Orientation Dinner for CC members Sunday April 15th also!

<p>So Hornet and freinds - with your "late pass" do you want to push back dinner a bit to give you more time to return from the choir event that I think you driving back from in the morning?</p>

<p>We're thrilled to hear you can join us and will set the dinner time to whatever YOU would like....</p>

<p>5:30 works great for me...so that would be up to hornetguy.</p>

<p>I'm fine with before. It's eagle36 that has the choir thing I believe (not in choir here). I'll check with him, otherwise I'm good.</p>

<p>I am new to this site and I saw that you guys will be attending the orientation on April 16-17, I will be arriving Sunday afternoon around 1 or 2 in Colorado Springs and we are staying at the Academy hotel. My mom and I would love to get together with other candiates Sunday evening.</p>

<p>cool, where in So Cal are you from?</p>

<p>Glad to have you join us. Just cut-n-paste the list above and add your name and the # of people coming to dinner....</p>

<p>Famous Dave's worked out great. Good food and good talkin'. Small tables though, but that can be changed.</p>

<p>I second everything hornetguy said. Dinner was awesome. A great experience.</p>

<p>Glad to hear the 1st pre-orientation dinner went well so we'll stick with Famous Dave's. I'll call ahead for the reservation - Hornet, how many guys from the academy are you thinking will be coming along for some more ribs? </p>

<p>Here's the last list I saw - drop me a PM or email (Dknightfam@ Aol.com) if anyone wants any more details, needs a ride, etc. We'll be at the Hampton North....</p>

<p>eagle36 will also probably go with me. He'll be riding with me for whomever gives us a ride!</p>

<p>Hornet - if you need a ride from the gate just PM me some details on how to get ya. We'll have room for 2 in the car, or if more, I'll drop momma and the boy at the restaraunt first, and then swing by the gate to get you and your freinds....</p>

<p>i've heard i get back form Chicago early afternoon, so i am sending up my SSS now. will let you know by thursday whether or not i can make it</p>

<p>For the parents, I figure a set-up will be done similar to the 8th where one table is parents, the other is "kids." So, if you would like G4C or I to visit with you guys too, be sure to save us a seat at the "big kid" table, then we can alternate in and answer any questions. Probably the big thing I would have liked to do on the 8th.</p>

<p>Just heard from a Krystal that heard of our planned dinner on Facebook (anyone else posting there?) and she says she'll be bring 6 additional bodies to dinner. The more the merrier, right? Not sure of the mix (i.e. if all 6 are incoming cadets, or a mix of parents) but thought I'd let the rest of you know so as to look out for them in the Famous Dave's lobby in case I am late getting there after picking up Hornet and freinds at the campus....</p>

<p>See you Sunday. And for those of you flying in early, make sure to check the weather forcast - they're saying 8" of snow and blizzard conditions for Friday. :( Sunny 50's on Sat and Sun (maybe it'll melt?) but cold (40's) and rain showers for Orientation days Mon/Tues, so dress accordingly (layers! - we'll be inside for the breifing most of Monday...)</p>

<p>Dan Knight</p>

<p>lol, Krystal contacted me about the dinner since there are some runners on a facebook group. Will be crowded. eagle36 may not be able to go since he's not expected back till about 5, we'll see. Otherwise, G4C and I will have fun talking to the LARGE group! Come full of questions! (no doubt yall will)</p>

<p>And its currently snowing....gotta love our weather! :)</p>

<p>Runners? What, is Krystal part of an incoming cross country team or something? :)</p>

<p>And speaking of snow, the Weather Channel is forcasting a LOVELY day for you guys on Friday (8" snow, blizzard wind conditions, etc for tomorrow) - how fast does the white stuff melt around campus?</p>

<p>And Hornet - don't forget to PM or email me directions as to how to pick you guys up on Sunday....</p>

<p>i'll let you hornet know. if we don't come back til 5, i can't make it. then again, we might not go to Chicago at all if the storm hits like expected. guess we'll just see what happens, and i'll let hornet know my status (kinda like he's my mother away from home!) ;) j/k hornet</p>
