Doolie day out

<p>Does anyone know the exact date for doolie day out this summer? We want to be sure we’re in the right place at the right time.
Thanks.</p>

<p>If you're thinking about visiting your basic cadet during that time, I wouldn't recommend it. Doolie Day Out is a time to relax, usually hang out with a couple classmates, get a good meal, call home, and sleep. Despite good intentions, when parents come, usually things get a lot more complicated and stressful than expected. Parents Weekend is only about a month or so from then anyway.</p>

<p>Are you certain the class of 2010 wil get Doolie's Day Out. During the first orientation's BCT slideshow, the MSgt said no decision had yet been made between either the "Rodeo" or Doolie's Day Out.</p>

<p>Nope, however, it's my personal opinion that parents don't belong at either one.</p>

<p>I thought everyone was allowed to call home on Doolie Day Out. I want to know when (if it is) supposed to be so I can sit home by the phone. I would hate to miss my one chance at a phone call!</p>

<p>Yes they will be able to call home at some point, and parents will know in advance. This past summer, they got access to their cell phones (or to a phone) if they didn't have one) at some point and they were told over and over again in advance to write it in a letter home so parents would know (including date AND time). So rest assured that barring anything drastic, you should get a phone call and will know in advance. :)</p>

<p>Sorry to leave the impression we might visit during Doolie Day Out. Not the case, but our son's sponsor is a family friend and he would like to know. Also, like Nick's mom, we would like to be sure we're near the phone that day. Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>From what I've heard, just being with your sponsor on that day is what we'll want to do...definitely wait till Parent's weekend...and even then, be prepared to spend some time just relaxing. ;)</p>

<p>I believe Doolie Day out will be on July 16th. I remember this from the orientation because it's going to be on by birthday! It'll nice to know that I'll be spending my birthday relaxing and calling home.</p>

<p>According to my records from orientation, it is July 16th.</p>

<p>That'll be the the best birthday party you have ever had.</p>
