What do we bring for NASS?

[pezska]

ITEMS TO BRING WITH YOU
You will be issued six Summer Seminar t-shirts, a pair of sweat pants, and a sweat shirt. You only need to bring 1 – 2 sets of civilian clothes for travel and academic workshops. Dress is informal but neat in appearance. Shorts or pants must be tasteful, please do not wear shorts or pants that are tattered, torn, or have holes. Closed toe shoes are required for daily events (i.e. sandals are not acceptable). (The temperatures may be in the 80's, 90's, or 100’s with possible showers, and high humidity. Due to the exceptionally high temperatures in Annapolis in June, shorts are encouraged). Remember, you will have physical training at 5:30am every day without the ability to do laundry.
Be sure to bring:

1. Appropriate athletic shorts (4 pairs)
2. Socks (10 - 12 pairs)
3. Undergarments (10-12 pairs)
4. Towels (2-3)
5. Twin size bed linens (1 set)
6. Pillow and pillowcase
7. Toiletries and shower flip flops
8. Running shoes (You might want to bring a second pair of older running shoes for the Team Building Exercises).
9. Swim Suit. For females, a one piece swim suit is required.
10. Travel alarm clock
11. Photo ID
12. Bring a combination or key lock for clothing lockers.*

You don't really need the 4 pairs of athletic shorts because they will give you some to wear, just make sure not to skimp out on the socks and underwear.

Are we expected to do PT in the NASS t-shirts? Or, are we given an actual PT shirt? I read in another thread how you probably want to do your laundry in he sink.

my DD received 4 different colored t-shirts. she didn't mention which shirt was for which day but it differs per squad.

My son didn't wear any of his civilian clothes last year at NASS, they wore all the t shirts/shorts that they were issued. Also, I recommend packing a black garbage bag to put all the items worn during "wet and sandy"..they were REALLY nasty and not something you'd want to pack next to your clean clothes!! Have a GREAT time!!!!!

You will be given one PT shirt and you will just have to wash it out if you want to. Washing it in the sink didn't really clean it but it subdued the smell a little. I suggest a trash bag for dirty clothes and an extra pair of shoes that you wouldn't mind throwing away after the "wet and sandy" portion. I ended up throwing most of my clothes from the mock sea trials away anyway just because there was no hope for getting them clean

I don't mind being wet and sandy I dig for clams, collect oysters, and catch crabs in the marshes.

I will bring that trash bag though.

Yep..my son loved it too!!!!!! BUT for the ONE who does the laundry..
(in my house its usually me) the trash bag will be GREATLY appreciated!! lol!

Now that Session 1 of NASS 2011 is over, perhaps there is some advice from those who attended, including parents who picked DS/DD up today? I'm two years removed from it, but for those coming a long way, if they can cut down on the gear that they bring with them, it would probably be appreciated.
