usna midmoms and more

As I have mentioned before and talk about in my book, A USNA MOM'S JOURNAL, when our USNA journey began, and especially after I-Day, I was feeling sad, empty, and felt like crying for no reason.

Shifting Perspectives and Semper Gumby

You may or may not find that your Plebe-to-be has become very introspective, quiet, perhaps withdrawn or even downright argumentative or moody. I can tell you that it is a normal reaction.

“I Do” – Two Little Words that Changed Our Lives

I realized that the moment my first incoming Plebe took the Oath of Office and said "I do!" in 2013, he said it on behalf of our family as well. Our family's life changed to the single focus of supporting our children - we were also saying "I do!" to the oath and to military …
