So I’ll point out some of the GOOD things that haven’t been mentioned here. I don’t know all the right words, but will do my best to share
. NOTE: all from last experience. As with all things, could be/probably will be different pieces/parts.
Uniforms: more relaxed. PT gear? Idk but not what they usually had to wear. At least more relaxed. Shoes optional.
No chow calls/group activities like that. This is most awesome for plebes.
No mando breakfasts. Napping improves. Less ‘focus’ on plebes.
Re food: if ‘ya can, stop at sams club and stock up before reporting. Better this time of year, is that the window ledge can act as a fridge
Online classes? Pants optional. Need I say more. JK. Or am I?? Seriously, though, no traversing the yard in the freezing cold.
Don’t fret. Some things may be less than ideal…but especially to a plebe…many things are MORE ideal. Especially to a plebe!! Bc plebes don’t rate weekends, etc. It’s the upper class loosing weekends, out celebrating with their buddies on weekends that really make me sad. But for a plebe? They will *probably* feel less loss. And even actually enjoy the reprieve a bit.
They will NOT starve. Last year there were some serious supply issues. And they still did fine. This go-around? It’s a ‘been there, done that’ things for usna. Seriously, they have lots of learning under their belts about how to run this. In all aspects: food, learning, etc. From the cheap seats, it seems that the trainings take the biggest hit. Hopefully this will be a shortened event.
LETS GOOOOO ROM 2022
