Our son requested a "flying flag" to avoid a "mutiny."  I sent a 3X5, which 
he put on his bulletin board.  I don't think size is an issue, however.  I 
have heard of others who sent 4X6, or whatever.  I believe it just needs to 
be clearly visible!

it has been suggested you new guys get "brief points"; get plebe's "reef 
points" too (in the midstore)  try doing your rates while ur boss is giving 
you 2 or 3 new assignments, try memorizing all the info to be repeated on 
demand while you are running thru the grocery store, etc.  Just like
parents NOT associated with USNA can't u'stand what u go thru, WE can only 
TRY to understand what the Mids go thru!
Hate to hear confindentialities may have been passed to u'class-it does point 
out one of the greatest goals of a Plebe-to remain anonymous! don't help them 
attract unwanted/unneeded attention-ever!

To all USNA-Net users...

(I took a long time to put this together.  Please read it all.)

Now that the excitement has died down and the third Plebe calls have been
received, it's time for your Moderator to share a few words on the KEY
issues of the past few days.  No lecture.  I promise.

There has been an awful lot of traffic both on and "off" the List about Mids
having access to our messages, Parents sharing info with their Upper-Class
Mids, and so on.  As Moderator, it is my responsibility to enforce our
rules.  Every one of these rules is there for a reason.

But let's all exercise a little COMMON SENSE.

With the influx of sooooo many new members over the past two months (about
300 new families in eight weeks), is it any wonder that there is some
confusion.  By now "most" of you know not to send attachments, not to use
Rich Text Format, not to post the same message to BOTH lists, etc.  If you
don't know these things, please see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Page on the web site.  But there remains the issue of PRIVACY and public
access by non-members to our Lists.

We are a closed list and by definition our messages are only available
through membership.  The first thing this insures is that your membership is
not public knowledge.  Even other members of our List do not know who you
are unless you post a message or publicize personal information in a
posting.  (The signature line appended to each message is necessary for our
system to handle the re-transmission of messages.  And it only contains the
bare minimum of info.)

The next thing being a closed list does for all of us is that it allows a
degree of control over the operation of the Lists.  By agreeing to abide by
our rules, a member accepts the personal responsibility for the contents of
their postings.  Are rules are nothing more than an extension of good ol'
common sense.  When you post a message to the List you should remember that
hundreds of other members will read it.

No message should ever contain material that isn't supposed to be seen by
ALL of the members.  You wouldn't want someone talking about your Mid in a
negative manner.  You wouldn't want to hear that Johnny did this "bad thing"
or that Mary said "this or that" about her Detailer.  After all, isn't this
really a form of gossip?  I know it's hard to refrain from complaining over
our Lists about life at the Yard but that's NOT what these Lists are
intended to accomplish.  We're here to help each other, share advise, answer
questions and generally make life more livable as a Navy Parent.  Think of
the countless other parents out there without the benefit of our Lists.

The point here is that we should make every effort to keep our postings
factually accurate and free of things that might have ANY negative impact on
our own or any other Mid at the Yard.  If we all did this, all of the time,
it wouldn't matter who read our messages.  WE NAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.  We're
not a closed society with deep, dark secrets.

If you find something of interest to share with Grandpa or Cousin Martha, go
ahead and share it.  If your Mid would find a certain story funny, go ahead
and share it.  Just use your head and think before you start (or continue)
to spread gossip.  That should take care of 99% of the questionable stuff
right then and there.

Lastly, there is the PRIVACY issue as it applies to Midshipmen.  Again,
common sense should prevail.  A Mid is "IN THE NAVY" and not just away at
college.  He/she is to be treated with all of the dignity and respect
deserving of any other adult in our society.  He shouldn't have to worry
about "mommy or daddy" telling tales "out of school" on our lists about what
he is doing.  He shouldn't find hundreds of unsolicited emails in his inbox
because some well intended stranger thought he might be lonely and need the
reading material or because it's his birthday.

And for sure, your Mid shouldn't have to worry about getting in trouble
because of what his/her parents are doing or saying on these Lists.  Share
your stories about your Mid's successes.  Let the whole world know how much
you miss him.  Just remember that there are a lot of people listening in
every time you hit the send button.  AND no one has complete control over
what a member might do with your message.

SIDE NOTE ON BIRTHDAY GREETINGS...
When these lists began over a year ago, there were only 70 or so members and
the tradition of posting information about an upcoming Mid birthday (while a
violation of our "Call to Action" rule) was generally allowed and a very
nice thing to do.  I'm sure it was great for a Mid to get a couple of dozen
electronic birthday greetings to mark the special day when he/she was so far
from home.

Now we number over 500 members and that HAS TO CHANGE.  A Mid is too busy to
open his/her mailbox and find HUNDREDS of messages from parents who are not
his own.  The Mids use email to receive IMPORTANT information from
Professors and the Academy about class assignments, schedule changes, etc.
and shouldn't have to wade through all of the notes, letters, and greeting
cards to find out that his class was moved and he's already late.  Also,
most Mids are extremely well mannered after a while at the Yard and will
feel obligated to acknowledge each and every one of them with a note of
thanks.  They don't have the time to do this.  What started out as a
beautiful gesture can now easily escalate into a huge problem for your Mid.

