I guarantee that if he was at all good the USNA coach will find him and try him out... equipment or not... But taking that stuff to I day can be a real drag since he will have to carry it... along with about 50 lbs of new issue stuff... it gets real hot on I day... And it can have a downside by advertising that he thinks he is really good... But you could send it along a few days or weeks later after he has had a chance to establish himself and can tell whether he will need it.

You are much better off sending it to him after Plebe Summer as he really will not have storage space to store it safely. Also, remember, the room he has for plebe summer will change at Brigade Reform when he'll be given another room in his permament company area. Suggest sending it to him during the academic year a couple of weeks before baseball tryouts start. if there are any preliminary tryouts during plebe summer, he will be given whatever equipment he needs. We sent my son his soccer cleats at the start of the academic year. However, instead of trying out for soccer, he tried out for Rugby and played Navy Rugby (a religion) for fours fast years.

Their likelyhood of making the team is persistance, a trait I find quite plentiful amongst midshipmen! Do they all make it ? No. Do all who are recruited make it? No. My son walked-on to play football in the spring of his plebe year. It looked pretty grim but he was invited back but played very little on the JV team as a 3rd class. It looked grim but worked hard and made the varsity squad last year and after spring is now #1 at his position. He will have to work very hard to keep this position.

Nick, Dan's roomie, had also heard that the coaches would let you rest in air conditioning and feed you great snacks. Dan decided what the heck, and they went to try out...Dan made the football team, and he played JV football his plebe year...he was most definitely not recruited, but is a pretty good athlete. He decided that he would never grow enough to start on Varsity, so he opted to play lightweight football his youngster year and loved it(you can't weigh more than 165 lbs). The beauty of the Academy is that no one is on an athletic scholarship and so they can try out and play any sporting team if they can make the roster. My advice to any plebe is to go for it....if they don't make a varsity team, there are also lots of club sports and intermurals. Teri Sweatman Tom'97 (Capt.

However, he ended up participating on another team (just during this injury period) that didn't pose a problem in rehabing the Plebe summer injury. From his experience and that of several of the offspring of our newly acquired USNA friends, the Academy seems to be a banquet table of opportunities. Many of the coaches, varsity and club, carefully watch those Plebes during Plebe Summer and actively recruit those with noticed abilities to join/try out for their teams. For many, its hard to choose between options. Some eventually choose the club route to allow more time for academics. For many I believe its really the first opportunity for them to make such decisions without significant parental involvment. Its really exciting to see these young adults evaluate and then venture out on his/her choosen path (sports, declared majors, military career options, etc.)! And often those paths come as a real shock to various members of their family...... Its all part of the exciting ride for all of us!

My firstie son, Darren, (Light Weight Crew), was recruited as a Plebe with no previous experience. He lettered in Cross Country and Track in high school and had never rowed in his life. He has been a member of the team all three years and accredits participation with the team as one of the most enjoyable aspects of his life on the Yard. The coaches are wonderful.

At this point it has not been updated. I just spoke with my son on the "Flirt" and they were just passing Ocean Beach. By the way one of the local newspapers had a picture of the "Flirt" leaving for Newport with a few mids on board-mine was one of them. Thanks to sponsor parents! Good luck to one and all!

He said that they are 14 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland and that they have completely lost their wind. They, along with many other boats, are just "floating"...without a breath of wind! The crew of Swift was especially disappointed because they had been first off the start for their wave and had made 14 knots down the bay! They had also reached the lighthouse in Norfolk first...as well as setting a new Navy record for that particular part of the course. There is even some talk that the race will have to be abandoned because they have to be at Marion, MA by Thursday in order to participate in the Marion-Bermuda race. The word is that they will make the call by 2:00 PM tomorrow. Then they will all have to motor up the coast to Massachusetts in order to make the start of the Bermuda race on Thursday. Too bad! I'll keep you posted if I get more news.

They have made good time and will be landing in Newport tonight. Although he hasn't seen any of the other boats since they left, there were about 60, they are quite proud that they have kept up with the "American Promise". Their current position 1700 EDT is 41 degrees 3 minutes North/ 71 degrees 46 minutes West. Your guess is as good as mine if they are at the beginning of the pack or the back, keep good thoughts! Spirits are high on the "Flirt" and tummys are full. They apparently did a lot of pre-cooking before leaving port and are eating well. That's my update for now, the net site doesn't seem to be keeping up with the progress but I keep checking it anyway. Take care, GO NAVY, GO FLIRT!!!!
