    XC Question

    I plan on being a walk-on for the cross country team. Am I allowed to bring another backpack on R-day with running apparel (running shorts, cotton tees, ect), or do 4/c get issued athletic gear that we must wear to athletic practices?

    RISE?

    Thanks for the info on the RISE program. I think I will pass on this event in order to spend more time with my family. Has anyone participated in LIFE and suggest that as well?

    Bottom Retainer and Form?

    I was considered "Qualified" by DODMERB back in December, but I do not remember filling out an orthodontic questionnaire. At my physical I was just asked if I had worn braces (4 years ago) and wear a retainer (which I have for 4 years). Should I be worried that I did not have to file a separate...
