You would not have been alone!

One very industrious woman put this video together for the 2013 class at USAFA. Thought you might like to see it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHX1gEMKUyM&feature=share Enjoy!

Thanks Packermatt7! Now, just do that every morning and all of us moms will be happy! ;-)

I would like to know about electric blankets. Are they okay to have? I hear that the heat in the dorms can be sketchy in the winter, and it seems sensible to have something to supplement during the cold periods.

Okay, now I've had some time to think about this...and I would like to have a few examples of what would get you one of these infamous forms.... Hey, this is what happens when you are up half the night with a magnifying glass looking at Webguy photos. Capini

Thanks guys! Now I can stop worrying that he might get one of them and be denied Doolie Day Out or Parents Weekend! I swear, this whole thing has to be harder on the parents then the basics. Sort of. Capini
