I fear that I may use the wrong terminology, but am ready to learn and make many new friendships. My son, C2C Michael Deaver has completed his first two years at the Air Force Academy. He will be arriving in Annapolis Aug. 6 to begin his fall semester as an exchange student. Mike is definitely looking forward to this opportunity. Currently, he has completed CST, soaring, jump, and is now up in Alaska at Elmendorf AFB doing OPS. He'll be reporting back to CO on Thursday to spend the third summer session as a student training advisor. Basically what he will be doing is advising and helping with the classroom teaching before the cadets in survival training go out. We live in Idaho between the two small towns of Payette and Weiser on the Idaho Oregon border about an hour west of Boise. Best of luck to all our cadets/midshipmen as the new academic semester starts in August.

Congratulations on putting together some terrific information! Can you please incorporate the enclosed message wherever you think it is most appropriate? I'd really like to get the word out about establishment of a listserver for the USNA parents to as many Navy parents as possible! Best regards, Dolf ---------- SUBJ: Information on Subscription to the USNA Parent's Listserver Welcome Prospective Member of the USNA Parents Net, With the assistance of WP-ORG, the parents of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen now have an automatic way to transfer information over internet! The USNA-NET is a listserver which automatically stores and forwards messages of interest. It is primarily intended for the parents of midshipmen although others with an interest in NAVY such as grads and USNA staff are also welcome. A mission statement for the USNA-NET is as follows: MISSION STATEMENT ================= 1. Quickly and inexpensively share information about Navy parenting between members of the list. 2. Provide a forum to exchange ideas, tips, opinions, and views on the Navy parenting experience. 3. Distribute relevant Navy news to members in a timely fashion. Operation is incredibly simple. Your short message to an internet address in Austin is replied to by a computer there which automatically re- transmits the message to all of the other members. There are some restrictions on the types of material that can be sent but none which hampers full operation within the constraints presented in the Mission Statement. In the future, a storage capability will be added to provide static information on request such as schedules for events, comments from prior years attendees, and virtually anything which can be sent as text. USNA-NET has just started in June, 1998 but the programs it uses have been refined for four years with the West Point parents. Since the listserver is sponsored, there is no expense to you except that for sending and receiving internet messages. Most internet access providers have unlimited or generous minimum monthly allowances so, except for a brief phone call, the service is totally free. Any number of parents may sign up for membership. The only requirements are as follows: 1. You have some connection with USNA, i.e. are either a parent, graduate, or staff member. 2. You agree to operate within Operating Rules which amplify the Mission Statement above. For more information, send your questions to the list manager, Dolf Beil, at: dolfnjudy@aol.com You can join USNA-NET by sending the following requested information: Name Street Address City, State, Zip Telephone Number Parent Club Affiliation (if any) Midshipman's Name & Year of Graduation Dolf Beil List Manager *** USNA-NET post by: BEIL Dolf&Judy 98 DJ _________________________________________________________________ Need someone for a job?

We're new to this list and want to introduce ourselves. We're Jeff and Sam from Boring, OR. Our Midshipman is Troy, Class of '02. We thought we were going to have a new cadet up until the very end of April, but Troy accepted his USNA appointment instead. Since Dec. we've been following the WP plebe- net very closely and had so much figured out! Then all of a sudden we needed to switch gears and try to familiarize ourselves with the workings of a new Academy. While a lot is the same, a lot is also very different. But one thing is certain--it's so awesome to have a network of friends who support you and intimately understand what emotional roller coasters we're all riding. We look forward to helping in any way we can and hopefully meeting a lot of you PPW. We were unable to attend I-Day for a number of reasons, and would love to hear the personal accounts from any of you who were there. Please e-mail direct if you've already posted them on the list. We haven't had a phone call yet, but received letters written 7/4 and 7/9. No comments as to whether he's received any of our mail. We got his address through an officer in our Parents Club of OR 7/6 (blessings to have friends in high places ! He'd already been there a week but we've sent him notes and cards daily since. He is a caller type, so I'm thinking he probably hasn't been allowed to call. A friend of his from a different company has called home at least 4 times now. His first letter was really encouraging, but things are catching up with him by his second. The heat's on! He's lost 6 lbs. in a week, and really doesn't have any to spare. Said he's hungry all the time and to send Power Bars. They're on the way! He saw a girl pass out in drill on Wed. and said that was weird. Although that's not uncommon, it was the first time he'd seen it happen. About the mail, does anyone know how big their boxes are? During plebe summer do they pick up their mail privately or is it delivered to them in a group situation or in their rooms? Are care packages delivered by Squad leaders or picked up at their boxes? Do they open them in front of leaders? I assume they share what they receive - is that with the whole squad, or just their roomies?

