Welcome to the Journey!
Our children have chosen a very unique journey: Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy. As their parents, it is up to us to give them the support and encouragement they will need for the years ahead, not only as Midshipmen, but also as future Naval Officers.
Staying on Mission
My mission is to support, equip, and empower USNA parents with strength, knowledge, and wisdom to navigate this unique journey successfully. MidMoms and MidDads are a different breed: we stick together, we are resilient, we are faithful, we are not strangers but are lifelong friends – even if we have never met. We will always share the lifelong bond of our Mid’s journey and, of course, like our Mids, we Never Give Up the Ship!
