<p>I Haven't Seen My Son On Aim The Last Few Days And Don't Know If Service Is Down Or He Is Just Too Busy. Does Anyone Know If Aim Is Up At Kp?</p>
<p>it's in and out... chances are he just hasn't been on... we had command inspection this morning so we've all been busy.</p>
<p>thanks for the info</p>
<p>I talked to mine after the inspection and before a study hall around 1pm eastern</p>
<p>AIM was working a couple of nights ago. I think they are all exhausted.</p>
<p>I had about a 4 min conversation today on AIM. If your's was in 2nd co they got rack today...so they may have been sleeping!</p>
<p>we had about three sessions on AIM w him all short; rack time and he slept, study hall, tatoo, and lights out for him by 10</p>
<p>My son is in 2nd company--how/why do they "get rack?"</p>
<p>LearningLots....getting rack means they actually got to get in their bunks and sleep during the day. My son was so happy that he got a nap AND today they got to sleep until 0800! It is my understanding that even if the PC's have any free time they are not allowed to nap, not even sitting up in a chair. Apparently they did well on their big inspection yesterday and that was the reward.</p>
<p>getting rack-in is a pretty common practice after a command inspection because of the fact that they're not allowed to go to sleep until around 0100 at the earliest. most times, the plebes stay up all night and don't sleep at all before because they're cleaning so hard. thus they need some sleep for their own health. other rewards follow command if you do really well.</p>
<p>make sure he has the older version... the new one dosnt work with the firewall</p>
<p>the new one works if you know what you're doing...
i use PRO and it works just fine, get booted every so often but i just log right back on and it's fine.</p>
<p>You guys were right. I took a church ride up there today. He is so swamped he hasn't had time to go on. He said he was up until 5:30 for inspection and only received 2 hours sleep. At least he got a 95. I felt bad for him since he seems he is working on very little sleep. Also, he said football is taking up a huge amount of time. But thanks for the feedback.</p>
<p>Well they get another command inspection on tuesday so they will be up late again on monday night.</p>
<p>What? We don't have another command inspection until February 2nd. There's only one per trimester.</p>
<p>that's only for 1st company... 3rd co that won't happen, cause we did really well. i know, i know. we have new barracks and blah blah blah...</p>
<p>supermansmom, getting very little sleep is unfortunately a part of life at KP. we all have to do it, and it sucks. that's probably what makes this place so hard is that you're given so much to do that you can't get a full night's sleep, ever. it gets easier with time, but it's never easy. so when your kids come home, if they don't get out of bed for 2 days, that's why.</p>
<p>correct on 1st Co - I believe the P/C's passed but the upperclassmen dropped the ball. regardless the entire company pays. Older barracks are an issue, mine says it is like a sieve - you can dust all you want but 30 minutes later it will not matter.</p>
<p>i don't see the point in reinspecting them... they're moving to brand new barracks in like a week and the ones they're in now are being gutted and renovated... but whatever</p>
<p>oh my s was thrilled to have to do it again. but i understand the P/C's received special privileges for their inspection</p>
