CaptMJ, that is hysterical! At least the self-portrait artist got one thing right, your daughter probably will remember him, just not in the same way he would hope.
My son has wanted to attend USNA, and nowhere but USNA, all of his life due to advice from his bomber-pilot grandad. He did attend NASS last summer and LOVED it. Even though he has always believed that USNA was for him, NASS made him feel that he was "cut out" for USNA. He loved the activity level, the traditions, the classes and especially the mock sea trials. The motivation he received from NASS carried him, and his parents, through the long application process. Now, we are hoping he remembers NASS as he goes through Plebe Summer. (Of course, he also has to listen to the teasing from his older brother, who did Navy spec ops boot camp, telling him Plebe Summer is a cake walk! )