If you want to surprise your Mid with a special note from those members that
are within your circle of friends inside our Lists, by all means... go ahead
and ask a handful to send off a note or card.  Just don't ask 500+ strangers
to load up your Mid's mailbox.  I hope you all understand.

Well, our little five-week adventure of having Ted at home was great but
all-too-soon came to a close.  He is now back at Bancroft for the night,
then off to Georgia for an 18-day underwater adventure aboard a nuclear
submarine.

He assured me as we walked through the airline terminal early this
morning that there was nothing to worry about -- that only two nukes
have been lost in U.S. history and both those were lost during testing
or some other such event.  Then he went on to explain that, with such a
history of safety, if something DID happen to it I'd hear about it
immediately since it would be such big news and also because he would
then go down in history.  I was not comforted by his words.

Hoping not to embarrass anyone, I would like to publicly thank Randy
Stokes who, if you remember last week's postings, made a blanket offer
to any mid who needed airport transportation.  Well, since Ted's cruise
got changed and changed and changed, his airport ride plans fell apart.
The folks who had long ago planned to collect him from BWI and return
him to Bancroft could no longer assist.  I, being shy and reserved
(not!), simply asked Randy if she really meant what she said, she
affirmed, and Ted was delivered safe and sound to the Yard this evening
by Mrs. Stokes.  Even after his plane was delayed (heck, it made four
stops as it traversed our fine country!) in Chicago and arrived in
Baltimore 30 minutes late she STILL waited for him.  Thank you, Randy.

And thank you, all, for being the great parents that you are to all
these fine midshipmen.  I am so proud of every one of them and you for
making them who they are.

Best regards,

Susan

My mid didn't recall when he got his AC schedule plebe year (I get the 
impression that some things are lost in the mists of time...). 

I believe that validating a course means moving up to another (albeit 
potentially more difficult) course, and that it is possible, depending on 
your major and what (or how many) courses you validate, to graduate ahead of 
your matrix.

To: usna-net@navy-usna.org

     We received our phone call early yesterday, which was great because we 
missed it last week because of the Parent's club Clambake in Portsmouth, NH. 
(We felt really bad because he called a friend and he was out, so he had to 
talk to his friend's mother!!)  We met a number of mids on their CSTS cruise, 
a great group of young men and women.  
     We must be the only parents who have been asked by their mid not to send 
anymore care packages. He actually groaned when we said we mailed 2 more on 
Friday. We have been keeping it very nutritious, maybe that's the problem, 
every high fortified bar in the store for variety, trail mix, nuts, gatorade 
mix. You name it we sent it. Everything that was suggested by you thoughtful, 
helpful people. After reading about all the illnesses going around Bancroft, 
I did break down and send a thermometer, which he said got a great laugh from 
his roommates. He said he has been coughing, though. 
     He has been so very upbeat and excited about all the different things 
they are doing, all we heard was I can't wait till PPW, to tell you all about 
it. He's playing soccer, validated 2 classes, is asst. squad leader, 
qualified as a sharpshooter, and seems in very good spirits. I hope it 
continues for 12 more days and 4 more years!
      It has been great reading all this mail, it makes me feel better and 
not totally in the dark about the USNA.
Thank you everyone for keeping us informed.

I'm cleaning up tonight - at long last my husband says.  I've come across a 
couple of papers that have information that bears repeating.  There are a lot 
of new members at both the plebe and net sites.  If this is old information, 
please just pass onto the next message.  If you've recently joined, take a 
look to make sure you have this information.

The Class of 2003 Parents Weekend Handbook from the USNA is available at 
www.usna.eduPAO/Parents  Check occasionally because it will be updated at the 
PPW gets closer.

The Academic Year 1999-2000 shcedule is available at 
www.nadn.navy.mil/AcDean/Calendars

The Navy Lodge is available for parents as long as their midshipmen sponsor 
them.  You may make the reservations yourself, but will need your mid's 
social security #, name, mailing address, rank, etc.  Your mid will need to 
be with you at check-in or come over ahead of your arrival so a copy of 
his/her I.D. can be made.  You may register 60 days in advance by using 
(800)NAVY INN or (410)757-7900.

As most of you know the Army/Navy tickets are at a premium.  This is the 
earliest time, in the history of the game, that Navy has sold their 
allotment.  There are a couple of other options that you may try.  The number 
for the Army Ticket Office is 914-446-4996.  You may place an order with a 
credit card.  You will be notified by September 20th as to whether or not you 
will get tickets.  If not, your credit card will be reimbursed for the 
charges.

The other possibility is to contact the Veteran's Stadium at 215-685-1500 and 
ask when the public tickets will be available.  It should be sometime in late 
August.  NAAA has asked that they move this date up and an announcement 
should be made however, we have received no notification.  There has been an 
official request for the city of Philly to sell back some of their tickets.  
There is not a great deal of hope that this will happpen.

Should you not be able to get tickets, consider hosting or helping to host an 
Army/Navy game party.  It's a great opportunity to get to know other members 
of your club - and if you feel very brave - ask the local Army Parents' Club 
to join you.  That should provide for a very entertaining afternoon.

