Anyone know from experience if USNA would reschedule tomorrow's Dedication Parade? I was planning on taking DS's Grandmother and possibly catching him for a photo as he heads to his Company 'Dining Out'. Unfortunately the weather looks awful with heavy rain & wind and a flood advisory.

DS (current Plebe) making the trip to Dublin with 4 buddies. DW and I were on the fence, but now think we'll do the trip as a 25th anniv gift to each other. The Packages seem way over priced. I was looking online at hotels over the weekend and I was wondering if anyone that's been to Dublin...

Very fortunate to be an easy 2:20hr ride from USNA and have DS home for Thanksgiving. After dropping DS off I always take a walk on the Yard before the drive home. Sunday it was rainy and miserable but warm. I'm always in awe of the place and boy it looked nice Sunday night. Thought I'd...

Anyone know the policy for Plebes getting liberty after Army-Navy game? We're a Philly family and have a big group attending the game hoping to see our Mid after the game at tailgate and possibly spending the night in town with us. I've been telling DS for 2 months to find out (of course Dad...

All, Remind your Mid especially the Plebes that after the home football games there is free dinner for all Mids at the NJ Parents Club and Free Dessert at the Southeastern PA Parents Club Tailgates. We're right by where they march into the stadium by Taylor Ave. Not sure about NJ, but at the...

Curious if results (times, heights, distances...) of the Plebe Track Meet Smoker are posted anywhere. Or better yet, video? After watching USA dominate at World Championship this past week I'm wanting more track & field :D ... I'd love to see how the plebe performances were especially with...

DW saw some pics posted of our DS Plebe leaving mass yesterday and we noticed he was not in the same 'I-Day' work whites uniform. He had dress black shoes on, a black sailor "tie" and his cover was not a 'Dixie Cup', but the traditional Midshipmen (officer) cover. Is there any meaning to these...

DS received NROTC full scholarship and also an appointment to USNA. As IDay for USNA is 6/30 and NROTC arrival at University sounds like it is late August can you keep your NROTC scholarship up to IDay as an emergency plan B? Just curious for his options.

Anyone have knowledge of when Class of 2026 I-Day info goes out? I found the '2021 I-Day parent & info booklet' and it looked like it was Tuesday 6/29 & Wed 6/30 last year? The USNA Academic Term 230 (Summer 2022 ) Calendar shows I-Day as Thursday June 30, 2022 this year. Wondering if it...

DS selected for CVW for Thurs-Sat in Nov. Wife and I going just stay after Thursday afternoon drop off and then attend parent info sessions on Friday and then football game Sat before we head home. Any recomended reasonable priced hotels or B&B's in walking distance to USNA ?

B&G officer coming to our house at 6:30pm later this week for interview with DS and to speak to wife and I. We were wondering what protocol is as far as offering any refreshments or beverages. He did advise bus. casual for attire but we were wondering if given the time of day if some light...

DS was advised as we are in a competitive district he should take ACT even with a 1530 SAT already. I'm not sure this would be helpful unless he crushes it. I fear it could even hurt him if it isn't a score at a level similar to his SAT. Thoughts?
