<p>Anyone else going this weekend??</p>
<p>I'm going. It sounds like fun. They've got quite a bit going on this weekend.</p>
<p>Check out rugby at noon on Saturday at Farragut Field.</p>
<p>The candidate weekends are great; that is what helped convince me to accept my appointment last week. Have a nice time.</p>

<p>No can do, I'll be at the Lacrosse game</p>
<p>Yeah, CVW was awesome, I went on Jan. 27-28. But, something that through me off was that you choose your mid, you aren't assigned. I don't know if anybody else knew that, but I had no idea. Otherwise, just be outgoing and get all your questions answered (and do SMT).</p>
<p>navy invitational swim meet on saturday! come come all ye drags.</p>
<p>hbc025 what is SMT? (excuse me for my ignorance). </p>
<p>Also, does anybody know what types of clothes I should bring, like khakis or jeans?</p>
<p>SMT=Saturday Morning Training. Generally some form of military training -- could be PT, could be a lecture or briefing. Sometimes its a "field trip" such as to the museums in DC. SMT is managed at the Company level, so the upperclass plan the activities.</p>
<p>wear khakis, nice dress pants. bring a pair of jeans, but odds are you won't wear them except to like sporting events.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wore a polo and khakis on my visit. For our SMT we jogged 3 miles over the Severn to the Naval Station and learned fire squad tactical manuevers. Then we jogged back. Make sure to bring sweatpants AND a sweatshirt and athletic gear (running shoes, shorts etc.). I didn't bring my sweatpants, and it was about thirty degrees when we started the run. Thankfully, my mid's roomate lent me a pair.</p>
<p>Thank you. This is very helpful.</p>
<p>hm...very cool....</p>
<p>going march 24-25, anyone else?</p>
<p>for girls, would you wear like, a pants suit? or...</p>
<p>I wore nice pants and a jeans jacket with a collared shirt underneath (as a girl...). Some guys were wearing ties, but not a whole lot.</p>
<p>aviationgirl - I'm going the 24th</p>
<p>thanks marmadillo! what kind of shoes did you wear? i really dont think heels would be appropriate, i guess i need to find a nice pair of shoes....ugh, shoe shopping can be such a hassle sometimes....</p>
<p>see ya there Swillz!</p>
<p>i'm a girl, and i wore khakis with a nice shirt on the first day, jeans the second day. for shoes i just wore the nice kind of sneakers (the non-athletic kind). heels weren't really necessary. have fun! mine was great...sliding on mattresses down the hall at midnight is wicked awesome!</p>
<p>cooolll.....man, i think i need to get a nicer pair of khakis. the ones i have are both cords...one's ok i guess...but the other one is destroyed a little....</p>
<p>thanks for the shoes help, boston usmc....i guess some black pumas or something? i'll figure something out...I"M STOKED</p>
<p>are we supposed to bring a sleeping bag or blanket?? anyone going this friday (feb 24)?</p>
<p>i used a mattress pulled from another room and sheets that my mid had. a lot of people got cots though. right before mine, everyone going on the CVW got this mass e-mail with the sole purpose of telling us to bring pillows.</p>
