Yes, you get four of the same nice gray workout shirts... but I don't think it's that big of a deal, they're good shirts and you also get a sweet windbreaker. As for the altitude: just run as much as you can until you leave. The cadre understand that people have difficulty with the altitude, and...

Bring a robe as noted on the packing list. It's perfect for the many showers you will take, makes the process nice and easy. Also, as there is no a/c, you may want to bring a light sheet (especially if your sleeping bag of choice is of heavier make). I will openly admit that I was among the...

Candidate number recieved in Minnesota today.

I was born in Maine, raised in Minnesota, to parents from Maine and Minnesota (both non-military background). As such, I have a very, very Midwestern/Northeastern way of speaking. There is certainly an aspect of regionalism to the usage of 'Sir' and 'Ma'am'-even the most courteous/respectful of...