Hi.  Brad is heading off on the Restless for Portsmouth, NH on his CSTS.
Anyone out there know what they do there.  Will they stay in NH over night?
He said they have a 48 hour sail this week Thur - Sat and then next week
they head to NH.  I assume there are many sailboats going, I guess it is
like the YP's, just the lead boat shows up on tracking.
Someone ask yesterday how to find out which YP your Mid is on, they have to
call you and tell you.

Thanks for any info.

In answer to the question of what they do in Portsmouth, NH - 
The boats usually arrive at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on a Friday and 
stay til Monday. The mids have to clean the boats, empty trash, shop for 
supplies at the commissary there, stay in the barracks - better than the 
cramped space on the boats and when not on watch, have town liberty.  BTW - 
the shipyard is actually in Kittery, ME just over the bridge from Portsmouth.
Not all the boats have the equipment for tracking, that is why they do not 
all show up. Five or six boats go to Portsmouth, the rest go to Groton, CT or 
Newport, RI

Mike,
This is my first time on usna-net and wanted to thank you for the
information on the YP cruise.   We took our son Philip back to the academy
yesterday and we are looking forward to using the web page on tracking the
YP's.  Thanks again.

To all,
I guess I just need a little support now........Erin called her father in 
Florida on Saturday.  She reported that she is still on crutches and is going 
to Bethesda Naval Hospital today for a bone scan.  Apparently they suspect a 
stress fracture of her hip.  Normally I would have jumped right on top a 
situation like this and done my usual "mom" thing.  I have controlled those 
urges because I know that she is legally an adult now, that she is now the 
responsibility of the United States Navy, that from all the reports I have 
read on this site.....I am comfortable that she will receive the very best 
care medically, and (probably the most compelling reason) I do not want to 
draw any attention to her as a result of my concern.  

Is there an appropriate action for me to take at this time or should I just 
wait for them to call me if that becomes necessary?  I would appreciate any 
suggestions or experiences you may wish to share.  Thanks for your help.  I 
would really be lost without you all right now.

publication...they are like air at USNA...all around.  The current edition 
includes articles about PEP, medical care, brigade stripers, weekly 
activities, and sports. Previous editions have included Mids who have made 
Supe's List, volunteered time for charitable projects, etc. We enjoy reading 
the articles which add to our knowledge and understanding of the Navy and 
USNA.  You might too.
PPW is just a few days away.  I know the Plebes, their parents, and their

I agree that the Trident is a great way to learn a lot about the Academy.  I 
began my subscription during my mid's plebe summer at the suggestion of a 
local USNA parent.  That mom was my "support network" that summer, and she 
never steered me wrong!  I've read each Trident issue religiously for two 
years, and will continue to do so!

By the way, the URL for Trident online is:

http://www.dcmilitary.com/navy/trident/

Current articles and an archives are available, and all of the subscription 
info is there, too.

You can read from the USNA home page altho they are not too faithful about

that frequently has stories on The Academy (it is "THE" by the way :)

Subject: usna-net: Sub Safety

To Susan and all other parents of potential submariners,

This probably won't help your comform level, but I'll pass
this 
anyway.    

The USS Thresher sank 4-10-63 when it failed during a test
dive to 1,300 feet.  The USS Scorpion was lost 5-28-98 and
was later confirmed sunk.  New evidence points to an
accident with a "hot running torpedo" (not the official
Navy report, however).  While it's true the
United States has only lost two subs, there were other
accidents and close calls with Soviet boats during the Cold
War years.  Read "Blind Man's Bluff" by Sherry Sontag and
Christopher Drew for a fascinating account of American
submarine espionage.  The hardships our submariners endured
are substantial.  I read the book on my son's advice (he
told
me to skip chapter one, but I didn't).  He spent most of
June
on the USS Nevada.  He had a great time, learned a lot, and
was very impressed with the technical competence and
attention
to safety practiced on our nuclear subs.  He also returned
with	
a much greater respect for those in the submarine force.

Don't want to nitpick too much but think this date was 5-28-68.  Only reason 
to point that out is that the safety of these vessels has improved 
significantly since that time period.  During peacetime operations probably 
safer on a sub than driving in a car.

Hello,  Haven't read any reports on the last YP cruise so I thought that I 
would share a few things that Richard mentioned when he called July 31.  He 
only knew about 3 or 4 Mids at the beginning, therefore "met some really good 
friends".  The first day in Boston he went out and did laundry for himself 
and others who had watch.  HMMM, not exactly my idea of fun, but certainly 
needs to be done. The next morning Rich, Dave, Dan and Chris were off the 
boat by 1000 and on their way to see "Blair Witch Project".  It took them a 
long time to find the theater and then it was sold out; they bought tickets 
for the next show at 1700.  With time to kill they  played pool and rested, 
drank McDonald's milkshakes and had fun.  He said that some other Mids were 
walking along and a limo full of girls pulled up and asked them to go to a 
bachelorette party; they politely declined.  The next day Rich, Frank, Kevin 
and Josh wanted to see the same movie; again sold out so they saw "The 
Haunting".  Red Sox weren't playing. He loves to read so he went to  B. 
Dalton's and bought a book to read. The food is apparently good on the boat 
and he got to cook for a day; french toast and bacon for breakfast and pizzas 
for lunch.  One of the MIDS made bread pudding  from scratch for everyone. A 
Lt. brought a chess board and 16 or so had a tournament.  The Lt. won! HMMM.  
They stand watch for 4 or 5 hours in the pilot house, steering the vessel, 
taking charge of the helm (steering wheel) and the navigator plots the 
charts.  Another watch is radio sending transmissions and breaking easy 
codes.  They also stand watch in the engine room checking for leaks and keep 
the engine and air conditioning going. They wore ear muffs to protect their 
hearing.  Gauges are constantly checked. Their air conditioning went out and 
an electrical technician from another boat fixed it. In all, they "had a 
blast" in Boston and New York.  They learned alot about the Navy!!

