    Need Advice- 3C wants to throw in the towel

    Thank you . He has decided to take a break from the sport starting this week. Coincidentally, it is 6 week exams this week. He is failing every class he has, which are all Math based. He has been working with private tutors and he says the material is too difficult to comprehend. He studies...

    Need Advice- 3C wants to throw in the towel

    Thank you so much for that advice. He has had condescending professors and tutors at EI is afraid to even reach out anymore . I will tell him to ask around for another professor that is willing to help and not judge.

    Need Advice- 3C wants to throw in the towel

    He spoke to a Chaplain over the summer when he found out that he had to do 2 blocks of summer school and felt really down and hopeless. He said it was extremely awkward as the Chaplain does not say anything and just listened. He left with little or no guidance at all. Are chaplains only there...

    Need Advice- 3C wants to throw in the towel

    Thank you I couldn't agree more. We have gone over the scenarios several times and I think he is more afraid of failing and not having an advocate (Coach) or an excuse of why he is failing rather than being on his own. He realizes there are no excuses other than the material is too difficult for...

    Need Advice- 3C wants to throw in the towel

    Unfortunately, we have tried everything. When he tutors, he feels he has a pretty decent understanding. He is just a horrible test taker. No matter how much he studies and thinks he knows the material, his grades do not reflect it.

    If your 4C/plebe is ready to quit ....

    Sorry for the late response and thank you for your post . I do hope that this next semester will be more enjoyable and so happy to hear they will be eating indoors soon. My DS said he's used to isolation now but the transition will certainly be tough after the comforts of being at home for...

    If your 4C/plebe is ready to quit ....

    Yes it is. My DS hears them all the time when he's sleeping at night and so do a lot of other mids apparently. My DS's company mate caught one that was almost as big as a small cat.

    If your 4C/plebe is ready to quit ....

    I too have a plebe that is dreading to go back. I don't know if this year was completely different due to Covid but it was not enjoyable in any aspect. He had envisioned building comaderie, training, and experiencing brotherhood which he was not able to do. The food was unedible most of the days...

    Mid in Isolation - AMA

    Hello.. I am supposed to go visit my son but he is in isolation right now. Do you happen to know how long the isolation period is if you tested negative? Does the first day start the day of contact or the day of isolation move in ? This is his 2nd bout in isolation and last time he was let out...

    USNA medical disqualifiers

    My DS had some of those same issues. He was able to receive a waiver for a food allergy after successfully completing oral immunotherapy. You should look into it to see if it can be treated asap. There is still time left.

    Plebes Dropping Already

    I was curious about that also. I've heard kids emailing parents still to this day. Not to mention hallway conversations with their doors open and watching Netflix on their computers. None of which my DS's company are allowed to do. I haven't heard a peep from my DS other than a few letters and...
