Seriously, no way ... if it's going to cost a special liberty this is where any self respecting Kings Pointer/Sailor should be spending Columbus Day...
have your student check out the need to be there for the football game. Also, now the Plebes can actually get restrictions, so make sure that has not happened either. Our son's plebe year, we went up to KP to visit just to be on the safe side.
CMAKIN: was drinking age 18 at that time? My DS mentioned that the only thing his uniform was getting him was the possibility of drinks. If they are under 21 but in uniform, do the bars, restaraunts, clubs, whatever look the other way and serve them anyway. I didn't ask him if he drank anything and don't know if he would have told me. I do know that he didn't drink while he was here and this, being his first year, was just wondering.
