you should wear modest clothing. don’t reveal too much skin. when i visit the yard, i try to avoid denim. i choose khaki instead.



You must be kidding! There is nothing wrong with a college student visiting a Mid and wearing what she would to class etc. Khaki give me a break. Hec - your jeans will be just fine! Even though as plebes and youngsters we have to wear the uniform of the day when going off the yard we still like to feel like college students, (at least I did, although for me it is on to civies !!!) To have friends come visit all prepped out does not help. I have friends come visit from GW all the time - it was great and a lot of fun to get off the yard and not be traveling in a pack of plebes. I can’t imagine telling them that they had to get dressed up to see me

NEWS FLASH - Not everyone at an Academy is “conservative”. I get real tired that view.
