How to explore USNA as possibility

[momofmod]

I'm throwing a negative in here and I don't want to sound judgmental BUT shouldn't the child interested in an academy be the one doing the digging? My son SCHOOLED me big time. He knew as much as he could possibly know as an outsider. The crew camp will be fun and she will get to talk to Mids but it is in no way an indicator of life at the academy. My two cents. Sorry to be negative.

True, but in grade 9 they might not be aware of what they want to dig into yet. No harm in exposing them to different opportunities and possibilities so that by grade 10 or 11 they have a better sense of what is is they want to put their own energy into. At least that's my thought when remembering back a few years

I read the original post as she's been interested a few years. Just assumed she wasn't taking the lead so to speak. I'm tapping out on this. Don't want to argue or make this dad feel bad. GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

My daughter has had me taking her to look at schools since she was in 7th grade, I’d prefer her to ease up.
I’m the one who’s unsure so I’m doing the digging.
