Hello. Been some time since I've posted here. I have been able to communicate with my plebe a bit more and actually saw him for a week after trimester end. As a parent I thought I would be okay with just writing him letters and hoping to get a reply. During indoc we got ONE letter from him. So many things are predicated on your Company CO and XO. From what I gathered my plebe didn't get to check mail a lot once he got his box so he would receive things late. I'm so proud of him and his resilience. I will tell any potential applicant, BRUSH up on your Calc and Phys!! It is no joke. My plebe was pretty good in school but he struggled but was smart enough to go to his instructor's office hours. They got a bit more liberty than even I expected and it was easy to tell when that happened because his bank account looked like the gas tank in a 5 Liter Corvette with 2 Turbos!! All in all we are very happy with his choice to attend USMMA and can't wait to see him at Christmas break. For all of you applying, the process is long and can seem like it will never happen but it is worth it! Indoc 2022 awaits you #ProudMarinerDad
