Our email server was set up back in February of 2004 to intercept all messages which quote an Original Message in a response and redirect it to the Moderators. The reason for this is that we feel it cuts way down on the size of the mail we all get and it keeps our Archives free of copies of copies of copies of messages and makes reading and searching the archives much easier and faster. When the server sees a message which quotes the entire Original Message in the body of the response, the serve intercepts the message and sends it to us for special attention. This creates extra work for us, stripping the original and forwarding on those messages. So this is a PLEA to set your program to NOT quote the original in your responses. For instructions on how to permanently fix this, visit our web site at... http://www.usna-net.org/mail/original.html (Please note that only USNA-Net mailing list servers are set up this way. The less professional ones allow their members to send along copies of copies of copies - some even allow members to quote entire digest versions. We have the expertise and software to automate our filtering of originals.) Set your program now to NOT quote the original and save your Moderators some extra work. If you need to remind folks about the message to which you are responding, cut and paste a few lines between <<< >>> characters. Thanks. Go Navy...

We get so involved in our Mids at the Academy that we sometimes forget that the Academy, it's buildings and grounds are often used for things other than the education of our Mids. The funerals of many USNA grads are held in the Chapel - and many are buried in the cemetary at Hospital Point. In the very near future there will be two such funerals held at the Academy. On July 19th the funeral and burial of LCDR Eric Kristensen, USNA Class of 1995 will be held. LCDR Kristensen was one of the SEALs killed in the recent Helo crash in Afghanistan. On July 23rd, USNA will host and conduct the funeral and burial service for Vietnam POW and Medal of Honor recipient and Naval Academy Distinguished Graduate retired VADM James Stockdale, USNA Class of 1946. I am told that the officers at the Academy on TAD and the Cadre will line the path from the Chapel to the cemetary in this most solemn ceremony. But it's not only funerals that are held at the Academy. Were you aware that the Superintendent's home is often used for entertaining dignitaries from Washington DC? We were told that this historic home hosts the 3rd or 4th most receptions and parties in the Annapolis/DC area. And on July 22nd, USNA will host the Change of Command Ceremony for the Chief of Naval Operations. The ceremony will be held in T-Court. Admiral Vern Clark will be relieved by Admiral Michael Mullen, USNA Class of 1968. The ceremony is only for invited guests and is not open to the public. Admiral Mullen's previous command was as Commander, Joint Force Command Naples, with operational responsibility for NATO missions in the Balkans, Iraq, and the Mediterranean - AND Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe, responsible for providing overall command, operational control, and coordination of U.S. naval forces in the European Command area of responsibility. <<>> Access to the Academy will be severly restricted on the 22nd and 23rd due to heightened security requirements for the events held on those days.

Here's something different ... The CNO Change of Command Ceremony I mentioned on Thursday will be broadcast LIVE via the web on www.Navy.mil You will remember that Admiral Mike Mullen will relieve Admiral Vern Clark as the 28th Chief of Naval Operations during a change of command ceremony July 22 in T-Court at the Naval Academy. The ceremony will be broadcast worldwide on the official Navy website: www.Navy.mil You will be able to connect via the special CNO Change of Command link under the Streaming Media portion of Navy.mil to see the live webcast at 10 a.m. EDT. One other thing - you may also recall my telling you about the frequency of entertaining at the Superintendent's home (Buchanan House). I said that that this historic home hosts the 3rd or 4th most receptions and parties in the Annapolis/DC area. I was wrong... Buchanan House is the second most entertained in home in the United States...... second ONLY to the White House!!