Dear Sam and Jeff Welcome aboard!!! I'm going to let other members of '02 handle your questions about I-Day and care packages because the rules vary from year to year. When our Mid was a Plebe, his mail was delivered, but now, I think mail is pick up from a box. Generally speaking, no phone calls are permitted for two to three weeks. First phone calls are scheduled for this weekend. Phone calls that are allowed before that are usually from unhappy Plebes, so no news is good news. I think during the summer, there is only time to share goodies with roommates, but during the rest of the year, anyone is welcome. The Academy has asked that you supply a tightly sealed container for storing goodies to cut down on uninvited guests to Bancroft and that for the summer, you send nutritious items, reserving the good stuff (sweets and their favorite junk food) until the academic year begins.

Our plebe (Platoon 1) sent us a form letter indicating that he would call between 8:45 and 9:30 on July 18. We assume that means A.M. Eastern Daylight time - so since we are in California we will be up early that day. We just received our packet for Plebe-Parent Weekend. I have a couple of questions - 1. To sail - must there be two "B" qualified midshipmen in the sailboat, or can a parent be "qualified"? If parents can be "qualified" how does one do it? Do you have to take a swim test or does the navy take your word that you can swim 100 yds? 2. What type of ID does one need to shop at the mid store in Bancroft Hall? Thanks for your help.

I wanted her to go to Sick Bay, but she said everyone had it. I checked with my pharmacist, and he was a formerly in the Navy, He said that typically when you first get together as a group from so many areas of the country, you are exposed to a bunch of "germs"....your body takes care of the germs you normally are exposed to at home but is intoduced to all these other ones....anyway treating it with antibiotics isn't effective and is something they just have to work through on their own. I think the stress of Plebe Summer also contributes...We encouraged our daughter to TRY and get rest, and drink lots of fluids. She still had it when we went out for Parent Weekend and as I recall when we got back home we didn't feel too good..it's like the flu or a bad cold. She wasn't sick all last year so it's something I think your body gets used to. You can always suggest having your plebe go down to sick bay to check it out. Especially if the symptoms persist or get worse (i.e. ear or throat infection, fever etc.) They would be able to treat an infection with antibiotics but may be hesistant to treat symtoms of cold or flu.

We got a postcard of Baltimore from our son this week that indicated the 3 hr time frame he would be calling us. It was received 20 min. in to the time window. It was a timed 5 min. call with a quick goodbye before we knew it.....seemed like under a minute. :( He said he's doing fine, it's different than he expected??, it's not as physical as he expected, one boy has dropped out of his squad already who had only received his appointment 2 days before I-Day, Troy likes it, doesn't take the yelling seriously (to heart), said their Co. is probably about in the middle as far as performance, likes his Texas and Maryland roommates, they're on the 2nd floor, mail box is only about 4" square (nicer to receive things that fit in there), his squad doesn't have to open their care packages in front of the squad leader (but some squads do), they don't get mail every day (but will get some today), sometimes they pick up their own, sometimes it's delivered, recommends Co. name/Platoon # be included in address for ease of delivery, everybody shares their food/care pkgs, they open them quick & put them away to avoid attention, wanted a drink bottle for his room, he's on track but doesn't know his event yet, may change to crew because his time trial was good......yeah, it's a run on sentence for a run on situation! <=o) Sam Jeff & Sam, Boring OR - JDBldr Inc@aol.com *** USNA-NET post by: DICKEY Jeff&Sam 02 Troy _________________________________________________________________ Need someone for a job?

These are, as the name implies, fairly common questions which are raised by members. Through cataloging and having them available at a web site, parents will be able to browse for subject matter which interests them. Also, it makes answers to "standard" questions in the future a simple matter of cutting and pasting the appropriate answer. "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step." Therefore, I've enclosed the first two FAQs which will be added to our NavyFAQ file. I've used information provided in another post for the first FAQ. The Trident page which was then used to extract some interesting goal information for that organization. It has been turned into a draft FAQ since I'm not sure of exactly what Trident is. If someone could complete the FAQ and either send it to me or to usna-net@navy-usna.org, I'd sure appreciate it. Best regards, Dolf ---------- Q: Where can I get information and pictures about Summer Training? A: The current issue of Trident has an article entitled "Plebe Summer Training: Week Three" and it is loaded with photos. The online version is available at Anita ------- Q: What is Trident and what are its goals? A: (draft). Trident is and association . . . . . Their guidelines and goals are as follows: Guidelines For Everyone To Live By As We Move The Naval Academy Forward 1. Uphold the standards of the Naval Academy. 2. Be a person of integrity. 3. Lead by example (meet the standard you are holding others to). 4. Strive for excellence without arrogance. 5. Do your best. 6. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. 7. Tolerate honest mistakes from people who are doing their best. 8. Seek the truth (rumors and unverified anecdotes undermine morale). 9. Speak well of others (gossip undermines human dignity). 10. Keep a sense of humor and be able to laugh at yourself. OUR GOAL: Make the chain of command work by enhancing mutual trust, respect and good two-way communications. *** USNA-NET post by: BEIL Dolf&Judy 98 DJ _________________________________________________________________ Need someone for a job?

