DS 2015 is sailing and going to be a Waterfront Trainer so coming home during the brief summer appears to be a no-go. Looking at the first Regimental Calendar available I see classes resume after Labor Day on Wednesday September 5th. Soooooo, who thinks that means Tuesday can be a travel day...

Hi all, looking for a mom who wrote a great piece on the Roller coaster ride of being a service academy parent. This mom has a kid (aka kid#1) at USNA and a kid ( aka kid#2) at USCGA. It is a great little post or article that really captures the life of a mom and, well to be honest, her...

I am planning a trip to KP to visit possibly in May (DS not coming home for spring break). I would like to purchase my tickets soon. I selected a weekend in May but now notice the Reg. Calendar has a Field Inspection scheduled for that Saturday. What is it? Should I try for another weekend? I...

Can we get post number 116 and after from the CO gas thread (USMMA) moved to a new thread? This is evolving in to an interesting discussion ( especially the last post with letter from the 2009 grad) and would like to see it not buried in the CO thread. Thanks in advance, Lynpar I never...

I imagine a Swim Parent will be along soon but I want to start the thread congratulating the team. Last weekend the Mens team won the Landmark Conference Meet. The Women's team swam a commendable third. During that meet an Academy record, pool record, meet record and a conference record was...

Plebe parents do not miss Acceptance /Parents weekend if at all possible :check. Been there done that, it was great! But what advice have all you more experienced parents for the next years. In early September DS should be a 3rd class and an "A" spliter. How much chance is there DS will get...

Yesterday DS 2015 got to come home for his first visit. I am not the most stoic of Moms so I was a little giddy and whimpery ( i guess not really a word but describes it best) while waiting for him to walk down the concourse clad in his gorgeous dark uniform carrying his cover. When he greeted...

I have read many times on these boards the KP family takes care of the M/N and PC's. Not even two months in and we now have first hand experience with this. My DS is with three other PC's at home of a relative of one of the boys near White Plains, NY. I believe DS said the boys great uncle (...
