Not Fair!!

I knew us hacks at Five Points were being cheated!!! Where is my RIOT BATON!! I want my PEPPER SPRAY!! And while we are at it...I want Stingball Grenades with a fully-accessorized launcher!!! None of this gas gun with launching cup crap-ola!! Now that would make it a fun day in the Tower!!! YEAH!!! Who-HOOO

How come the rest of New York State is outfitted with these cool toys, and Central NY gets pooch-screwed!!

If you would like to know what to bring and what not to bring to the academy, just look under the messages from the post "heading to NYS Corrections Academy" or look up any of the NYS COs posts on here, you will find loads of info. We are all willing to help because we were all there at one time and know exactly how it is. Good Luck! Any questions,dont be afraid to ask.

Here is a killer tip. Go buy toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, soap, shaving cream, deodorant.....BUT ALL IN TRAVEL SIZED VERSIONS!!! Use these up in the next 3 weeks, but do not throw them out!!! You will take them to the Academy, and use them as part of your display!!! The trick is to have a bathroom bag full of the stuff you really need....and then these empty versions to display. You set your display up on Sunday night, you take them down Friday morning. This way you never touch your display, it never has anything missing, and you are never gigged for a bad room! THIS IS A BIG TRICK...MANY GUYS DO IT!!

Also, bring 2 black Magic-Markers!! You will be putting your last name on the back of all your white PT shirts, along with your class # on the front left probably the night after Day 1. The marker's they have there are crap...you would be doing yourself a great deed!!

NYSCO's.....especially those that just graduated....what else am I missing from the display?? I feel like I am leaving something out!! Let's help these guys out!!