Hello All!

My Mid returned to the Yard Sunday for NTT and I am curious as to what the
schedule is for this training. Also, what requirements must a Youngster
complete in order to receive a YP pin or are they "graded"?  I know the top
six on each boat receive this pin.

Dear Joe and Kathy and All,
Last year, we purchased the "expensive" Plebe videotape and loved it!  =
As advertised, our Plebe had cameo appearances at least 6 or 7 times.  =
For us, it was well worth the money. =20

A little side note:  The tape arrived finally during Darren's =
Thanksgiving break.  When he found out we bought it, he whined, "Oh, why =
did you go out and buy that stupid thing!", and proceeded to saunter out =
of the room as I was about to plug it into the VCR.  Not one minute =
after I started the tape, he sauntered back in, plopped on the couch and =
watched the whole thing!!! :-)

GO PLEBES!  GO NAVY!  BEAT ARMY!

If there is only $20 "extra" in a budget and the choice is a tape, or your 
Mid having the $20 (or taking another Mid to lunch whose parents can't come 
to PPW) it's a no brainer.  If the $20 is no biggie you'll never regret 
getting anything to do with your Officer's time at USNA.  When you realize 
you would hock your other kids, or your house to send a Plebe you don't even 
know home for Thanksgiving then you have a problem! :):)
Hope that each of you find your Mid well and satisfied when you get to PPW.
Wish I was going to the Yard, but saving my fall trip for Air Force game!
L&L to all

To Gifts, et al ---

Our son reports that he will arrive on 8/20 for Pass & Review at 1000. 
Most likely arriving the night before and spending the night cleaning,
etc in the bay before coming in.   They will be required to be on duty
until 1300, but many have finished all cleaning prior to Pass & Review
and have been freed immediately.  "It depends," is the navy answer we are
beginning to appreciate.   His suspicion is that since they are the last
summer group they "may" get to clean "a little longer" than other crews. 

Then the Brigade reforms at 1800 that same day, so it should be crowded
on the yard.
And all the YP'ers will be changing rooms, etc.
I'll be there to watch and hopefully take a huge crew of new friends to
lunch.  That as always, is his call. 

And, I've borrowed a digital camera ... so if they come out ok, I'll send
them out to Mike for the page.

Anybody need me to look for anyone in particular.

And ... our son reports he got some kind of "grease" (bonus) and got one
of the tickets for the Letterman show on 8/9.   So we'll tape it .... who
knows.

Godspeed all.

Dear Members,  We are forwarding this information sent to us by a member of 
our Parent's club.  


MEET THE AUTHOR  OF NAVY YARNS

Yarns

of Seven Generations during the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center's Maritime
Maryland event on 

Saturday, August 7th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

 Navy Yarns is a collection of stories that, "if they ain't true, they
oughta be."  Snippets 

from the rough draft of this book have become one of the most popular
features of Naval History 

magazine.   If you have enjoyed CAPT Smith's Class Column in Shipmate and
his feature in 

Naval History, or love a good sea story and a belly-laugh, this book is a
must.

 Navy Yarns retails for $15.95 in the Visitor Center Gift Shop, which is
open the same

hours as the Visitor Center:  March through December from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and January through 

February, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year's Day when it is

closed.  Features of the Center include the film To Lead and To Serve and
America's first space 

capsule, Freedom 7.  

For more information, call 410-263-6933.

Hi fellow members,
    My husband and I are planning to spend the weekend in Philly for the navy 
army game.  I would appreciate any recommendations you might have concerning 
hotels.
     This past weekend we brought our son back to the yard for NTT.  We 
stayed at the Navy Lodge, and would recommend it highly.  The rooms are 
large, as is the bathroom.  The kitchenettes include a coffee maker, 
refigerator, microwave, iron and board. A real bargain at $57.

Start Now for rooms!! I reserved my rooms last January. I would expect that
there are no rooms left in downtown Philly at this date. If so, they will
run about $175 to $200 a night to start. There are some Suites only hotels
about 25 miles outside the city that should still have vacancies and
reasonable rates.

We just made reservations at the Marriott airport in Philadelphia.  This is our first Navy/Army game, and are really looking forward to it.  I understand that any of the Airport hotels are good selections.

We just learned of the Navy Lodge in Annapolis, heard nothing but good things about it.  It'll be our selection for our next trip there, too.

Hi!  I live 13 miles outside of Philadelphia and my husband is a police 
officer in Mt. Laurel Township.  I know last year during the Army-Navy game 
weekend, he said they had tailgating parties all night long Friday night and 
Saturday night at the Hotels along Route 73 in Mount Laurel.  There's also 
ample hotel space in Cherry Hill, which is likewise very close to 
Philadelphia.  I'm not trying to advertise, but maybe just give some of you 
not familiar with the geographical area some insight as to what's nearby.  
These are both "nice" areas.

