Yep, never say goodbye. Say, “Until next time.”I have gotten more comfortable with the ‘see ‘ya laters’ bc they don’t last forever. With practice, I’ve grown to not dread ‘goodbye’.

@WolfPackGrunt My anxiety for my DS (Plebe) as Friday approaches is centered around finding a COVID test in the next few days and then on the logistics of travel given the spike in flight cancellations. Test sites are overwhelmed and shoe horning in a possible multi hour wait with the little time we get is making me anxious. I understand why USNA is requiring a test but tough when we struggled to even find booster shots during this break.
He got boosted right after Thanksgiving leave, so at least that's one less checklist item.

Not required as explained to me during our voyage into finding testing as well. BUT with a booster, an OTC test is acceptable. Without a booster, PCR is required. And rather difficult to find in our area.My son said the booster isn’t required. Is this new?
I do NOT believe it is required.My son said the booster isn’t required. Is this new?
But different testing methods apply, depending on different vax/booster/Covid positive status. Ask your mid for sure.I do NOT believe it is required.
My som confirmed he has to get the PCR.But different testing methods apply, depending on different vax/booster/Covid positive status. Ask your mid for sure.
Are the rules determined by company? My son was told he is able to use an at-home antigen test. Only if he has a booster. Booster shot needs to be prior to 1/4, I believe.My som confirmed he has to get the PCR.

I caught a Space A hop home from West Coast to East Coast, unplanned, to be with them for Thanksgiving. They weren’t home. The nerve!!! They had joined two of mom’s siblings visiting another 5 states away. I knew which neighbor had a key to the house. I ate Thanksgiving dinner with them too. I made stews and soups, labeled and froze them, re-stocked the pantry with treats, made a small turkey so they would have sliced turkey in the reefer upon their Sunday return, and cleared out the last of my old stuff from the storage room.OP, you are experiencing a typical "Empty Nest Syndrome." This syndrome gets worse when hormones change around 50s. It is what it is. It's part of life and there will be the end of the tunnel.
This is what will happen:
(Plebe year)
Me: Oh...no...goodbye...see you soon.....tears...
.

(Firstie year)
Me: Honey...where is he?
DW: Did he come to home this holiday season? I thought that his winter vacation was cancelled...I guess...
Me: Never mind....you might be right...I guess...
This is how parents will let go children gradually and naturally.
It had happened to my parents long time ago.
Imagine having a kid like that.I caught a Space A hop home from West Coast to East Coast, unplanned, to be with them for Thanksgiving. They weren’t home. The nerve!!!

I credit it all to my parents. They were “doers” for other people, driving elders to church and medical appointments, making extras of special dishes and dropping them off to those they called “shut-ins,” etc. What they had, they shared.Imagine having a kid like that.
My son would call a lawyer and ask if they would sue me on commission.
