Does anyone know when Plebe Parents Weekend will be this year? I searched and did not find it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Very helpful information.

Hi! My son is a Foundation kid and we are trying to plan ahead to I Day. Can anyone recommend nearby hotels that will be specifically good for the few days we'll be there? Thanks so much!

Definitely mention it to show you know the Navy life and what to expect. This shows that you are quite serious about the Academy and a future in the Navy.

Update: We've gotten much more information now. He chose a school based on websites because we live in Asia (military) and visiting wasn't feasible. His grades and resume were strong. He was told that the reason he was offered a Foundation scholarship, rather than a direct appointment, is that...

You can submit a better CFA if you repeat and do better. Keep working out and try again.

Thank you so much. This helps a lot. So do they have to go through the Congressional/Presidential nomination process again?

Thank you so much. This helps a lot.

Hi. My son just received an offer to go to a Naval Academy Foundation Prep school. There's a list of 18 schools. They gave him no additional information and we are stationed overseas, so he is having a hard time connecting with the person who tried to contact him from the Foundation. In the...

He's staying with friends of ours, so he's safe. Hoping to figure out some way to connect with USNA.

So nice. Thank you. He traveled with my husband, so he's covered.

That's so nice! My husband is trying to make contact with someone there to see if they can figure something out. We'll see.

He traveled with my husband, but he has to work (Navy) while he's there. He's trying to figure something out with the USNA.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. He did travel there with my husband, who is Navy, so he's trying to figure something out. So far, nothing. He's at least getting the chance to do his NROTC skype interview Stateside, while he's there, to avoid China internet disruptions.

Yep!

Thanks everyone, for the advice about what to pack for CVW. My son flew to DC last night, from our posting in China, in preparation for his CVW this weekend, got off the plane and got an email announcing the weekend's events were cancelled. I understand, of course, but it's such a...

Thanks. He hadn’t found it on the webpage. Appreciate it.

I know this information must be somewhere in the forums, but I've spent an hour searching and reading posts and can't find anything other than that he won't need PT gear or a swimsuit. Is it helpful for him to have his laptop for class time? A notebook and pencil? Thanks in advance. Erin

Reading through this thread, am I right that the kids cannot access the DoDmerb until they receive an email with a link basically inviting them? DS tried to access it on his own yesterday but could not get through. We are living in China, with the great internet firewall, so we never know if...

My DS got into NASS but then was injured and could not attend. He then got an invite to CVW and will go next month. We live overseas so he has to fly 14 hours to get there, but he really wants to go and is afraid if he declined the invite, it wouldn't look good.
