Feel better soon! My kid is positive too, but not feeling too sick (at least so far). This truly affects everyone differently. Lots of people care about you from afar and are sending all kids of of positive thoughts. Wish we could do more.

This plebe mom is so grateful and I know our kids "will pay it forward" ASAP :)

Thank you. I plan to continue to embrace this approach :) I can’t control any of this and don’t want to. Again, she is learning more than we ever anticipated this fall. What amazing stories these kids will have- what grit!

I’m just a plebe mom who knows very very little but have just decided it’s my role to trust the system. And I was previously a very hands-on parent though high school. The level of rumor mill and parent involvement I’m seeing has really surprised me. My kid sounds happy and has no complaints and...

It’s extremely sad

I am deeply, profoundly grateful for the steps being taken to keep our kids safe and healthy and have no doubt the hard work will begin this weekend. It has not been a cake walk for kids, esp. those in isolation—but will make them stronger for sure.

Hope this is ok to post here? Interested in recommendations from the more experienced folks for parents with no navy background eager to learn more about their kids’ likely path ahead. Have read everything online but know there are good books out there but you never know with Amazon reviews :)...

Thank you! Ha! My girl is about a foot shorter :)

thank you, very helpful! She's very mature and she's not worried about it. I just started thinking about the practical issues. While we'd be able to take her there, being able to anticipate things like the hotel issue you raise just in case is very helpful. Thank you!

thank you so much!

I will be doing research on the USNA website for sure, but wanted to hear from others who have experience with a son or daughter at the academy who is still 17 as we may end up in this situation. Do you sign extra forms? Are they basically considered to no longer be a minor if they are at the...

17 people got dismissed that day? Curious to hear the types of things that cause that!

Hi there, I know the answer is probably "it depends," but wondering if kids with LOA + Nom normally hear sooner about their appointments? Or, are they likely to be in the March-April timeframe. Will USMA likely wait for 7th semester grades if already 3Q? Thank you!

Do the female plebes seem to be well integrated with the males (vs.sticking together?). I haven’t found much to read about the female experience?

And have others received request yet?

Any new word from Wisconsin nominating sources?

same :)

Has anyone heard from Wisconsin senators?

Is it unusual to get an LOA and then a 2q letter (still waiting for medical paperwork to make it's way there). The letter says "you are still competing for admission." Is this standard language even with an LOA? Obviously it's all pending a nomination. Any thoughts?
