@Twins4us, that my friend is the best looking pizza crust I ever saw! You need to get that pic over to the bacon thread!Like this...?
@Hopeful Mid 2024 If the bacon were cold, a minute or two under the broiler would handle that cheese and keep it from scorching...I- I've never seen something like that before. That looks like it would be better served wrapped up as a burrito rather than a pizza. Might look into that as I try to keep on a low carb diet. Also getting the cheese to melt well and not scorching the bacon might be an issue, maybe a blowtorch would be required? But no, I was thinking more of a traditional thin crust pizza with bacon bits and onions, mouth watering just thinking about it...
To piggyback on your hope and optimism, I wonder if NWP can't apply for a waiver or variance to let the school open. It is so small, and they seemed to have established that they have a plan for the kids coming in and maintaining a bubble for them. I read that this would need to be a parent and teacher supported application to make it fly (no pun intended - well kind of - lol). Just a thought that has been rattling around in my brain.I had a thought earlier today that perhaps CA gov's order might change at some point in the next few weeks (wishful thinking I'm sure). If so, maybe there will be an opportunity for these Falcon Scholars and future cadets to be together as a team at least for a short while. Alas, even it doesn't come to fruition, I will still be cheering for all of us parents and future cadets, knowing we have some of the finest young people preparing themselves to be leaders of our future Air and Space forces!
Never hurts to hope, it would be great if the State of California could see our unique situation and just let us go.To piggyback on your hope and optimism, I wonder if NWP can't apply for a waiver or variance to let the school open.

If you have any information on what we could do to make this happen, that'd be great! We're talking less than 70-80 kids total, isolated on a mountaintop, with no transportation to leave, they won't be participating in the "normal" dangerous college kid extra-curricular activities on the weekend and all steps seem to have been put in place to keep everyone safe. I sure wish they could go!To piggyback on your hope and optimism, I wonder if NWP can't apply for a waiver or variance to let the school open.

I’m starting to think that all of us have the same brain here . My parents and I have been saying the exact same thing about all of this. As for the waiver process, it could work, but the Durbecks would need to get going on it soon, as flight and hotels would have to be rebooked. But I would love to be able to go down to the Mountain. No matter what happens here however, we need to remember that everything happens for a reason, and that the man upstairs always has a plan.If you have any information on what we could do to make this happen, that'd be great!

I am not sure how to approach this. I guess someone needs to ask if Durbecks have considered this?If you have any information on what we could do to make this happen, that'd be great!

I am the mom of Hopeful Mid, I sent a message to Gov. Newsome's office over the weekend (haven't heard back) expressing our concern over NWP not being allowed to open. Our children are the future of the Air Force, Navy, etc...they were specifically selected for the FS and need the rigors of the prep school(s). I highly recommend that you voice your concerns using the link above, in your comments mention the Durbecks name, and contact information, with a request that Newsome and the Durbecks speak one on one.
Maybe we parents should be the force to be reckoned with...
@Plebe to be?, The effort in this situation is to be commended, I trust the Durbecks are doing everything they can to ensure our future cadets are properly prepared for an appointment to USAFA Class of 2025. I suspect they are on overload right now making plans and preparing to deliver the same quality program deserving of NWPs reputation albeit in a new format.https://govapps.gov.ca.gov/gov40mail/
