Fellow USNA-Net members, Can it be a year already? It was September of last year when USNA-Net first began operations using our own private server. We've grown a lot in that time... - We've added over 2 million words of Advice and Support to our Archives. - We've added hundreds of photographs to our Photo Gallery. - There are new Wallpapers, Screen Savers and Postcards for our members to use. - Our www.USNA-Net.org Web Site has grown to over 450 pages of information. - We now host 17 local Parents Club Web Sites at no costs to the clubs. - We launched our Safe Harbor Program with over 750 volunteer families registered to render assistance any hour of the day or night to Mids on three continents. - We've added 650 new families to our membership with the Class of '06. - And Plebe Summer is again just a memory. It's been a wonderfully fulfilling year, indeed. We were able to do all of this because of your generosity. Last year when we asked for your support, your response was overwhelming and in just six days last September, we reached our Fund Raising goal. While every hour of time provided by all of those who volunteer to operate USNA-Net, either directly or indirectly, is donated without compensation, we still incur real operating expenses for our server and its connection to the Internet. So we will need your help again this September to help us defray our expenses and keep USNA-Net on the Internet and fulfilling its Mission of "Parents Helping Parents." For those of you who have contributed in the past, we are asking that you do it again - only once, this fall, for the next 12 months. For those of our members who are new to USNA-Net, especially those members of the Class of '06 who were helped so much during Plebe Summer, we ask that you take a moment to send in whatever you can afford. So many of you have written to express your thanks for all that our lists have meant to you as you left your Plebes on I-Day and had to endure the rigors of separation with only your friends on USNA-Net to help you get through the summer. This is now your opportunity to say thank you to the entire group with a donation to help keep us going for another year. Rest assured, we totally understand the restraints on family budgets. It's tough sometimes to come up with a few extra dollars. If you can't send something now, we understand. BUT... We like to think of ourselves as the Internet equivalent of Public Television. If you send in your donation, you get to watch PBS. If you don't, you still get to watch all of the same programs but you just don't get to feel quite as good about it. And "our" PBS station will only ask for donations ONCE a year. :>) You can find all of the details about how to donate on our web site's main page by clicking on the blue DONATE button in the middle of the page. We have published our ANNUAL budget there for your information as well. On-line donations via our secure server may be made using your Visa or Mastercard with total security and absolute privacy. If you prefer, there is also an address there to which you may mail a check. Again, thanks so much for your continued support of USNA-Net.

But we also know that we need to raise the money to insure our continued operation and so far, 50 of you have responded with a donation to help offset our expenses. (Many, many thanks to those who have given so generously.) We're need to hear from a lot more of you. We have 2,500+ members including over 600 new '06 parents. We're pretty sure that we made a really big difference in your lives over the past months. Now we need your help. We don't ask for huge donations. We don't want to break the bank or disrupt your family budget but we really do need enough to insure that we can continue our operation for the next 12 months.. We've made it as easy as we could for you to do your part. You may donate on-line using our secure server at www.USNA-Net.org/donate02/donate.html OR visit our web site at www.USNA-Net.org and click on the DONATE button on the main page. OR if you prefer to make your donation using a check, make it out to USNA-Net and mail via Regular US Mail to: USNA-Net 1457 E. Crossings Place Westlake, OH 44145 Your help and generosity will be greatly appreciated by all of us who work to make USNA-Net the finest Parental Support Group on the Internet. Please do your part.

Thank you to the members who have sent in a donation so far to help offset our operating expenses for the coming year. Your generosity is very much appreciated. It is truly heartwarming to know that you realize just how much USNA-Net has meant for you and your family and want to insure it's continuation for the next 12 months. So far, we've received $4,390 in donations. We just passed 70% of our fund raising goal for the year. If just a few more of you go to the web site and click on the "Donate On-Line" button in the middle of the main page, we'll attain our goal in record time. It only takes a minute to send us something using Visa or Mastercard and the process is totally secure, using the highest level of encryption possible. Remember all those days during your Plebe Summer when you lived for the next email from USNA-Net? How about sharing just a few dollars in support of our organization in order to insure that it continues for the Class of '07 and beyond? If you don't help, who will? We've been trying to keep the results of the fund drive up to date on the Donation page so that you could see our progress as the week went by. It won't be updated quite so frequently for the next couple of days because Sandi and I will be attending the Navy/NC State Football game on Saturday. If you attend the game and want to catch up with us, you can find us tailgating outside Gate C (Blue Side) before and after - and in Section 127 Row 4 during the game. Hope to see you there.

