    The 1 percent

    Apologies for the length of this message. I called it the 1 percent because I think someone estimated the other day that around 1 percent of candidates don’t make it through indoc… We dropped our son off at indoc. He went in with a huge smile on his face, proud of getting to this point and...

    Shoe Color

    I would have loved an Amazon list! I guess models may change too often for that. I have my fingers crossed that everything we bought is fine. And, if not, hopefully my son is used to my yelling at him and can take whatever may come his way over his wardrobe selections.

    Shoe Color

    Many of the incoming students have had trouble finding good, 100 percent white running shoes. We’ve all been posting about it on the parent Facebook page for weeks lol. My son’s are predominantly white, but have a few accent colors. They are the best for his feet, per the running store we...

    Graduation Speaker

    If you don’t pass, you never graduate? Or you stay a fifth and final year? We were talking about this just the other day and wondering the implication. 70 of 88, yikes!

    Asking the experts

    Asking the experts

    Not sure about the shirts but we are going to buy our son all white, standard Hanes or Fruit of the Loom probably. These are just meant to be undershirts, not casual wear. The only shorts you need to bring are the ones you wear in, unless of course you choose to wear pants in. My son is going...

    Letter from Graduating 1/C Midshipman

    Thank you for sharing this, I look forward to showing it to my son. Because the challenges associated with life at KP are often mentioned, the amazing and diverse opportunity KP offers can be forgotten. This is a wonderful reminder.

    I believe we had the same question and just left it blank, figuring they can best complete that field once assigned.

    Who Is Still Waiting?

    I believe I heard on last night’s parents call that admissions is saying they have around 200 accepted offers. So, room for about 50 more. I’m not sure how many offers they are waiting to hear back from vs offers they are still needing to make.
