<p>Rocky,
Many of the candidates may be gone to NY already. Hopefully someone is still around to answer what the mailings were about. Did you ever receive the instructions for candidates booklet? That has all the packing information in it.</p>
<p>My son is class of 2011 so we are two years removed from R-day but I know there are few items you need to bring that seem to be the same every year. They are:</p>
<p>low quarters
running shoes
shaving kit
paperwork (bank form, SS card, travel receipts, etc)
drivers license or ID</p>
<p>Usually they tell you to bring boots also, but I have heard that this year they plan to just issue them to you during Beast. I think you could bring boots if you already have them.</p>
<p>I found an old thread about the packing list that may be of some use to you.
