Hi, Hope everyone is doing well! Does anyone know whether the displays, such as the MH60 display out on HP coming up in later April, are open to the public? My DS indicated he has never seen a civilian at one (of course not at the ones where cell phones are prohibited and have special attendance...

My son is also finishing up PROTRAMID, aviation/SWO week this week. I'm actually quite disappointed for them- that PROTRAMID has been shortened by a week, but my complaining rightfully falls on deaf ears compared to the MIDs' experiences of not having PROTRAMID at all a couple years ago. I will...

TBH, based on my DS experience: I would not expect them to reach out to you (although they might), I would expect to initiate a call or online IM- that might get you somewhere.

Approx what date does block 3 begin, e.g. 3C west coast PROTRAMID?

My DS is on the USNA marathon club (aka "team")- this is not a varsity sport at USNA as it is at USMA. DS was going to do cross country (which is a varsity sport at USNA) but decided not to, then decided to do the marathon club. During PS for sports period he ran with the other mids that were...

My DS is class of '25, we are LDS (although not "active")- however, during plebe summer the LDS services on Sundays were a welcome respite each week. Thank you to your in-laws and the missionaries serving our SAs!

I'd also say that improved PA/PR could be had- a lot of people know that David Robinson was a great NBA player, some of those know he was nicknamed "The Admiral", very few of those actually know why. Versus a lot of people know that Pat Tillman (RIP) was an NFL player and was in the military- I...

I'd be good with it as long as they make a professional squad and still have to complete their military commitment (no buyouts) at sometime in the near future (barring medical injury disquals)- if they don't make the squad then they are right back into their active duty. I believe it is a BIG...

I cannot recall DS indicating when you might intentionally find yourself on your face etc, it'll be soon enough, but nonetheless you'll have a busy and physical day(s) running and lugging around your new "stuff"- you'll probably be so distracted you won't even notice a sore arm. That being said...

Most of the content on this site is arbitrary and driven mostly by parents, and a few alumni, who cares what attributes they decide to put in this table? Let the prospective mids (or their parent) decide what to put on this appointments thread, its meant for them. If one considers this a...

DS indicated that this was released as the final design today. I recognize that they aren't going to make 100% Mids happy, but did they forget some symbolism representing other communities?

For 2025? I believe the Alumni Association posted something about 2022 (unless I am missing something, which is possible):

Plebes no more!

The lack of situational awareness is killing me. ;) ;)

Heard the closing ceremony is 1800, and last physical evolution around 1600.

As previously mentioned, I would advise caution enlisting as a means of obtaining an appointment. I don't know the odds- but they may not be in your favor at all depending on the mission of your unit. If your goal is to serve as an enlisted sailor/marine/airman/soldier then that is very...

Would I be shocked if this is an April Fools joke - no. Would I be shocked if it's "real"- no. Do all military decisions end in positive or intended results - no. Do you have to trust they system and control what you can control- yes. etc etc etc

A shotgun could include a remix of midshipman across the 30 companies. A scramble/shuffle would take one class, such as the plebes '25, and move the whole company's plebes to another company. It is what it is, but it isn't helping establish company cultures- but maybe that is the intent if the...

Mid-dad here, I love architecture and I love the architecture on this campus. I also really enjoy strolling around during twilight hours- if in the morning then also with a good cup o joe.
