aspen - thanks for the info on the tickets. I had been looking for that. Do you (or anyone else) know what one does to get more than 2 tickets per cadet specifically for A-Day or if that is an issue at all? We have other folks who want to come.

The tickets are only in case of rain on R-Day (not A-Day).

Hopefully, you and your cadet candidates will have fair weather.

Good Luck!

All the pictures indicate that the skies are blue and this link says it's a very nice 80 degrees. Perfect for R-Day. Thunderstorms are predicted for later in the afternoon and evening. Here's hoping for an Oath Ceremony where all the family members can find their cadets.

USMA Weather

Good luck to all! Yes, the tears will stop at some point.

Ann,
Thanks for posting the photos. I don't want to sound dumb, but did that all happen today June 30, 2008?

Yes, it's all happened this morning. Last year, when I was sitting home doing the "Where's Walda" game, there ended up being several hundred pictures (if memory serves me) displayed on the first day with many more added the following day(s).

Stay tuned.

Wow - it must be that Army efficiency!

My D just returned from SLS. Last night she finally shared that she enjoyed her experience and that she plans to apply. No doubt I will be calling upon you and the other parents for advice and counsel.
