Greetings, everyone. DS was lucky enough to receive an offer of appointment to USNA.
I am a checklist guy. I compile checklists for every task and actually compiled some for the application process. Now that he has an appointment, I am compiling another one, and I don't know where to start. DW and I are total SA and military novices. The first couple items are plane tickets and hotel rooms for Plebe Summer and Plebe Parent Weekend. I have also seen something about getting him a passport.
Would any of you mind mentioning what else we need to be considering preliminarily as I-Day fast approaches? If there is another thread or website I need to reference, please let me know. I don't want to hijack the forum if there is somewhere else I can go. The Plebe Summer sticky was helpful, but it was advice as to how to handle the rigors of those first couple months. I realize there will be instructions in his permit to report packet and that when he reports, he only needs the bare essentials. I'm just worried DW and I will fail to consider items so obvious to everyone else.
Thanks in advance.
