Tips for new cadet
parents from Deb Dalton, WPPC Coordinator: Have your cell phones
at the ready during the Ice Cream Social on July 15 between 1:00
- 5:00. Give your cadet a small wallet-size card with important
phone numbers. They will not have access to their cell phones
and may not remember phone numbers.
Practice R Day is Friday, June
26. To volunteer, get more info at

announced... the Ice Cream Social for the new cadets will
be held on July 15. This is generally the first time that
the new cadets can call home, not to mention that they get
a much needed small break from Beast.

Read a
letter of introduction from Deb
Dalton, West Point's official parent resource.
For 2009 and 2013, in
particular. A parent shared this article about
The Class of 2009 R Day,
written way back in 2005. We've all come a long way, haven't we?
For the class of 2013, this is a great description of the R Day
ahead of you.

USCC has announced that they will no longer authorize the
pre-purchase of boots. As the tan boots require no "break in
period," USCC wants all candidates to wait until they report
and be properly fitted for their boots. One less thing to
take care of before R Day!