I've been a bit quiet about it for the past week but I fear that I must remind you that we are in the midst of our Annual Fund Drive which keeps USNA-Net running for the next year. We try not to nag at you constantly or be too intrusive with these requests but in order for this service to survive, we need your help. We're at the half way mark on our way to our annual goal of raising $9,800. The annual budget is detailed on our web site at www.USNA.org behind the blue DONATE button on the main page. So far, we've heard from 261 members who have sent in a check or made an on-line donation to help support our on-going support network. The thing is, we have 3,511 Families enrolled in USNA-Net. If you meant to donate this time around and haven't gotten to it, PLEASE take a moment to send in a donation today. It's purely voluntary as is all the time that the Moderators, Advisors and SysOp put in making this service work, 24/7/365. Donating is quick, easy and 100% secure using our on-line Secure Server. Just click on the blue DONATE button on our main page at www.USNA.org OR... If you're more comfortable with the mail, just make out a check made payable to USNA-Net, Inc. 1457 E. Crossings Place Westlake, OH 44145 Whatever you decide, your assistance is very much appreciated. Remember that USNA-Net is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization and relies upon the generosity of it's members for its continued operation. Without YOUR support, our organization could not maintain our web site, the many associated mailing lists for Parents of Midshipmen and all of the other wonderful programs brought to you by USNA-Net. But let's spend just a minute talking about VALUE. A few days ago, a parent wrote that their family was saving over $1,000 annually on car insurance because of information they got from our Plebe list. While that may be an extreme case, we all know of some way that being a member of USNA-Net has saved us money or passed along information which had a value far greater than what we ever expected. And how can any of us ever put a value on membership in USNA-Net? Face it, we need YOUR support... to continue with the lists... to continue our Safe Harbor Program... to maintain our web site and Archives. We don't need much, but we do need you to actually take a moment to send in a donation... Whatever you can afford this week or this month. To those who have already generously donated to our cause, THANK YOU !!! Please do your part. You just wouldn't believe the new and better things that are on the horizon for this organization! Stuff that will knock your socks off!!! But we need to make sure that we have our financial house in order before we can move on to bigger and better things. Won't you help us to help other parents? Donate today. On behalf of USNA-Net and its 3,500+ other members, Thank you.

Here's a helpful hint that I try to pass along to Plebe Parents in time for PPW... (This even works for Firstie Parents over FPW.) Since most of you will be in Annapolis for Parent Weekend (PPW or FPW), you would do yourself a huge favor if you come home with a copy of the LOCAL YELLOW PAGES. Since Annapolis is a relatively small city, the Yellow Pages are included in the main Telephone Directory. How you come up with a copy is left to you but having a copy over the next four years will be a real blessing, many times over. We know of several members who have asked their hotel and been given an extra copy. While the Directory is available from the phone company, they want a small fortune for mailing you a new copy. You might be able to get one from your Plebe's Sponsor Parents. Be creative but get your hands on a copy to take home. :>) It's the best thing Sandi and I had ever done while Michael was at the Academy. Every time we needed the name of a place to rent, buy or find some item or service, the Yellow pages were there to give us the local addresses and phone numbers. Everything from Storage Centers to Caterers to Wheelchair rentals to beauty salons, day spas and bakeries for Birthday cakes... they're all listed in the local Yellow Pages. Do yourself a favor and find a copy over PPW. Go Navy.

We're trying to wrap up this year's Fund Raiser. We're almost at our goal for the year and we need those of you who have meant to donate but who haven't yet found the time, to do your part to help us with our operating expenses for the next twelve month. USNA-Net is a totally volunteer organization, run BY parents FOR parents of Midshipmen. We are the largest Parental Self-Help organization of our kind in the world. We've watched our membership grow from a handful of parents back in 1998 to over 3,500 Families today and our web site is now over 700 pages of information dedicated to USNA Parents. Keeping that resource on-line and operating all the mailing Lists for Parents generates real costs for server space, software and communications facilities. We've posted our annual budget on the web site. It isn't much in the grand scheme of things but we have to generate the funds to cover those costs. We do this through the generosity of our members. Members like you. So if you value your membership in USNA-Net and the endless stream of Advice and Support you have received since you became a member, please do what you can to help us with our Fund Raiser. You can donate on-line in a matter of minutes by going to our web site at www.USNA.org and clicking on the Blue DONATE Button on the main page. OR... You can send us a check at the address you find there. Either way, we need you to help. It isn't how much you donate, it's the fact that you come forward and help. Your fellow parents are counting on you to do what you can for our organization. We have some really exciting new things in the works but we have to cover our regular operating expenses for the next twelve months in order to make it all happen. Think of it this way, if we asked you for $3.00 per month for a magazine subscription that contained all the news, photos and support you get from USNA-Net, you'd jump at the chance to buy a subscription. Membership in USNA-Net is even better. It doesn't come just once a month. It's delivered right into your home computer every day, 24/7/365. And what magazine can you write to and get back dozens of great answers and words of encouragement within hours? Please. Won't you help us to help other parents? DONATE TODAY.