Hi, All,

I received a call from a panicky mom trying to help her daughter who has 
misplaced her new sponsors phone and address, which she also sent to her 
mom who spilled coffee on it!!!  (pops!)

I have the mom's phone number that I can give to anyone that might be able 
to refer us to the right person. We are trying to let her daughter remain a 
"stealth plebe" by not going to the "powers that be" to get this 
information again.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,  Go Navy, Beat Army!

as the telephone number for the sponsor program.  Try that.
Also, we looked up the name and phone number of our son's
sponsor from lists the Maryland Parents' Club had posted in
Dahlgren at PPW.  Perhaps you could try their club president
as well.

Hi, All,

I received a call from a panicky mom trying to help her daughter who has
misplaced her new sponsors phone and address, which she also sent to her
mom who spilled coffee on it!!!  (pops!)

I have the mom's phone number that I can give to anyone that might be able
to refer us to the right person. We are trying to let her daughter remain a
"stealth plebe" by not going to the "powers that be" to get this
information again.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,  Go Navy, Beat Army!

Baltimore.

Actually, no...The Navy/Army game is not slated for Jack Kent Cooke.  The 
following information appeared in the Annapolis Capitol:

"Army-Navy to play in Baltimore

Ravens Stadium in Baltimore will host the annual Army-Navy game next year.

(Excerpted from the article by JOE GROSS, Sports Editor.  Published June 04, 
1999, The Capital, Annapolis, MD)

Navy's 101st renewal of the Army-Navy football game, scheduled for Dec. 2, 
2000, will be played in Baltimore. 

The Army-Navy football series has attracted nearly seven million fans in its 
previous 99 contests, more than any other collegiate rivalry in the nation. 
Baltimore's 2-year-old facility at Camden Yards seats 69,400 spectators. 

This year's game will be played on Dec. 4 in Philadelphia where it has been 
held 74 times. 

The Army-Navy contract with Philadelphia runs through 2002, but it allows 
some games to be taken to other sites. This will be the final "out" year of 
the current contract. 

The Army-Navy game was last played in Baltimore in 1944, but since then 
hasn't been played anywhere other than Philadelphia, Pasadena, Calif, or East 
Rutherford, N.J. 

Jack Lengyel, the Naval Academy athletic director, said the change of venue 
has nothing to do with last season's incident in which several people were 
injured when a Veterans Stadium railing gave way as a throng of Army Cadets 
leaned forward to mug for a television camera. 

His idea is to play the game at Giants Stadium for the years Army is the home 
team and at either PSINet or Jack Kent Cooke Stadium in the years Navy is the 
host. 

Future plans for Navy to play games there have to be negotiated with Daniel 
Synder, the new owner of the Redskins and the stadium."

I have not checked with our Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Ohio), but I do not

to get a vanity plate for my son's truck which is actually in his dad's name. 
 However, when our mid gets his car in a year or two I doubt that the plates 
can transfer to a different owner.

The Navy Lodges are set up to benefit those who are in the military and
their families- active (and those who are retired)- as a way of
compensating them when they have a short-term duty assignment that
requires them to stay overnight for brief periods of time. They need to
show duty orders when checking in if they make the reservation more than
60 days in advance.
To use these for 'friends' use is a misuse of these lodgings - according
to a military friend of mine, he says 'They are military lodgings for
military people'. We, as parents, are fortunate to ride on our
sons/daughters coat-tails.

 My son Andrew did not make it clear exactly when they would arrive for pass

Sorry I do not know when they will going past Greenwich CT.  

To Barbara Ahr,
In an earlier message on this listserver, you asked which ship my son will be

First, 
A suggestion... DO NOT send bouquets of BALLOONS!  Especially BARNEY 
balloons, etc.!  Remember....NO ATTENTION drawn to your Mid!  :)
DO NOT SEND ANYTHING THAT WILL DRAW ATTENTION!  ESPECIALLY IF IT IS 
CONSIDERED JUVENILE, ETC.!!!!!!  :)   

Good Ideas:

Phone Cards are always welcome.....He/she might call home!

Make his/her favorite brownie/cookie recipe and send enough for him/her to 
share with his/her roomies....:)   He/she will instantly be reminded of YOU!

Book of stamps, postcards, stationery, etc......Might want to pre-address 
some items for home.....You MIGHT get a letter/post card in the mail!  Hey, 
it SAVES TIME!  :-)

A card from Mom and/or Dad ........Just tell them how very much you love your 
Mid and how very, very PROUD you are!!!  And that you will always BE THERE 
for him/her.........NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!

And let them know that they are CONSTANTLY IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!

These are but a few suggestions!

God Bless......Good Luck....BE LOUD!  BE PROUD!

GO NAVY!

