    Asking the experts

    Per my Mid's admissions officer, it can be emailed, faxed, or regular mail. His counselor emailed it.

    Asking the experts

    My Mid received the invoice on 6/5 when he was a PC. It came from a usmma.edu email address. He got an invoice email with a link to the invoice this year in his academy email and we got a hard copy here at home.

    Asking the experts

    My Mid took a duffle and no backpack. A backpack is part of the plebe kit we purchased. So he didn't want an extra one. He had his docs in an accordion folder that was packed on top of his stuff in the duffle.

    Asking the experts

    Fellow bank examiner here. Started in 1990 with the Feds. I remember using a sprint phone card to dial in to do uploads or downloads of reports. To dial in I entered the 800 number and then a bunch of commas to give enough time for the phone call to go through followed by the calling card...

    USMMA Portal Problems

    Since today is the first day the portal is open and it's a Saturday, I'd give it a couple of days and try again. Hopefully, they'll have fixed the problem by then. Good luck!

    Running Shoes/ Watch Selection

    Shoes are important. Take care of your feet. My son bought these for Indoc. He got them at our local running store and put white laces in them. (2 pair as indicated above) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B077MKSKQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_6Y1JM160NX233DN73Q2G?psc=1

    Do I have what it takes?

    It's been harder to find leadership opportunities during Covid. My DS in high school (not interested in SA) has been creative. He found some community organizations who needed help and were willing to let him take the lead on the some projects. For example, he worked with a group who does...

    2021/22 Outlook

    Vax is currently optional. But as others have said, it's required by many of the shipping companies. Mids looking to do the summer sail with the Navy have to have it. Most got the first Vax this week, unless they previously arranged it on their own with Northwell as some were doing. As for...

    Kings Point or NROTC

    My son had a similar decision, ROTC scholarship to D1 or USMMA. We made one last visit to both of them. When we got on the LIRR to head back to the city, his mind was made up: USMMA. Good luck with your decision.

    Recognition During Covid?

    The last "in person" and on campus recognition was on 4/22/19. My guess is that it will be in person again this year. But the date is anyone's guess.

    How to Succeed Here?

    Are you on a sports team? My Mid found that his teammates were helpful with academics. They either helped him or knew someone who could. I know you may not be practicing due to current restrictions, but you probably know some of them. That may be another option (in addition to talking to your...

    Toiletries

    I asked my Mid.... For guys, bodywash (you don't have hair, so no shampoo needed), non electric toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, Gold Bond Stick (looks like deodorant), good sunscreen (the spray is faster to apply), some aloe, mole skin, Vaseline or chapstick (your preference), and 20...
