    Roller coaster I: Get You (The Parents) Through Plebe Year - Class of ‘27 🎢

    I think so, especially if you are close. Came down the night before & grabbed a late dinner in town. In morning, we arrived 45 mins before and could see everything. Hopefully it isn't too long :cool: . I moved around a couple times to get different view and pictures. DW & I found it fun and...

    USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

    As Urkillingmesmallz posted above, I'd not look into or make any assumptions based on appointments posted this year or in past years here on the SA Fourm. In general, it is a very small number of the overall appointments that are posted here. There could be 10 appointments posted in the coming...

    Roller coaster I: Get You (The Parents) Through Plebe Year - Class of ‘27 🎢

    Yes, she should be able to get out esp as a plebe. USNA realizes it's a long haul from I-Day to start of Summer training for Plebes. Same happened to my DS (fully booked all 3 training blocks) , he needed and wanted a summer leave break and was able to swap out of Block 1 MAGTF last summer and...

    Football Tickets for MIDS Family

    Last yr for ND game, M&T had a nice area around Camden Yards with bars and restraunts The I hit with friends the night before and before the game. Never made it to Harbor area, but didn't sound like it was walkable. Leaving was indeed an adventure as somehow after following signs to 95N I...

    Football Tickets for MIDS Family

    Absolutely! It is a perfect spot, almost equal distance between both USMA & USNA. MIDNs have easy post-game access (5 min subway ride from stadium to down town) to all the parties, bars, restaurants, and holiday events downtown Philly has to offer. My MID and friends were able to hit several...

    Football Tickets for MIDS Family

    Mids have no options for regular season tkt that I am aware of. They typically get an option to purchase 4 Army-Navy tkts for family. My MIDN did that last year for us. This is my 3rd yr with season tkts. Every year there are changes to the allotment for Army-Navy. You can easily get tkts...

    Naval academy traditions

    As many have stated noon meal formation (loved by parents and tourists, not enjoyed by MIDNs), march on at all home football games, singing Blue & Gold after all sporting events, parades, morning and evening colors.... When visiting USNA for DS CVW, DW and I were just walking around the yard...

    USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

    Yes, it also counts as a preliminary application as well. Great opportunity, but no prob if you don't go. It gives a 'taste' of what Plebe summer will be like. DS was a detailer for one of the NASS weeks last summer.

    USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

    Nah, I'd not sweat that. Honestly skipping 'Virtual' was prob a good idea. DS, while he was going through process did NASS & (AIM for USCGA) both virtual in 21' and it was not great. Got some good info and contacts, but wasn't like real thing.
