family style KP Indoc welcome!
In other words.... "Welcome to Kings Point. We hope you enjoy your visit."
family style KP Indoc welcome!
Regard to 'Buy everything from the nex supply list so it is delivered and you don't have to carry it all around', what kind of supply you are thinking of? what does 'delivered' mean?
I will be arriving couple days before Indoc so I will have a chance to follow your advices.
Thanks in advance.
Not to scare anyone, but these are a couple of my favorite shots from Indoc day zero. I can't take credit for them though. They were probably snapped by KP Photography.

I think that the photo on the right is a brother yelling at his sister in a family style KP Indoc welcome!
2017 (class of 2021) has 6 companies, 1-5 plus band. Plebe Candidates have their company number (B for Band Co.) written in marker on the back of their hands. You can try to ID their company by that reference as well.This was correct in 2016. Maybe someone can indicate if it stayed the same in 2017Easier found then I thought. Lets see if it uploads.

When you receive the link to the 2022 Logging-In Book along with all the forms, etc. you will see the: Personal Items Kit - Laptop - Printer - Accessories - Order Form. You will have the option to order almost everything (and quite possibly EVERYTHING if you're not picky about brands of items) from NEX. I recommend purchasing the laptop and printer package, Personal Items Kit Gear (Male or Female accordingly) at a minimum. We ordered most everything except for running shoes (he had personal favorites), personal hygiene items and undergarments so that son had a very manageable duffle bag to bring to Indoc. We also ordered additional PT shirts and shorts per the recommendation of other KP parents.
When the plebe candidate arrives at KP, their gear will be waiting for them (fingers crossed) and they will pick it all up in a regulation storage bin (Rubbermaid type) and be good to go. I know that some orders are lost or not filled correctly, but it all evens up and they figure it all out. Keep your emails and copies of forms and make sure your Plebe Candidate has along with all other items at Indoc so they can check to make sure what was ordered.
If you're a parent, join the social media USMMA 2022 Parent page and PC should join their respective page. The National Parents Association can be found through the USMMA web site as well.
Hope that helps!

As I've said before related to going out for sea year ... lay out everything you need, then put half of it back and you will still have too much.
It looks like they try to arrive at a balance with females spread out for room assignment purposes, but otherwise it seems random.2017 (class of 2021) has 6 companies, 1-5 plus band.

Besides Band Co, is there a method to the way companies are assigned?
Don't be "that guy" who knows the book ahead of time. It will earn you lots of extra attention from your cadre, and your company mates will hate you.frowned upon to have before
Be low profile. Attracting any attention during indoc is worth neither the effort nor the grief.Does anyone know the name of the book the plebes have to memorize and read from during indoc?

I'll take Mystery Plebe over Honor Plebe any day.

I’ve been a JROTC cadet for 4 years, so I already know the basics of drill, but would it be better to act clueless so I don’t get singled out?
