Update: DS was admitted again to the hospital, twice because his legs gave out. It is physical exhaustion, mental breakdown, dehydration, and home sickness all mixed together. He has expressed thoughts of leaving the academy at the end of Indoc. We have told him to stay the course and see how it...

Today is Day 7 of Indoc for our plebes. How are we all feeling? I will admit it was tough going at first coming back to an empty house and not knowing what DS was going through. But then he called two days ago from the hospital (he was admitted for throwing up twice). We managed to talk for a...

Wondering if you could put us in touch with someone in our area as well. I will DM you my location.

@futureusmcmom24 and @TXMomof3 have you joined the fb group for Parents of USMMA 2028 yet? If you haven't, please do so we can connect on a more public network, i.e. if you'd like to. :)

Same here. My DS is not the least bit bothered with his TD from USNA and USAFA since he looked up USMMA opportunities. He is also very excited about the smaller class size. He comes from a school where his graduating class is 2000 strong! One of the academy forums we went to last year, the rep...

I just got accepted yesterday night. Will introduce myself soon. Hope to catch up with you on there.

Thank you. He was already leaning towards USMMA before USNA TD came out. He is very happy with his choice, though he does want to commission at this point. But four years is a long time to change your mind. I'd be happy either way.

Looks like this is the one I requested to join last night. Had to answer a few questions. I am excited to learn the process and get going with the next stage.

I searched for it on fb. There were several groups that popped up. I hope I sent request to join with the right one. @Bduett and @Boymomof3 have you joined the fb group? Can I DM you to find out which one to join?

Thank you. We already checked his latest passport (he's had one since he was a year old) and it is valid for another two years. We will apply for TWIC card this week. Can't wait for this next step in the process. He is excited and is not least bit disappointed with the USNA rejection. He has...

Thank you. I am excited for my DS to get the prep started.

After waiting, what felt like eons, the DS had a definitive answer to USNA (TD). He promptly emailed USMMA admissions with his acceptance. For those of you who have already accepted USMMA appointments, can you shed light on what is the process to prep for admissions going forward? When does he...

Just checked the portal. Turned down. Which is fine. Because the DS was leaning towards USMMA anyways. Now he can accept the USMMA appointment.

TX MOC. Still pending.
