As you know and as Tom mentioned, our daughter attended the Academy and she graduated last June!

And if you didn't already know it, if you're like us you'll be baffled by acronyms for a while!
Don't miss I-Day. Do book your room TODAY for Plebe Parent Weekend in August. Do follow all packing guidelines to a "T" (they really have thought of everything), and remember, the graduation rate is near 90% because the Navy's selection process is _that_ good. So have faith she'll do just fine, and take advantage of every opportunity to visit the yard!

Thank you David.
We would not miss I-Day for sure. We already have our Hotel booked for I-Day and for Plebe Parents weekend. My wife has been Johnny on the spot with all of that. She is also very active on the forums too.
Yes, the acronyms make my head swim for sure.
Congratulations to your daughter.