This document has been prepared by the Cental Florida Parents Club. The information has been taken from their website at and is broadcast with their permission. Our thanks to Jon Herrell for making this material available. Best regards, Dolf ---------- THE FIRST (PLEBE) YEAR Some feel the Plebe year is more demanding and stressful than Plebe Summer. Of course one of the reasons for this is the fact that so much is expected in such a short period of time. There are come-arounds, rates to be learned, athletics, watches to be stood, military functions, marches, academic studies, cleaningrooms and uniforms etc etc etc. Once the Brigade returns following Parent's Weekend, there are as many as three upper classmen to each plebe, and the result can be very intimidating. During the academic year, a typical day begins with Plebe wake-up (between 0500 and 0530), well over an hour before the upper-class get up. Plebes need to read and be conversant with their newspaper article, memorize menus, professional topics, and "chow calls". At around 0630 they will probably have their "come around" of the day with a youngster or second class who will give them their professional topics for the day. Morning quarters formation is at 0700 for the entire company; breakfast is shortly afterwards, and the first academic class starts at 0755. There will be four class periods in the morning, the last one ending at 1145. After this ten minute grilling period, they will probably have another "chow call", which means standing in a prearranged spot in the company area and yelling at the top of their lungs: "Sir, you have ten minutes until noon meal formation. Noon meal formation goes outside. The uniformfor noon meal formation is winter working blues, stripers carry swords. The menu for noon meal is: (this changes with every meal, but all plebes must memorize each day's menu's) Tuna Salad Sandwich Kit Sweet Pickle Chips Cheese Doodles Mayonnaise, Sliced Tomato, Lettuce and Onion White Bread Lady Baltimore Layer Cake Iced Tea with Lemon Wedges, Milk The officers of the watch are: the Command Duty Officer is Lt. (name) 1st Company Officer, the Officer of the Watch is Midshipman Lt. (name), Brigade Assistant Operations Officer. The professional topic of the week is Naval Aviation. The major events in the yard today are: 0800 Blood drive on Deck 4-0 1600 Men's Water Polo vs. Army, Lejeune Hall 1900 Company Officer's time "You now have ten minutes - Sir!" As your Plebe is loudly yelling this, he is typically surrounded by several second class who are just waiting for him/her to make an error. Following this five minute "chow call" (which is very similar to the ten minute call) they "chop" to formation in the center of the passageway, eyes straight ahead, squaring all corners, and greeting all upper-class with a loud "GO NAVY, SIR" or "BEAT ARMY, SIR"! As a result of all this yelling, don't be alarmed at your Plebe's hoarse voice when he/she calls home. In fact, they sound as if they are catching a cold all summer and for the better part of the first year. All through lunch, the plebe keeps his "eyes in the boat", serves the upper- class, responds to all their questions. After taking a bite, places the utensil back on the plate and the hand goes back into the lap. Each table is set for twelve Mids in the squad. After serving seconds, the Plebe can request permission to "shove off" and if granted, (seldom) returns to his room. After noon meal, there are two more classes which end at 1505. Non-varsity athletes march in parades and play intramural sports during the fall and spring. Varsity athletes practice every day of the week and are exempt from marching in the parades when their sport is in season. Evening meal is served buffet-style between 1700 and 1900. There is open seating during evening meal and mids can eat at their convenience between the prescribed times. Evening meal is followed by a study hour at 2030. Plebe taps and upper-class taps are at 2400 with a muster each night. Plebe rooms are usually inspected daily and formal inspections (white glove and black sock) are conducted about twice each semester. "Youngsters" have town liberty on Saturday until 0100 Sunday morning. They rate three weekends of liberty per semester, meaning that they can leave on Saturday noon and they don't have to return until Sunday at 1900. Second Class rate six weekends per semester and "Firsties" unlimited weekends, the exception being when they are assigned military watches. Of course the Plebes get their fair share of military duties too. For the Plebes the hassles continue all the way through the first and second semesters. If Navy beats Army in football, "carry on" is usually granted until Christmas leave. This means that many restrictions are eleminated; for example , Plebes can sleep when they want to, even during the day! Periodically through the academic year, rumors circulate that maybe they can have stereos or their rates will be changed but the privileges never come until after final exams. "Herndon" is the big event for Plebes during Commissioning Week and possibly the biggest event of the year. Upperclassmen coat the Herndon Monument with 200 pounds of lard and cement a "Dixie Cup" (Plebe Hat)on the top. The Plebes must work together to replace the "Dixie Cup" with an upperclassman's hat. Recorded times to accomplish this task vary from year to year. The longest recorded time in history now belongs to the Class of '98, who took four hours and six minutes to complete the changeover. The shortest time