Soooo about getting a hair cut, do we need to just buzz off all our hair or high and tight cut. With a 0 on the sides and a 1” ontop?

[Losingle08]

Either should be good. I went with high and tight and never got called out for it.

[Shockman]

Should we bring two suits?

[Losingle08]

No need for two suits. I got away with just one. An extra pair of pants would not hurt just In case if you are getting smoked and rip them.

Received an email from recruiting yesterday. The test scores for the 2017 exam should be in by May 17th.

I would just do a 1 or 2 around your whole head. A) it keeps you under the radar and no ATO will bother you about your haircut. B) You can easily cut it yourself over the weekends so you won't have to take time away from your family at the barber getting some kind of sick fade.

I invested in some cheap clippers and just buzzed my head every sunday with a 1 or a 0. Save money and time.

[reils49]

Just put a shine on them.

[Shockman]

From all the bate oxfords I tried on these are the most confortable.

Anyone from troop c area heard anything about an orientation?

[1trooper]

T-minus 1 week. Can’t wait

[D_s6]

Congrats to all those starting the academy next week! Enjoy that excited feeling while you can because after next week that feeling will be diminished until every Friday at about 7pm.

[dutchessNY89]

See everyone Sunday. I'm done posting for six months. 207!

Good luck to all you men and women who are beginning this next chapter in your lives. Just remember it’s not going to be easy but thousands of men and women have gone through those front doors just as you are about too. Do not let anything stop you from achieving what you want to do. We have all left families to attend the academy believe me when I tell you it is all worth it. There is no better feeling than when your family gets to see what you accomplished during the shield ceremony and also when you walk across the stage at the end. It’s 29 weeks which is small fraction of your 20 + year career you will have. Embrace the grind and good luck.

Just trying to plan ahead, does anyone know if we are off for the major holidays? Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day? I assume no but I'd like to make sure

[jaguarshark]

Absolutely not.

[reils49]

Get used to working holidays.

[mwhite41]

That's what I assumed, but just wanted to make sure I gave correct info to the wife.

[leo1112]

I highly doubt it lol

[1trooper]

Should I wear a Watch or no watch during the academy??

[Ssbuffalo]

You will need a watch. Everyone who doesnt have a watch week 1, will by week 2. A simple walmart digital watch is more than fine.

[1trooper]

Thank you very much

[jaguarshark]

I would recommend any Casio G-Shock which will last your entire career. Many models keep perfect Atomic time.

[1trooper]

Yes my casino g shock came in the mail today. I thought I remembered someone recommending them in an earlier post. Thanks again

[slapshot63]

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! It's been a wild ride but I'm happy for all of you who made it!
