Other than screen capture/recording of the lower resolution YouTube video of 2023 commencement that’s on-line, does anyone know if there is another source or option? (I apologize that this question is not useful for USNA parents and applicants).

If, while on the Yard, a mid gets sick and is brought to a local hospital and the mid subsequently is billed for the visit, are they responsible for submitting to Tricare and are they responsible for out of pocket expenses and copayments?

Do mids planning vacation in Europe this summer need permission? This will be to a non-NATO (as if this writing) country with a border with Russia.

Navy Poseidon Ultimate (frisbee) qualified at regionals in Virginia Beach today for Nationals (D3) in San Diego- first time ever for Navy Ultimate. Unfortunately Nationals coincides with Army-Navy so they probably won’t get to participate but a nice accomplishment for a little-known club sport..

Our soon-to-be 2/C DS say he has no interest in getting a class ring - too expensive and he will never wear it because it “sends a bad message to those around him after commissioning”. I get the expense but I don’t get the second part. We probably can help defray some of the cost for a ring...

I don't get many texts from my DS but I got this one this morning as ROM begins to loosen up: "Gyms opened today. I'm so happy I could cry!" It's the little things in life that make us happy, I guess. He said 7th wing gym is "the wild west" with a "real prison vibe" - all the pins holding...

Discussing with DS (youngster last night). No LREC for him this year and he is disappointed (is what it is). He wondered if he might eventually get to Europe etc. on a vacation once he is in the Fleet or Corps. What kind of vacation time do junior officers get (if any) and are there certain...

DS is home for the holidays and indicates a number of youngsters he knows have had limited credits this past semester and in the upcoming semester (12 - 14 credits) and can’t take a heavier load. Wondering if this is out of the norm. 12-14 seems really low.

Asking for DS. Who In his CoC should he approach to ask about his aptitude grade and how he can raise it next semester.

Can P2B and parents shop at the mid store on the day before or day of i day? If so, what ID is required?

DS says he can no longer get into his CIS portal to fill out the sponsor questionnaire. Anybody having this trouble or a work around (he will call admissions tomorrow but I said I would check here, too)

DS just found out that one of his friends in high school will be attending St. Johns in Annapolis. This is really strange - two kids from an inner city public school in the midwest end up across the street from each other half-way across the country. Other than the annual croquet match, do mids...

(Before responding, Yes, I did do a forum search on wisdom teeth). DS (2023 appointee) was at the dentist last week for 6 month checkup and dentist would like to refer him to a specialist consult to have three wisdom teeth removed. I spoke with the specialist on the phone (ahead of the...

My youngest DS is a freshman in HS. He won't be striving for an SA (he is medically disqualified from any military service) and he doesn't play HS sports. But he is on the robotics club team, which is nationally very competitive. The robotics team meets during the entire school year every day...

I've read on this forum some grumblings about less than stellar communications with ROTC admissions counselors and I just want to post an anecdote with DS that tells a different story. DS had been dragging his heels a bit on finishing his NROTC application prior to the first board this year...

Because of a scheduling conflict at DS's school, he cannot take Physics, as planned. Does anyone know if there is an on-line AP Physics option (homeschoolers perhaps?). How do you deal with the lab portions? I know absolutely nothing about on-line courses. Are they accepted by colleges (and...

DS was surprised to receive a call last night from a local Marine Captain, noting that DS is applying to USNA and asking if he would be interest in applying for NROTC-MO as a plan B. (DS is in-process with his NROTC (non-MO) application but has not submitted anything yet). Got us to wondering...

I thought we had this figured out but in a search of the forums I am not so sure. Does USNA super score using both SAT and ACT. More specifically, would USNA create a super score using highest Math ACT and highest English SAT? If they do, do they convert everything to SAT or ACT equivalents...

DS learned yesterday from someone associated with our MOC to prepare to be ready to answer the following question in a MOC interview this fall: "Should Muslim women be permitted to wear the hijab if they are appointed to USNA?" DS did some research last night and found that US Army is...

We're a little confused on the rest time and individual event duration times for each element of the CFA. As the USNA web site table indicates, the B-Ball throw begins at time 0:00 and there are 2:00 minutes to complete three attempts. This is followed by a 3:00 minute rest before pull-ups...
