Wow! that is substantial.Email just sent.
Headline of this thread is misleading...the email DS read to me said to be PREPARED for updates. The email doesn’t say ‘all mids, don’t return’. He read it to me. More info to follow. They will be asked to take a survey. Then more to follow again I suspect.
Don’t add to the panic.
Exactly....+1. Let’s be responsible and not unnecessarily add to the growing panic. DD read the note to me. There was no clear and definitive declaration made, beyond “stand by for an update in the next six hours.”

My mids email says straight up not returning to Bancroft Fri, Sat or Sun. Go shelter in place, details in 6 hours
No --it says that Midshipman not in the Hall "should be prepared not to return to Bancroft Hall....." That is different than DO NOT RETURN.
Attention to detail is important in the military.
Not the first, or last time, that a military directive is not crystal clear...but here's a hint (and it applies to those asking questions about USNA application, PTR packets , etc), the military is usually pretty direct in its communications --you get what you get, don't try to interpret or read between the lines. Hold in place means exactly that ...don't start your travel back to the Hall until you get further direction.Maybe the military should be clearer. That was the first sentence.

My plebe is in Pennsylvania at a retreat and I would love to be able to bring him home. However, home is in California and unless he is told to stay away for a week or more, it's just not worth the $$$. Hopefully they will get a time frame.
I do not see the purpose of posting this. Our kids are getting the e-mails. We parents are not. Our kids will know what is going on. If we need to know what's going on, our kids will let us know. No reason at all to post any of this.Email hasn’t come yet ... apparently two more weeks home.
