<p>sweetness, this is the best advice from the Parent’s Association SWAB-FAQ,
and from reading some of the prior posts here on bringing stuff:</p>
<p>“If it’s not on the list, don’t bring it.” Translation: don’t even think about bringing it, no way, no how. Take the bare minimum on R-Day.</p>
<p>My husband was talking to a friend last night who has 2 sons, one at the Merchant Marine Academy and one at CGA. This is what he told him, “Follow the instructions exactly about the packing list. It’s the first test.”</p>
