Waypoints is the podcast of the Sisterhood of Mother B - a group of U.S. Naval Academy graduates who happen to be women. We share stories, ideas, and different perspectives in order to help develop midshipmen, graduates, and each other into the best leaders we can be and to stand up for each other.

The Hiatus
Hello long-suffering Waypoints listeners! Inspired by our 25th reunion this past weekend, we are releasing - FINALLY (after 6 weeks of verrry sloooow editing by our wonderful Chief Editor) - Season 2!
Season 2 starts with Episode 1, where Kate, Jenn, and Jeannette discuss the 21-month hiatus that Waypoints took. TL; DR: life smacked us all in the faces at the same time.
Please join us as we reboot Waypoints for Season 2. Thank you! -
S2E2: SOMB learns from Ms. Janie Mines '80, USNA Distinguished Graduate
After our long hiatus, we are BACK! On Season 2 Episode 2, we talk with Ms. Janie Mines '80 - you may have heard of her. She is not only the first African American woman to gradudate from USNA, but she's the author of No Coincidences - Reflections of the First Black Female Graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and she was selected as a USNA Distinguished Graduate in 2022. We were honored and thrilled to speak with and learn from Janie - and we are excited to share this episode with you all!
And as you listen, please forgive us for the amateur start of the episode - we had some tech issues that our in-house tech support had to address as we tried to start recording. Between that and our excitement over talking with Janie, we were nervous AND late, so don't laugh as we stumble our way through the intro ... and stick with us, because Janie elevates the discussion from the first moment. This discussion was fun, humbling, and unforgettable. -

SOMB learns from Lieutenant General Lori Reynolds, USMC (Ret), Class of '86
Please join Kate and Jeannette as we talk with and learn from LtGen Lori Reynolds, USMC (Ret), class of 1986. One of only two women from '86 to commission into the Marine Corps at graduation, LtGen Reynolds was one of the (very) few, proud...eventually retiring as a three-star. Join us as we learn from her about what it was like to join the Corps in 1986...to play basketball at USNA under Coach Dave Smalley...and to ascend the ranks in the Corps (and change an institution). It was an honor and a pleasure to talk with her - we hope that you enjoy it too!

Episode 27: Sea Stories from CAPT Coward
This week, Shannon and Jeannette bring Sandy Coward, CAPT (Ret) USN, onto the show. CAPT C, USNA '64, knows his way around a sea story... and he was head of the USNA admissions board in the early 90s, spearheading some of the changes that brought more women to Annapolis and recruiting women to join the amazing class of '98 and the also-amazing class of '98-1. Given the tribulations of 2020 so far, we asked him to talk about his life, career, and how to bring about institutional change. Please join us - and put your feet up. It's a long one!
