My DS stayed in the Sonesta. It was fully furnished and the breakfast was decent. It was an easy transition. https://www.sonesta.com/sonesta-es-suites/md/annapolis/sonesta-es-suites-annapolis

My DH and my DS's girlfriend, along with sponsor mom and brother, went last year. They had a lot of fun. I had to work, so I watched livestream.

Maybe consider the Chemistry over the English if you are lite on STEM?

Why are you not planning on taking Chemistry 2?

Actually the first that chose both ports in Japan and Rota Spain each got a sword. My DS is San Diego bound, it was so fun to watch on the live stream!

yes, I am excited to watch!

I am not sure how many are red only versus read and white. I am just curious, didn't want to ask DS too many questions.

So I am a little confused about the tags. If my DS needs to take a red tag, what happens if there are not red tags left? He said there are 60 red and red/white tags with 30 of them, but can't anyone take a red/white tag?

So, it really does depend on where the mid is from. Ours from the Colorado/Wyoming border in the Rocky Mountains, he thought the dark ages was nothing. But friends, roommates, etc. who are from areas that are really temperate in climate were in for a rude awakening. It is deary, cold, and...

Sooo..... the service selection bonus hit the mid pay. I know I have never received a $15K bonus in my life. Great welcome to NUKE SWO community for my DS!

Hello, My DS (who is a firstie - senior at USNA) was a football player and a wrestler. Do a sport you enjoy. Some sports in high school (depending on where you are are no cut.) This is the most recent class portrait. You need to shoot for the high end of all these areas...

So, my DS originally didn't have Nuke SWO on his list. About six weeks ago he received an e-mail saying that his grades were good enough for Nuke SWO and subs. They invited him to a dinner, which he went and he really liked the community. Then he was invited to interview in DC. He went to...

So my DS early selected Nuke SWO. He was quite a bit grumpy about people saying that many were drafted into this community since it was his STRONG first choice. To soften matters, the Nuke SWO officers came around and presented him a giant $15K check (signing bonus). My DS laughed and said it...

Mine early selected Nuke SWO, last week (not quite early but....) He was thrilled, it was his first choice. I think there was still a lot of pressure as company mates didn't get their first choice. It is emotional for them all.

Speak for yourself! I am still in turmoil about the April 17th appointment (CPR for months....) and my DS is a Firstie lol One a more serious note, best of luck for all those who are applying this cycle!

Today is the last day to purchase tickets with the Colorado/Wyoming parent's club. They are $50 each. They also have tailgate tickets at the CO/WY USNA tent (where your mid is to be at 7 AM. They feed the Mids for free.) They are serving breakfast and beer.... Who knew that was a...

He had three stripes summer, two now, and not sure about Spring. Didn't know if I could have him take the pictures with the 3 stripes or not?

I would like to have photos of my DS other than the Lucky Bag shot. I have a couple of questions. 1) Can the photos be taken with the highest midshipman rank shoulder boards or do they have to be in their current rank? 2) Can they wear the long sleeve white uniform even if the photos are...

So our DS really likes to stay with his sponsor. He came home plebe and youngster year. The last year and this year, he wants to stay with them. The airline travel is insane, especially on the Sunday back. I think it was nice to have him home plebe year, but each kids is different.

Just out of curiosity, 1/C 's final selections were due last week. How does the process work now? Do certain warfare communities go down the first choice lists and grab 1/C who put it down first, or do they go by OOM and place those mids where they choose first? or is it something different...
