I asked my DS to send a brief "Proof of Life" text when it was over. I have had a few Waldo Sightings on IG but nothing from him. I honestly don't expect to hear. Just seeing the few photo's has shown me he was ready for this!

You should absolutely contact the USNA before taking this step. They will be the best to advise you. I can only say that my DS had to have his regime completed 6 months before report date. While on the medication my son was not supposed to have a lot of sun exposure and it really dehydrates...

My son did not get accepted into summer seminar and he is a Plebe 2025. He did do the summer STEM camp after Freshman year and the rowing camp after Junior year. Look into one of the sports camps to get him onto campus if you are able. I have heard many theories about the whys and wherefores of...

Sounds a bit like Captain Tuttle from M*A*S*H

My DS,2025, was a senior in high school last year and knee deep in the admission process. He was discussing his future plans with his friends. His teacher jumped into the conversation and told my son that he was going to hell if he killed someone while fighting for this country. She told him...

You last paragraph hits home with me. My DS said he was about 4 weeks into plebe summer, during a particularly rough week, when he realized that he would never live at home again. For some reason we had never talked about this before he left and it had not occurred to him. He said it took him...

I could not believe it when my DS told me he was waiting for his roommates so they could strip the floor :) Never have I ever thought I would hear those words out of my son's mouth. Mom got a big old giggle out of that one! My midsib goes to a college where freshmen dorms are suite style with...

Saturday's game is what college football is all about. On any given Saturday, an underdog can show up and come away with the win. We were cheering from home and knew the feeling in the stadium must have been electric. Navy football played such a great game. From the time the punt was blocked, it...

The is the reasoning per the White House Press Secretary: White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended the decision to oust Trump-appointed board members, saying Biden wants qualified individuals who align with his administration’s values to serve. "Values to serve"!!!!! What???? :mad:

DS is 7:00 on the 30th. We might as well get an early start on the festivities!! I don't know that any of us will sleep anyway.

Hello Experienced Parents and USNA alumni. I realize that there is very little that the plebes are allowed to have at school, at least until the end of the summer. But, is there anything that you had, or wished you had, that was a lifesaver? We are trying to decide on a graduation gift and the...

I live in Northwest Florida and I am unable to find a parents association in my area. Would it be beneficial to join the association nearest to me? Is that allowed or necessary? Some of the sites have good information and support. For other parents that do not have one, did you feel like you or...

My son has begun the medical waiver process. When he was young he would get Bronchitis. I believe it was a childhood ailment. This May it will be four years since he has had any problems. He was never considered to have asthma. He is a varsity cross-country runner and he has not had any issues...