We have reached our goal of $6,250 in just SIX days and will be able to continue with yet another year of uninterrupted operation, providing all of our members with the very best in Advice and Support between parents of USNA Midshipmen available anywhere on the Internet. It is because of your generosity that we will be able to continue web hosting at no charge for 17 local Parents' Club Web Sites with more sites being added in the coming year; we will be able to continue to maintain our already huge archives of email advice which currently hold almost 9 Million total words of great advice going back over four years; we will have ample storage space for the growing number of photos in our Photo Gallery; we will be able to maintain our Classified Ads for the benefit of soooo many members who use it regularly; we will be able to continue our Safe Harbor Program for the benefit of all Mids regardless of whether or not their parents are members of our service; and most of all... we will be able to continue the operation of our many lists, providing daily advice and support for our members. We couldn't have done it without your support. Thanks to all who took the time to donate. YOU are the real reason this service is so special. If you missed this opportunity and still wish to send in a donation, we will be leaving our donation form and snail mail address (for checks) up on the web site for the rest of the week. But rest assured that having met our goal, we will be in fine financial health for the coming year. Thanks again for all that YOU have done for our organization so that we may continue to help all of our members as we survive the Academy experience along with our Midshipmen. One more request... Please remember that our lists cannot exist without YOUR daily input. It is only because YOU write in with questions and concerns and because YOU take the time to answer those questions "on the lists" that our organization is so useful to so many other members. WRITE TO THE LISTS and allow others to benefit from your experiences and knowledge of what it takes to be a Midshipman's parent. Thanks again...

The following message is typical of what they look like... ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Worm Klez.E immunity Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning, and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me. ---------End of Original Message------- Notice the poor grammar and the improper use of certain words. This is a carrier message for the KLEZ VIRUS and will infect your machine if you open it. DON"T BE FOOLED BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO HAVE COME FROM SOMEONE YOU KNOW & TRUST !!! The Klez virus selects a name at random from the infected computer's address book and uses that address as the FAKE "From" address on all of the copies it sends out. REMEMBER USNA-NET DOES NOT SEND OUT ATTACHMENTS !!! Our server is incapable of passing one through. Since the attachments are the actual virus, if you don't open the attachment, you won't get the infection. A safer method is to ALSO have antivirus software running and up to date. AT LEAST A DOZEN OR MORE OF OUR MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY INFECTED with one or more viruses. Don't say it isn't you because these members have been infected for weeks or even months. Every time they turn on their computers I get a copy of this or that virus - more than a dozen each day. Please install an antivirus program today. It's possibly YOU who is sending out these terrible attachments to all our Navy Family, everyone in YOUR address book. Do your part. Do it today.

I have received many questions about the recent flurry of email messages with short subjects, sometimes no text inside the message and with attachments. For the benefit of all our members, please read this in its entirety. A relatively new V1RUS has been circulating as an attachment to email. It is called Klez and it usually "appears" to come from someone you know in a short email, sometimes with nothing in the body of the message. Klez is NOT from the person it says it is from. It arrives in an attachment. You get infected by opening the infected attachment. And if it is not detected in time, it will destroy other files on your computer, crippling it a little at a time until on a trigger date, twice a year, it will erase all of the files and software on your computer's hard drive. This computer equivalent of a lobotomy will reduce YOUR computer to a $1,000 paperweight. It WILL happen. Please don't wait to check. If you're infected, your computer could stop working at any time without any notice and there is nothing anyone can do to restore it once it is gone. Here's how the virus works. Once you open an infected email, the virus uses a name it selects at random from the infected computer's address book as the FROM address and send copies of itself out to everyone in the infected computer's address book. Therefore, if you have corresponded with someone who subsequently gets the virus and you are in their address book, the virus might use YOUR address as the from address on the new copies it sends out even though YOU don't have the virus. You have seen several of these viruses attempt to post themselves to our lists in the past few days. They look like empty messages. In fact, they WERE virus laden email, sent by an infected member to our lists but our server software has stripped the attachments (which contain the virus) and discarded them, leaving only the empty (and totally innocent) carrier email to be sent on to our members. If it weren't for our software on our USNA-Net server, you would all have received several copies of this deadly virus in the past several days. USNA-Net lists are SAFE. Not all mailing lists use this software. You should be very careful to not participate in mailing lists which do not strip attachments before sending them to the lists. If you receive any sort of picture file, background, HTML or Rich Text message from a mailing list, they are NOT stripping attachments and you CAN get viruses from their email. Please be careful. More information about Klez may be found at... http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99367 Now for one last item... There are still about twenty members of our lists who HAVE the Klez virus at this very moment. Since the virus fakes the return address, there is no way to determine who sent them but I receive at least 12 to 18 such viruses EVERY DAY. I have good protection (Sandi and I use McAffee AV software) but what I just can't understand is how any adult could operate in today's world, sending/receiving email and connecting to the Internet while not checking their computer for viruses - not using good, up-to-date AV software all the time. Yet as you read this, at least 20 of our members are doing just that. They are infected and are unknowingly spreading the virus to all of us who are in their address books. You see, as Moderator, I'm probably in several thousand address books, so every time one of you gets infected, I'm among the first to get another copy of the virus from YOU. Please, if you don't have (or don't know if you have) AntiVirus software installed on your Windows based computer, get it today and get it installed before you infect everyone in your address book!!! It's not enough to just have AV software installed and running. It must be current and up-to-date with the latest information on the latest versions of these viruses. If you bought it a year ago and never updated it since, you could actually contract the latest variant of Klez and you wouldn't even know you were infected until it was too late. Updates can be downloaded from your AV software supplier for free but you have to do it and do it at least every two weeks. It's time each of you acted responsibly. Please protect your computer. For YOUR sake and the safety of others with whom you correspond.

