    Long Overdue Introduction

    The only SA admissions that I am familiar at all with is for USNA, but my advice is to show why you are unique. At least for USNA, it is not essential to have gone to Girls State or to be an athletic team captain. There are other Varsity leaders other than athletic, such as show choirs, band...

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

    Our DGD spent a lot of time at the beaches plus other fun places. I think she said she ate at the base much of the time. She was in San Diego and had a great time spending her own money.

    Anti-Affirmative Group Sues Naval Academy

    We also are very liberal: my husband and father are/were war vets. Our granddaughter is doing great at the Academy and is excited to serve. One thing I haven’t seen brought up in this discussion is how much effort do schools put into showcasing SA’s as an option for both college and a way to...

    All Service Academies Ball Questions

    We went to the Minnesota All Academy Ball this past winter with a family group with our Plebe. We all enjoyed it immensely, including our Plebe, who was initially embarrassed to be attached to such a large family group! The location, food, program, entertainment, band were all wonderful. I...

    SHAME SHAME on this person for doing this!! ( & request for rumor control)

    Congrats to your son! As a mom, I understand how you feel. When my daughter called me to say she was doing her first solo, I wanted to tell her « No, way to soon », but instead said you are ready and will do great. Then waited anxiously to hear that she was so excited and did do great!

    Navy Nuclear Power School

    Is anyone going to the Winter Concert next weekend? My DGD is an Assistant Stage Manager, which I understand is a big accomplishment for a Plebe. I would love to hear about it and am hoping DH and I can attend next year. I understand the Glee Club puts on spectacular events.
