All good info. But if your family cannot make those things happen, don’t worry or stress.It is definitely a good idea to arrive in Annapolis early in the week before I-Day. It gives you time to acclimate, explore, relax, and then begin to brace and prepare for what’s ahead. If your family is coming, go ahead and reserve a place to stay early (for I-Day and PPW). If your reporting alone, you will be permitted to stay in Bancroft before reporting on Thursday.
I’m a Covid mom who didn’t experience IDay, PPW etc. It wasn’t fun. Broke my heart in several ways when thinking about moments I had dared to envision. But—— we survived.
Not all appointees have circumstances that allow their families to travel and afford these experiences.
I’m also a granddaughter and daughter of graduates who received snail mail appointments and their parents never stepped a foot on the yard.
I love the yard. It’s a beautiful and spiritual place. Just don’t turn yourselves into pretzels to keep up with the Jones’ in terms of visits and expectations.