Thankyou for all the help on YP locations. The site that maps where they are

know where the Bravo's are this morning. I think they may be about to go 
through Long Island sound, and we could see them there if we go out. I'll

I see, (through someone elses computer) that the YP's are heading out to sea 
and will not be coming through Long Island sound. I think the Navy may have 
planned it this way so that my mid would not be embarrassed by his parents 
motoring out and waving at him. (joke)
Thanks again everybody, Lane (Seth, '02, 3rd co., NY)

You can contact Thornton Studios, the official Herndon videographer, at 
jeeps@erols.com. That's where I ordered mine ahead of time, and I'm SURE

Hey all you 4th block  YP Cruise Youngster parents:

    If your mid is on YP 680  they are in NEW YORK and out on the town!  We
have been out most of the day (at a Fund raiser  Golf Tournament sponsored
by my church or I would have been home because I expected a call!).   When
we got home there was a message blinking....
"Hey MOM , This is Jonathan-- I am calling from New YOrk..  I'm at  the top
of the World Trade Center...I thought it would be  kind of a  funny place to
call from, sorry you are not home --can't imagine where ya' ll would be
today....will try to call later..... just wanted to let you know we got here
early this morning... going to the Statue of Liberty next...This  looks like
it  should be fun.....I stood watch in the pilot house from 8pm til
midnight...got some good time in night time conning.. Having some good
fun......Will call later today!!!!!!!!"
    Now that is a GOOD phone call even if we were not here to take it!   I
would have cried last year to have missed his call ( I did miss a few and
did cry--sorry its a mom thing.....I will be waiting for the REAL call
today.  He already sent an email Thurs saying he had lost the last round of
paper rock scissors so did not get a Letteman ticket!!!!!  But sounds like
they are having a good time!  That  is the important thing!
    Some parents  had posted ideas about birthday gifts,  here is another
idea: last year I chatted with a plebe  and her mom  shopping in the mid
store-- they were buying her a real good sleeping bag so she would not have
to make up her bed every day.    She  could get up, get  ready and get out
quicker.....A good quality sleeping bag would come in handy to all of them
and a big roll of duct or masking tape!    Our son had a real good sleeping
bag  that he took up after Thanksgiving and he said that worked out
great.... He also had his sheets, bedspead (the "blue magnet")  duct taped
to the underneath so it was always tightly  tucked ready for inspection.
When  his  whole mattress  got thrown out the  window of his (4th floor)
room  army Navy week, the sheets and spread did not even come off!!

    Hang in there Plebe parents!  One of The Sweetest  Times you will ever
spend with your Mid "child" is getting  closer!!!!!!

    I am going offline for the rest of the day   To make sure I don't miss
the next phone call!!!!!
    Go NAVY! Beat Army!

Hi ! Just got a call from my daughter Cari.  She is on the

docked in New York instead of going to Boston there was an
engine fire aboard one of the YP's and they changed plans.
She didn't say which boat it was.  She talked to her dad and
he didn't get too many details.  He just said it sounded
like she wanted to get out on town.  Cathie Murtagh

Heard unexpectedly from Andrew tonight....seems he is in New York even though 
he's in Bravo group.  His ship YP688 helped the ship that had the engine 
fire, which was YP693. Seems that his ship helped evacuate the crew from 
693...they lost all engine power and all electrical power.  There was a 
manifold leak in the engine.  Everyone got off safely and both ships docked 
in New York. They will leave New York tomorrow and take the inland passageway 
and should still be in Boston next Wednesday thru Friday.

They transferred from original YP685 to 693 and will be changing back again

First, big thanks to Anita for telling me how to get my map of the YP's 
working. And thanks to Mike too, but, amazingly, Anita scooped you out 
here:) Well the problem is, when you get that grey square, just go away from 
your computer and do a couple of things, then come back, and "Voila!"
  Mine says all the boats are #684 but you get the general idea.
Meanwhile, Seth called his Dad and told him that he had been diverted to 
NYC. His boat is #688 and his group is Bravo. They went to help the boat 
that had a fire. They should be going through Long Island Sound tomorrow 
morning. We hope to go out there and take pictures. Natch, all shall be sent 
to Mike.
So far, they are having a great time! But he got no time off in NYC, even 
though we are only an hour away. He had to stand watch, as there aren't many 
on who stand watch.
  Hope to be seeing them in the morning.
   Lane (Seth, '02, NY, 3rd co., YP688)

The recent postings reminded me of my son's request - a feather bed! I
was surprised but discovered that it made his mattress more comfortable
but most of all, he just wanted to roll it up and stash it in the
morning and not be concerned with making his bed. He found his room too
hot for a sleeping bag whether it was spring or winter. 

Our son is now an ensign coaching/teaching plebes who have chosen
sailing as their sport - (While awaiting flight school). He drives
around in an avon (like zodiacs) on the Severn, coaching and
encouraging, seven days a week. I'm happy to know that he and his room
mate invite youngsters who are on the Yard to his rented house for food
and R&R .

On Thurs., he discovered that the Navy was invited to include 4
qualified off-shore sailing members to join a civilian crew in Corpus
Christi, Texas on a civilain '44 entry in a race in the Gulf - he was
one of the chosen and by 6AM, on Fri., a two-seater training prop plane
out of the Naval intermediate flight school in Corpus Christi- on a
training flight- landed at Andrews Air Force base. He joined the pilot
for the flight down to Corpus Christi and will be on another training
flight (two-seater prop) on Monday back to Andrews. He was so excited
but all I wanted to know was -"Is the pilot instrument trained ?!"
I'm continually amazed at the opportunities that USNA has afforded him
and so many others that I read about here on this list-serve!

