Yes Definitely!!!
Yes. Make sure you bring that on I-Day and before they take whatever bag you have with you away (they put all the bags plebes come in with in storage basically for the summer) make sure you have that with you. No matter how much they are yelling at you to hurry up and move faster make sure you have that with you. Tell them you need them for running because you have shin splints. You are going to be running constantly for the next 6 weeks and many people who have never had shin splints before experience them for the first time during plebe summer. Whatever braces you have that may help you, bring them. If worse comes to worse and something happens to your brace you can go to medical and get another. Your parents can mail them to you if that is what you prefer, but you cannot receive mail for the first couple of days and you may need them during that time. Good Luck. Just take it one meal at a time.
