My son received his official letter of appointment today, followed by a phone call of congratulations by our Congressman. A very proud moment indeed.

Needless to say, mom and I are a little freaked out by all of this. I’m glad I found this board, as it has answered a lot of questions, and both proved and allayed a lot of fears ;)

I’m sure there are a lot of other parents out there that are going through the same rollercoaster of emotions that we’re facing - the next four years are going to be tough on everyone, that’s for sure. I’m proud, frightened, sad, exhilarated, and every other emotion you can imagine. I know this is normal, and I have enjoyed reading the archives of previous plebes and their parents.

With that said, I’m looking forward to joining in the discussions over the next several days, months, and years…
