We received an email some time ago regarding the plebe computer situation. If memory serves, I think the email was relayed through the national parents association, but I could be wrong. The email said something to the effect that the computers issued to plebes this year ended up being less...

Wondering if any students might be able to help with this. I am trying to locate the ISBN number for the chem book that is used plebe year (Chem 1). Would like to make tutoring arrangements for upcoming breaks, etc. and see if it is on cramster. DS doesn't know anyone still taking chem and...

Can somebody help me out? I know I saw this sompelace and my memory is shot...... I saw a list of school items that plebes will need to purchase specific to their major once they have completed first tri. There was a list of items for engine majors and a list for deck majors and it looked...

I am seeing a number of activities listed for Homecoming Weekend 9/24-26 on the regimental calendar. Are parents who live locally allowed to attend these events? I realize the football game is probably open to anyone who wants to attend but I see Beat Retreat is scheduled for 0930 on Saturday...

As indoc has wrapped up and classes have started, I thought it might be helpful to write down some things while they are fresh in my mind (and yours) that could help the parents of the class of 2015. Some of the things I have "learned" were things I learned from previous years plebe parents - I...

I have been trying to call KP for the past two days to ask a question about one of the Naval Science forms required for Indoc. On my first dozen or so tries I got a recorded message saying my call did not go through and to try again. Then I started getting a fast busy signal. I have tried...

Has anyone noticed that Logging In for the Class of 2014 has been posted on the USMMA website? That very tiny little link at the bottom of the homepage has changed from "Logging In Class of 2013" to "Logging In Class of 2014". Glad I didn't go shopping for New Balance shoes.... they have...

We received our son's official certificate of appointment a few weeks ago in the mail. The cover letter explains that we may want to make arrangements to have the appointment presented at the high school graduation ceremony. Our son's high school has told us that they have a policy of not...

I realize that all questions will probably be answered when Logging In for the Class of 2014 arrives, BUT in an effort to plan ahead, can anyone make suggestions for shopping for the required items on the checklist? We are having Spring Break and I would like to get a head start if possible...

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on the requirements for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) for the Class of 2014? I checked the TWIC website and it appears the turnaround time can be 8 weeks - is it something to get started on now? And while asking about...

Just wondering about something and invite the input of other members..... I'm sure it's fair to say that most of us on this board are waiting for acceptance to or have been accepted by one or more SA. But I bet it's also safe to say that most applicants applied to one or more other schools...

This is a very weird question and this is probably not the right spot on this forum to post it but from a parent's perspective it bears asking somewhere. In our community a high school senior was arrested recently in connection with a planned attack on his high school. It was big news and...

What is the best course for sending a thank you note to a MOC who has provided a nomination? Send it to the local office? Send it to the Washington, DC office? What is everyone else doing?

I have been looking through various threads and noticed a pretty lengthy discussion about USMMA requiring that students have their wisdom teeth removed prior to reporting for school. Once I got past my initial surprise, it actually does make sense, I guess. I wouldn't want my kid to end up in...
