Congratulations!!! So happy for you!!!

Completely agree! No control over anything. Just go with the flow!

yes plebe summer and acne go hand in hand if you are prone to breakouts. lots of MIDS with acne. like Capt MJ said you can request an appt to see a Derm, my MID has a friend (MID) that wanted to go on it but it was not allowed - I dont know the details. 2 of my kids (not my MID) took accutane...

I thought it was a great day to attend!! there are lots of parents that attend and watch the climb. we had a great time - all of us (team parents) met early for breakfast and walked over to the climb - spent a long time watching bc our class took a long time to climb - then most all of the...

where we live - many of the high schools have multiple kids appointed - dont worry about that.....my daughter who is a 2C had many (cant remember the exact number around 6-7) from the same congressman get appointments - they all went to USNA too!!!

I am rooting for you and hope you get the appointment to USNA!!! I am so happy you came to the forum for guidance - I dont have the answers for you but I hope that you get the appointment. great job navigating this alone and getting the nomination!!! we are all here to help you!

I love watching ship selection!! so great to see these Midshipmen picking their ship and the songs are just so fun!! and the announcers!! cant wait for next year and my daughters class!!!

yes there is still a chance for sure - my DD is 2C - there were 5 kids that I know of that went to USNA from our district her year! just because 1 kid got an appt from your district does not mean that others with a nomination wont get one. I dont know all the magic that goes into where the...

PRT is done in august and January - running is the most important thing to be ready to do BUT the big issue is preparing your legs to run on concrete - so many plebes get shin splints and more extreme injuries due to running many miles on the concrete during plebe summer

fun story - we were out of the country this summer and we met a gentleman at a charity event who was a Captain in the Navy - we had an amazing conversation with him - we told him about our daughter at USNA and at the end of our conversation he pulled out his challenge coin from his pocket and...

I would get them!! we have them on all 3 of our young adults/kids - it is important just in case - these would be used in an emergency situation not bc your young adult kid has a cold and you want to talk to the dr. my current MID has an injury, probably going to have to have surgery. I feel...
