I’ve been a member of SAF since January, and it’s been incredibly helpful during this journey. My DD is a plebe candidate for class of 2027. She chose USMMA over NROTC and NAPS waitlist. I have noticed that the USMMA thread is pretty dead compared to the other SA’s. I continue to read through the USNA forum because there are quite a few incredibly wise and witty people over there. I’ve seen the members support parents, Mids, and candidates repeatedly. They have definitely created a community, and I’d like to have that for USMMA as well. I know there are parent Facebook pages for each class, but those seem to be tightly controlled by the NPA, and the students have their own groups. However, this forum allows people to post with a certain amount of anonymity.
