Our mid has a few friends on GT’s lax team that have come to visit him a few times in Annapolis— not sure where they get the ride, but they come by car.



I know they don’t get a lot of free time, but the football games sound like a great idea. Georgetown’s team isn’t the best (but getting better)



don’t worry- GT creams us at Basketball… :(



I doubt it would be hard to convince other friends to visit cadets.



LOL!!! Well, “kay-det” is not something said around Annapolis too much unless it is associated with “Beat Army!” ;)

Cadets- are up at West Point at the Military Academy. They wear gray.
Mids-(Midshipmen)- are at the Naval Academy. They wear white, and then blue, and then white again! Oh- and sometimes khaki.

you are a sweatheart!
just remember… when in uniform, there is no “PDA’s” allowed… (public displays of affection.) Unless, of course, you are a meddling mom- we kiss our mids all the time. :rolleyes:



carmel brownies are my speciality



Now that is one recepie I would love to have!
(ps… peskemom’s cookies are famous… perhaps she will share her secret with the both of us as well!!! )

As for “what to wear”…
just be neat. There is a time and place for everything. But when choosing your outfit, keep in mind the plebes are trying to fly UNDER the radar, if you get my drift.
