<p>Congrats! NAPS is a great experience!</p>
<p>That said, you'll get a SECNAV nomination next year automatically, so as long as you make the grade, you're in!</p>
<p>Be careful, though. My NAPS class took it in the shorts. Of the almost 300 M/C's that started with me on August 1, 1986, fewer than 50 graduated with me from USNA on May 29th, 1991. My first NAPS roomate was one of them. We sat next to each other at our graduation.</p>
<p>Yes. We both cried like idiots when the covers went up!</p>

<p>Well hi all again. It's been a while. Best wishes to 2010. We've already had several students this weekend for candidates visit and they are all very eager. It's cold here. Drink hot cocoa and dance.</p>
<p>~em</p>
<p>omg...it's you! haven't heard from you in a long time. how are you? how's everything?</p>
<p>Congrats fiterace87!! We are waiting for our son's appointment package to come in. Our son got his LOA last week and the BGO said he should receive the paperwork shortly. We're the parents of asward. Congrats and good luck to all 2010 candidates!</p>
<p>2010M&D: Congrats to your son. Does he have a Presidential Nom or has he received him MOC nomination? Either way, an LOA is a pretty awesome piece of mail. It makes nominations much easier to get. Be sure to let us all know when the appointment package arrives in the mail. Again, congrats to your son. You sound very proud.</p>
<p>Thanks. He got a Presidential Nomination. Best of luck to all!!</p>

<p>Now that the easy part is over.....</p>
<p>Celebrate, but keep your eye on the ball. Four years, and it's going to take more commitment than you think you may have. </p>
<p>One day at a time, and remember that USNA is the worst place in the world to be AT, but it's the best place in the world to be FROM.</p>
<p>Good luck! :-)</p>
<p>APan5: Congratulations on your appointment to the "HOTTEST US Service Academy"--four 2006 Rhodes Scholars--more than any other university--three Rhodes Scholars from USNA last year :)--third post-season bowl game Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, Annapolis, the Sailing Capital of America. You're gonna love it! Start running...</p>
<p>2010mom&dad congrats on Asward! You guys are in for some kind of ride during the next year. Its a wild one too! Better begin that scrapbook now. Its the devil trying to keep up with all the documents and photos. Know you're feeling overwelmed. Its the best isn't it?! And Zaphod couldn't be more correct. When Asward gets there just keep saying "One day at a time". GO NAVY!! ( from a USMMA Mom :D )</p>
<p>Jamzmom,
Thanks for supporting Navy football! Navy will be playing in a post-season bowl game (after defeating USMA on Dec. 3 on CBS TV) on December 22 in San Diego! It will be a major PARTAY since San Diego is such a historic Navy town, great weather, great team(s). I will have a housefull of mids and we can either drive or take the train to San Diego! This might just make up for Plebe Summer...</p>
<p>Usna09 mom - where do you hail from? We are thinking about the bowl game...but don't really know what we're doing and if we did go, we'd wanna hook up with folk....</p>
<p>1,000 Poinsettia Bowl tickets sold in 24 hours. For more information:

<p>GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! BEAT CSU! (Colorado State University)</p>
<p>Yeah baaaaa-by! Wish I could be there! Putting up the Xmas tree the minute the turkey carcass goes in the trash. I've got a gold and blue Navy tree this year! Has to be up for game day. I know some of you don't get that Military channel thing but they've got a week special coming on dedicated to the history of this game. Sweet.</p>
<p>Can't make the trip to San Diego (enjoy!) but you betcha we'll be at Phili!!!</p>
