While in DTA for a business dinner last night with colleagues at the Iron Rooster (of course), I told them to keep an eye out for family units walking around with a teenager looking a bit deer-in-headlights, possibly sporting some USNA gear. Easy to spot and increasing in number! Colleagues were intrigued by I-Day, all things Navy, and enjoyed their after-dinner 25 cent windshield tour of the Yard. The tents were going up on Hospital Point, and all the signs were there about the arrival of another class.
Colleagues were also amazed by the bond that develops among SA classmates, stronger than "regular college." DH recounted that on 6 June every year, his I-Day anniversary, he and over 60 classmates in the area gather at the Columbarium to toast departed classmates and share memories. And they are properly equipped to toast...
Best of luck to Plebes To Be and families, and please share your experiences. You'll have questions and concerns, quite possibly, but the grad family on here will have great insights for you.
Our 1/c sponsor daughter detailer is READY! Stocked up on gel inserts and throat lozenges. Bwah-ha-ha.
