Believe me, "the box" is searched for such notes or at least clues as to the final minutes before you seal it up. Oh, and tell your parents if your pants legs are rolled up, it's because you didn't have time to roll them down after getting measured for boots. I thought for sure that Andrew had been in trouble for wearing baggy jeans. One final thing, make sure your boots fit. We've heard of Recruits suffering the entire time because they didn't want to speak up. Not good! |
That's good to know. I ship 20110907 and while my parents are both completely supportive, I just know Mom's silently freaking out that I'm leaving. I kinda look forward to leaving her an "I'm alive and well" note.
