Indoc

Its getting closer. Only 20 more days!! I was just reminded of something from a really nice 'other academy' mom. If you've got parents going to I-Day with you, they are told in the parent's handbook to wear some colorful shirt so that you can pick them out of a crowd. Your 'rents won't be able to pick YOU out. Geez, ya'll look the same when you're in formation. Anyhow, you most likely will have the opportunity to turn and wave at your parents one last time during the lunch formation at the grinder. Tell your parents to either be in the middle, to the left side or to the right side so you'll know the general direction of where to look. I saw kids scanning the crowd looking but never finding their Mom's & Dad's. I know this is just some dumb little thing you'll probably rant at me about but you're only given 10 seconds to do it & it means alot at the time.

Anymore hints about Indoc to be shared anybody?

And make sure you take the kind that don't have that sharp weapon looking thing on the top of them. Somebody about put out my eye last year. I forgot to add water. Weski mentioned it earlier in another thread. Its important so I repeat it here. It is hard to find if you don't know where to look. Don't forget the xtra camera batteries.
