Good to know. Thank you for describing the best process to update his file!!!

My DS is at USMA. As occurs with most cadet candidates, he had his wisdom teeth out the spring before Beast. I will spare the details but using the oral surgeon's term, he had a "negative reaction" to general anesthesia. When I mentioned my DS's future plans, the surgeon said, "his reaction to...

I agree. My DS managed to store skis, ski boots, poles, and multiple boxes of ramen noodles somewhere at WP. There certainly must be room for books!

I got my DS a skeletool, and he had no complaints. He is at CFT with it now. We also got him the Casio Men's Super Illuminator watch (about $25 on Amazon), and he loved it - but only for Beast not for the school year because he preferred his apple watch. He told us that he somehow lost the casio...

My DS is a 2025, and the PenFed situation was a big surprise to us last year. DS set up his USAA account prior to Rday, and he did it all online with no problem. Then, I started receiving emails after Rday from PenFed saying "thank you for joining," etc. I had no idea whether it was spam or not...

I was googling "plebe-parent weekend" tonight and this post came up, so I thought I thought that I'd comment now that I've been through a Family Weekend. The bottom line is that @prospective2019 was spot on with everything they said in this post. In order to really visit with our DS, we would...

Hire a proven tutor and take it as seriously as possible. Yes, it's expensive but much cheaper than college tuition. I hired this type of tutor for my DS, and he improved his ACT score by 6 points over 3 months. The tutor focused on teaching him the strategy and the discipline, and my DS added...

191/SJVA96/DS/No/03-Jun-21/Declined/VA/Congressional, Service Connected/Direct Agree with @flyguy_2025 completely - DS awoke this morning to shocking news of an appointment offer from USAFA. He accepted an offer to USMA some time ago and is 100% committed to it. Nonetheless, I am sharing this...

Thanks to all for your feedback - it is very helpful! As suspected, I was not referring to Plebe-Parent Weekend but to the weekend in the fall in which the entire family is invited. It's called "Family Weekend" in the parent handbook.

Does anyone know what happens during Family Weekend (in the fall)? I'm trying to figure out why we should visit that weekend over any other fall weekend as we have a conflict on Family Weekend and would rather visit another weekend. I can't find any information elsewhere about specific Family...

I agree with @TexasAggie204 - On the WP Class of 2025 Parents Facebook page yesterday, WP indicated that court shoes will be issued by WP after they arrive. For what it's worth, they also said to follow the Boot Memo rather than the very specific boot models that just came out with the packing...

Yes, you're right. I posted my DS' appointment last night but by the time the post was approved, someone else had posted. I'm new to making posts, so I am afraid to try to fix it for fear of making the problem worse.
