Some ?s about things on the "to pack" list

<p>In addition to the leatherman and lighter, DS is bringing the suggested nylon cord and duct tape. Duct tape will be wrapped around a sharpie; not a whole roll...and some blister band aids.</p>

<p>I just got back from my West Point Parents Ass. sponsered "send-away" luncheon, where I (suprisingly) met up with my cadet host I had for candidate overnight visit. I asked him some of the questions and he said cigarette lighters are good, used for shoe polish, zippos are just more stuff to bring. leatherman is a good idea, but he didn't.</p>