Warmest wishes to all the plebe parents as they approach PPW ! 

Fly Navy,

Hi everyone...
question on the upcoming PPW:  if we (parents of plebes) are introduced to
upperclassmen and especially detailers-what is the correct form for parents
in addressing these mids?  Is it Mr/Ms _____ or what?
Also, in catching up on last weeks emails (we've been gone) it seems that a
lot of the plebes have their sponsors already assigned.  We've not heard on
our sponsors yet.  Will that be assigned during PPW for those of us who
don't know yet?
How crowded does the academy get during PPW--is it about the same turnout as
it was for I-Day or do more parents/family members come out for PPW?

Just heard from my son's dad who took him to Air Force Academy today for 
exchange program.  Really different from the Yard--John ran into another Mid 
and they really stand out in their summer whites amidst all the blue and 
cami's.  The only wonderful thing about it--it was 55 degrees this am.  
Someone noted that their plebe summer couldn't be really bad with weather 
like that.  Terre

	On tuesday night I will be on a flight to europe that will

love.  He is a typical nervous groom telling his mother that he isn't
excited or nervous.  I will get to go to copenhagen, where he had been
stationed for the past few months, at the embassy.  He met quite a few of
the brass from the US and other countries.
	The excitement doesn't stop with CW.  It just keeps on happening. 
I was always very proud of those who served in the armed forces. Now my
son is one of them.  I am so veery proud as all are.  It is
because of them that we can sit, comfortable in our homes, and not be
afraid of being killed for our beliefs.  For all those on this net who
have served....thank you is not enough.  I will be moving soon to central
florida and I am taking my flagpole with me.  There it will have a place,
as it did here, in honor of all who have served and are serving.  You all
are in the prayers of many people on a daily basis.
	I leave on tuesday night and will be happy knowing that 'my

much joy given by all of you who write.  See you at the Army/NAVY game.

  As I 
approached he stood and smiled and I had a very enjoyable conversation with 
this Ensign.  He told me where to go to get the best pictures.  I told him 
that I did not want to insult him by asking what class he was in, but since 
everyone was in "civies" I had no idea.  He laughed and explained that he was 
an Ensign and was stationed there this summer to teach plebes sailing before 
going to flight school and this day they were taking staff and families out 
for a day on the water.  He talked about the plebes in almost a "fatherly 
way" and how he was looking forward to working with them.  He asked about our 
son and told me that he really loved his YP cruise and visiting the ports of 
Boston and NY. 

This is so "typical" of these wonderful young people!  My husband's son, 
John, is now at the AFA in Colorado Springs...they rode together from our 
home in Midland, Tx.  Telephone calls indicate that they really had a great 
time traveling together to Colorado...:)

We are friends with a family in our area who has a son who is a USNA graduate 
and now flies F14 Tomcats....In fact, I was invited to be at the airport when 
he flew in a "retired" Tomcat to be displayed at the Confederate Airforce 
Museum which is located here in Midland, Tx.  I(we) have also been invited to 
visit with him, his reo and family for the CAF Airshow(wish all of you should 
come see!  Awesome!)...most recently visited with him when he was on 
manuevers in the west and stopped over in Midland....He is so gracious, so 
warm and kind and caring....He always asks about John...in fact, while John 
was a plebe...he wrote a note of encouragement to John stating that 
"Everything you go through is WORTH it!"

He, too, was an Ensign and Taught sailing while awaiting his assignment to 
flight school.....He especially wanted to teach plebes about safety on the 
boats.....and did so......His mom has shared some really neat stories....:)  
There are so many!

The young man I am speaking of is Lt. Mark Tankersley...he is stationed at 
Oceana and got married the same day my daughter married.....which is why 
I(we) couldn't attend his wedding in VA.... Full dress, Sabres, etc.!!!  
Can't wait to see the video and pics!!!!!  
Mark was a terrific sport when he was interviewed by newspaper and television 
stations.....and very patiently took a group of school children on a "Tomcat" 
tour and answered a zillion questions, etc.  One could tell that he was "in 
his element!"  :)

I am proud to say that I am a friend of this wonderful young man who always 
walks up to me and hugs me and always remembers to ask about my husband's 
son, John
and treats me/us like family!!!

You are so right about these wonderful young people!  It is such an honor to 
know them....spend a few secs to chat with them, etc.  One can learn so much 
in such a short period of time.....So, if you ever have a chance to do 
so.....TALK to them!  :)  You will be Glad you DID!  

BE LOUD!  BE PROUD!  GO NAVY!

Sincerely,
Sharon and Gregg Vardaman

Thank you for your nice message and encouraging news about someone who 
"enjoyed" being at the AFA!!!  :)
I have no doubt in my mind that you will be hearing the same testimony re 
Your Special Mid in the years to come!  :)
We are looking forward to Navy/Airforce game.....The "Exchange of Prisoners!" 
 John and the other Seven will be "allowed" to go sit with "their own" during 
the game....:)
Am sure other parents of Exchange Students will appreciate knowing that 
others "Loved" their experience!  :)
I watched "The Long Gray Line" (think that is the name) today...on t.v.  and 
have to admit I cried.......All of the Academies produce the BEST of the 
best!  
Good luck and again.....thanks!

