I don't really think its necessary to send any moleskin, band-aids, etc for foot blisters, as I think I remember being issued all that. Antibiotic cream is a great idea though. For a first package: disposable lighters (2), tide pen, antibiotic cream, picture for the cork board, favorite...

Thank you for your support of the Navy "clicker" spirit spot. My friend and I made it....I also played a small acting role in it (the Air Force cadet in the taxi)

I'll probably be going...we'll see

First off, you probably won't be getting your permit to report package for a few months. I assume you have recieved an LOA but not an appointment yet? Also, there are always conflicting opinions and arguments on what to bring to I-Day. Having gone through I-Day about four months ago, bring...

Yep, they leave this Saturday immediately after the game. I will be the first to sign up for it next year.

We're coming on 7 days till we get to go home. :shake:
