<p>Now would be the time for the parents that have children that will be attending a service academy to contact your local Parents Clubs. The Parents Club is an excellent source of imformation and support.</p>
<p>YOU ARE ALL ABOUT TO EMBARK ON A GREAT JOURNEY.</p>
<p>Yes, it feels like we are already on a journey, and our appointees aren't even there yet!</p>
<p>In our case, the parents club (Navy) contacted us. We were invited to what looks like a pretty fancy affair at the end of May for all the appointees and their families. The club seems very well organized. We get regular email updates on academy news (especially sports) and it has already been a good informational resource.</p>
<p>For Navy folks, there is a USNA parents site (usnaparents.com) that gives you more information about the clubs.</p>
