We were on the yard this morning and heard they were transferring command. Based on the VIP activity level we saw, which was extreme, could that be? Has anyone heard confirmation of this?

My son is running XC and they started practice 7/10 during the sports period.

Exactly! 301 with McConville’s retirement from the Army yesterday.

Unfortunately, that was my son's experience last year. It all settled out, but it was frustrating for him. Advice from a family member who served, “hurry up and wait.” Best of luck to your son! It’s an amazing thing to be a part of, for both the candidate and the parent. Truly there is a Navy...

This is 100% accurate, all aspects. My son's experience with USMA was WAY better, but he will lay his head down in Bancroft Hall tonight because he’s fully invested in Go Navy, Beat Army!

Does anyone know how to handle lunch “access” to King Hall Friday of PPW?

We also picked a spot on the grass and son was aware where to meet us after the oath. Dropped off a small cooler in the morning prior to his report time with cold drink and a couple snacks, which he barely got down. I think this is highly Plebe dependent (i.e. nerves, appetite, etc.).

I hear that, a lot. My son attended 2 STEM camps and was admitted to NASS last year. So I’d say go for it!

This helps, facing this with our son.

More curious than anything, but… Is there a final email or letter coming with PTR information (i.e. Company #, mailing address, etc.)?

My memory from last year was that the guidance counselor had to sign off on the extra curriculars my son listed. Good luck!

No MD, but my son in OH visited our local police station with the form and an addressed envelope w/ Stamp. They basically did it while he was there.

It’s on the USNA alumni association page, but you have to create an account first.

Iron Rooster is good and reasonably priced

Check out StudyPoint. My son (‘27) had a great experience, exceptional result on his first attempt, AND worked with a USNA grad as his tutor!

I’m with you, my son is pretty confused by this aspect of the PTR process.

I’m sorry, but keep him focused forward. He can go for hikes in the flatirons and clear his mind. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but if he owns his own path he won’t go wrong, no doubt!

I know this to be 100% true, my son who will be in the class of ‘27 had a perfect 36, 1 attempt, taken in the 2nd half of his sophomore year of HS. Not boastful, but clearly a good candidate because he gained an appointment. But… No LOA. My advice is just be the best well rounded candidate you...

That’s a different book, but I loaded the link. Amazing story!

Different book, but captures an amazing true story and the grit of rowers… Check this out! https://a.co/d/9loYuT4
