Supes call tonight, cases are spiking, new covid variant is on the yard. AMA
How many with symptoms?
Doubt they'll get vaccinated anytime soon. They are pretty much the last priority in the DoD to get vaccinated. All young healthy people not about to deploy anytime soon. We still have ships deploying without the crews being vaccinated, so I don't see it coming anytime soon.
Hopefully that's true, and he can say that all he wants, but until it actually happens I wouldn't trust it too much. Like I said, they are pretty much the last priority right now. Them going on summer training isn't priority over vaccinating deploying units. Also my base has been saying we were going to be getting the vaccine any day now for about 1.5 months now and we still don't have anything scheduled. The ones we were supposedly going to get keep getting reprioritized to other units.From the Call, the supe said we should be getting them before graduation at the latest as we need them for summer trainings
@turtle7584 enjoyed the musical interlude on IG.
I know one mom who son is DOR’ing. Already all set to do so. Another still thinking about it. Have you seen/heard much about this going on? Also saw one on IG on Saturday. Is there a concern there could be a loss of good people from this?
My own says ‘Leadership is doing what they can to mitigate. It’s not their fault’. He is also happy about being able to sleep in now. Wake up 5 min’s before class (lemons and lemon aid!!). MAYBE not wear pants . Not sure if he was serious about that? But the point is, he is fine.
Y’all are rockstars...keep on hanging in there!! At least this will change things up a bit for the dark ages.
This is the viruses fault. Y’all are doing amazing, in a dorm confined space of 4K plus.
Actually this isnt quite true. The last line. They are finding this go around to have more illness. Mids ARE sick. There is suspicion this may be one of the variants, and it’s affecting them differently. Parents are sharing that their kids are having symptoms more than they seemed to before.USNA should just let all the mids hang out together next couple of weeks and get this behind them. Trying to keep it out is a losing battle and is making life miserable for the mids. This virus just doesn't affect these college kids.
I hear it from my Youngster - it’s tough. You will all get through this and you will be stronger for it. Tests of character come in all guises. For parents, this is the time to listen and be encouraging but to remind our mids that they have what it takes and be the men and women we raised them to be. All of us our proud of you.I know there is a lot of cynicism amongst us plebes but I believe we all aware that this is temporary. At least for me, Herndon, summer trainings, and new leadership has given me a lot to look forward to and that's what's keeping me going through the daily life. I personally don't know anyone DORing but there is a wide consensus among all classes, that if one were to DOR, they would be more than understanding. Overall, there is a lot of distrust in the current leadership and how they have handled things. But thank you for the motivation!

The only team that will be competing over the next two weeks is Mens Basketball. All of the other teams are on ROM. Apparently MBB was isolated enough to have missed this.My DS said iso is full (it’s near his company space). Gym is closed. PFT canceled. Some varsity teams may have been moved off the yard in order to continue to compete. My DS is a pretty even-keel guy who doesn’t ***** much but even he said things are pretty miserable. Sure hope they get it under control. No doubt they will.
From USNA statement, linked prior..The only team that will be competing over the next two weeks is Mens Basketball. All of the other teams are on ROM. Apparently MBB was isolated enough to have missed this.
