So what does the decision to scramble (or shuffle) Plebes (and sometimes Mids) mean for them? Listen to the latest podcast episode based on my blog post "The Deja Vu of Scrambling and Shotgunning... Why do they matter?" available at USNAMidMomsandMore.org/my-blog
Staying on Mission
My goal 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!
