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

    Block 0-NAAA (whatever that it is), Block 1- Stem Detail, Block 2H-PROTRAMID San Diego, Block 3-MAGTF WEST, which she wasn't supposed to get, so she's trying to get out of it. I'm not sure if that's possible.

    AMEX PLAT

    My midshipman is authorized on one of my cards. Based on her DoorDash purchases, she is building her credit score rapidly.

    Portal updated to turned down

    I don't disagree with you, but I would add that there are lot of great kids from all over (I realize you weren't trying to imply only TN). My plebe has made friends with midshipmen, male and female, from Georgia, Florida, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Maine. I've met them...

    I-Day Prep Guide???

    My daughter ran a lot for all her sports in HS. We made sure she had good, well-fitted shoes recommended by a local running store. She ended up using what was issued. LOL.

    I-Day Prep Guide???

    +4 on this ^^^^ She took 4 and asked more to be sent. They get pretty grungy from overuse.

    USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

    She is doing you a favor...mine never coughed it up either. Heck, I didn't even bother asking. With my obsessiveness I would have brought the site down. It's all for the best, she showed me the portal one and only time to reveal the appointment notification. Doesn't get much better than that.

    What's the betting line on who is checking more? Actual candidates or parents with candidates log in credentials?

    Commissioning Week 2024 schedule is out ⚓️

    It's already flying by for my c/o '27, I can't imagine what it's been like for you. Other than trying to take it all in, I'd welcome tips/recommendations from the senior members on "don't miss" opportunities.

    Hangout: USNA Induction Day / I-Day Class of 2028: Thursday 27 June 2024

    This, by far, was the most difficult document to get fulfilled for our c/o '27. Our county required it be faxed in. That was an interesting conversation with an 18 year old explaining a fax and the need to go to a UPS store. She ended up faxing 2 or 3 times and never received confirmation of...

    Separation from Naval Academy

    I can't offer any advice. I just feel for your son and your family. I hope it works out.

    Annapolis Questions

    Not to dispute your experience, but our c/o 2027 paper passes weren't available until PPW. I picked them at a white tent near Gate 1 and the visitor center. I went in a few weeks later to get the DBIDS card.

    New Navy Regs…Will this apply at USNA?

    Heck, I subconsciously keep my hands out of my pockets when I'm on the Yard and I never served!

    USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

    As I learned here, every MOC has control over how they manage the nomination process. I've posted this previously. In our case, I (Dad) received the call from MOC. U.S. Capitol flashed on my cell and I picked up immediately. MOC was highly complimentary and was honored to submit the...

    USNA Visit Question

    I replied a bit in jest. BWI is not in Baltimore, but about 20 minutes south of the city. Snow ball stands traditionally open on Memorial Weekend. It's very much a warm/hot weather treat. I'd head to the Yard and soak it all in. Highly recommend the museum and guided tour.

    USNA Visit Question

    Instead of the recommendations from my esteemed colleagues above, come up to Baltimore and go to a snow ball stand. Try one with marshmallow cream. I recommend Skylight, Tutti Frutti, and Black Cherry flavors. :)

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

    I was able to take my plebe to the Alley Restaurant last Thursday plus 2 other plebes from her company. I'm not sure if their parents are on here, but they should pat themselves on the back. Very grateful boys who appreciated the food. They were polite, inquisitive, and actually asked...
