Just wondering, what are good things to bring out for parents weekend that a doolie wouldn't necessarily think of until its too late?
Our just asked for a variety of civilian clothes to wear. We're assuming they're allowed to be out of uniform off base.

That's 100% not true. They're not allowed to wear civvies even at their sponsors house or in a hotel room during parents weekend. Sure, people do it, but it's definitely not allowed.
Technically they can wear PC gear in the hotel room, correct?That's 100% not true. They're not allowed to wear civvies even at their sponsors house or in a hotel room during parents weekend. Sure, people do it, but it's definitely not allowed.
For those who will have sleeping cadets, there is a group of AF parents who will be climbing the incline in manitou springs at 7am Sunday morning. It's quite a climb, but a great workout.
They're definitely allowed to wear PC gear in a sponsor's house or in the hotel room, but if they're unsure, have them reference their 4-degree ROEs.
Saying "they can wear civvies as long as they're sure they won't be seen by an upperclassman" is sort of a ridiculous attitude to have towards blatantly encouraging your child to break academy rules. That's like saying "they can drink underage/cheat on tests/park illegally as long as they don't think they'll be caught."
And yes, I'm aware of the hyperbole.
They can wear PC gear or civvies so long as they are 100% sure they won't be seen by an upperclassman. When DS and his buddies would come over to our house the first thing they did was slip out of their uniforms.

^actually, someone did say that. haleym would have the best understanding of this year's wing-wide regulation, but typically the instruction is to wear PC gear, not civvies, in a hotel room during Parent's Weekend.
If they're just going home for a weekend as an unrecognized 4-dig, technically they should be in PC gear. If they're on leave and have reached their final destination, they're good to wear civvies, whether that's in Castle Rock or California.