occurred in 1969, 1 minute and 30 seconds (no lard was used that year). The successful Plebe is rewarded with a mounted Superintendent's shoulder board and tradition holds that the Mid will be the first to make Admiral from his/her graduating class-it has yet to come true. We keep waiting, and feel certain that it will be a Midshipman from Central Florida when it does occur. Who knows perhaps he or she will be from the Class of 2002! ---------- ACADEMICS Academics are the key to a Mid's success, especially since most everything is based on merit and class standing. Studies are very demanding and after getting A's in high school, getting a C or D or failing an exam can be quite a shock. You must remember that only the best of the best get accepted to Annapolis, and the competition once there can be fierce. Choosing a major that one has a passion for is very important, one that helps the Mids stay motivated even while studying long hours and many weekends. If you can validate a course during Plebe summer you will be able to move ahead or take more advanced courses. All mids are assigned academic counselors who will help them select the best course offerings. Towards the end of Plebe year, each Mid makes a selection from one of the eighteen majors with the help of his/her academic and military advisor. Since the Naval Academy is such a concentrated four year program, if someone falls behind academically, it is likely the Mid will be forced to resign. A minimum course load is 15 hours per semester and a 2.0 CQRP is required to graduate. Moreover, the academy does not waste its time with anyone that fails due to lack of effort. The Academic Review Board meets every semester to review individual records of those who have done poorly during the previous semester. They look at all aspects of the midshipman's record and decide whether to separate him/her from the school. Some courses may be available during Summer School for make-up and/or enrichment, but for many, it's too little, too late. Attrition rates for the incoming class runs about 27% by the time that class graduates. Extra instruction (EI) is available to all Mids. It is said that everyone who receives an appointment should be able to conquer the academics if they really try and the professors and officers want to help everyone succeed. Small classes are a definite learning advantage, but if you go to class unprepared, your lack of preparedness will not go unnoticed. Many plebes are interested in one of the seven designated degrees but are afraid they won't be able to handle the academics. When making that decision, it is usually best to start out in a more demanding major because it is easier to drop back to a less challenging major than to get into a tougher one later on. All plebes will be taking a similar course load their first year. It should look something like this: FIRST SEMESTER - 16 CREDITS 2ND SEMESTER - 18 CREDITS Calculus I -------------------------Calculus II Chemistry ------------------------- Chemistry Government -----------------------American Naval Heritage Naval Leadership I ----------------Fundamentals of Naval Science Rhetoric & Intro. to Literature I ---Rhetoric & Intro to Literature II Physical Education (wt. Trng & ---------Physical Education (Swimming) -Personal Cond.) There are many special academic opportunities that offer an even greater challenge for those students that meet the criteria, such as; Trident Scholars, Honors Program and Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP). The catalog gives a detailed description of these programs. -------- SPORTS AT THE ACADEMY FALL -------------------------WINTER -------------------------SPRING Cross Country** ------------- Basketball** ----------------------Baseball Football ---------------------- Brigade Boxing -------------------Crew** Football (150 lb.) ------------------------------------------------ Crew (150 lb.) Soccer** ---------------------- Gymnastics** ---------------------Golf Water Polo Indoor Track** Lacross** Vollyball* Squash** Tennis** Sailing** Swimming** Track** Rugby Wrestling Sailing** Pistol** Rifle** Hockey *women / **men & women Every midshipman must participate in either varsity or an intramural sport. There are 26 men's and 12 women's varsity teams and 13 intramural sports. Academy teams are very successful which is impressive when you realize that most of the schools with whom the academy competes are much larger schools. Moreover, the other schools do not maintain the same high academic standards for their varsity athletes. Many parents have made the observation that a Plebe can get involved with a varsity sport even if they have never participated before. The intramural program is equally extensive and also quite competative. It pits companies against companies and battalions against battalions. It is a great way to stay in shape, vent frustrations and relieve stress. ------------ THE COLOR COMPANY A Color Company is determined each year and all 36 companies participate in a point system competition which continues throughout the year, until commissioning. Points are accumulated for performance in academics, sports, parades, and military activities. The winner becomes what is called the Color Company. With this honor, there is an added responsibility and certain privileges that are awarded and recognized during Commissioning Week. At the Color Parade during Commissioning Week, when the results are announced, a friend or fiancee of the winning company's Company Commander - designated Color Girl - tranfers