INDOC - Zero Day

My son told me that the Rugby club was a good place for plebes to 'lift the safeties' and bleed off some steam.. @cmakin I seem to remember you said you were a KP rugger; right?
Yeah, but I didn't discover the joys of rugby until the second half of plebe year. I started on the sailing team, thinking that being out on the water would be relaxing, like anytime I sailed before I got to KP. The regimental stuff was relaxing, but it was taking up a bit more time than I expected. I did finish the season, but once rugby started up in the late winter. . . I was hooked. And, although my playing days are well behind me, it started a life long love affair with the game. Now that we have professional rugby, I am a season ticket holder for our local team. . but, as usual, I digress. . . .
 
This makes me happy. I don’t have a kiddo at the Merchant Marine Academy, but your enthusiasm and positivity are catching and a great way to start your son’s journey. Congrats, Dad!
Thank you. KP has me hooked. My DS is an athlete and I will get to see him Parents Weekend. Whether he plays in the game or not is irrelevant. I want to see how many friends he introduces me to!!

I'm so happy you guys get to have some normalcy and experience it all. I am looking forward to my 1st trip to USNA since our DS joined last summer. Enjoy your parent weekend!

I hope that I can meet you at parent's weekend. But I am not sure if I'll be going to the gridiron football game because hopefully I'll be attending the USMMA football (what some call soccer) match at Old Westbury. :biglaugh:

If you make it please try to find me. Just listen for the loudest mouth in the stands. I will post again as the time approaches

HAHA...."the loudest mouth in the stands." That's going to be me at the soccer match. Lol. Although the older my son got, the quieter I got - well, for the most part anyway. I think I saw a picture of you with your son at Indoc Day 0, so I'll definitely try to look for you around the Academy during parents weekend, so hopefully that will work out.
