Here are a few pointers for your son's trip to CVW/Inspire. The list has been collected from my students and others on the forum:
1. He should bring something to read, homework or similar, as he will want to allow 'his' Plebe to study during the designated evening hours.
2. Your son should dress conservatively as to not stand out. Avoid clothing with logos or bright colors. Khakis and a collared shirt are ideal for the arrival and for class visits. He should have good walking shoes to walk quickly across the campus. He should not wear any NAVY gear! It will help his Plebe avoid any 'special' attention.
3. Your son should pack some gym clothes, swimsuit, weather gear, and clothes to layer as he will be in classrooms and outdoors too.
4. He should bring a positive outlook, have fun, ask questions and make a good impression.
5. Past attendees have recommended bringing some snacks to share with your hosts and other Plebes.
6. Also, be aware that TRAFFIC is ugly around USNA so anticipate issues arriving on time and plan accordingly!
One of my students will be attending the same session. I hope they both have a great time!
