Anyone going to this class?

I am, but I am supposed to ship on the 8th of july....what are we going to do for 2 weeks? Any ideas?

Have they devised a way to spit shine suede?

Yeah, I think a bic razor and canteen water does the trick

Yeah, I ship the same day. I suppose we'll go through clothing issue, medical, dental, finance, and whatever else you do these days.

I go to WTC on the 9th so I guess I'm in this class as well.

Oh great, got 5-0 in my class....jeez....LOL, j/k, but serious though, sh*t.....

I'm shipping July 9th, and will be in the July 18th Class if all goes well. I'm going to melt.

dont worry, we'll use your canteen cup to carry you in,,, just hope somebody uses mine to carry me.

You really should pack as light as possible.

It bears mentioning: you will fly on a civilian airline, and all the FAA restrictions absolutely apply. No fluids over 3 oz., no knives, leathermen, .45 Nickel-Plated Colts, gasoline, Sawed-off shotguns, yadda, yadda, yadda. Don't bring things you couldn't fly with, or you'll end up tossing them in a garbage can. Especially those knives and multi-tools can seem harmless enough in one's mind, and they can end up packing them without thinking.

I'm pretty excited m'self. Hope our class starts on time, though I'm sure I could use an extra week or two to PT.

I hope y'all love dirt.. and insects! Plenty to spare at WSMR! (Oh and Rabbits, and Oryx and Caribou, etc)

Keep one thing in mind all the time: HYDRATE.

Also, congrats to you all and I hope you have fun.

Hey SGT, just remember to drop that 'R' when you sound off here. To practice just sorta grunt (kidding kidding - prior Navy myself).
