<p>Anyone else starting to feel it in their stomach? My nerves are already on edge!</p>
<p>yep. kinda ready to get it started actually.. waiting is always terrible. to me, it doesnt feel like i'm gonna be gettin my butt kicked in 4 days. but i'm sure when i get on those planes i'll start feeling differently</p>
<p>The plane rides? Chances are you'll have at least a few other cadets on your plane whom you can talk to. I think the plane rides will be fun.</p>
<p>I'm worried about getting off the plane in Colorado Springs and getting picked up.</p>
<p>Looks like I will be at the airport to welcome you all. :) haha maybe summer support isn't so bad...</p>
<p>I'm in GE right now, and unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that we "deploy" a few hours before you guys will show up. I guess I'll be missing this year's festivities (:(), but I will be around for the 4th of July! If any of you guys spot and recognize me, I'll be sure to toss something in your direction. :)</p>
<p>PETKO, dont forget your orientation appointee!!</p>
<p>Iam pacing my house constantly and find myself staring into space quite often actually, get up for it folks! ;)</p>
<p>And I'm sitting aorund getting (sort of) fat.</p>
<p>The first day is the worst. Most of my friends said that they were really disoriented and had no idea what was going on. There is just so much going on that you're going to be lost and oblivious to a lot of things. Tough it out, though. It's not too bad. You guys will be just fine. I'll see you during Second Beast... :D</p>
<p>2 MORE DAYS!!!
I am getting a bit worried. I don't want to over-work myself this week, but I still feel out of shape. I'm not worried about the plane ride, another appointee I know will be sitting right next to me. :) Then in Colorado, my sponsor family is picking me up, but I've known him my whole life! I'm not worried about that part...it's the day after!</p>
<p>I was ridiculously excited, right until the morning we inprocessed. I felt like I was going to throw up and I couldn't stop shaking. But once you actually get there, you won't have time to be wigging out... Promise! :) It's exactly as rtbcadet15 said. You will be disoriented and confused and will have no idea what's going on. It only gets better!</p>
<p>You will (probably) always feel at least a little unprepared in some way before a step this big in your life. At this point though, it's too late to change anything, so why worry about it? I'd recommend you actually start tapering your workouts right about now anyway. </p>
<p>Look, you're about to begin a journey few people have started, and even fewer have finished (between 900-1000 per year, so somewhere around 60,000 total). Just don't give up, and you will make it through.</p>
<p>so i'm sort of confused about wednesday...we fly in (my b&b family's picking me up) and some people are taken back to doolittle hall?</p>
<p>and redhead, you're greeting people? is that like what they did for us at summer seminar?</p>
<p>i can't believe it's this close...i was excited and nervous, and now i think i'm just in a state of shock!</p>
<p>i was wonderin about wednesday too. i fly in, i have to catch a shuttle to Doolittle hall, then my B&B host is picking me (and 3 others) up from there.</p>
<p>wow..only two more days until inprocessing and only 1 more day until i leave!</p>
<p>sorry if my reminding everybody is kind of annoying :(</p>
<p>I know how you feel! I must be driving my friends and family crazy because everywhere we go or everything we do I am like "awww this is the last time I will ever ________"</p>
<p>However it has resulted in me getting my family to go out to eat 3 out of the last 4 nights! We celebrated my last Thursday, my last Saturday, my last Sunday, and tonight will be my last Monday! Who said that saying goodbye had to be sad all the time?!</p>
<p>That's funny kbd!
I'm getting bussed to Doolittle Hall also... I'm a little annoyed, because I'd rather not have to go to the Academy until I actually have to be there! It's no big deal though.</p>
<p>well, though my goodbye's quite aren't as festive as yours kbd, my parents will be taking me to a sushi restaraunt tomorrow night- where i will have the sushi feast of a lifetime!!! i'm so excited :o!!</p>
<p>lol kbd...my younger sister keeps saying, "this is the last time she'll (referring to me) do ________ before she moves out"</p>
<p>it's driving everyone in my family nutso! :D</p>
<p>Undercover, dont get food poisoning or something ;)</p>
<p>Im getting a little nervous too, but its something we all have to do (since we chose this path). And if we are determined, we will get through it!</p>
<p>On another note, I've been preparing myself for 'basic style wake ups' by having my dad pound on my door and yell before he leaves for work . . . it's not too fun!</p>
<p>BCT-style wake-ups were my least favorite part of Basic for sure. Nothing like starting your day off right, eh? ;)</p>
