<p>Last year....I believe I was Delta 2-3....Did anyone do the recon the second to last night? Some of the Delta dawgs did and we put up a sign that said "Delta Dawgs" on the scoreboard sign.</p>
<p>everyone, bring sunscreen</p>
<p>It may seem ridculous to you now, but that's what Plebe Summer and Plebe year are all about! You have to learn how to follow orders no matter how strange they sound!</p>
<p>Too true, midmom. I-night was a blast. I had to do the "regular" stuff, such as recite the mission, ranks, and Man of the Arena. I was also told to go tell people "ping" and "pong," drink water, and (because I was clean) rub dirty sweats on myself. When I was asked by another midshipman if I thought that being told to rub myself down with dirt was funny, I told the truth and said yes (I was almost laughing). The guy next to me (who was ordered to do the same thing), said no. In the end, we were told to just drop the sweats. Another time I was asked if I was looking at someone, and I told the truth again and said yes. Since I was honest, I didn't get yelled at. Instead, they went to the guy next to me. Haha. It was so much fun.</p>
<p>I-Night was awesome... I was only told to say the mission (over and over) again i might add. I think i said it maybe 30 times that night. I was also told to say Ping and Pong to people and once I was told to find out who the Deffensive Captain of the USNA football team was (which ended up being Bravo Companies XO). I once was looking at someone and they asked if i thought they were cute (it was a guy, and im a guy) so naturally i said, "Sir, No Sir" and he then perceded to ask me if i thought he was ugly and i, stupidly, said, "Sir, Yes Sir"... The Midshipmen then perceeded to laugh but when he regained his compsure, yelled furiously... I called a Ma'am Sir and was told to name 5 difference between a male and female in 5 seconds....</p>
<p>Some funny stuff i saw other people were do was... two girls had to fill their mouths with water so their cheeks were bulging... then they had to press both of their noses together. After that the Mid tried to make them laugh untill finally they did and spit water all over each other. lol good times. Some one else was also told to go out the pack of the building and find a piece of grass in 5 minutes. (and if u've been there, then you know the nearest piece of grass out the back is probably gona be the fields on the sea wall)... oh man it was fun. i'd do it again in a second.</p>
<p>""Ma'am Sir and was told to name 5 difference between a male and female in 5 seconds....""</p>
<p>Jhoopster^, that's my squad leader lol</p>
<p>she's ms. hough
5 6 or so, kinda chubby.</p>
<p>right?</p>
<p>Was she an Alpha squad leader?</p>
<p>Anyone in C-4-1?</p>
<p>yes, jhoopster. alpha squad leader</p>
<p>i saw the mouths full of water but not much else. I did see a guy facing a wall and marching into it for like 15 minutes. I also called some of the female mids sir and paid for it. Guys and girls, just admit your always wrong.</p>
<p>Very quickly I figured out that "SIR, NO EXCUSE, SIR" was going to be my favorite response for the duration of that exercise.</p>

<p>Hoorah to that... haha</p>
<p>same here, that was definately my most used response</p>
<p>This has been nagging me since NASS Session I ended. I STRONGLY recommend bringing gatorade powder or some type of mix-in to add to water so that you don't sacrifice your electrolyte level when drinking alot of water. I think that everyone from session I will agree with this.</p>
<p>Dumb question. Do we need to bring a blanket? The instructions said bring sheets, pillow, pillow case and towels, but nothing about a blanket. We're trying to pack light. The less the better. Thanks.</p>
<p>i think a blanket is uneccesary. you will most likely try and be as cool as possible when you are sleeping becasue it is hot, but if you get a late night chill you can always throw on your sweats.</p>
<p>My son didn't even take the blanket out of the suitcase.</p>
<p>Also, they give you a water bottle. My son said just keep filling it up and don't worry about adding anything special to it.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Just love your water. Drink what you love. Love what you drink. I love my water.</p></li>
<li><p>I don't normally sleep with sheets and a pillow, but I brought them just in case we HAD to have them. It resulted in just taking up valuable space in my bag.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do you think I should bring my camelbak, or just use the water bottle they give me?</p>
<p>What kind clothes do they issue you, and do you get to keep them or no?</p>
<p>My flight leaves from Omaha (to BWI) Saturday at 7:00AM.</p>