BE LOUD...BE PROUD......GO NAVY!

Terre,

Hope your son John enjoys his time at the Zoo! The exchange program is a
great experience and you should be proud that John was selected for it. It's
a beautiful facility and he should take advantage of as much of it as
possible during his semester there. Also, they usually have a fair football
team to watch, as well.

You mentioned the plebe summer, a.k.a. Doolie BCT, there. I can say from
experience that running non-stop at 8,000 feet above sea level and survival
training/forced marches at 13,000' are genuinely fatiguing at any
temperature, many of which were in the nineties and a couple of 100+ degree
days. But, yes there are those cool morning reprieves from the heat!  ;-)

We'll be watching for him at the POW Exchange at AF-N!

Regards,

Gregg

Just heard from my son's dad who took him to Air Force Academy today for
exchange program.  Really different from the Yard--John ran into another Mid
and they really stand out in their summer whites amidst all the blue and
cami's.  The only wonderful thing about it--it was 55 degrees this am.
Someone noted that their plebe summer couldn't be really bad with weather
like that.  Terre

Hi All:
If anyone has a mid at USAFA this semester, and would like to hear 
information/tips , please e-mail me directly.  My son Zach (CO 25, '00) was 
privileged to be chosen last year and I enjoyed it tremendously from a 
parent's perspective.  I attended Parent's weekend and was welcomed 
enthusiastically by all as a Navy parent. They also have a USAFA fam net 
(similar to our parent's net). I also got connected on line with Air Force 
parents who had cadets at USNA and had questions for me !
A wonderful opportunity for Zach. Even though he broke his hand and his leg 
out there (had surgery !), it was a tremendous experience. 
This weekend he is in Denver to be in the wedding party of a cadet friend 
class of '99 (also a high school friend).  Then he flys back to USNA for his 
firstie year ! It has all happened so fast !

Dear friends,

Just heard from my son that he will be one of the ensigns assigned to
Dahlgren on Thursday and Friday at the Off-Shore Varsity Sailing Team
table during PPW. (Of course, plans are always subject to change) SO, if
you see the table, ask for DUFFY CULLY - he'll be glad to tell you the
joys of racing '44's. He is just back (safely) from Corpus Christi where
he helped his crew win Sun.'s race.

Fly Navy! Sail too!

TO ALL,

this will be my last post until I get back home on Monday the 16th.  On July 
2 and 3 and 4 .......and..........I thought I would never get through this 
experience sanely. I was consumed with thoughts and fears and anxiety and 
just pure old wonder.  A mom from our parents club in Southern CA. Told me 
about this network and I have relied on your support, your experience, your 
suggestions, your humor and your compassion since that day.  

PPW is finally here and I have never been so well prepared for en event in my 
entire life.  I can't imagine what it has been like for those who have not 
tuned in over the last several weeks.  

Thank you immensely.  I promise I will try to do my part in carrying on this 
great tradition.  GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!!!

I have a question about driving privileges for youngsters. When my son was
at the academy ('95) they could have a car and drive but not park it in the
area of the academy or stadium. Parking was on the basis of personal leased
town space or their sponsors. I have heard from some that youngsters can not
own or drive cars at all. Anyone out there have the current ruling on this?

Youngsters and Plebes may not keep a car anywhere near the Academy; nor may
they drive one anywhere near it except when on leave.

sent son's adopted sponsor mom a note about his arrival at the "zoo".  she 
sent back a great description of the plebe championship bsktball game that 
was played sun nite as one of son's best buddies coaching his plebes.  said 
that the whole thing was absolutely a controlled riot with plebes and 
detailers alike having one hell of a lot of fun; plebe band wailing away, 
plebes and detailers screaming, plebes being passed over the crowd, and on 
and on.  said it was "like watching a hyper kindergarten class!"  the word is 
the plebe class has some talent in bsketball!!

all is not work, and drudgery!!  it has been my impression that the Navy 
KNOWS these young people need to blow off steam and they give them the right 
venue to do it-especially when they have done well at something!!  lots of 
things they do are fun, even the training evolutions!!

hope ya'll have a good time at PPW!

Nancy,

All Mids must report by 18:00 (6:00 PM) on August 20.
Permanent rooms won't be assigned the day before.  You Mid
should go to the main office and check in with NASP (Naval
Academy Summer Program) who will find a room for your Mid
with the Transient Company.  Just verified this all with my
son, who then added, "But I'd just stay with my sponsor
family."

Hope this helps.

Hello,
All of a sudden I am not able to open the tracking web site for the USNA YP 
cruise. It states forbidden access. Is anyone else having that problem? I 
have used AOL and Netscape and I get the same message from both.

Well, my son is at the Country Club Academy and I think he's in shock.  The 
first thing he told me was about the room--carpet, air conditioning, one 
roommate (who has a TV, DVD player, stereo and small refrigerator).  He was 
really disappointed he can't take free fall this semester (God is answering 
my prayers), but will take glider.  Nothing safer than a plane with no 
engine!!  This semester may be as difficult for me as plebe year.  I'm 
comfortable with the Yard, etc.  Would love to hear from anyone else with 
mids on the exchange program.  Terre Vardaman
