Hope everyone had a good visit with their plebes over the weekend, even with all of the hiccups at the beginning for Oscar company (my son's company was on quarantine due to a case of whooping cough, so we had to sign a waiver to take him off campus on Friday, and we met them on Ingram field instead of the T-Court). Heard only good things from our dude about his company-mates. Sounds as if he is making great friends and lifelong bonds already.
And, as I expected, it also sounds like our dude is one of the detailer "favorites" to ...... uh ...... assist ...... in his journey! He had quite a few stories about things they throw his way to help him with his military bearing and smartalic-ness. From bearing bears to detailers hiding out in his shower to bust them after lights out (4 of them at one time!) to having to write, and re-write, a poem about strings on shorts.
He did say that some of his classmates said to him that he made the summer more enjoyable and easier to get through. That's one of his best traits. He is a ham and jokester, but he will always have your back and help in whatever way possible.
Only downside for the weekend? He spent the bulk of his time with his girlfriend while at home, and so his mom didn't get to spend as much time with him as we would have liked. We're going to have to set a few more limits on time that his girlfriend can come over when he comes home for liberty. Or, she can just drive down to visit him in Annapolis when he doesn't come home on the weekends. We said she could come over the whole time, but it was Plebe PARENTS Weekend, not Plebe Girlfriend Weekend.
