Plebe Net is now open for Parents of the Class of 2012 only.

Schedule of Events & Privileges ~ Class of 2012 (corrected dates)

Plebe-Net is a listserv (email list) for the parents of West Point Plebes. It is intended to allow an exchange of information and support among the parents of 4th class cadets.

The members of this email list are Plebe parents, moderators and a small number of Yearling parents. When you join this email list, you will also be automatically subscribed to the The West Point Parents Net, which is an information only list all USMA parents should be a part of. Prospective candidates and parents (Classes 2013 and beyond) are invited to subscribe to Prospective Net, a forum specifically established to take parents and applicants from the early stages of considering an application and opening a file through seeking nominations, acceptance, preparation, and finally Reception Day (R Day).

All WP-ORG lists other than Prospective Net are for adult immediate family members only. The lists are NOT for cadets or cadet-candidates. It is important to note that one must specify with their subscription their relationship to a cadet. Misinformation will result in expulsion from the list, and releasing the subscription documentation to appropriate Academy personnel if the responsible party is a cadet.

The types of discussions that are allowed will be dictated by the members of the list. Opinions or comments must be becoming of a West Point Parent and the responses must reflect proper decorum. Periodic rule reminders by the moderators will be used to gently reinforce the list rules and as teachable moments for new members.

The provider of this service serves notice that opinions expressed within this list do not reflect the opinion of the provider, nor does the provider necessarily agree with them. If at any time a discussion within the list becomes, in the opinion of the list moderator(s), heated to the point where common decency and courtesy are lost, the moderator(s) reserves the right to end the discussion. 

Email messages posted to Plebe Net are sent as individual email messages to your computer at the email address you subscribe with. If you would rather receive these email messages 'batched' and delivered in one mailing once or twice/day (depending on the number of posts for that day) you may request this when you subscribe. A sample of what the digest version looks like can be found here: Digest Sample.

Indicate how your subscription should be treated.
Normal = when a member posts a message to the list, all members of the list receive the message directly to their subscribed email address
Digest = every 10 messages to the list are batched and sent to digest subscribers in one message. Digest subscribers do not receive the messages at the moment they are sent, but rather on a delayed interval. When a list is very active, some members prefer this option, realizing they will receive the messages later than the "Normal" subscribers. * During CBT Plebe Net is very active with a high volume of email. Recommend digest format for work addresses or better still, create a new email address with a free web service and use that for Plebe Net. Do not use your son/daughter's name in the email address.Recent changes in security settings of Hotmail and MSN are causing problems with the listserv Digest format. If you prefer subscribing to Digest, please create an account with a provider other than Hotmail or MSN.
Remove Me = more information about unsubscribing can be found in the welcome email message. Members may unsubscribe at any time.
