<p>I am sorry that your mids are having a difficult time with the food situation. First it was the lack of quanity and then quality. Now it’s the interpretation of the food groups. Are your mids complaining? Mine told me that this was never a “real issue” for him or the mids that he knows. “Just a bump in the road Dad.” It makes me wonder if the mids are having issues with the food or is it us parents? The only negative that I have heard about the changes is the lack of “work out time.” My personal one is the lack of representation at football games. To some candidates to be, this is the “face” of the academy from a mentors and parents point of view. Deal with issues? Yes, but also know when to move on. I have noticed that there are less questions from prospective candidates. I hope that us parents are not responsible for running them off with our petty and inane threads. This forum is for them, not us. Maybe some of us should start a Naval Academy Parents forum separate from the Service Academies group. Just a thought.</p>