This just in from the USNA Base Operations Officer. Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested. Please direct your questions about this to the Base Operations Office. - MZ "All, Our current FONA procedures and policies have led to confusion in several instances. I'd like to clarify the issues and we will revise the instruction to reflect the same. FONA passes will be issued to parents of Midshipmen without regard to home of record. In addition, their is no requirement for frequency of visits. Simply by virtue of having a son or daughter in the Brigade entitles parents to a FONA pass. Company Officers are required to submit necessary data using the template provided by the USNA Security Office. Incomplete or incorrectly filled out spreadsheets will be returned, resulting in processing delays. Rental cars will be handled in one of two ways: 1) A parent in possession of a FONA pass for their POV who travels to USNA via rental car should bring their FONA pass with them. They should present their identification, rental agreement and FONA pass to the clerk at Pass & ID and a temporary vehicle pass will be issued for the length of their visit. 2) A parent who travels to USNA solely via rental vehicle will be issued a FONA pass on which the vehicle information will be labeled "Rental." Gate sentries may request the rental agreement and driver's license to verify access. Company Officers will be the authorizing official for all Midshipmen parent FONA passes. Only PARENTS of midshipmen may apply for and be issued FONA passes. Other family members, fiancies, and girl/boyfriends are not eligible. In the event a non-parent relative is acting in a non-loco parentis capacity or a non-parent is the guardian of a midshipman, contact the Security Officer. Company Officers shall not authorize FONA passes for their own families or acquaintances nor for those of the Company SEL."

A quick phone call to Davor (their 800 number is listed in our Site Index on our web site) revealed the following OFFICIAL information... 1. Davor has taken MOST but not all of the Plebes' photos. Some will be taken/retaken in October because for one reason or another a few Plebes were missed. 2. All Proof for photos already taken will be mailed out by September 24th. You should allow a week for delivery and soooooo.... If you don't have your proofs by September 30th you should call the 800 number and inquire about them. Please do not call before then as the proofs will probably still be in the mail. 3. The proofs for about 1,125 Plebes were mailed over the past couple of weeks. This means that some of you have them and others are still in transit. It also means that about 100 Plebes have yet to have their photos taken and will be given the opportunity to be photographed in October. Alert your Plebe if they haven't had their photos taken yet. 4. This information is only about Plebe Proofs. Firsties and other Mids have yet to have their photographs taken. Those sittings will be happening in October.

Just a short note about Fund Raising... It was noticed that the West-Point.Org is again raising money for the support of their organization. This time they are asking for $106,000 for the next six months. Last time it was $111,000 for the past six months or $217,000 annually. PLEASE NOTE... WP.Org and the over 120 mailing lists it supports are not USNA-Net !!! We do not receive any of the money they raise for the use of West Point Alumni and Parents. We ran USNA-Net's Annual Fund Raiser beginning on September 1st and raised our entire ANNUAL budget of $6,250 in just six days thanks to our many generous members. As we promised, we will NOT be asking for funding for our lists again until next September. All of USNA-Net's web sites and mailing lists... USNA-Net, USNA-Family, USNA-Plebe, USNA-Sports, USNA-Prayer and USNA-Info (plus USNA-07, a new list for incoming '07 members) are totally supported and funded through that ONE Annual Fund Raiser and we are NOT asking for money again at this time. By sending out this little reminder, we hope to avoid confusion for those members who may have heard about the WP-Org fund raiser and were wondering. This is their Semi-Annual attempt by West Point Alumni to raise money for the support of their 24,000+ Alumni and Parent members. Please know that USNA-Net is fully funded for the coming year and does not need any additional monies. Thank you all again for your generous support and many, many donations earlier this month. We are proud to be the ONLY Naval Academy Web Site and Support Group funded entirely by Parents of Midshipmen and Sponsor Parents. Thanks again, Mike and Sandi Zets Westlake, OH mzets@USNA-Net.org Moderators - USNA-Net Listservers PS. Our web sites now include our main site at www.USNA-Net.org and 17 additional web sites hosted at no charge for USNA Parents Clubs across the country.
