I hear one of the most annoying things is never knowing the time.

raimius · 06-21-2009, 12:33 AM

Watch the shadows. Pretty soon you will start to figure out the approximate time.

i don't even have a scheudle yet past wednesday. but honestly, even if you saw it it's really nothing to gander at. pt, meals, brieings, lessons, that's pretty much it. you'll see soon enough

and i now know the names of the 33 ppl who won the lottery and get me as their flight comm! wha-ha-ha!

Just curious, but are there any names that you might recognize? I'm not trying to pick your brain for names or who might be under your fearless leadership, Just wondering if there's anything that rings any sort of bell.

just kidding, i do have a schedule

honestly, other than the kid i went to high school with who's coming, a friend's friend, a friend's brother, and the "infamous" future mars kid, i wouldn't recognize anyone's name. i purposely didn't pay attention to names at the CC dinners to make sure i didn't remember someone as being a CCer or not, b/c i don't want even accidental bias good or bad.

Haha the Mars kid... Ouch.

USAFA10s · 06-21-2009, 10:23 AM

I am sure he will have a great time with you as his fearless leader eagle...

Mars kid?

(This is me filling space, because it won't let me post less than 10 words. Good grief, CC)

Mars kid is the kid who had an article about him in the Brownsville Herald about him going to the academy. Made it sound that he was completely prepared because of CAP and BSA. He stated, "I don't like to brag... but i'm going to be the first man on Mars."

Here's the full article with plenty of comments. some of them are disappointing and reflect poorly on USAFA, some are pretty funny, and some are good points:

And i didn't say i was his leader, i just said he's one of the few faces i'll recognize on i-day

packermatt7 · 06-21-2009, 11:58 PM

The kid may have gotten a bad break, because sometimes reporters will ask loaded questions for their articles knowing what the answer will be.

So do you hope to be the first person to step foot on Mars?

Then again, maybe he didn't. We'll see how he does I guess...

eagle36 · 06-22-2009, 10:25 PM

i've heard from decent sources that the article reflects him pretty well. guess we'll see come thursday.

oh, and for ppl who were asking earlier, the footprints will be fine even with construction. it's all good

HNeedle · 06-22-2009, 11:15 PM

one of my good friends from my squad knows him and insists that he's not that bad. also found out today that he is gonna be in my freshman squad

poor wareagles.

missmuff · 06-23-2009, 01:50 AM

pahahaha that means he's in eagle's basic squad.

eagle36 · 06-23-2009, 08:11 PM
