Yes—a new tradition was born this year! Parents were allowed to view the acceptance parade, and even witness the “pinning on” of the new shoulderboards! Afterwards, there was some much earned and deserved “down time” for the newest members of the wing as they were allowed to briefly celebrate their tremendous accomplishment for a few hours with their parents. KUDOS to the Academy for preserving tradition while being open to change for the good!

momma—Not sure what you mean about the significance of Parent’s Weekend—I’d be willing to bet that most 4 degrees believe that Parent’s weekend will be no less significant to them just because their parents were included in the Acceptance Day. Besides----isn’t Parent’s Weekend for ALL the cadets, and not just the 4 degrees?—This day clearly belonged to the doolies, and ONLY the doolies! Congrats to all of them!