the flag from the old color company to the new. As yet, no Commander of a Color Company has been a woman. When that happens, she will designate whomever she desires to join her in the transfer of colors. -------- SOCIAL LIFE The social life of a Plebe can be defined by two words, slim and non-existent. Plebes are not allowed to date (except on four specific occasions during the year, the first time being a Valentine's Day Formal). A big Saturday night for most Plebes is getting a pizza and coke with other Plebes and going to see a movie, or visiting with their sponsor's family. A really big weekend is when a mid is lucky enough to have his/her own family visit for a weekend! Dahlgren Hall is a wonderful place to relax and watch TV with your Mid, the food is decent and inexpensive. Inter-brigade dating (between male and female midshipmen) is not very common and dating between Plebe and upper-classmen is strictly forbidden. A few mids are able to maintain a relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend back home(known as the 2% club). Maintaining this type of relationship is difficult and adds an extra burden to the life of the mid. Marriage is strictly against the rules while in attendance, but many marry immediately following graduation. In fact this is the busiest time of the year at the Academy Chapel. --------- MID MONEY AND "FUNNY $$" Upon arrival each appointee must have deposited $1,500.00 with the academy to be used in partial payment for uniforms, supplies and a brand new computer. Many parents and candidates wonder how much spending money Mids should have when they report in to duty. To begin with, realize that starting with I-Day, the next time they walk out the gate will be on Parents Weekend in August, except for a couple of field trips to Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Probably their only expenditures will be for personal items purchased at the Mid Store such as a mop, broom, floor wax, cotton balls, shoe polish and perhaps a few snacks. Yes Mom, the broom and mops are for C l e a n i n g H o u s e !! They really will have mastered this art by the time you see them next. A hundred to a hundred and fifty dollars should suffice them for ready spending money in most cases. The bank on the Academy grounds is called the Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU). All mids are asked if they would like to open a checking and/or savings account there; most Mids find it very convenient. There are automatic tellers so the Mids have access to their money at any time. Most Mids have their pay checks automatically deposited directly to their NFCU account. All midshipmen will have a pay account monitored by the Academy. This is called "the funny money" by the mids. It's the Mids' money but they have very little, if any control over it. Every month Mids are paid $543.90 by the government which goes into the "funny money" account. Then money for such things as uniforms, dry cleaning, hair cuts, laundry, and tickets to concerts and ball games are automatically deducted from that account. Plebes usually receive approximately $50.00 per month for their "mad money" and the amount they receive is increased each year they remain at the school. They also receive a $200.00 advance at Christmas for their shopping/travel needs. They must however purchase their own cleaning supplies as well as bulletin board articles periodically. Most parents supplement the Mid during their four years and it is very appreciated, if not almost necessary.By the time they reach their "Firstie" year they pocket around $325.00 per month, and most are several thousand dollars in debt due to the low interest loan offered them while second classes. Most 2/C sport new cars that summer and a new stereo system. Since parents aren't paying for this wonderful $325,000 education, many parents opt to assist the Academy with a donation to the Alumni Association for the Mids Welfare Fund to assist with the costs of non- government supported costs, of which there are many!! ----------- CLASS RINGS During the Plebe year, a Class Ring/Crest Committee is formed. Each class designs its own ring crest. This tradition began sometime in the mid to late 1800's and continues yet today. These crests can be observed on display at Preble Hall Museum. The ring company chosen to produce the rings usually also makes charms, necklaces, pins, and tie bars with the class crests on, ready in time for Mothers Day which many purchase as gifts for mothers, fathers, girl friends etc. At the end of their 3/C year, orders are taken for their individual rings. Each basic ring is the same with the class crest on one side and the academy seal on the other. Mids personalize their rings by ordering any stone they like (or can afford), everything from gold plugs to diamonds. At this point many parents, or grandparents choose to pass on a heirloom that the stones may be removed and placed in the class ring.The rings are delivered for a week long fitting period, just before Spring Break during the 2/C year. After this fitting period, the 2/C are not permitted to wear their rings until the Ring Dance. If a "Firstie" catches a 2/C wearing it early, the 2/C owes him (or her) a beer. The ring dance is the most impressive and symbolic dance at the academy. After a special dinner in King Hall with the Admiral, the 2/C and his/her date walk over to the dance. The past three years it has been held outside on Radford Terrace, but inclement weather can force it inside at Dahlgren Hall.A female date wears her