I understand that with Covid a normal year at the academy is probably not going to go as planned. I am fully on board that my DS will be gone for a long time and I won't see him or even hear from him. For those that have DS/DD already at Kings Point how often do you receive pics? I see on Facebook the KP Photography and I love that but when do they usually take pics as a regiment? I know in the military we took pics at least once, sometimes twice a year, maybe after a promotion. I want to litter my walls with his 4 years at KP in imagery. Thanks for any info

@KamsDadQB1, Kings Point Photography and USMMA do an amazing job posting photographs--literally thousands of them! I laugh at how much we have been able to see of our son as compared to his siblings at traditional universities. Covid hasn't hampered the pace of pictures much except with the cancellation of so many games/club sports/etc which naturally limits opportunities.

You'll also get opportunities to have formal portraits each year as each Midshipman gets them, again, a completely different experience from a traditional university where my other kids never had a photograph nor wanted a yearbook. You will be amazed at the 'where's waldo' scenerios that go on. Be sure to follow Kings Point Photography, KP Athletics, USMMA Alumni, Parents & Friends, and I would suggest a new page, unaffiliated with other 'official' pages: Kings Point Parents. This will give you a lot of options to interact both 'officially' and unofficially. :)

During the course of this plebe year, we got the chance to buy his soccer picture/team picture and then also his "official" picture taken in white dress uniform. I don't remember getting any other offers to purchase any other pics though. KP Photography is a godsend during Indoc though, for sure, especially since you wont be able to talk to your plebe candidate for quite a while.

Just when I thought I had followed every possible page, there are more! Thank you! @EhzErz we have more pages to follow 😂.
 
When my DS started plebe summer we started to “collect” all the photos we found online. That was all pulled into a nice photo book we made him for Christmas this past year.

Since then it ebbs and flows. I think we have been lucky to catch pics of him in a lot of different situations and events. Everything from his formal portrait in November, a company group photo, them getting their naval reserve pins, sports events pictures, spirit missions, cookie cafe (another page to follow) and snow day fun.

Looking at photos on my phone - there are a lot there. And some times he even sends me pics directly. May have to make a rest of plebe year photo book next!

Thank you. The pic of him in those whites is definitely something I have to have!!
