he was in the right place. With all the options USMMA...

Congratulations @Brassplayer. I assume you're looking forward to being in Band Co. What instrument do you play?

This! You don't want to be that guy.

You could most certainly form a rock band at KP. You could even make it a club activity, provided you have a sponsor and enough people who are interested. If you had upper classmen in the group, you could even play gigs off campus during plebe year.

Yes, they took their professional-grade horns with them. They just dropped them off in O'Hara when they checked in and picked them up at the end of the day. No troubles at all. That said, their horns get used for all sorts of marching and other outdoor activities, so they are at greater risk...

My 2021 DS is in Band Co and says they have plenty of varsity athletes in Band. As @kpmom2013 said, the biggest commitment will be for Beat Retreat. The school instruments are pretty much POSs, especially the trumpets. Both my DSs took their trumpets to Indoc and kept them in a locker until...

No truer words said.

In other words.... "Welcome to Kings Point. We hope you enjoy your visit."

Not to scare anyone, but these are a couple of my favorite shots from Indoc day zero. I can't take credit for them though. They were probably snapped by KP Photography.

Yes, absolutely bring binoculars! Not only will you be able to catch a glimpse of your DD/DS, you'll make plenty of new friends loaning out your binoculars to teary-eyed moms and dads. Some have said "don't be the first in line going into O'Hara hall for processing". I say go for it. Our...