Midshipmans' ring tied around her neck on a blue and gold ribbon, a male date may wear his Midshipmans' ring on a ribbon pinned to his lapel, on his pinkie finger or simply in his pocket. The "date" dips the ring in a binnacle filled with water that has been flown in from the seven seas, specially for this occasion. When the couple passes through a giant replica of the class ring, the date places the ring on the Mids finger, and gives the mid a congratulatory kiss. In addition to dancing, there are boat cruises on the Severn River or rides around the yard in a horse drawn carriage and, later in the evening the most beautiful fireworks display over the river. As a Mid the ring is worn with the seal inside, but after graduation the ring is turned with the crest inside and the seal outside, so everyone can read "The United States Naval Academy. " They have justifiably become very proud "ring knockers". -------- COMPUTER CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR MID One of the hardest things parents of Midshipmen have to adjust to is the inability to pick up the phone and call their son or daughter. Unfortunately there are no phones in the rooms at Bancroft Hall. Fortunately, with the modern wonders of computer technology, we have a way to communicate with the midshipman on a regular basis, through the use of a computer equipped with a modem. This is the way all midshipmen communicate on a daily basis and a medium they soon adjust to. All grades, announcements, movement plans, orders and announcements are transferred to each midshipmen via his/her computer. Why shouldn't we get in line (or on line) as they say? Your Central Florida Parents Club has several members well versed in this new age wonder and can offer a world of advice on how to go about it, in the event that you're a little "green" in this area. Some parents "talk" on a daily basis with their Mid's, once Plebe summer is over. A program called ICQ is great for this and it is presently free. Get it, try it, and your Mid will know whenever you are both on line at the same time. Every Midshipman is issued a computer at the start of the academic year. If you have a computer with communication package and modem at home, you can communicate with your Mid, too. Every Midshipman has an E-Mail address. You can send a message through CompuServe, America-On-Line, Prodigy, Microsoft Net, or any other means for "surfing the net".Your Mid's computer flashes them a message when they have mail waiting in their in-box. He or she then answers by the same medium or calls home on a telephone, whichever is appropriate.It takes just seconds for you to send or receive a message over the internet, and there are no long distance phone charges. As soon as the Plebe Class of 2002 are issued their email address, changes will be made to the Central Florida Parents Club pages to include a link to email your son or daughter right from our own web site. That way Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Mary etc. can also stay in touch. We strongly recommend this method of staying in touch with your Midshipman. This is N O T a program for computer nerds only! Anyone who can turn on a computer and type should be able to use this medium for keeping up with the everyday life of your Mid. While a letter may also be sent it takes on the average three or four days for the Midshipmen to receive their mail at Bancroft, while an E-Mail message is there in about 27 seconds!!! The Central Florida Parents Club maintains a WEB site at: http://www.fla-homes.com/centfl~1.html for non frames viewing and at http://www.fla-homes.com/usnapc-frames.html for frames capable browsers. You may want to pass these URL address's to friends, and family so they can stay updated too. --------- ACCE$$ MORTGAGE SERVICES AND RE/MAX TOWN & COUNTRY REALTY Supply all the server space and pay all costs incurred in maintainng and supporting the USNA Parents Club of Central Florida's WEB site. Your club dues are not used for these costs. Remember them should you be in the market for a home or refinancing program. (407) 699-4100 or (407) 695-2066 ---------- KNOW YOUR MIDSHIPMANS RANKS As you wander the "Yard" on I-Day or any other visiting day, be able to recognize the various ranks and know when you are meeting an officer of the Brigade, Battalion or a Company Officer. If you know your various insignias you will find "Mid Watching" is a lot more fun. --------- RULES AND REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Midshipmen are allowed to leave the Academy only while on town liberty or during leave periods and when not restricted for academic or disciplinary reasons. Town liberty is from 10:15 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. each Saturday. On days of home football games, liberty begins upon completion of the game and lasts until 1:00 a.m. During three-day weekends, such as Labor Day, plebes have town liberty from 10:15 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, and 8:00 a.m. until midnight Sunday. NO TOWN LIBERTY IS GIVEN ON MONDAY.TOWN LIBERTY is granted to plebes who may not travel outside a 22 mile circle which is measured from the Chapel Dome. WEEKEND LIBERTY has no mileage limits and no military obligations, i.e, taps, meal formation, etc. during weekend liberty, with the exception of football games. All midshipmen are required to attend home football games. Plebes are not entitled to weekend liberty. Midshipmen above the rank of plebe are entitled to the following number of weekends. (A short weekend