So glad I have had time on here, 6mos or so. It has made today soooo much easier. Scott said his goodbyes, and he was too early. Now he has to say goodbye again, too funny. We were laughing. What a HEALTHY reaction! Thank you...... All of you.

Things are going great. Yard is BREATHTAKING! Soooo ready to send him. He is really cranky. I assume he is antsy and just wants to get settled. Will make it easier to send the little fledging from the nest. Mama bird will write more when not tied to just the Blackberry.

jpjades....Try look at the glass half full rather than half empty. Just remember your emotions spill over to his out look. You all have many changes coming your way this next week. Just remember they Navy has been training and educating our young people for many years with great success. Your son would not have been selected to attend the academy if he wasn't in the top 2% of our nations young people.

This site is a great place to let your emotion out and get support, just remember you may not being saying anything to him about what you are feeling, just know that your emotions and body language do let him know what your are feeling.

Best of luck to all of you on your new cruise by the bay!

Their packages are openby the Plebe, but they must open them before the detailers.

Hi jplades. We leave on Sun from Atlanta. It DOES get easier, but I still cry. We found our Dec 24th that he was in, so I have had a few months of real blubbering. In that time, I have given Scott GREAT freedom. Wow what a change

All....You will more than likely want to rethink sending over the counter meds including vitamins and supplements. The detailers allow no med or over the counter meds, vitamins, aspirns or supplements during Plebe summer.


If you have not join USNA - net and read the parents hand book, you might want to think about joining. It was not around when our son went to USNA, we had to learn from other parents and by experience.

You may be making things harder for your children by putting them on the radar with the detailers. It doesn't take much to bring them to the attention of the details. The plebes just want to fly under the radar.

Check out the hand book, it is a wealth of information for new parents.

Good luck,
Jody

Thanks Julie and Catherine.

Scott too is enjoying his last few moments of freedom, and has a GF since April'09. She is a Jr, so it will be doublly hard that she is still in HS when he is off to college. Her dad is a USNA grad, so he knows the drill.

I KNOW he does not want to think about anything right now...A bit of denial, right before the deer in the headlights stage.

Thank God for N4M....
