She has a Presidential nomination.

None of the MOCs for our area have conducted interviews yet; there are still accepting applications through the end of this month. And to add a twist to the whole process, our Representative, Jo Ann Davis, passed away last weekend. So technically, we don't have a Congressional Representative at this time.

Congratulations on dd's Appointment!!!

Our first MOC deadline for applications was just today (dd's has been in forever, it seems), so no interviews until mid-November. Our Senators' deadlines are even later.

3 cheers for GA Girl!! She should be very proud, Mom and Dad too! Will she wait to hear from other universities or is Navy IT? Congratulations all around!

USNA is my daughter's first choice. However, she is working on a Navy ROTC backup plan in case, God forbid, something happens to preclude her induction into the academy next June.

^^^^ITA We love the legacy perks! You will too. Very smart young lady to have a 'just-in-case' plan in the wings.

Just curious why that should make any difference once at USNA. Are not all Midshipmen treated equally no matter what their "heritage" is? Can understand a Prior being font and center but a legacy?

Congrats to your Daughter GA!
Good to have backup plans. Just curious as to those schools.

Everyone gets treated the same - "poorly" during the first year...

It's probably more fun for us as legacy parents than it is for the kids; gives you yet another bond with your son/daughter. Being id'ed as a legacy isn't always great for the legacy mids, especially if mom or dad is a senior officer. Rightly or wrongly I always felt that more was expected from those kids, because they have at least some knowledge of the Navy or Marine Corps. No "special" attention is welcome during Plebe Summer or Plebe Year.

I wasn't a legacy or Navy Junior. I found a couple of Napsters and soaked up as much as I could from those "salty dogs" - especially when it came to rack-making, shoe shining, and room cleaning. Those guys were veritable fonts of knowledge, but there was also a lot of pressure on them to act as good examples for us to follow.

Had my dad been a Captain/Colonel or Admiral/General, I think Plebe year might have been even less pleasant than it was. "Oh, so your daddy is a Captain, is he? I guess you think you're hot stuff, huh, Mister..."

How does the cadre or during the academic year Upperclass even know that a plebe is a legacy? Do they have access to their files or is it purely word of mouth?

Friends son at WP had active duty General's daughter in same squad* during plebe* year, he visited often - was not a good experience for any in the squad*, let alone this young lady.

*Not sure of correct terms at WP