extends from 1015 Saturday to 1800 Sunday and a long weekend lasts from 1600 on Friday to 1800 Sunday. A three-day weekend extends the time period for 24 hours. ) There are several ways that midshipmen may earn extra long weekends. They include earning an "A" on a Physical Readiness Test (PRT), increasing a PRT score by 10 points over previous semester's score, havig a Semester Quality Point Rating (SQPR) of 0.3 higher than their Cumulative Quality Point Rating (CQPR), making the Supt's List(2 weekends)(3.4 Semester Quality Point Rating, an "A" in performance, and a "B" or better in PE), or making the Dant's List (1 weekend)(2.9 Semester Quality Point Rating or better, "B" in performance, and a "B" or better in PE). Plebes get Sunday/Monday liberty for Supts List and Dants List. They only get one weekend for and none for any of the other achievements listed above, except when granted specifically by the Dant. Weekends have been granted to plebes in the past for victories over Army in various sports and for Brigade spirit at the Army/Navy football game. YARD LIBERTY is authorized from 5:30 p.m. to 7:15p.m. daily. Plebes may escort visitors during yard liberty on weekends and holidays and prior to 7:15 p.m. on week nights; escorting privileges are limited to parents, guardians, immediate family, close relatives or family friends. They are authorized use of the Officer's Club only as a guest of an Officer's Club member, parent or sponsors. They can invite you as a parent to participate in noon or evening meal in King Hall. You can also be invited to scheduled sporting events, musical productions, etc. Plebes can attend week night events that extend past 7:15 p.m. only if their semester grade average is greater or equal to 2.0 on a 4.00 scale. CIVILIAN CLOTHING is not an option for Plebes and Youngsters who must remain in uniform at all times. Plebes and Youngsters are not allowed to keep civilian clothes in their rooms and/or in the homes of their sponsors. This requirement is lifted during leave (not liberty). OPERATING AND KEEPING CARS is not allowed for plebes and Youngsters. They can ride in a private auto when accompanied or driven by parents, guardians, USNA approved sponsors, staff, faculty members or when escorting to a formal dance, play or concert in the yard. Second Class Midshipmen may drive cars, but not on the yard. They may keep a car in Annapolis but it must be parked 2 miles from the Academy. Only Firsties may drive and park on the Yard. STEREOS, RADIOS, WALK-MANS AND CD PLAYERS are not allowed during plebe year. Music CDs may not be played on computer equipped with CD drives and sound cards. Plebes will NOT consume alcohol regardless of their age. Upper-class midshipmen cannot drink, including non-alcoholic beer, unless they are within the legal drinking age of 21. THIS IS A SEPARATION OFFENSE. Plebes are authorized to attend Sunday worship services in the Annapolis area. They must return to the Academy immediately following the service. Any involvement in hazardous activities such as scuba diving, hang gliding, etc. needs approval from their Battalion Officer via their company Officer. ------------ LEAVE PERIODS Every leave begins after completion of the Mid's last scheduled exam or military duty. A movement order gives authorization for a group of Mids to leave the Academy for various events (i.e. sports, club and drills). There is a specific criteria for every leave. In the fall, everyone has Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day liberty and at least two days off for Thanksgiving weekend. Around Thanksgiving, the big event of the year takes place Army vs. Navy in football. The timing changes each year depending on location and TV availability, but it usually the first weekend in December. All Mids are transported to the game and usually are required to sit with the Brigade. At times Firsties have been permitted to sit with the parents if they are in attendance at the game. This decision is often left up to the Company Officer to decide. Mids can usually count on going home for Christmas leave after their last exam or last military duty, and this period usually occurs between December 16th and 20th. The entire Brigade must report back the same day and is a few days after the New Year, which equates to about 3 weeks of vacation time. Many sports teams (swimming among others) often practice during the Christmas break, and may cut into your Mids vacation time if he/she participates in these sports. Remember too, that the Parents Club of Central Florida sponsors an annual Holiday Ball for the Mids and parents. This is a great time to see you Mid dressed in his/her dressiest uniform. Last year roughly 223 people attended the dinner dance. The return from Christmas break brings about "the dark ages", a time at the Academy where things seem to close up for the winter and the bitter cold sets in for Florida Mids. Everyone has Martin Luther King's birthday and George Washington's birthday off and then the next break isn't until Spring Break in early March. It is nine days long including weekends.After this break the Brigade returns for an intercessional period and scheduled Forrestal Lectures and other events that cannot be scheduled during other times of the year.Early cruises are scheduled to begin following the intercessional and many Mids are already gone when graduation occurs at the end of Graduation Week. *** USNA-NET post by: BEIL Dolf&Judy 98 DJ _________________________________________________________________ Need someone for a job?

