<p>nova07 you are right on. Those Plebes that arrive without parents wil do just fine. It is a day for parents and family members to learn much more about the Academy and the whole process. There were many talks that one could attend and it helps those of us without prior Academy experience to understand it much better. Our Mid had a very early reporting time so we spent the day attending the sessions that were available, shopping in the store, attending a picnic and the Induction Ceremony at the end of the day. We truly enjoyed it. As you said, it is more for the parents and less for the Plebe. If you can make it, you will have no regrets. If you cannot make it, your Plebe will do just fine!</p>
