<p>haha it was only a playful suggestion, I hadnt really thought about arrival time yet... hmmmm</p>
<p>that's all i took it as :)</p>
<p>darn...what if they are getting our tickets and we stay the night? we really don't have much choice about what time to get there, do we? I guess at this point, that is the least of my concerns...</p>
<p>You would probably be staying the night at a B&B family who will know to take you later, unless you tell them otherwise.</p>
<p>does B&B info come in the 2nd packet after appt acceptance?</p>
<p>go here, af16

<p>I think having my parents with me helped calm down, I would have been going crazy if they didn't come. Plus it was just nice to give them one last hug.</p>
<p>thanks missmuff... ;-)</p>
<p>I came by myself to I-day, but for different reasons. I honestly wasn't emotional saying goodbye to my parents... I was actually pretty excited to come. However, the morning of I-day, I was so nervous I almost puked and I was shaking really bad all the way up to the hill. Personally, I wanted to be by myself with my own thoughts that morning. Also, if you go by yourself, you can do the B&B and have a couple of built-in inprocessing buddies that make the day a bit easier.</p>
<p>And definitely take hornet's advice... go later rather than earlier in that 4-hour arrival time frame. You'll either just be standing around getting yelled at (fun, fun :)) or running around with everything you own in your left hand and basically being miserable. It's exciting.</p>
<p>Don't go right when it opens, but go pretty early. I waited till a little later, and due to a few other problems, created quite a mess for myself. I'm sure this will be discussed more closer to I-day though.</p>
<p>Also, be careful who you get for B&B. redhead was so lucky as to have the same family that I had (who I still keep in contact with). So that was fun, especially since the Col was as mischievous as me in scaring the redheaded one! :) :) I am everywhere! mwahahaha!</p>
<p>"Be careful who you get for B&B"?? Are you talking about the family? (Are you just joking--sorry if I missed the humor)--I didn't think you had a say in the B&B program?? Hornetboy you make me worry!</p>
<p>nope, you do not get a say (about which family you get). And I'm not joking either. Of all the different combination, redhead got the same family as me! </p>
<p>Hornetboy? you're killin' me.</p>
<p>Let's just say that I found my reputation had preceded me when I got to my B&B sponsors the night before inprocessing! :)</p>
<p>But some day I am going to find a way to pay hornet back for all of his...generousity. ha!</p>
<p>OOPS!! So sorry!! LOL!! I did NOT change your moniker on purpose! :) ....maybe soon you'll be a "hornetman"?</p>
<p>Now go study! (Thanks for the info :) )</p>
<p>I was nervous on I-day. I did puke at my B&B sponsor's house. I felt bad about that one... Actually, I felt a lot better after that. Nerves, I hate them sometimes!</p>
<p>Eh, hornet___, it still makes sense.</p>
<p>The family you get for B&B usually becomes your sponsor family after Basic is over. At least mine did. I don't talk to them, though. We just fell out of touch. </p>
<p>Get up for it, 2012!!</p>
<p>Do you current cadets have any advice on what to do? not to do? bring? for prospective cadets?</p>
<p>It's been mentioned on many previous threads, do a search through and you'll see stuff.</p>
<p>For me, my B&B family, doolie day out, AND current sponsor family are all different.</p>
<p>check this out, duke

<p>Wow. That's a great post to check up on as I-day approaches.</p>