They all looked = great! They marched out to Warden Field around 6:30 and practiced 2 = sets of the entire parade until well after 8:00 pm. It was really hot = but the sun was covered by clouds for about half of the practice. The = detailers gave the plebes several orders to "hydrate" during the = practice. One plebe was on crutches and sat in front of me. Another = plebe was with him, probably assigned to make sure he I think they did = a formal dress parade last night. Each company carred a flag with the = letter of their company so I knew where Kris (G) was at all times. I = think this is what we will see on Friday, August 7, Parents weekend. =20 KRIS JUST CALLED! 9:50! It was supposed to be 5 minutes but seemed = more like 30 seconds. He said his "plebe hack" is mostly gone. He = didn't see me at the parade!

(:>) Thanks to everyone who has contributed to make our cyber-support community a comfortable place for newcomers! Now that we have an established "nucleus" of members, it seems to be time to start creating some of the infrastructure which will permit expansion to a very large number . . . .1,000 . . . .2,000 . . . or more. I've changed the address on the messages sent to usna-net@navy- usna.org Previously, if you hit the button, the message went to the listserver. However, now it will go to the individual who submitted the broadcast. This change will permit personal traffic to be more easily directed to the intended individual instead of being sent to all of our members! Also, we have established an archive of the messages. You can at any time refer to them and browse past message traffic. I've enclosed an FAQ which describes the procedure as well as the current list of the archived message files. As always, I'd appreciate any additions and corrections being sent directly to me. BTW, I always ask for direct feedback in order to keep the level of non- mission related traffic to a minimum. I'll gladly summarize the needed changes and broadcast one updated message. The alternative would be to have members annoyed with keeping track of several responses on the same subject which may range over several days. Experience has shown that as the volume grows, not everyone has lots of patience with "techno-litter." It isn't a problem now and if we are all conscious of the possibility, I'm sure it won't become one! (:>) As always, please let me know if you have any questions on any of the above! I'm really happy about the way this new listserver has taken off and am looking forward to using it to provide lots of communication help to our USNA cyber-family! (:>) Best regards, Dolf -------- Q: How do I find subjects for and retrieve archived messages? A: Since all broadcast messages are retained on file, there is a three step process to find the item you're seeking. You need to (1) retrieve the index of all documents, (2) retrieve a file containing the actual message, and (3) Find the text within the file. Detail steps using an example are as follows: 1/ Get the current index by sending a message to majordomo@navy-usna.org as follows: index usna-net That will deliver a message which has a section as follows: BROADCAST MESSAGE JOURNALS & DIGESTS ==================================== . . . v01.n010 35408 980719 A v01.n011 35248 980719 A . . . Find the date that you are interested in and record the name of the corresponding file. For example 7/19/98 has the entry "v01.n011". 2/ Retrieve that file by sending majordomo@usna-navy.org a message as follows: get usna-net v01.n011 Examine that file for an entry your are interested in, such as the following: . . . Topics in this issue... (1) Plebe Summer Training (Janet Ferrara jferrara@vmicro.com) (2) Plebe Summer Training (Janet Ferrara jferrara@vmicro.com) (3) Summer cruises (Laurenrich@aol.com) (4) Re: Plebe Call (Laurenrich@aol.com) (5) "Why" Behind the "What" of Plebe Summer Training (DolfnJudy@aol.com) (6) FAQ: Additional Information (DolfnJudy@aol.com) (7) Plebe Parent Survival Guide - Part 1 (DolfnJudy@aol.com) 3/ Use your software's search capability to find the subject's title within that message file. For example, (find - function) "Plebe Parent Survival Guide - Part 1". -------- BROADCAST MESSAGE JOURNALS & DIGESTS ==================================== CONTENTS 229 980725 TOPICS 105 980725 directory
