Though it was LONG ago, my hubby played basketball at Navy and went aviation ending up in E-2 Hawkeyes flying off carriers. He’s 6’8” so I think your DS should be ok. Jets are usually the problem due to ejection seats but there are lots of other options!

DD is also heading to 15 from 2...away from Stripers Row snd the Dants office. Right in the middle of the Brigade... so we can be a little late to March On but not too late!

My mid is a HUGE fan and had the time of her life... got a pic with him afterwards that was posted on his Instagram. Studied all day today but was hoarse from all the singing. So happy for the “normal” to return! 15 days and a wake up til Herndon😳

My ‘24 DD got her call from MOC on May 21st after being waitlisted on April 8. Plenty of time!

Our story has a happy ending but it was painful getting there. DD dreamed of playing her sport at USNA since the 6th grade, attended every camp, went to games, got to know the coaching staff and actively contacted said staff, who promptly left when the head coach did her sophomore year of high...

My plebe has to recite the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene with a company mate... she’s Romeo and he’s Juliet. I sent her the cliff notes and demanded a video. We shall see but she was adamant... Never bet against Navy!

This thread has made my day...though my plebe is having a ball, the stress of the whole COVID thing was getting to me today. Thanks for the pick me up!

My plebe was actually excited for her duty in King Hall today...🙄 She also told her dad last night that she LOVES the Academy so it’s apparent to me that they are doing something right at the Boat school. However my class of 93 husband was dumbfounded by the word LOVE being said by a plebe😜

She is so thankful that she doesn’t have to cut her hair that she is practicing bun work. I think a cute bob would be lovely 😳

Great advice... and even better when It’s NOT mom giving it! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve watched videos and read lots but thought Id throw this question out there. What should my daughter wear for drop off? We are walking her in and I know Annapolis in July is hot. No skirts or dresses but are athletic shorts and a Navy Tshirt with her broken in running shoes acceptable? Or...

No idea if there will be more forthcoming info when we finally receive our PTR (only had appointment for 4 days) but we will be in Annapolis with our DD regardless. While the BWI info is helpful, is there more info about where to go if you are staying in town? Is there a specific gate where they...

Well... it actually happened. DD got a call from our Congresswoman today telling her she’s off the waitlist! She has accepted and we are on our way. Still in shock...😳

Funny... my DD was waitlisted this year and immediately said..” Oh no... Top Gun 2 comes out in June! I’ll have to compete with TONS of applicants for 2025!” However, thanks to Covid, they pushed the premiere til December. Silver linings, people!!!😜

DD waitlisted as well... Plan B room picked out, deposit paid and online orientation scheduled. My understanding about the waitlist is that it rarely comes into play. However....2020 has been unbelievable so nothing will surprise me!😜

Our DD was waitlisted this week and I’ve had similar thoughts about why... and sports was not our issue. She was a four year varsity athlete and finished as the captain of her state championship winning volleyball team and played on the number one club volleyball team in the country. She was...

Waitlisted here... cannot believe that we have made it this far and still cannot move on. DD has a great Plan B in place (already paid deposit and picked a room) and I wish she could get excited about it instead of waiting to be denied at the last minute. On top of all that is going on, the...
