Is there a list that shows where all midshipmen are headed, not only SWO?

Reminds me of police academy days: one week you're leading, the next you're fired. Makes for good evaluation/feedback of the whole class when placed in those roles/assignments regarding leadership ability and style as well as aids in cross-training and solid overview/big picture understanding of...

@Usnavy2019, thank you for the detailed explanation. Positional authority (or opportunities for responsibility/leadership) was what I was aiming at. BTW, I'm just a parent who's trying to understand the inner workings as a non-military person. So, thank you! It was what I was looking for.

Within the Brigade, how does a midshipman earn a promotion? For example, will some 4C's outrank others? Or, do only 1C's have some of the ranks? Does the criteria begin to be measured during Plebe Summer?

80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald is a book with some good plans on how to improve overall mileage and speed. It endorses 80% low intensity 20% high intensity. You can skip some of the beginning if you don't need to know the "why" of the plan. There is also a website: 80/20 Running

Well, hopefully not "defiantly." ;)

True about the due date. Although, in DS' case, one counselor dragged her feet until the USNA deadline -the principal had to nudge her along - and caused DS to miss some other college deadlines, because he asked (in my opinion) for evals in the fall. Whether that was COVID- related on her part...

Here is page 2 of the "Patient Registration Form" usma_2025 has organized as I.2.c. DS asked because he noticed the bottom of the form read "continued on back." But there was no "back" that he could find.

Top form will be reviewed by someone at USNA, I presume. Bottom form date of birth format should be standard MMDDYYYY. Ex. 01/01/2021. Page 2 is instructions, if you're referring to form DD3111. Page 2 for the other form NHCLA 6150/24 concerns insurance. It also explains that the FMP (Family...

DS’ portal notified him today that he was not a recipient of an NROTC scholarship. However, he has options: AFROTC type 7, USCGA, and USNA. The big reveal will be tomorrow. Can’t wait! Feels like Christmas. One final note to others is to get those applications in asap and give your...

Great username/handle, btw. Very funny.

With the "written in jello" rubric, I was simply curious. I agree that parents' weekend is the one I want to be at if I could only pick one. But, who wouldn't hold out hope for a chance to be at both? ;)

With the recent changes in the CDC guidelines and encouragement from POTUS for outdoor events, is there any chance USNA will allow parents on I-Day , even though the PTR paperwork states drop-off only?

I would have your kiddo reach out to the unit of the university he/she will attend to help with that. The university will also assist. Facebook also has an RPI parents page in addition to the unit's page where your midshipman can make inquiries.

Thanks for that information. It's what I had hoped to hear!

DS received an appointment for USCGA as an EE major (ME was initial choice). Just wondering how many successfully stay in EE (retention/attrition), or at least as an engineering major, and what degree of help they can expect to receive to progress in the major (DS will ask for help if needed and...

I have four kiddos and three of them have worked through the online Princeton Review SAT/ACT programs (I think any of the competing platforms work just as well). They're not cheap, but doable. They went from the mid-1300s to 1540 and 1500 in nine months. We did not use the premium/platinum...

Almost everything was submitted in December. But the last pieces (some teacher recs and the HS counselor portion) were uploaded by February 22. DoDMERB was done in November followed by a technical DQ for the acne medicine until requisite paperwork from the doc was submitted to DoDMERB clearing...
