Chatted with DS yesterday. He got his summer worked out - but of course Semper Gumby. 0 block detailer school, 1st block surface cruise (but 1/C), 2nd block internship, 3rd block summer regimental detailer (also not the usual 3rd to 2nd class spot I think). I was wondering if this means that...

My DS is doing so many things I feel like I don't hear much. He has 2 activities that are so close to each other next weekend that he will be taken by special car between them for his MO. I'm still waiting to find out about his summer. He had so many great opportunities that he got - but who...

My DS told us that he is going to be a detailer - but that information is very new so his summer blocks are changing. He has an internship to do research, detailing, and cruise. I have a feeling when things get figured out, we will be lucky to see him this summer. I agree with the parents...

Now that the Navy football schedule is out, when do you think 2C Parents Weekend will be?

I love his expression in his formal portrait. It looks a bit deer in the headlights. I wonder if this is his normal "every day" expression? I read his bio - very distinguished and has lots of experience! Wow! I know many mids are impressed.

My DS is really looking forward to spring break because the Glee Club is traveling to Japan for it! I won't see him but my younger DS is going to be on checking colleges out in New England area. He has now decided to apply to USNA (yikes, a potential 2nd kid there!) I hope that info comes out...

I'm bumping our youngster's thread. Sorry that I used the old one. I've seen lots of pictures of the snow, snow people/MIDN, etc. Most recent picture I saw was my DS company doing morning workout a few days ago, the company remembering Mason Halsey, the MIDN who recently passed away...

I can totally relate!:lolatyou:

DS just found out he got an internship this summer. Some kind of STEM research. He is looking forward to it. He also hopes that he can be a detailer this summer. Don't know if he has a company billet. He seems to think he can just show up to help with PT if he isn't given one? I don't know...

14th company. Cobras

A roller coaster for sure! And hang in there parent! It is a crazy ride from afar as well!

Got a "rare" call from DS last night. I was happy because I already miss him. Reason for the call is that his company was just informed that they are the "color company". He is really happy about that. He helped make sure that plebes this past fall could all pass the PRT - (I think that was...

Just read this heartbreaking news from the Naval Academy. Prayers lifted for the Brigade, his family and friends. Midshipman First Class (senior) Mason Halsey, 22, of Gulfport, Miss., died Monday morning while at home on holiday leave. The circumstances surrounding his death are currently...

I heard that they recorded it last year and after editing - should be shown on TV this year (public channels) around the US. Anyone have more info on this?

When my DS went through PROTRAMID, he loved the subs due to that teamwork. He found that people were much more interested in working with everyone - all did their job - but he felt there was a real community on the sub. It will be interesting to see what he goes for when it is time to turn in...

Mother B is always open. Some students spend the breaks there for differing reasons. In terms of finding info, the website is where I look other than getting it from my DS or here. :rolleyes2:

Mine just got back from tour with Glee Club in MN. Had a good time - but again, is "really busy" and lots of work. Not very talkative! Sounds a bit like he is in the middle or continuing the "grind".

Yeah, mine sounded so happy about it (not). I think knowing this at 12 weeks is tough for them. Talk about timing! :hammer:

Do you know if they are going to shotgun the whole brigade over the summer?

Just heard that they the entire brigade will be shot gunned next year. :zip:And they will be creating 6 more companies to a total of 36. Does anyone know why? :wow: Anyone else heard this gouge?
