I know that when I was a frequenter of this board as a high school student this place was filled with other students looking for question and insight into the academy. It was a great place to come and find others sharing the same experience and hopefully find a few midshipman around to answer your questions.

It seems it has become more of a political and news story/ parent site. This is not a bad thing, but I just hope that there can still be a place for those kids to come, and talk about what they’re getting themselves into and have a place to get questions answered for themselves. I notice many of the other schools still have a forum where students can come to find advice and to find future classmates.

As a current midshipman, I know how invaluable it was to me a few years ago on my way into the Naval Academy. I encourage the parents here to ask your kids if they have any questions, maybe they will enjoy being able to talk to other candidates and midshipman and help make more sense of it all. :)
