They will feed the plebes. My son didn’t want anything big after the ceremony so we went to mid store and bought some snacks. He didn’t eat any of it - nerves etc.
Each in processing is different. My daughter took 6.5 hours to process. She was offered granola bars only in Alumni Hall, went right to the oath. When we were with her after the oath, she was starving and super thirsty. She ate half the sandwich we had for her, but nerves also kicked in and she didn’t want to eat too much. We did the bbq lunch, but still had sandwiches too just in case anyone else around us needed anything. We felt it was better to be over prepared and glad we did based on her in processing experience.
You will not see your plebe from when she walks into Alumni Hall until she is released after the oath ceremony for the brief farewell.
Excellent. This is what I thought so having you confirm makes me feel much better. Thank you!!
My son, a big athlete (read: hearty appetite) also missed the meals due to getting tied up behind people.
Pro tip: get a sandwich dad likes in case the plebe doesn’t eat it.
That’s a double pro tip!Pro tip: get a sandwich dad likes in case the plebe doesn’t eat it.
I think it’s easier to type out what you can online and print it off that way. I finished that form a few days ago and would do about 20 pages at a time and print them off. You probably also don’t have to fill every page out so that makes it easier.
Since this is your initial sf86, be familiar with it (been doing this for 30 years).
They get stuff to eat usually during processing, but depending on processing queue, it could be minimal. The BBQ is for the family and I recommend as there will also be info tents and tables next to it on hospital point. We had left a cooler under a tree in our designated area off Stribling Walk earlier so we didn't have to carry all day. After oath, we easily found a patch of open grass in that area to lay a blanket (no grass stains). I brought a towel for DS to lay on lap while he drank and ate. I had turkey hoagie for DS and waters and clear colored gatorade. Stay away from anything greasy or colored drinks. Less that can stain the better. Alumni Assoc took care of solo Plebes... He normally was a big eater, but he really enjoyed just sitting and having a couple ice cold waters and only finished 1/2 his hoagie. Last thing your Plebe needs if to return with stained White works.
Hey! I was a plebe(now youngster!) On my I-day I did not eat for a while. They gave us a cliff bar to munch on right after we processed, but after that I didn't eat until after the ceremony. I recommend getting a sandwich and water from Jimmy John's. That was a life saver
All of this. Take pictures in your new white works and send them home. Trust me, when you become an OG, you will want them. Your family will appreciate getting to be a part of the day however they can.
I'm laughing
. The items are pricey... But who cares, the kiddo has free TRB (tuition room board) + summer adventure training with personal hotel room.
