<p>i have to have a tailor fill out this form with measurements for my uniform, yet the paper says that the deadline is march 1. when is it really? the form is one of the last pages in “instructions to appointees”</p>
<p>Ehhh youre good as long as you get it in by June I am sure... I had it filled out as soon as I got my packet which was a week before tht March 1st deadline... ;)</p>
<p>Have your mom or someone measure you. It's pretty simple.</p>
<p>will do. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't past the deadline, that's all</p>
<p>I'm going to take over this thread for a little while to ask if it is true- are we or are we not being issued ABU's for the incoming class? If so, what kind of boots will we be issued? I've been looking around and have been getting conflicting information, plus I didn't go to orientation, nor do I have the appointee package yet.</p>
<p>ABUs. you get the sage-green boots that they package says.. belleville 650s if i'm not mistaken. i have wellco, but they meet the standards. you'll get 2 pair; you can get them beforehand or wait til I-day. i'm not sure if we're also getting BDUs, but we WILL be getting ABUs no doubt</p>
<p>Word on the street is that you will NOT be getting BDUs.</p>
<p>not getting BDU's is good and not so good at the same time.
its great that we get these new cool uniforms
but we will sand out like a sore thumb when the rest of the wing wears BDUs</p>
<p>Is this info in the book "The Academy Experience?" We're having trouble locating this info. Do you get the instructions after you turn in your acceptance?</p>
<p>NY, four degrees always stand out like a sore thumb anyway. It's just that now we won't even have to try to spot you. ;)</p>
<p>Yup, it will be in the "Instructions to Appointees" booklet thtl come with the appointee kit after accepting the offer... ;)</p>
<p>I happen to enjoy bein a lone dandelion surrounded by green grass... ;)</p>
<p>I hear you don't have to iron the ABUs. And that means no more shining boots, correct?</p>
<p>and lots more time for pt and beat sessions? ;)</p>
<p>-and lots more time for pt and beat sessions?
Yay?</p>
<p>of course yay, we gotta be enthusiastic basics, makes it interesting... ;)</p>
<p>You ever try mousing over the smiley faces? It gives a description of what they are.
Sorry, totally random.</p>
<p>I assume college classes? Cuz I gotta wake my behind up at 6 to go to school, and have yet to do my AP Physics stuff, and I am an EST guy... :)</p>
<p>Yep. We're almost done as well. I'm happy- finals are next week.</p>
<p>I wish, just a couple more weeks, last day May 23rd!!!! ;)</p>
