Soon to be Midshipman?

I believe there is room here for everyone…
students and candidates seeking advice,
parents seeking guidance and support,
alumni offering insight into days gone by
and current Mids who, when time allows, update the above to current practices-
and even GA, who kindly keeps us all abreast of the many, many USNA-related activities that go on the yard…of interest to many.

The KEY is to start a thread with the question being asked- or the item being reported…
and the scroll button works wonders to get through items that may not be pertinant to the individual reader at the time.

starzfun- it is great to have a Mid here to post- a few do, but we could all benefit from more of you, as the view on the yard can look different depending on where you are viewing it from… plebe, youngster, 2C or firstie… company…rank…athlete…D&B…etc…

the thing to remember is that not one person can paint the entire picture- it is different for everyone, as each can only view it from their own perspective and experience. So while I understand your goal, IMO it would be selling the information “short” …

so what I will suggest is tolerance for everyone who comes here looking to share information based on their experience- as Mid, alumni, parent, student, candidate, etc…

and with respect for your view- a gentle reminder that while it is true you may be the one on the yard “doing it,” it is not a journey you take alone- not by a long shot!
