    Hotels for PPW

    We stayed at the Loews for both I-Day and PPW and found it very convenient. Also, regardless of where you stay, the Loews has a spa within the hotel. My son requested a massage during PPW. When I went down to pay, the waiting area had many Plebes doing the same thing. A nice splurge that he...

    Permit to Report

    Just wanted to concur with Positive Thinking's recommendation to get a passport now. They might need one for their first summer training and I am told it can be more complicated for a mid to do this from Annapolis, especially as they will not have a car. In the past several years, many...

    First Letters Home

    I got a letter from my son yesterday too. Was one whole page long. He was very positive... He said the detailers were tough, but fair. I never realized my son's handwriting was so terrible, or maybe he was just writing quickly.:rolleyes:

    computers for 2014

    I checked out the computer set up at Lenovo's website and it looks like I can upgrade this computer over the next 4 years. It's nice that they got DDR3 RAM so I can eventually double that to 8GB. The Socket type on the MoBo will support the Core-i7 and the video card (which isn't really great...

    Passport and immunization records

    My son was in a similar situation. Normally you can renew a valid passport thru the mail. However, since the passport in question was issued prior to the age of 16, the new passport must be applied for in person as if it were a first time issue. My son had a day off from school a couple of...
