I thought that it would be a great idea to have a thread for the count down for R-Day. 47 days left?
WOW!
Hey Shellz, Pics look good. I'll be scooping on some of those hats.
Luigi and Shellz, are ya'll going to be there on Parent Weekend this year?

Quick question: On R-day, besides in the bookstore, are there alot of regional parent associations selling CGA memorabilia?
Thanks!
Here's something we saw at the exchange to help increase your anticipation a bit
Time seems flying by. Still haven't received the acceptance packet (the one you get after you accept an appointment)
I have a quick question about my son's passport. He has a current passport that is good through 2012, but not 2014 like the CGA information states. When he got his a couple of years ago they were only issues for 5 years since he was a minor. My question is "will this passport be acceptable?' or do we need to start the renewal process? If I remember correctly, they take your old passport when they process the renewal and I don't want him to get there and not have any passport. Plus, his current one is good through 2012, for another two years. Does anyone know what we should do in this case?
USCGA Cadet Handbook said:Make sure you have a U.S. Tourist Passport valid through June 1, 2014. The process to obtain a passport can take up to eight weeks, so plan accordingly.
If your passport will not arrive before R-Day, arrange for someone to send it to you via certified mail to arrive no later than July 22, 2010.

We were in the same situation, hired a passport service and had it expidited. I think it took about 3 weeks to get the adult passport which is good for 10 years.
Passport service will cost ($100) but they walk you thru it and get it fast.
