Does anyone recall the tweet that brought a lot of unwanted attention to that plebe?
Understandable from proud parents I think the candidates need to be a bit more humble though lol!!I have to admit as a proud father whose son got his LOA in December and Appointment in January, my wife and I are very excited and we have to try to chill.
We are extremely proud of our son and to be part of the family who have gone through the same process. Social media (FB) has allowed us to connect to USNA Parents, a group for class of 2019 and a New England Parents group that is having a reception at the USS Constitution in Boston in June.
We are extremely grateful to be able to share in our son's success and are looking forward to actively participating anyway we can for all the men and women we will met on July 1st.
The point is that it is really easy to get caught up in the emotion. I even asked my son if it was OK if I purchased a new hat to wear around town trying not to make a big deal out of it.
Appreciate the advice, my son is cool and is playing it low key so nothing on social media.
I hope that the detailers don't take it out on him that his parents are a little crazy.

Oh my goodness! Look at the nomination letter posted by one of the individuals. The nomination letter from the Congressman's office states "Only a select few students apply for a nomination to the United States Naval Academy, and even fewer receive a nomination."Yep. HD pictures of nomination letters, appointments, etc. Some girl screenshotted her initial candidate email (... why? ) from June. More sad than funny, really. Same thing happened last year.
See for yourself.
